Tracy Durante, the city’s outreach coordinator, said 35 percent of guests are women and 16 percent are employed. Volunteers and community donations have supported operations, and staff reported the shelter has had few removals; one person was asked to leave for a night.

Durante said the shelter’s configuration allowing separation of women has been appreciated by female guests and has increased a sense of safety. Volunteers and local organizations have supplied meals and donated items, and Durante publicly thanked a list of donors and partners that helped the launch.

Committee members asked about neighborhood impacts. The police chief confirmed the city had received concerns from nearby organizations such as the YMCA; the department reassigned and reprioritized patrols and said regular communication with the YMCA has helped address problems. Deputy Chief Baten visited the shelter and engaged with guests, which staff said had a positive effect on guest behavior and neighborhood relations.

Catholic Charities’ Gary Feltes presented operational data drawn from the statewide coordinated entry system (Clarity) for April and additional service information. Feltes reported Good Shepherd Shelter had 89 (monthly total), a daily census averaging 28.6 guests, and average daily turnaways of 1.7 for April. He clarified that Good Shepherd reserves beds for working individuals but that if a reservation holder does not show by 7:00 a.m. staff may offer the bed to other guests. Feltes also noted that starting May 1 the city’s operating mode changes for the warm months (the shelter is not operating night sheltering in the same way during warm months and will shift in winter).

Catholic Charities said it will offer summer services including drop-off laundry and shower access Mondays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; the program will provide four showers with time limits when demand is high. Committee members and staff discussed the possibility of council member tours or volunteer nights, and staff encouraged individual visits rather than large group tours to preserve guest privacy.

The committee thanked outreach staff and community partners and placed the outreach update on file.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Wausau Public Health & Safety Committee Meeting - 5/19/25","oneSentenceSummary","City outreach staff and Catholic Charities reported the shelter opened May 1, has served 85 unduplicated individuals (35% women, 16% employed), and benefitted from community donations and volunteers; Catholic Charities provided additional quarterly statistics and summer service plans.","taxTitle","Wausau, Marathon County, Wisconsin","taxId",4562,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":44,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6535538,"Tavern report: underage sale checks, overserving incident under investigation; clerk and PD to send compliance reminders",381,882695,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3393905-a2a32cb5933a9c5518698c4b23b13f60&start=882&end=1264","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3393905-a2a32cb5933a9c5518698c4b23b13f60/thumbnail_882695.jpg","/articles/6535538/Wausau/Marathon-County/Wisconsin/Tavern-report-underage-sale-checks-overserving-incident-under-investigation-clerk-and-PD-to-send-compliance-reminders","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6535538-e74cf2845b4980e796ccf3d3bb5335ab/orig.mp4?Expires=1776574628&Signature=EAyQCBXOI01cukMglat5hLvI7hyFFxBb4gcsdIvoeQCh0AFJv30Fp1iaJQQZ-MPur90fR24OyQnq65ihEOK5w2P1bS5anEKW31bUPy-5fZB1z9mJc~LHlJpxq1CoUq3v9IfFYBqNmjc647JxhZli2mHQ4Tb5nN8wts6Lz3QyodzNsWNqHLpLvL~NigAO9c5kvBj3wO1P9UEK7B~OUOdaTsbmAHjL2S4Jjzn2L9zCD0JkF6WqlZjFz5Ta4bhigtvosF8ouvc8PrdLdqgT97AK3c-Sq5Y124yIashrDqxgjpdwnDqxfa4HRPc3oCv-hf-vvnvMM3JgPhpqfj7D0gfgIA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Public Health and Safety Committee reviewed the tavern activities report for April at its May 19 meeting and placed the report on file.

The police chief described joint compliance work with the health department that used underage decoys in plainclothes to test servers; three taverns sold to individuals under the legal limit of 21 during those checks. The chief emphasized that in those cases the patrons had identification listing their true date of birth and that the sales resulted from server error or failure to check dates of birth.

The chief also reported an incident at M and R bar in which an extremely intoxicated individual walked out, fell and suffered a traumatic brain injury. That incident is under investigation by the police department to determine whether there is any culpability or legal action related to overserving.

The report noted at least one noise complaint related to Aftershock and committee members discussed summertime concerns when open windows raise neighborhood sensitivity to sound. Committee members and staff discussed recurring compliance issues with operators failing to notify the clerk’s office of operational changes, including changes of location or outdoor operations, and occasional failures to post licenses or have the licensed bartender on duty carry their credential as required.

Staff and the clerk’s office agreed to draft a single communication—coordinating points from the police department and clerk—to send to all class B license holders ahead of the July 1 renewal cycle. The communication will remind licensees of upcoming compliance checks, noise expectations, license posting rules, and the need to inform the clerk’s office of operational changes.

