Loading...
Summary
At its April 22 meeting, the Boulder City Business License Liquor Board unanimously approved a Class G special-event liquor license for the Chamber of Commerce’s Dinner on the Avenue (May 16) and approved a Class G license plus a raffle permit for the Boulder City Rotary Club’s annual Best Am Barbecue (May, date not specified).
The Boulder City Business License Liquor Board on April 22 unanimously approved special-event liquor licenses for two community fundraisers and ratified minutes from its March 25 meeting.
Utility Services Manager Brady Prestwich presented staff reports for both event applications. He said the Chamber of Commerce’s Dinner on the Avenue is planned for May 16, 2026, will close Arizona Street, will seat about 100 pre-registered guests served by local restaurants, and will serve beer and wine with limited cocktails during a later music-and-dancing portion; setup and cleanup are expected between about 2 p.m. and 11 p.m. “We felt the applicant has met all the requirements in the Boulder City code,” Prestwich said, and recommended approval.
The board approved the Chamber application by unanimous vote after a motion and second.
Prestwich also reported the Boulder City Rotary Club’s annual Best Am Barbecue is scheduled for May 2026 in the parks and surrounding area near City Hall. The Rotary, described in the materials as a Boulder City nonprofit, requested a Class G special-event liquor license (which allows sale of all liquor types) and a special-event gambling permit for an on-site raffle. Prestwich said raffle tickets will be sold only at the event, in denominations ranging approximately from $10 to $100, and that proceeds will be donated to local Boulder City organizations. Staff said the event is in good standing and recommended approval.
A Committee member moved to approve the Rotary Club applications; the motion carried unanimously.
