Meeting Minutes Black Hawk City Council approved the meeting minutes from the April 28, 2021 regular meeting with no corrections or amendments. Model Traffic Code Adoption (Ordinance 2021-13) Council approved an Ordinance repealing and reenacting Sections 8-1 and 8-2 of the Black Hawk Municipal Code and adopting by reference the 2020 Model Traffic Code. Currently the City of Black Hawk utilizes the 2018 Model Traffic Code. The adoption of the 2020 Model Traffic Code will bring the City of Black Hawk’s traffic code in line with the current State traffic laws. As per Ordinance Codes Adopted by Reference of the Colorado Revised Statutes, the introduction of this Ordinance was approved by Council at their April 14, 2021 meeting and notices were posted in the Weekly Register-Call on April 22 and April 29, 2021.

As of the end of 2019, only about $600,000 had been completed. This amendment to the 2020 Budget simply moves a portion of the 2019 funding forward to 2020 to cover the costs incurred during the year. Black City Council unanimously approved Resolution 29-2021. Sewer Project (Resolution 30-2021) The City has awarded the contract for a public infrastructure project that includes construction of a new sanitary sewer main line (the “Sewer Project”) to JBS Pipeline.

Proximo desires to contribute to the Sewer Project in order to accomplish the provision of public sanitary sewer infrastructure to that specific property owned by Proximo located in the City of Black Hawk. The City and Proximo agree that Proximo’s one-fourth (¼) contribution to the Sewer Project, including a ten percent (10%) contingency is $509,219.80 plus a ten percent (10%) contingency of $50,921.98 for a total contribution $560,141.78 (the “Proximo Contribution”).

The City and Proximo agree that the Proximo Contribution shall be the total amount due from Proximo for the Sewer Project. The City and Proximo further agree that the Proximo Contribution shall satisfy any public sanitary sewer line obligations of the Proximo Property. All sanitary sewer obligations in the future related to the development of the Proximo Property not covered by this Agreement shall be deemed private sanitary sewer obligations of Proximo, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to address such private improvements to be constructed in the future by Proximo. Black Hawk City Council unanimously approved Resolution 30-2021.
