Summary

At its Jan. 13 meeting the Townsend clerk summarized Class B liquor license history and current availability, and the board approved two operator licenses for VanderPlas and Pankow.

The Town of Townsend board on Jan. 13 recorded background information about the town's Class B liquor licenses and approved two operator licenses.

Clerk Linda Ziegler told the board the town is authorized to issue ten Class B liquor licenses; historical changes — including a reserve license granted Aug. 17, 2006, business transfers and surrenders, and fires and demolitions — left available licenses that the town can reissue. Ziegler said she confirmed with the Wisconsin Department of Revenue that licenses are not permanently tied to a premises once surrendered or nonrenewed, and that the Town of Townsend has transferred one Class B license to the Old Town Hall, leaving two regular Class B and one reserve Class B license available.

On permits the board approved two operator licenses: VanderPlas (motion by Chairperson Monica Zeller, second by Willie Evans) and Pankow (motion by Chuck DeMoulin, second by Willie Evans). Those motions were adopted and recorded in the minutes.
