Summary

Council denied an operator's license application after police presented background findings including an undisclosed THC possession citation and other convictions; the lieutenant said omissions and prior convictions led to a recommendation to deny and the council voted to deny the license.

The Mayville common council voted to deny an operator's (bartender) license application following a public‑safety review of the applicant’s background.

Public‑safety staff summarized a comprehensive background check and said the applicant had failed to disclose relevant incidents on the application. The police lieutenant stated the record included a THC possession citation within the past five years and earlier convictions related to sex‑offender registration requirements. The lieutenant said those factors and a pattern of conduct led to the department’s recommendation to deny the application.

The applicant was offered an opportunity to respond on the record and declined further comment. Councilmember motioned to deny the license; by voice the council recorded the motion as carried.

Transcript notes indicate the denial was based on information provided by police; the council recorded the denial motion and no additional administrative appeals were settled during the meeting.
