Licenses approved included a Class B fermented malt beverage and Class C wine license application for RST Mexican Bar & Restaurant at 212 South Seventh Street, subject to payment of city invoices and a successful building inspection, and a temporary fermented malt beverage license for Saint Andrews congregation for Fiesta Mexicana on Sept. 13, 2025.

What to know about contract details and compliance: Council members asked staff to correct the contract typos that incorrectly referred to a different municipality (Whitewater) before finalizing the interim building and zoning services contract. Most motions passed by voice vote or roll call as recorded in the meeting minutes; the meeting record shows vote tallies for several items.
