Marshfield committee approves merchant and liquor license renewals; grants two licenses contingent on property-tax payment
Summary
The Marshfield Judiciary and Licensing Committee approved a consent agenda of merchant and liquor license renewals and granted two separate liquor licenses on the condition that outstanding property taxes be paid, committee members voted June 3, 2025.
Marshfield’s Judiciary and Licensing Committee approved a consent agenda of transient merchant and liquor-license renewals and granted two separate liquor licenses contingent on payment of delinquent property taxes during its June 3, 2025 meeting at City Hall Council Chambers.
City staff told the committee that the owner of LHM Brewpub LLC had made a late first installment on the property tax bill, which, under state rules, caused the entire tax to become due; staff recommended granting the license only after full payment. "They do have delinquent property taxes that are due before we could issue this license to them," the staff member said.
The committee approved the consent agenda, which included transient merchant licenses for Coney Fresh Farms (June 11–13, 2025, parking at Menards) and Tree Ripe Fruit Company (June 19, 2025, and July 10, 2025, parking at the Marshall Mall), and multiple liquor-license renewal applications listed in the packet. Committee members moved and seconded a motion to grant the LHM Brewpub LLC license to agent Renell Grama at 108 West Ninth Street contingent on payment of the outstanding property taxes; the motion passed by voice vote.
A similar case involved La Quintera, agent Alejandra Hernandez at 355 South Central Avenue. Staff said a past tax agreement had cleared older delinquencies, but a late first installment on the current year again triggered the statute requiring full payment. Committee member Mister Kuran moved to grant the La Quintera license contingent on payment of the property tax; Miss Spiroz seconded, and the motion carried by voice vote.
Committee discussion was procedural and limited to staff explanations of the tax status and the legal consequence of a late installment; no members requested further delay or additional conditions. The committee did not provide roll-call vote counts in the meeting minutes; outcomes were recorded by voice vote as approved.
The committee also approved a slate of renewal applications included in the packet: 37 class B combination liquor and fermented malt beverage renewals and 21 class A combination liquor and fermented malt beverage renewals, according to the materials provided to members. The items were approved as part of the consent agenda with no separate debate noted.
