West Allis committees approve West Mitchell street bid, water-service assessments and Bourbon Bar license

The West Allis Public Works and Public Safety committees approved several routine actions, including awarding a street-construction contract, levying special assessments for private-side water service replacements and approving liquor-license actions for Bourbon Bar and Grill.

Committee members voted to approve Resolution 2026-3208 to accept the low bid from Lain Contractors Incorporated for street reconstruction on West Mitchell Street from South 56th Street to South 60th Street. The dollar amount recorded in the transcript was “3,954,9218” (the number in the record appears garbled and is flagged as uncertain). The motion to approve was moved and seconded and carried on a voice vote.

The panel also adopted Resolution 2026-3096, a final resolution authorizing replacement of private side water service laterals in various locations and levying special assessments against the benefited properties. That item likewise passed on a voice vote.

Separately, the Public Safety Committee handled two liquor-license items for Bourbon Bar and Grill, 6300 West Lincoln Avenue. Item 26 approved a change of agent naming Amalia Gdoy Barios as the new agent, contingent on providing corrected contact and application information to the city clerk. Item 27, the tavern and public-entertainment-license renewal, was then approved based on the change of agent. After the vote, Amalia Gdoy Barios thanked the committee, saying the license matters were "for my dad." (Quotation attributed to Amalia Gdoy Barios.)

What happens next: Staff will process the contract paperwork and the clerk’s office will confirm the corrected agent contact information for Bourbon Bar and Grill before concluding administrative steps on the license. No further committee action was recorded on these items during the meeting.
