The City of Waukesha's Ordinance & License Committee meeting on September 22, 2025, spotlighted the application process for bartender licenses, with a particular focus on first-time applicant James Davis. Davis, who is seeking a license to work at Bosco's, attended the meeting without a representative from the establishment, which raised concerns among committee members.

Committee members emphasized the importance of having an agent present during the application process. They noted that the agent plays a crucial role in understanding the responsibilities tied to the bartender's license, especially regarding compliance with regulations. Without the agent, the committee expressed hesitation about approving the license, citing the need for accountability in the event of any violations.

Davis, who is currently not employed but has a potential job offer pending the approval of his license, faced scrutiny regarding his background. The committee indicated that certain aspects of his history warranted further consideration before granting the permit.

The discussion highlighted the committee's commitment to ensuring that all applicants meet the necessary standards for responsible service in the community. As the meeting concluded, the committee's decision on Davis's application remained pending, underscoring the importance of thorough vetting in the licensing process.
