RE: Approval of Combination "Class B" License Transfer to H2 Oil, 1810 Omro
Road (Robbins Restaurant)
BACKGROUND
In recent months, there has been discussion between Council and staff that inactive licenses
could be returned to the City, creating a pool of available licenses, to promote development
in the community. At the March 13, 2018 Council Meeting, three open licenses were issued
to establishments that presented business plans that would utilize the Combination Class
"B" Licenses within a short timeframe after paperwork was finalized and/or final
inspections were completed.

ANALYSIS
As a result of Council's discussion, Clerk staff has maintained a file of the various
establishments that have closed their business over the last several years. The following
information pertains to Robbins Restaurant (Wallace Wagner) located at 1810 Omro Road:
July 1, 2016
Business Closed
March 22, 2017
Letter from Robbin's Restaurant to Council on status of license
May 23, 2017
Wallace Wagner appeared before Council; Council granted license
renewal July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 (Resolution 17-270 —
Approved 7-0)
May 7, 2018
License Transfer Application filed / H2 Oil, Steve Hoopman
Council's direction was to recall these unused licenses as well as other licenses that are
soon to be past their one year of inactivity. The idea is to create an inventory of unused
licenses for economic development projects that may require a liquor license.
RECOMMENDATION
City Clerk recommends the Common Council deny the transfer of this license at this time
and encourage the applicant when he is at the stage to actively use the license, to make
application at which time it will be submitted to Council.
