Votes at a glance: West Allis council actions on May 20, 2025
The West Allis Common Council took several formal actions on May 20 following committee meetings and public hearings. Below are the key motions and outcomes recorded in the meeting transcript.

• Consent agenda: Council approved the consent agenda by roll call, 9 in favor, 0 opposed.

• Public Works committee items: The committee recommended passing item 6 (ordinance related to public health, sanitation and animals as revised) and adopting item 24 (amending the fee schedule to add a rental fee for the 70 Second Street Pedestrian Plaza). The council recorded a roll‑call vote on the committee report with 9 in favor and 0 opposed; item 24 was adopted as recommended.

• Economic Development committee items: The committee recommended granting item 5; passing items 25 and 26; adopting items 27 and 28; denying item 29; and granting item 30. The council approved items 5, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 30 on a roll call vote (9 in favor, 0 opposed). Item 29 (a new liquor‑license application) was denied; the recorded roll call on that denial was 5 in favor of denial, 4 opposed. Committee and council discussion stated the denial was based on the concentration of existing liquor outlets in close proximity to the proposed site.

• Public Safety committee items: The committee recommended passing item 31 (ordinance creating a local license for cannabidiol/THC‑infused beverages) and adopting item 32 (resolution authorizing temporary annual street closures between South 100 and Eighth Street and 112th Street at W. Theo Trecker Way). The council approved the public safety committee report by roll call (9 in favor, 0 opposed). The THC beverage ordinance was approved by voice vote during the public safety committee and moved forward to the full council for approval.

• Nonrenewal and licensing actions: The council approved a notice of nonrenewal and revocation of a provisional operator (bartender) license for Raoul Collin (item 33). The council later approved routine class A, B and C alcohol license renewals (item 3042025‑3003) by motion and voice vote.

• Street‑closure authorization and related public‑safety measures: Following resident petitions and staff recommendations, council adopted authority for the director of public works to temporarily close specified streets seasonally to address vehicle cruising impacts, with DPW and the aldermen to coordinate placement of barriers and timing.

Several items that had public hearings (for example, the auto‑glass limited‑use amendment and the rezoning request for the 6900 block of West Orchard Street) were presented at the May 20 meeting; planning commission recommendations and staff follow‑up were noted, and several items will return to the council for final ordinance or rezoning action.
