Committee denies beverage operator license to Kennedy Taylor Lockhart, assesses 50 demerit points
Summary
After closed-session deliberation under state open-meetings law, the Marshfield Judiciary and License Committee adopted findings of fact and denied a beverage-operator license to Kennedy Taylor Lockhart, assessing 25 demerit points for failing to list convictions and 25 demerit points for an October 2024 alcohol-related conviction.
The Marshfield Judiciary and License Committee denied a beverage-operator license to Kennedy Taylor Lockhart and assessed a total of 50 demerit points after adopting findings of fact that the applicant failed to disclose prior convictions and had an alcohol-related conviction in October 2024.
The committee first moved into closed session under Wisconsin Statutes s. 19.85(1)(a) to deliberate concerning a quasi-judicial matter; the committee recorded the motion to go into closed session citing that statute. The transcript shows the applicant, Kennedy Taylor Lockhart, was not present at the hearing.
When the committee reconvened in open session, a findings-of-fact statement was read into the record: the applicant received 25 points for failing to list convictions and 25 points for an alcohol conviction in October 2024; the applicant had also received notice of the committee hearing but did not appear. A committee member moved to adopt the findings and to deny the beverage-operator license; the motion was seconded and carried.
The committee’s action was recorded as a denial of the license and assessment of demerit points totaling 50. The meeting transcript did not record a roll-call vote with member names for this item and did not specify an appeal process or next steps for the applicant in the meeting minutes.
