Common Council 7-7-2026

The City of Green Bay Common Council held a meeting on July 7, 2026, which included a detailed quasi-judicial hearing regarding the non-renewal of a Class B liquor license for Jamrock, located at 700 Beaudart Street. The hearing focused on multiple incidents involving the licensee, including a significant altercation in January 2024 where the licensee was seen on video engaging in a physical fight and handling a firearm that discharged. The police department recommended non-renewal based on repeated disturbances, violations of stipulation agreements such as failure to maintain a working ID scanner, and concerns about public safety. The licensee and his attorney contested the allegations, citing compliance efforts and disputing some claims. After extensive discussion and review of evidence, the council voted to deny the appeal and uphold the non-renewal of the liquor license. The meeting also covered routine approvals of committee reports, appointments, and resolutions, but the liquor license issue was the primary procurement-related matter discussed.
