The following is a concise list of formal votes taken by the Waukesha Common Council on Aug. 19, 2025. Where the transcript provided explicit tallies, those numbers are shown; where the transcript recorded only that an item passed unanimously or passed/failed without a tally, that is noted.

- Bartender/operator license for Gregory Kasprzak (denial due to felony conviction noted under state law): Motion to deny the license passed (vote recorded in transcript as carried; transcript advises state law bars felons from obtaining license; explicit tally not recorded audibly).
Notes: Many motions in the transcript were recorded as “passed unanimously” without an explicit numeric roll-call count; in those cases the transcript did not provide exact tallies. Where specific counts were spoken during the meeting (for example, the Von Briesen waiver 7–8 and Carter Bell 12–3), those counts are recorded here.
