1. Recommendation on license list:

B. Recommended Rejection

Ald. Stroik noted the email from Ms. Kayon in the packet and the Police Department recommendation for rejection due to her recent OWI conviction.
Ald. Brooks moved, Ald. Heart seconded, to reject an operator's license for Melissa Kayon. Ayes, all; nays, none; motion carried.

C. Transfer of "Class B" Combination License from JJ Sondo's, LLC, 3406 Carter Avenue, Schofield, WI to Randal T. Woyak, LLC, Randal T. Woyak, Agent, 3425 Church Street, Stevens Point, WI at Blue Top Family Restaurant and Rookies Sports Pub, 3425 Church Street, Stevens Point, WI.

City Attorney Molepske said we originally thought it was going to be a transfer but it turned out to be a surrender. We received the surrender letter from Mr. Sondelski and we have an application from Mr. Woyak for the license. It is listed on the agenda as a transfer, but the same rules apply for a renewal. If the Police Department does not have a problem and the application has already been advertised, the Committee can proceed with the request.

Ald. Trzebiatowski asked if the license can be surrendered at this time since there are outstanding debts.

City Attorney Molepske stated in this circumstance it can.

Ald. Trzebiatowski said his concern is that the bills are part of the original premise and would follow the license.

City Attorney Molepske said they would if it was a transfer. However, that is not the case here. The license has been surrendered and now it is up this Committee and the Council to decide what to do with the license.

Ald. Stroik asked if the Police Department had a recommendation.

Capt. Dowling said they have no recommendation at this time.

Ald. Stroik moved, Ald. Brooks seconded, to take no action on this matter tonight and to pull it to the Council floor for consideration pending a Police Department report. Ayes, all; nays, none; motion carried.

2. Request of the Point 150 Celebration Committee for Street Closings on Saturday, May 17, 2008 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for the Stevens Point Birthday Celebration Parade.
