“I have been literally swamped,” commented Bill Glasser, the recently assigned Gilpin County sanitarian. He officially assumed the position on January 1. Glasser has spent the better part of the last 13 years being involved in the environmental health profession. Therefore, his responsibilities as sanitarian are not unfamiliar. As sanitarian for Gilpin County, Glasser has numerous responsibilities. He functions as a “one man health department.” Approximately 60 to 70 percent of his job is to manage septic systems. He oversees all systems and insures that installation is in accordance to regulations. Additionally, he monitors water quality for Central City, Black Hawk, and the County at large. He also monitors air pollution problems, trash collection, noise complaints, and odor complaints. He is involved in the emergency preparedness program to check for any hazardous materials that might endanger the water supply. Glasser is a graduate of the University of Texas. He has a bachelor’s degree in microbiology and a master’s degree in public health.
Last month, Charles Unseld resigned from the Black Hawk City Council. He had accepted a job in Denver that he felt would eventually produce a conflict of interest with his position with the city. It is expected that the City Council will appoint someone to fill the vacancy at its meeting next Tuesday evening. Applications from qualified residents are being accepted at City Hall through Tuesday. So far, three people have applied for the job. They are Eric Klemp, Heino Sunter, and Michael Wilkinson.
