Brownsville board approves 2025–26 liquor and cigarette licenses, audits $95,521.85 in bills and transfers $25,000 for crack filling
Summary
The Village of Brownsville board approved alcohol and cigarette licenses for the 2025–26 license year, audited and approved $95,521.85 in bills, and authorized a $25,000 transfer from the NEB Street Repair Fund to the NEB General Fund to pay for crack filling.
The Village of Brownsville Board on June 11 approved a slate of business licenses for the July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026 license year and audited municipal bills totaling $95,521.85.
President Timothy Kemmel presided over the meeting. Trustees voted 5–0 to grant a Class A Beer and Class A Liquor license and a cigarette license to Golden Lomira LLC (agent Parveen Bhardwaj); to approve a Combination Class B Beer and Class B Liquor license for Jake's Village Bowl (agent Jake Boelk); a Class A Beer license for Hoff's United Foods (agent Timothy Hoff); a Class B Beer license for the Brownsville Athletic Association (agent Ric Bloohm); and a Combination Class B Beer and Class B Liquor license for The Gem Establishment LLC (agent Julie Kuehl). The motion to approve the licenses carried on a voice/roll-call vote.
The board also audited and approved general government and utility checks numbered 31212 through 31243 totaling $95,521.85. The minutes list several notable checks: Marrero Armor LLC for $1,130.00 to replace expired body armor for the marshal (#31215); USA Blue Book for $4,138.88 for membranes and treatment-plant supplies (#31224); Cargill Inc. for $6,995.25 for 51,000 pounds of bulk salt for the water treatment plant (#31230); and a $25,000 payment to Crack Filling Service Group for crack filling services performed May 11, 2025 (#31233).
To cover the crack-filling expense, Trustees approved a separate motion (Henke moved; Westphal seconded) to transfer $25,000 from the NEB Street Repair Fund to the NEB General Fund; the transfer passed 5–0. The board then moved to adjourn; the meeting ended at 6:20 p.m.
Why it matters: Licenses allow local businesses to operate under the village’s regulatory framework, and the approved bills and fund transfer allocate taxpayer dollars for public-safety equipment, treatment-plant supplies and street maintenance. The transfer of funds ensures the village can pay for crack-filling work already invoiced.
