Petition gathers 107 signatures for new business license amid few oppositions

The Boulder City Beverage Licensing Authority meeting on June 21, 2025, focused on the results of a recent outreach effort regarding beverage licensing in the community. The initiative aimed to gather support from local businesses and residents for the issuance of a new beverage license.

During the outreach, officials made a total of 445 attempts to engage with businesses and residents. This included 124 attempts at businesses and 320 attempts at residents. From these efforts, 107 signatures were collected in support of the license. Notably, all 56 signatures from businesses were in favor, while among residents, 51 signatures indicated support, with only one opposing the initiative. The individual who opposed the license did not provide a reason for their stance.

The outreach also revealed that 57 individuals declined to participate, with reasons ranging from lack of interest to company policies against signing. Additionally, 57 individuals were deemed unqualified to sign the petition, including 38 businesses without an owner or manager present, 10 individuals under the age of 21, and 9 non-residents.

The results suggest a strong community desire for the beverage license, with the overwhelming majority of responses indicating support. The meeting concluded with officials expressing their readiness to address any further questions from the board regarding the outreach findings and the next steps in the licensing process.
