Council denies operator license for Cassandra Zacker
Summary
The council voted to deny an operator license for Cassandra Zacker during a reconvened open session, citing a pending third DUI and uncertainty about the outcome; council members said reapplication may be possible depending on the court result and time limits were unclear.
The council voted to deny an operator license for Cassandra Zacker during its reconvened open session, saying the pending third DUI made granting a license inappropriate.
The motion “to deny” the license was offered by Druzuki, seconded by Kastner, and passed after members voiced assent. Council members said there was a strong reluctance to issue a license while the applicant faces a third DUI charge; they discussed that a court disposition could affect future eligibility but did not cite a local ordinance or state statute that governed the decision.
Council members and staff discussed whether Zacker could reapply and mentioned a six-month time frame, but speakers said they were not certain of that period and that the ongoing court case likely would not be resolved by then. The council noted that if Zacker is not convicted she might have the opportunity to reapply, but they did not set a clear deadline or condition for reapplication during the meeting.
No formal statutory citation or written policy was provided in the discussion, and the council did not identify any specific licensing code during the remarks. After the vote, the council closed the item and proceeded to adjourn.
The applicant was present during the discussion; no fines, penalties, or further administrative directions were recorded on the meeting transcript.
