Municipal Code amendment (Council Bill 7/ Ordinance 2019-7) City Clerk/ Admin Services Director Melissa Greiner presented Council Bill 7 which is an Ordinance amending various sections of the Black Hawk Municipal Code Regarding 3.2 Beer. The Colorado General Assembly, in 2016, passed Senate Bill 16-197 which repeals the limit on alcohol content of fermented malt beverages, or “3.2 Beer” on January 1, 2019.

Fee Schedule Amendment (Resolution 8-2019) Black Hawk City Council approved Resolution 8-2019 which will amend the City of Black Hawk’s Fee Schedule. Here is just a portion of the changes in the draft version of the fee schedule, under Liquor Licensing the fee for Beer and Wine for a resort and for 3.2 had been struck out because it is no longer on the State’s fee schedule, permits for Bed and Breakfast was moved from the Liquor Licensing section to the Classes of Licenses, and the fees for fingerprint analysis and background checks increased.

Selective Interior Demolition Contract (Resolution 12-2019) Black Hawk City Council approved Resolution 12-2019 which approved the Weecycle Environmental Consulting Proposal for the Selective Interior Non-Asbestos Containing Material Demolition of 305 Gregory, 311 Gregory, 321 Gregory, and 351 Gregory in a total amount not to exceed $66,910. Interior demolition of 305 Gregory Street, 311 Gregory Street, 321 Gregory Street and 351 Gregory Street can be described as the non-structural demolition of interior space in preparation for the reuse of each structure. The work includes interior wall and ceiling removal, demolition of flooring, some utility services, and material salvage. The purpose of the interior demolition is to aid PEH Architects in preparing a detailed set of design development drawings. This design development stage is subsequent to the schematic design stage where the initial design decisions are worked out in greater detail. Design development collects the results from the schematic design phase and takes them one step further. This phase involves finalizing the design and specifying such items as materials, window and door locations and general structural details and the selective interior demolition will advance this process. Design development usually yields a more detailed site plan as well as floor plans, elevations and section drawings with full dimensions, providing a basis for the preparation of construction documents. On December 12, 2018, City Council approved Resolution No. 74-2018, a Resolution approving certain Community Planning and Development Service Agreements for calendar year 2019. One of the approved entities was Weecycle Environmental Consulting (Weecycle). Because of Weecycle’s expertise with environmental laws, staff has requested their assistance in project administration, oversight, and securing contractors that are EPA Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule certified to perform selective interior non-asbestos containing materials demolition. With the assistance of PEH Architects and Weecycle, staff created an interior scope of work. On January 28, 2019, Weecycle issued a Request for Proposal to a group of qualified contractors. Weecycle held a site visit on January 30, 2019 for interested contractors. Bids were due February 4, 2019 by 3:00 p.m. and were distributed to the City on February 6, 2019. Legal and Executive Session Acting City Attorney Hilary Graham requested that Black Hawk City Aldermen recess to Executive Session to receive advice on upcoming Legislation. Black Hawk City Council made a motion to recess to Executive Session per C.R.S 24-6-402 (4)(b) to confer with an attorney for the local public body for the purposes of receiving legal advice on specific legal questions. Next Meeting The next Black Hawk City Council meeting will be conducted February 27, 2019 at 3:00 p.m. at 211 Church Street, Black Hawk, Colorado.
