Liquor license holding period may be cut

At Tuesday's meeting the Oshkosh Common Counil will consider a proposal by Paul Esslinger to shorten the time that taverns can hold but not use liquor licenses.

"Currently, the city ordinance requires that a license holder use their liquor license within a two-year period, at which time the Council reviews the license for continued issuance," City Manager Richard Wollangk said in his weekly newsletter. "Council Member Esslinger would like this to be changed to only a one-year period that a license holder can hold, but not use, a liquor license."
