The City Administrator shall notify the Chief
of Police, Fire Inspector and Building Inspector of each new application,
and these officials shall inspect or cause to be inspected each application
and the premises, together with such other investigation as shall
be necessary to determine whether the applicant and the premises sought
to be licensed comply with the regulations, ordinances and laws applicable
thereto and whether the applicant is a proper recipient of a license.
These officials shall furnish to the City Administrator in writing,
who shall forward to the City Council, the information derived from
such investigation, accompanied by a recommendation as to whether
a license should be granted or refused. No license shall be renewed

sanitary toilet and lavatory facilities equipped with running water

C. Consideration for the granting or denial of a license
will be based on:
(1) Arrest and conviction record of the applicant, subject
to the limitations imposed by §§ 111.321, 111.322,

(2) The financial responsibility of the applicant;
(3) The appropriateness of the location and the premises
where the licensed business is to be conducted; and
(4) Generally, the applicant's fitness for the trust to
be reposed.
D. An application may be denied based upon the applicant's
arrest and conviction record if the applicant has been convicted of
a felony (unless duly pardoned) or if the applicant has habitually
been a law offender. For purposes of this licensing procedure, "habitually
been a law offender" is generally considered to be an arrest or conviction
of at least two offenses which are substantially related to the licensed
activity within the five years immediately preceding the license application.
Because a license is a privilege, the issuance of which is a right
granted solely to the City Council, the City Council reserves the
right to consider the severity and facts and circumstances of the
offense when making the determination to grant, deny or not renew
a license. Further, the Council, at its discretion, may, based upon
an arrest or conviction record of two or more offenses which are substantially
related to the licensed activity within the five years immediately
preceding, act to suspend such license for a period of one year or
more.
A. Opportunity shall be given by the governing body to
any person to be heard for or against the granting of any license.
Upon the approval of the applicant by the City Council, the City Administrator
shall issue to the applicant a license, upon payment by the applicant
of the license fee to the City.
B. If the City Council denies the license, the applicant
shall be notified in writing, by certified mail or personal service,
of the reasons for the denial. The notice shall also inform the applicant
of the opportunity to appear before the City Council and to provide
evidence as to why the denial should be reversed. In addition, the
notice shall inform the applicant that the reconsideration of the
application shall be held in closed session, pursuant to § 19.85(1)(b),
Wis. Stats., unless the applicant requests that such reconsideration
be held in open session and the City Council consents to the request.
Such written notice shall be mailed or served upon the applicant at
least 10 days prior to the City Council meeting at which the application
is to be reconsidered.
A. Procedure. In accordance with the provisions of § 125.04(12),
Wis. Stats., a license shall be transferable from one premises to
another if such transfer is first approved by the City Council. An
application for transfer shall be made on a form furnished by the
City Administrator. Transfers shall be authorized only in the event
that the place or premises so licensed is permanently changed to another
location within the City. Proceedings for such transfer shall be had
in the same form and manner as the original application. The fee for
such transfer is set by the City Council. Whenever a license is transferred, the City Administrator
shall forthwith notify the Wisconsin Department of Revenue of such
transfer. In the event of the sale of a business or business premises
of the licensee, the purchaser of such business or business premises
must apply to the City for reissuance of said license, and the City,
as the licensing authority, shall in no way be bound to reissue said
license to said subsequent purchaser.
B. Change of agent. Whenever the agent of a corporate
holder of a license is for any reason replaced, the licensee shall
give the City Administrator written notice of said replacement, the
reasons therefor and the new appointment. Until the next regular meeting
or special meeting of the City Council, the successor agent shall
have the authority to perform the functions and be charged with the
duties of the original agent. However, said license shall cease to
be in effect upon receipt by the City Administrator of notice of disapproval
of the successor agent by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue or other
peace officer of the municipality in which the license was issued.
The corporation's license shall not be in force after receipt of such
notice or after a regular or special meeting of the City Council until
the successor agent or another qualified agent is appointed and approved
by the City.
All licenses shall be numbered in the order
in which they are issued and shall state clearly the specific premises
for which granted, the date of issuance, the fee paid and the name
of the licensee. The City Administrator shall submit to the State
of Wisconsin the list of licenses as required by § 125.04(4),
Wis. Stats.

