Council approves four liquor-license renewals; one cultural slot remains available
Summary
The council approved renewals for four liquor licenses — two restaurants and two cultural venues — after staff reported the city has 12 total licenses with one cultural-experience slot still open.
The Madison common council approved four liquor-license renewals on May 19 following a staff report from Emily McKenna.
McKenna told the council that last year the city added two licenses to bring the total to 12 and that up to five licenses may be reserved for "cultural experience" venues; at present four of the cultural slots are taken and one remains available. She said two restaurant slots are currently in use and three restaurant slots remain available.
The four applications presented for renewal were identified in the meeting record as the Ohio Theater, Red Bicycle (cultural experience), Red Pepperoni (listed in the renewal motion) and Rivertown Grill. McKenna said all four applicants had met the financial requirements for renewal and that the economic and redevelopment department and the mayor’s office had reviewed the applications.
A council member moved to approve the renewals and another seconded; the council approved the motion by voice vote.
The action maintains the current count of issued licenses and keeps one cultural-experience license slot open for future applicants.
