07/21/2026 - Administration and Economic Development Committees

The City of West Allis Administration and Economic Development Committees met on July 21, 2026, to discuss several licensing and economic development matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the review and approval of new Class B tavern and public entertainment licenses for two businesses: Dwings LLC (Black Rose) and 911 Restaurant and Lounge. The committee approved the license for Dwings LLC with amended operating hours. However, the application for 911 Restaurant and Lounge was met with significant concerns regarding management experience, operational control, and community impact, leading to a recommendation for the applicants to withdraw and reapply with a smaller scope or as a restaurant without alcohol initially. Additionally, the committee approved a resolution authorizing the issuance of up to $10.55 million in bonds for city projects, with parameters set for interest rates and sale conditions. The meeting concluded with motions to proceed to closed session for further items.