of this article shall immediately post such license and keep the same
posted while in force in a conspicuous place in the room or place

II of this chapter, proceedings for the revocation of such license may be instituted in the manner and under the procedure established by this section.
B. Abandonment of premises. Any licensee holding a license
to sell alcohol beverages who abandons such business shall forfeit
any right or preference he/she may have to the holding of or renewal
of such license. Abandonment shall be sufficient grounds for revocation
of any alcohol beverage license. The closing of the licensed premises
for at least six months shall be prima facie evidence of the abandonment,
unless extended by the City Council for up to six months or the premises
is used occasionally by a business providing on-premises catering
or special event facilities. All persons issued a license to sell
alcohol beverages in the City for which a quota exists limiting the
number of such licenses that may be issued by the City shall cause
such business described in such license to be operated on the premises

notices shall be filed with the Police Department during normal working
hours (8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday) and shall be
given on forms prescribed by the Department. After a nonalcohol event
notice has been given, the licensee may cancel an event(s) only by
giving like notice to the Department in accordance with the provisions
of this subsection. Regardless of the date given, all notices shall
expire and be deemed cancelled no later than the date of expiration

B. During the period of any nonalcohol event, a notice
card prescribed by the Police Department shall be posted at all public
entrances to the licensed premises notifying the general public that
no alcohol beverages may be consumed, sold or given away on or carried
into the licensed premises during the event. Such notice cards shall
be made available by the Department to a requesting licensee.
C. Once a nonalcohol event has commenced, no alcohol

A. Purpose. The City Council finds that restrictions

No licensee shall permit the consumption of alcohol beverages on any
part of the licensed premises not enclosed within the building, except

upon a licensee's showing of exigent circumstances. The application

for review of the application. The applicant may request that an annual permit be issued
for the beer garden or outdoor sports activities.
E. Review. The City Council shall review the applications
in light of the standards of this section. If the nature of the property
or the event requires the imposition of additional regulations, the
City Council may impose these regulations upon an express finding
detailing the reasons for additional regulation. All property owners
within 150 feet of the proposed beer garden or outside sports facility
shall be notified of the pendency of application for a permit by first-class
mail.
F. Outdoor sports activity standards. The following standards

the activity or event.
(7) The licensee shall not permit the noise level of the
sports activity or event to exceed 75 dB, measured at any border of
the licensee's real property.
G. Limitations on issuance of beer garden permits.
(1) No permit shall be issued for a beer garden if any
part of the beer garden is within 100 feet of a structure used for
residential purposes, except residential uses located in the same
structure as the licensed premises.
(2) No permit shall be issued for a beer garden if the
beer garden area is greater than 50% of the gross floor area of the
adjoining licensed premises. Each applicant for a beer garden permit
shall accurately describe the area intended for use as a beer garden

H. State statutes enforced within beer garden. Every
permittee under this section shall comply with and enforce all provisions
of Ch. 125, Wis. Stats., applicable to Class "B" licensed premises,
except insofar as such provisions are clearly inapplicable. Violation
of the provisions of Ch. 125, Wis. Stats., shall be grounds for immediate
revocation of the outdoor sports activity or beer garden permit by
the City Council.

any of the provisions of this section shall be grounds for suspension,
nonrenewal or revocation of the licensee's alcohol beverage license

