Boulder City liquor board unanimously approves Beer Fest alcohol permit and church raffle gambling permit

The Boulder City Business License Liquor Board on March 13 unanimously approved two special‑event permits: a Class G special‑event liquor license for the Boulder City Beer Fest and a special‑event gambling permit for Christ Lutheran Church’s Swing into Spring raffle.

Staff told the board that Boulder Dam Brewing is sponsoring the Beer Fest, which is scheduled for March 29, 2025, and will be held at Wilbur Square and Centennial Park. A staff member said the applicant is "in good standing" and eligible under Boulder City Code section 4‑2. A committee member moved to approve the Class G permit and the board voted in favor by voice vote.

On the church raffle, a committee member disclosed that his son attends Little Lambs Preschool, which is operated by Christ Lutheran Church, and said the disclosure did not require recusal. Staff described the raffle as having ticket sales prior to a prize drawing at the Swing into Spring festival on April 5, 2025, at Bicentennial Park, with prizes estimated at $500 or less and proceeds to benefit Little Lambs Preschool. A committee member moved to approve the special‑event gambling permit and the board approved it unanimously.

The board also approved the minutes of its March 6, 2025 meeting by voice vote. The chair opened both an initial and a final public comment period, provided a call‑in number and a three‑minute limit per caller, and reported that no callers spoke in the portions of the transcript provided.

No vote tallies by individual board member names were recorded in the provided transcript; minutes and both permit approvals were recorded as passing unanimously. The board did not record any formal abstentions, recusals, or opposing votes in the transcript. The meeting proceeded without further public comment in the supplied record.
