Boulder City business owners will face immediate changes regarding alcohol inventory management following a recent decision by the Beverage Licensing Authority. Effective immediately, businesses are prohibited from removing any alcohol from their premises. This directive comes as part of a regulatory enforcement measure aimed at ensuring compliance with licensing requirements.

During the meeting, it was outlined that a regulatory licensing staff member, along with an enforcement officer from the Boulder Police, will conduct a full inventory of all alcohol on-site. This inventory is scheduled for 9 AM the following day, and business owners must ensure they have adequate staff to assist, as city personnel are not permitted to help with the inventory process.

Once the inventory is completed, business owners will have five working days to contact their alcohol suppliers regarding any stock that can be returned for credit. Confirmation of these returns must be emailed to regulatory licensing, and the returns must be scheduled within ten business days.

Additionally, on the eleventh day after the hearing, a regulatory licensing staff member will return to oversee the destruction of any unreturned alcohol stock. Business owners are reminded that they must facilitate this process themselves, as city staff cannot assist in the physical disposal of alcohol.

This decision underscores the city's commitment to maintaining strict oversight of alcohol licensing and inventory practices, ensuring that all businesses comply with local regulations. As Boulder City moves forward, business owners are encouraged to stay informed and prepared for these regulatory changes.