See Chapter
175, Adult Uses and Sexually Explicit Conduct, of this Code.
A. Operator's license required.
(1) Class "A" or Class "B" premises. Except as provided
under §§ 125.32(3)(b) and 125.07(3)(a)10, Wis. Stats.,
no premises operated under a Class "A" or Class "B" license or permit
may be open for business unless there is upon the premises the licensee
or permittee, the agent named in the license or permit if the licensee
or permittee is a corporation, or some person who has an operator's
license and who is responsible for the acts of all persons serving
any fermented malt beverages to customers. An operator's license issued
in respect to a vessel under § 125.27(2), Wis. Stats., is
valid outside the municipality that issues it. For the purpose of
this section, any person holding a manager's license under § 125.18,
Wis. Stats., or any member of the licensee's or permittee's immediate
family who has attained the age of 18, shall be considered the holder
of an operator's license. No person, including a member of the licensee's
or permittee's immediate family, other than the licensee, permittee
or agent may serve fermented malt beverages in any place operated
under a Class "A" or Class "B" license or permit unless he or she
has an operator's license or is at least 18 years of age and is under
the immediate supervision of the licensee, permittee, agent or a person
holding an operator's license who is on the premises at the time of
the service.
(2) Use by another prohibited.
(a)
No person may allow another to use his or her
Class "A" or Class "B" license or permit to sell alcohol beverages.
(b)
The license or permit of a person who violates Subsection
A(2)(a) above shall be revoked.
B. Procedure upon application.
(1) The City Council may issue an operator's license,
which license shall be granted only upon application in writing on
forms to be obtained from the City Administrator only to persons 18
years of age or older. An operator's license shall be operative only
within the limits of the City.
(2) When directed by the City Council, all applications
may be subject to an investigation by the Chief of Police and/or other
appropriate authority to determine whether the applicant to be licensed
complies with all regulations, ordinances and laws applicable thereto.
If so directed by the City Council, the Police Department shall conduct
an investigation of the applicant, including but not limited to requesting
information from the state, surrounding municipalities, and/or any
community where the applicant has previously resided concerning the
applicant's arrest and conviction record. Based upon such investigation,
the Chief of Police shall recommend, in writing, to the City Council
a minimum of 48 hours prior to the Council's meeting approval or denial
of the application. If the Chief of Police recommends denial, the
Chief of Police shall provide, in writing, the reasons for such recommendation.
C. Duration. A standard operator's license issued under
the provisions of this section shall be valid for a period of one
year and shall expire on the 30th day of June.
D. Operator's license fee; provisional license.
(1) Fee. The fee for a standard operator's license shall
be set by the City Council. The fee for a provisional operator's license
shall be set by the City Council.
(2) Provisional license. The City Administrator may issue a provisional operator's license in accordance with § 125.17(5), Wis. Stats. The provisional operator's license shall expire 60 days after its issuance or when an operator's license is issued to the holder, whichever is sooner. The City Administrator may, upon receiving an application for a temporary provisional license, issue such a license without requiring the successful completion of the approved program as described herein. However, such temporary license shall be used only for the purpose of allowing such applicant the privilege of being licensed as a beverage operator pending his/her successful completion of the approved program. A provisional license may not be issued to any person who has been denied an operator's license by the City or who has had his/her operator's license revoked or suspended within the preceding 12 months. The City Administrator shall provide an appropriate application form to be completed in full by the applicant. The investigation procedures of Subsection
B shall be followed. The City Administrator may revoke the provisional license issued if he/she discovers that the holder of the license made a false statement on the application. Following completion of the responsible beverage server training course and notification from the school, the license application will be presented to the Council, with the appropriate fee as prescribed in Subsection
D(1) above for an operator's license. If approved by the Council, the operator's license is issued.
[Amended 7-9-2010 by Ord.
No. 2010-02]
E. Issuance or denial of operator's license.
(1) After City Council approval of an application for
an operator's license, the City Administrator shall issue the license.
Such licenses shall be issued and numbered in the order they are granted
