Wheatland City Council approves grouped renewals of local liquor licenses
Summary
The Wheatland City Council reconvened for a public hearing and approved grouped renewals for microbrewery, bar-and-grill, retail, club and restaurant liquor-license categories after hearing no public opposition; a brief sales-tax question was raised and noted as remediated.
The Wheatland City Council reconvened for a public hearing on renewal of liquor licenses and approved grouped renewals for several categories after no members of the public spoke for or against the applications. Unidentified Speaker 2 opened the hearing and handled each grouping by motion and voice vote.
The approvals covered five groupings. For the microbrewery category, Unidentified Speaker 2 asked, “Is there anybody here to speak for or against the renewal of the microbrewery grouping to include Windy Pete's Brewery and Steakhouse?” No public speakers came forward; a motion to approve was moved and seconded and the council recorded the motion as carried. The council then approved the bar-and-grill grouping (naming Windy Peaks Brewery and Steakhouse and Skipper's Lounge), the retail group (listing Landmark Bar; Bimbo's Restaurant and Bar; Commodores Bar; I 25 Liquor; Safeway; Thrifty Foods; Big Dogs Lanes; and Guadalajara), and the club grouping (the Moose Lodge and the Wheatland Golf Club) by the same process.
When the council took up the restaurant-category renewals (Los Dominguez; Tasty Treats; Brooklyn's Tavern; and Spaghetti West), Unidentified Speaker 1 asked, “Are you talking about the sales tax?” Unidentified Speaker 2 and others replied that the sales-tax issue was an apparent oversight by a new business, that staff had followed up, and that the matter had been remediated. Unidentified Speaker 2 then called for a vote and stated, “Motion carries.” The transcript does not record names of movers or seconders for the motions nor individual vote tallies.
The council made no formal record of any public opposition during the hearing. The meeting concluded with an announcement that the next regularly scheduled meeting would be Monday, March 9 at 07:00.
The record preserves the business names as spoken during the hearing; the transcript contains minor inconsistent renderings of some business names (for example, variants such as "Windy Pete's" and "Windy Peaks," and "Wheatley Beach" in different places). The council minutes or licensing office should be consulted to confirm the official, recorded business names and the detailed vote tallies.
