Council approves liquor license and two resolutions; consent agenda accepted
Summary
The Fond du Lac City Council unanimously approved the consent agenda, a Class B fermented malt license for Annie's Fountain City Catering LLC at the county campus, a North Main Corridor resolution (Res. 9165), and a final resolution approving taxable industrial revenue bond financing (Res. 9166).
The Fond du Lac City Council approved several routine and development-related items on Feb. 12, voting unanimously to adopt the consent agenda and to approve a catering beer license and two resolutions.
Key outcomes at a glance:
- Consent agenda approved (items: January minutes and list of claims dated Feb. 5, 2025). Motion by Councilmember Mullin; second by Councilmember Godfrey. Passed unanimously.
- Liquor license: Motion to approve a Class B fermented malt license for Annie's Fountain City Catering LLC, agent Anne Sauble, at 400 University Drive (Fond du Lac County campus). Motion by Councilmember Godfrey; second by Councilmember Heisler. City staff and the alcohol-license committee recommended approval after background checks. Passed unanimously.
- Resolution 9165: Final approval of the North Main Corridor plan and residential and mixed-use development for the Saputo site (corner of Main and Scott). Introduced by City Manager Moore; motion by Councilmember Schisler; second by Councilmember Heisler. Passed unanimously.
- Resolution 9166: Final resolution regarding taxable industrial development revenue bond financing for 1125 East Johnson, LLC and N 6000 663 Rolling Meadows, LLC (project described as Johnson Crossing/Festival Foods redevelopment). Introduced by Community Development Director Benson; motion by Councilmember Mullen; second by Councilmember Heisler. Staff explained the city serves as a conduit for the industrial revenue bond and that the financing places no liability on the city. Passed unanimously.
Why it matters: The liquor license permits on-site beer sales for the county-designated concessionaire at the county campus; the North Main Corridor resolution memorializes a prior November policy conversation to guide redevelopment of a downtown parcel; the industrial revenue bond resolution supports private redevelopment and job creation while using a conduit financing mechanism described by staff as carrying no city liability.
Votes and procedure: All four items were adopted by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript excerpt; motions and seconders were recorded as noted above.
Ending: No appeals or requests for reconsideration were made immediately after the votes; several items in the meeting remained as input items to return for ordinance drafting.