and shall give the applicant's name and address and the date of the
expiration of such license.
(2) Denial of application.
(a)
If the application is denied, the City Administrator
shall, in writing, inform the applicant of the denial, the reasons
therefor, and of the opportunity to request a reconsideration of the
application by the City Council in a closed session. Such notice must
be sent by registered mail to, or served upon, the applicant at least
10 days prior to the Council's review of the matter. At such reconsideration
hearing, the applicant may present evidence and testimony as to why
the license should be granted.
(b)
If, upon reconsideration, the Council denies
the application, the City Administrator shall notify the applicant
in writing of the reasons therefor. An applicant who is denied any
license upon reconsideration of the matter may apply to the Circuit
Court pursuant to § 125.12(2)(d), Wis. Stats., for review.
(3) Considerations.
(a)
Consideration for the granting or denial of
a license will be based on:
[1]
Arrest and conviction record of the applicant,
subject to the limitations imposed by §§ 111.321, 111.322,
and 111.335, Wis. Stats.;
[2]
The financial responsibility of the applicant;
and
[3]
Generally, the applicant's fitness for the trust
to be reposed.
(b)
If a licensee is convicted of an offense substantially
related to the licensed activity, the City Council may act to revoke
or suspend the license.
(4) An application may be denied based upon the applicant’s
arrest and conviction record if the applicant has been convicted of
a felony (unless duly pardoned) or if the applicant has habitually
been a law offender. For purposes of this licensing procedure, “habitually
been a law offender” is generally considered to be an arrest
or conviction of at least two offenses which are substantially related
to the licensed activity. Because a license is a privilege, the issuance
of which is a right granted solely to the City Council, the City Council
reserves the right to consider the severity and facts and circumstances
of the offense when making the determination to grant, deny or not
renew a license. Further, the City Council, at its discretion, may,
based upon an arrest or conviction record of two or more offenses
which are substantially related to the licensed activity, act to suspend
such license for a period of one year or more.
[Amended 1-17-2011 by Ord. No. 2011-1]
F. Training course.
(1) Except as provided in Subsection
F(2) below, the City Council may not issue an operator's license unless the applicant has successfully completed a responsible beverage server training course at any location that is offered by a technical college district and that conforms to curriculum guidelines specified by the Technical College System Board or a comparable training course that is approved by the Department of Revenue or the Educational Approval Board, or unless the applicant fulfills one of the following requirements:
[Amended 7-9-2010 by Ord.
No. 2010-02]
(a)
The person is renewing an operator's license.
(b)
Within the past two years, the person held a
Class "A," Class "B," "Class A," "Class B" or "Class C" license or
permit or a manager's or operator's license.
(c)
Within the past two years, the person has completed
such a training course.
(2) The City Administrator may issue a provisional operator's license to a person who is enrolled in a training course under Subsection
F(1) above and shall revoke that license if the applicant fails successfully to complete the course in which he or she enrolls.
(3) The City Council may not require that applicants for operators' licenses undergo training in addition to that under Subsection
F(1) but may require applicants to purchase, at cost, materials that deal with relevant local subjects not covered in the course under Subsection
F(1).
G. Display of license. Each license issued under the
provisions of this section shall be posted on the premises whenever
the operator dispenses beverages or be in his/her possession, or the
licensee shall carry a license card.
H. Revocation of operator's license. Violation of any
of the terms or provisions of the state law or of this article relating
to operators' licenses by any person holding such operator's license
shall be cause for revocation of the license.
A. Forfeitures for violations of §§ 125.07(1) to (5) and 125.09(2), Wis. Stats., adopted by reference in §
300-1, shall conform to the forfeiture penalty permitted to be imposed for violations of the comparable state statute, including any variations or increases for subsequent offenses.
B. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection
A or where another penalty is prescribed in this article, any person who shall violate any provision of this article or who shall conduct any activity or make any sale for which a license is required without a license shall be subject to a forfeiture as provided in §
1-3 of this Code.
C. Nothing herein shall preclude or affect the power
of the sentencing court to exercise additional authorities granted
by the Wisconsin Statutes.
