The Boulder City Beverage Licensing Authority convened on June 21, 2025, to discuss various matters related to liquor license applications and community feedback. The meeting began with a detailed report on a petition for a liquor license, highlighting the outreach efforts made to local businesses and residents.

During the discussion, it was revealed that outreach was conducted to 420 businesses and residents, resulting in 92 signatures in favor of the petition, which represents 21.9% of those contacted. A significant portion of the outreach, 236 individuals, were not home, accounting for 56.2% of the total contacts. Additionally, 53 individuals declined to sign the petition for various reasons, including lack of interest and being too busy.

The report further broke down the success rates of the outreach efforts, noting that 288 residents were contacted, yielding 33 signatures, which is an 11.5% success rate. In contrast, 132 businesses were approached, resulting in 59 signatures, a much higher success rate of 44.7%. Overall, when face-to-face contact was made, the success rate for obtaining signatures was notably higher, with 63.4% of eligible individuals agreeing to sign.

The analysis concluded with a total of 91 signatures in favor of the liquor license, with no disqualified signatures and only one opposition noted. The authority discussed the implications of these numbers, particularly in relation to the community's needs and desires for liquor licenses in the area. It was suggested that the lower percentage of signatures could be attributed to the timing of the outreach, as many students were not present in the area at that time.

Following this discussion, the authority moved on to other agenda items, including the introduction of Dennis Zakatenko, who was invited to provide further input on the matter. The meeting proceeded with no further questions regarding the petition, and the authority expressed gratitude for the detailed report provided.

In summary, the meeting highlighted the community's engagement with the liquor license petition, revealing both the challenges and successes of the outreach efforts. The authority will continue to consider these findings as they deliberate on the future of beverage licensing in Boulder City.
