The Omaha City Council approved a package of business licenses, liquor licenses and location-change requests during the Jan. 14 meeting. The items moved largely on the consent calendar or common motion with individual applicants appearing briefly for the record.
Highlights and voting: Approvals included a Class A liquor license for Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen at 17373 Chicago Street (item 6), a Class C license for Cilantro's Mexican Bar and Grill at 3309 Oakview Drive (item 7), a Class C K license for Tippsy Sisters at 4611 South 96th Street (item 8), a license for Transy Nails Wax and Spa at 14615 West Maple Road (item 9), a Class I license for airport concessions at Eppley Airport (item 10), a Class I license for Señor Tequila at 14440 F Street (item 11), a Class D license for Fosse Vape and Liquor at 614–616 S. 72nd Street (item 12) and a location change for Poor Decisions to 4601 Catalyst Court (item 13). Roll-call tallies were recorded on the floor for each item; most motions passed unanimously 7–0 or by the counts announced in the roll call for each item.
Applicants on the record: Applicants or managing partners briefly identified themselves for the record, including Laura Dazley (Cheddar's), David Alegria (Cilantro's), Misty Anderson, Leslie King and Debbie Johnson (Tippsy Sisters), Nok Huynh (Transy Nails Wax and Spa), Mike Lisonbee (airport concessions) and Luis Mata (Señor Tequila). Each applicant provided an address for the record; no opponents appeared during the public hearings for these items.
Why it matters: These routine licensing actions clear the way for businesses to open or continue operating under city regulations. Several applicants noted local hiring and investment plans as part of their remarks to the council.
Votes at a glance: The council recorded roll-call votes on each item during the meeting; the clerk’s roll calls on the record show approvals for items 6–13 and 15–17 and related consent items. Where a tally was announced it was recorded as part of the official roll call on each agenda item.
