Minutes note: 12 PLISS, Sean A, Agent for "20 BELOW LLC", Public Entertainment Club License Renewal Application as agent for "SUGAR" at 126 E MINERAL St. (expired 6/30/2011)
Atty. Stephens stated that there is a remand from the Milwaukee County Circuit Court to rehear the 2010 to 2011 license renewal application and the 2011 to 2012 license renewal application. Originally renewed with a suspension, the subsequent Common Council substituted with a motion to nonrew the 2010 to 2011 renewal license. The Circuiy Court ruled that the Council could not make their ruling in this case. The committee was to make recommendations on the two renewal licenses, one from 2010 to 2011 and the other from 2011 to 2012.
