New Police Vehicle Purchase Black Hawk City Council approved the purchase of two new units as presented by Black Hawk Police Chief Kenneth Lloyd. Review of the older police cars, which are 11 years old and have maintenance cost increases, marked police cars which need to be rotated out of service and replaced. The two marked patrol cars being replaced are 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe’s. Phil Long Ford and Johnson Auto Plaza are the two automobile vendors the City of Black Hawk has used in the past. Phil Long Ford quoted 2020 Ford Explorer police package patrol cars, set up with some of the required emergency equipment for the price of $41,875 each. Johnson Auto Plaza could not quote a 2020 police package Chevrolet Tahoe because Chevrolet is not accepting any further orders for 2020 for a police package Tahoe. City Attorney Report City Attorney Corey Hoffmann suggested that Council recess for Executive session per CRS 24-6-402(4)(b), to hold a conference with an attorney for the local public body for the purposes of receiving legal advice on specific legal questions and CRS 24-6-402(4)(e), to determine positions relative to matters that may be subject to negotiations; developing strategy for negotiations; and instructing negotiators.
