The City of Waukesha's Ordinance and License Committee convened on September 8, 2025, to discuss several key matters, including the approval of a bartender's license application and a temporary class B license for an upcoming event.

The most significant discussion centered around the bartender's license application for Megan Blochstorf. Concerns were raised regarding her recent sobriety and past record, prompting committee members to seek assurances about her ability to perform her duties responsibly. Dylan Knight, the owner of Travieso, where Blochstorf is employed, expressed confidence in her progress and commitment to sobriety. He noted that she would always work under supervision, adhering to a strict no-tolerance policy for substance use.

Committee members acknowledged the seriousness of Blochstorf's past but recognized her long history of responsible bartending without any misconduct. After deliberation, the committee unanimously approved her application, with a recommendation for her to attend the next council meeting to address any potential concerns from other council members.

In addition to the bartender's license, the committee also approved a temporary class B license for the Woktober beer and wine walk, with no concerns raised from the clerk's office. Furthermore, a renewal application for the Park Place mobile home park license was also unanimously approved.

The committee's decisions reflect a balance between supporting individuals in recovery and ensuring public safety and compliance with local regulations. The next council meeting is scheduled for September 16, 2025, where Blochstorf's application will be included on the consent agenda.