The committee placed the tavern activities report on file with no recorded objections.","The committee reviewed the April tavern activities report, which documented underage compliance-check failures at three taverns, a severe overserving incident at M and R bar that is under investigation, and recurring noise complaints at Aftershock; staff agreed to send a joint clerk–police reminder to license holders ahead of July renewals.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6535543,"Committee removes private-rental references from 400 Block special-event application",169,708550,878375,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3393905-a2a32cb5933a9c5518698c4b23b13f60&start=708&end=878","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3393905-a2a32cb5933a9c5518698c4b23b13f60/thumbnail_708550.jpg","/articles/6535543/Wausau/Marathon-County/Wisconsin/Committee-removes-private-rental-references-from-400-Block-special-event-application","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6535543-780bae6d56e9a02ce5b88b13d1429a44/orig.mp4?Expires=1776574628&Signature=cJUlKXrKQJsmaEto45XaBnTx7PPnAICMRC-7IPY-Ey6b10U73in9E4PYZaI2DyBVw9KBwQ-y9fXO0EaqBiKy~4zdNy537eSv8JFuLcjuJQggeLXznW1rO8sfg5t0VfZOkqWCcpjms75fGZcAByP~-a0zcEhpwWWXhQ~3~4cd589MG8QZIFFiVe193vwL1f7ybcMhZjcHLQk0rlQHJOyDXkuZwa5UOR3cqzz9bBvRH5HVeRFQ~-fY6IX3ncUdSRU7GvTR09dr4Px1zaBX1Y53xPw802GI54XzWraMrqXsozaWVkBNKHA~BftMfRpV~Sj2F4eiEKW62mjKr6AEAUWZjw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wausau Public Health and Safety Committee on May 19 approved staff's request to remove references to private, fractional rentals of the 400 Block from the city's special-event application and to replace specific fee listings with a reference to the city fee schedule.

Staff explained the parks department does not practice reserving a quadrant of the 400 Block for private events, because the block is surrounded by public right-of-way and would be difficult to manage and enforce as a private space. The language allowing people to reserve a quarter of the block dated from the block's initial opening, when planners contemplated private uses such as small wedding receptions or stage use; parks staff reported those uses rarely occurred.

Committee members asked questions about past usage and enforcement. Staff and parks representatives said the change would reduce administrative burden and avoid having the application come back to the committee whenever fees change, since fees will now be referenced by the fee schedule rather than enumerated in the application form.

A motion to approve the staff recommendation was made and seconded; the motion carried with no recorded opposition.

The committee directed staff to update the application language and to implement the fee-reference change so future fee updates do not require committee review of the application language.","The committee voted to amend the special-event application to remove language allowing fractional private rentals of the 400 Block and to refer fees to the city fee schedule.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6535549,"Committee approves bulk alcohol licenses, grants bartender license to Lindsay Adams after rehabilitation evidence",648,160,649000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3393905-a2a32cb5933a9c5518698c4b23b13f60&start=0&end=649","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3393905-a2a32cb5933a9c5518698c4b23b13f60/thumbnail_160.jpg","/articles/6535549/Wausau/Marathon-County/Wisconsin/Committee-approves-bulk-alcohol-licenses-grants-bartender-license-to-Lindsay-Adams-after-rehabilitation-evidence","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6535549-6a6dd2115cd36e2c1cb19b4df5cb8fc4/orig.mp4?Expires=1776574628&Signature=OdR620GhCPomltyY3efiD~A67B3yPsBQdEgYP~iBzoFMVvFHaVZrFLJKWu~JkZNWoRLUn~P9R38TBxH16HhAioHLtRD2hCzBiKCbgzSfL-ZG3COwnyc9g1VN7T5XW5SpmnCfS2QeOcYEtMNQLTPxzxPoC2SgBJRRzllnrENafiNdwgA1DGDgxpyUjf6dIsFw8koAr6bjPSdB91UqpzbZR8QmXYzCXyrf-TXONo8VnU8F29qb4KaXURrhNye2PxK8DAcn~tjIEMvD7HrfqDfaAnSigRBBLtICCg2wsFkfYjO7Qmlkpne~53Y1vcdLUWXtaDCvaRU~1k03weNi2lmqzg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wausau Public Health and Safety Committee voted May 19 to accept staff recommendations on alcohol license renewals and new class B licenses and separately approved a bartender/operator license for Lindsay Adams after committee review of rehabilitation documentation.

Committee members voted to accept or deny licenses as recommended by staff, excluding the matter of Lindsay Adams so the committee could consider newly submitted evidence of rehabilitation. The batch action approved 2025 establishment renewals and three class B restaurant/nightclub applications the subcommittee had recommended: Monk Botanical Garden, Los Compadres (new owner of the former Jalapenos restaurant), and a change of ownership/operation for Oz Nightclub, which will become Emerald Nightclub. Truly’s eatery and bar was pulled from the package and will be considered at a later date. The committee recorded no opposition to the motion to accept the staff recommendations with that one exception.

After the batch vote, the committee considered Adams’s application separately. Adams submitted a rehabilitation letter from a probation/parole agent and an employer letter after the initial denial recommendation. The police chief reviewed the documents at the meeting and said Adams appears to have actively participated in rehabilitative programming; the chief recommended reversing the denial recommendation with the caveat that future conduct at renewal could change that recommendation. The committee then voted to approve Adams’s bartender/operator license. Committee members noted licenses renew annually on July 1; Adams’s approved license will proceed to the full council in June for final action.

The city attorney and clerk’s office handled packet materials and confirmed that the package included all class A retail, class B restaurants and taverns, and the 2025 renewals. Committee members asked staff to treat Truly’s as removed from the current approval list and to consider it at the next meeting. No ordinances or statutes were cited in the discussion; the action was limited to committee recommendation to council.

Votes at a glance: The committee unanimously approved the staff-recommended batch of licenses with the exception of Lindsay Adams, which was taken separately and approved. The batch included the 2025 establishment renewals and class B approvals for Monk Botanical Garden, Los Compadres, and Emerald Nightclub; Truly’s was pulled for later consideration.

The committee chair closed the item after instructing staff to forward the approved applications to council and noting the July 1 renewal date for licenses.","At its May 19 meeting, the Public Health and Safety Committee approved staff-recommended alcohol license renewals and new class B licenses and separately approved a bartender/operator license for Lindsay Adams after reviewing evidence of rehabilitation.","actionData","errors"]
