Council approves licenses, appointment, easement and wastewater compliance report
Summary
Port Washington’s council approved routine business: consent agenda minutes and invoices, appointment of Dan Becker to the Police and Fire Commission, two alcohol licenses and agents, a successor agent for Dollar General, a We Energies easement in Upper Lake Park, and Resolution 2026-06 certifying the city’s wastewater compliance maintenance report.
At its June 26 meeting the Port Washington Common Council handled a series of routine but formal actions, moving several matters by voice vote.
The council approved the consent agenda (previous meeting minutes and monthly invoice reports). Under mayor’s business the council approved the nomination of Dan Becker, a former alderman and lifelong Port Washington resident, to the Police and Fire Commission.
The council approved staff-recommended original alcohol licenses: a Class C wine and associated cabaret license for Bon Bon Bell LLC (agent Megan Cass) and a Class A beer/liquor/cider license for Adina Lakeside LLC (agent Danielle Conn). The city clerk had reviewed the applications and Acting Police Chief Zarnki reported background checks were completed.
A successor agent request for Dollar General (Dolan Core LLC) also was approved after clerk review and background check. Council members noted these agent and license approvals follow standard practice for retail license transfers and corporate restructurings.
The council approved an easement to We Energies to install underground electric distribution lines in Upper Lake Park to improve electrical service and provide a dedicated line to the wastewater plant; staff said the chosen route avoids planned park improvements.
Finally, council approved Resolution 2026-06 certifying that members had reviewed the city’s Compliance Maintenance Annual Report (CMAR) for the wastewater utility, which staff said scored a 4.0 with “A” ratings across categories. Staff and the council discussed emerging contaminants (PFAS), current sampling of sludge and the need to monitor future permit changes.
All motions passed by voice vote; staff said items requiring more detail (for example Valley Creek financing) would return to committees for additional review before further commitments.
