Judiciary and Law Enforcement Committee Meeting, June 3, 2026

The Kenosha County Judiciary and Law Enforcement Committee met on June 3, 2026, to discuss several licensing and event-related matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a probationary cabaret license for Red Oak Restaurant, confirming compliance with local ordinances and verifying their existing liquor license. Additionally, the committee reviewed and approved the activity license for the Country Thunder festival, which included a $370,000 bond to cover county costs such as law enforcement, health department testing, and highway signage. The bond amount was increased from the previous year to accommodate deputy sheriff contract raises. The committee also discussed law enforcement resource allocation for the event and confirmed no reductions in security personnel despite a projected lower attendance than the event's cap. Motions to approve both licenses were passed unanimously, ensuring continued oversight and funding for public safety and regulatory compliance at these venues and events.
