Summary

The Waukesha City Ordinance and Licensing Committee unanimously approved sidewalk café permits and extensions of premises for seven businesses during a May 20 special session; staff will follow up about a possible Aug. 8 event date listed on several applications.

The Waukesha City Ordinance and Licensing Committee on May 20 approved sidewalk-café permits and extensions of premises for seven downtown businesses, voting unanimously during a special session that lasted about three minutes.

Committee member Alderson Halvinslaven moved to approve permits for BB's on Main (extension of premises), Idyllic Bubble Tea House (sidewalk café), Magellan's 370 LLC (extension of premises), Travieso (sidewalk café), Nia's (extension of premises), Salty Toad (sidewalk café and extension of premises) and Spring City Winehouse (sidewalk café). "I will make the motion to approve the permits for BB's on Main, extension of premises, Idyllic Bubble Tea House sidewalk cafe, Magellan's 370 LLC, extension of premises, Travieso sidewalk cafe, Nia's extension of premises, Salty Toad sidewalk cafe, and Spring City Winehouse Sidewalk Cafe," Halvinslaven said. Committee member Alderson Manion seconded the motion.

The committee chair called for a vote and said the motion passed unanimously. The transcript records that all committee members were present except for Dean Lemke and that the meeting concluded in roughly three minutes.

Committee members and staff noted a potential mismatch in several applications listing "Friday Night Live" on Aug. 8. Halvinslaven said she and another member (identified in the record as Dan) verified the date and suggested staff contact the businesses to confirm whether an additional amendment will be required to cover that date. The record shows no formal amendment was made at the meeting; instead, members suggested outreach to applicants if they need coverage for Aug. 8.

No public comment, legal citations, or detailed vote tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript. The approvals are recorded as committee action; the transcript does not specify any conditions attached to the permits nor the precise roll-call vote count.

The committee adjourned shortly after the vote.
