The Waukesha Common Council approved multiple motions and ordinances by unanimous vote during its December meeting. Key outcomes:
- Approval of minutes from Dec. 3, 2024 (unanimous). - Amendment to consulting contract with Hauseel Lagene Associates LLC to add a subdivision-code (chapter 23) rewrite to the existing zoning-code project (unanimous). - Settlement with Ethnos 360 to refund $19,780.01 for disputed tax years; Ethnos 360 waived statutory court costs and attorney fees (unanimous). - Rezoning of approximately 2.35 acres at 909 Blackstone Avenue from M-2 General Manufacturing to MM-1 Mixed Industrial per Plan Commission recommendation (unanimous). - Resolution raising dog and cat license fees by $10 (sterilized: $10→$20; unaltered: $15→$25); estimated additional revenue roughly $44,000 annually (unanimous). - Approval of a class B beer and class C wine license for Skateland after staff confirmed responsible-server (RAST) training certificates (unanimous). - Third reading and approval of amendments to municipal code 7.12 to allow recovery of towing and storage costs where posted signage exists (unanimous). - Recreation and approval of municipal code 8.19 regarding massage-business licensing and enforcement consistent with state preemption (unanimous).
Several items were presented by staff and recommended by committees; where conditions had been placed previously (for example Skateland’s RAST training), staff confirmed compliance before council approval. No recorded roll-call tallies were read into the record beyond unanimous passage.
