The Common Council approved final revisions to the city's rooming-house licensing rules (section 17.1) at third reading to align inspection and operational language with current practice.

The Waukesha Common Council on Tuesday approved revisions to section 17.1 of the city code governing rooming-house licensing.

The changes were introduced at a prior meeting and described by the planning commission representative as cleanup and clarifications to reflect current inspection and licensing practice. The item was on its third reading and available in the council packet.

Alderman Moulton moved to approve the revisions "to section 17.1 as presented." The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
