Police report details multiple liquor-establishment issues; correction meetings planned

At the Oct. 13 Protection Policy Committee meeting, the Green Bay Police Department presented an informational report on liquor- and massage-establishment complaints and enforcement between Sept. 18 and Oct. 9.

The department reported the following items in the packet and verbally:

- An incident at 100 South Broadway (A Hundred South Broadway / Bar and Grill) where the owner was cited for violating a stipulation agreement; officers followed up after a tavern check and a separate bar check found a bartender working without a copy of an operator’s license. The department said it has held a correction meeting with all parties and is conducting further follow-up.

- Repeated issues at 631 Bellevue Street (identified as an establishment previously called the Getaway Bar and with a new owner), including citations for allowing unlicensed persons to bartend, warnings for stipulation violations, and multiple calls for service; police said they will request a correction meeting to address persistent problems.

- An arrest on Sept. 30 at 201 North Washington for disorderly conduct and suspected controlled substances.

- A Sept. 19 bar check and a subsequent Sept. 30 follow-up at other locations that resulted in warnings and property referrals; police said correction meetings and the ordinance process are being used to try to resolve recurring problems.

Police told the committee they give property owners and license-holders the opportunity to attend correction meetings so all parties understand required steps; if problems persist, the city ordinance provides additional remedies.

The police representative told committee members that some calls recorded in city parcel data reflect officer contacts for outreach rather than active incidents. Committee members noted district-level concern about repeated contacts at specific addresses; the police representative said the department is actively monitoring and pursuing correction meetings.
