Dave Mosier appointed alderperson after council selection and unanimous resolution; council approves special events and temporary beer-garden permits
Summary
The Monroe Common Council selected Dave Mosier in an open 4-3 vote to fill an at-large alder vacancy and then approved a confirming resolution and oath. The council also approved a package of special-event permits and temporary beer-garden licenses, amid questions about open-container enforcement.
The Monroe Common Council selected Dave Mosier to fill an at-large alderperson vacancy and later approved a confirming resolution and oath during its June 2026 meeting.
Council members first cast an open public vote between two applicants; after the clerk summarized the tally as "So I show that Dave wins 4 to 3," the council advanced a formal resolution to appoint the winner. On the subsequent roll-call vote to adopt the resolution, all members present voted aye and the clerk administered the oath. The new alderperson responded, "I will." The appointment fills the seat through April 20, 2027, according to the resolution presented to the council.
The council approved a series of consent and committee resolutions that evening. The Public Safety Committee recommended approval of four special events: Greene County Cheese Days (Sept. 14'0, 2026), a summer festival (June 20 and July 14, 2026) at Northeast Parks, the Greene County Human Services Latino Health Fair (June 2, 2026 at Blackhawk Technical College'Monroe campus), and a fundraiser on June 14, 2026 at 1610 11th Street. The council adopted the committee's resolution authorizing those events.
The council also granted temporary fermented malt beverage licensing tied to the Cheese Days event and approved a temporary extension of the licensed premise for Cactus Company Bar and Grill at 1610 11th Street to allow a roped-off outdoor beer-garden area that uses the sidewalk and three adjacent parking stalls for a special-event fundraiser. Police/staff explained that, while the license designates the beer-garden area, it would be difficult in practice to enforce whether drinks bought elsewhere were carried into the roped-off area; one alder indicated they would vote no on the broader open-container allowance because of enforcement concerns.
The meeting concluded with routine department updates and scheduling notes, then adjourned.
