Operator license for Timothy Consigni referred after recent repeat OWI; committee asks for proof of rehabilitation
Summary
The Alcohol License Review Committee referred Timothy Consigni’s application for an operator license to its September meeting and asked him to refile a complete application and submit substantial, credible evidence of rehabilitation, after members reviewed multiple recent convictions including two OWI convictions.
The Alcohol License Review Committee on Aug. 20 referred the operator-license application of Timothy Consigni to its next regular meeting and asked the applicant to submit a corrected application and evidence that he has begun court-ordered treatment.
Consigni told the committee he has two OWI convictions (one in 2021 and a second in February 2025), a 2020 conviction for open intoxicants in a vehicle and a 2024 vehicle-owner liability conviction for a hit-and-run. Captain Hartman of the Madison Police Department summarized the background-check flags for the committee, listing the three earlier convictions and the most recent second-offense OWI.
Committee members pressed Consigni on why he did not list the earlier convictions on his application and whether he had documentation of rehabilitation. Consigni said he had been “confused on the whole application process,” acknowledged the omission, and said he has been largely abstinent in recent months, is arranging an ignition interlock device and intends to begin a repeat-offender driver safety program at Madison Area Technical College (MATC). He told the committee he was serving 13 days of home confinement for his most recent conviction and planned to enroll in AODA classes.
Attorney McReynolds advised the committee to consider the ALRC application guidelines cited in the hearing (guidelines addressing operating a motor vehicle under the influence, habitual-offender thresholds, truthful completion of applications and the requirement that substantial credible evidence of rehabilitation be produced to grant exceptions). Members cited those guidelines when weighing whether the omission was inadvertent and what proof of rehabilitation would be required for approval.
Alder Oliver Revere moved to refer the application to the committee’s next meeting; Miss Carter seconded. The committee adopted the referral with no recorded objection and directed Consigni to submit a corrected, complete application plus “substantial credible evidence of rehabilitation,” such as AODA assessment and attendance records, letters from treatment providers or certificates of completion, and proof that he has begun the driver-safety program. Committee staff said Consigni should provide those documents to Deputy Clerk Jim Verbic ahead of the September meeting (the ALRC meets the third Wednesday of each month).
