Common Council unanimously approves recommendation to renew liquor and beer licenses

The presiding officer of the Green Bay Common Council on Thursday called the June 18, 2026 meeting to order and, after a brief roll call, the council approved a Protection and Policy Committee recommendation to renew a list of liquor and beer license applications for the license year listed in the record as "2627."

The motion to approve the recommendation was made by Alder de Lee and seconded by Alder Hutchison. After a voice vote with multiple members saying "aye," the presiding officer said, "The ayes have it," and recorded the item as approved. The council subsequently moved to adjourn; the motion to adjourn, made by Alder Hutchison and seconded by Alder Ritterbush, carried by voice vote.

The meeting record shows the council noted a quorum of 10 voting members, with three members physically present and seven participating remotely. The transcript lists the license year as "2627"; the council materials referenced in the motion were not read into the record during the audio captured in the transcript and no individual licensees or paperwork details were named aloud during the meeting.

No public comment or substantive debate on individual applications is recorded in the transcript. The actions in the meeting were procedural: approval of the agenda, approval of the committee recommendation on license renewals, and adjournment. The council completed its business and closed the meeting.
