RE: Renewal—Uptown Corp for Uptown 2, 1601 Oregon Street
At its May 28, 2019 meeting, the Common Council directed staff to prepare documents for a
renewal of the license for Uptown Corp for Uptown 2 located at 1601 Oregon Street in the City
of Oshkosh.
BACKGROUND
The City Clerk's official records indicate that Uptown 2 closed during July 2018. Uptown 2 is
located at the intersection of Oregon Street and 16th Avenue which intersection was part of the
Oregon Street reconstruction projects in both 2018 and currently in 2019. Because the license
was only used for a portion of July 2018, this licensee is technically in violation of Section 4-6 of
the City of Oshkosh Municipal Code which requires alcohol beverage license holders to
complete the requirements for issuance of the license for the past year and to operate for at least
one (1) consecutive thirty (30) day period during the previous twelve (12) month period.
However, due to the unique situation in this circumstance involving the construction of the
adjacent intersection, the Council directed staff not to begin non-renewal proceedings for the
2019 license year. The City Clerk's office will review the status of this license in spring 2020 for
the 2020-2021 license year.
Res ectfully Submitted,
A. Lorenson
City Attorney
