Summary

The Waukesha Ordinance & Licensing Committee approved invited operator licenses for David Dufek, Jessica Patz and Lupita Roque, advanced a package of business-license items including a temporary Class B for the Waukesha Old Car Club, and held an application for Anthony Zukauskas over to the next meeting.

The Waukesha Ordinance & Licensing Committee on March 23 approved multiple operator and business-license applications and recommended those approvals for the Common Council consent agenda.

The committee first considered invited operator (bartender) applications. David Dufek acknowledged a liquor-law violation from about 20 years ago but told the committee he had previously held a bartender’s license. After questions from Ald. Alicia Helvinsleben and others about the age of the offense, Chair moved to approve Dufek’s application; the motion carried unanimously. The chair said the approval will appear on the council consent agenda for the April 9 meeting.

The committee next voted to approve the operator application of Jessica Patz. Jessica’s supervisor, Deborah Myatt, represented her at the hearing and confirmed Patz previously held a Wisconsin bartender license; the clerk’s office noted the responsible beverage server certificate listed as not completed on the application and said the certificate must be submitted before the license is issued. The committee approved the application; it will be placed on the April 9 consent agenda.

Lupita Roque’s application was approved in the applicant’s absence after committee members noted a single offense from eight years earlier. Anthony Zukauskas did not appear and his application was held over due to the recency of a listed offense. One invited applicant with two failed police compliance checks from the last two years was also held over so the person can attend and explain.

Committee members then considered a grouped motion to approve several business-license items: Waukesha Hospitality LLC (extension of premises), Watch Circle (secondhand dealer renewal), Spring City Winehouse LLC (sidewalk café), Waukesha Old Car Club (temporary Class B for its annual car show), and change-of-agent applications for Kwik Trip and Walgreens. The package motion passed unanimously; Chair said these items will be placed on the April 9 Common Council consent agenda.

No public commenters attended the public-comment period, and the meeting adjourned at 06:35.
