Summary
The Fond du Lac City Council unanimously denied a Class B liquor license for Oksana Axe LLC after City Attorney Deb Hoffman said the applicant has a felony conviction that disqualifies them under state law; the Alcohol Licensing Committee had recommended denial.
The Fond du Lac City Council voted unanimously on Jan. 14 to deny a Class B intoxicating liquor and Class B fermented malt beverage license for Oksana Axe LLC, agent Alexandra Christian.
City Attorney Deb Hoffman explained to the council that the applicant has a felony conviction and that "state law prohibits him from having a liquor license," and the Alcohol Licensing Committee recommended denial. Hoffman told the council her office recommended denial and offered to answer questions.
Council member Mr. Heisler moved to deny the license and Mr. Mullen seconded the motion; the council proceeded to a voice vote and the motion "passed unanimously." The council recorded the denial with a unanimous vote of six in favor of denial.
The application listed the agent as Alexandra Christian and gave the business address as 25 North Main Street and an agent address of 265 East 9th Street. The council did not discuss alternative remedies or appeal processes during the meeting; Hoffman and the council noted the decision stemmed from a statutory restriction tied to the applicant's criminal conviction.
