Black Hawk is not going to apply for grant funding from the state for water meters. A motion was passed at a special meeting of Black Hawk council members Wednesday to withdraw the grant application. It was based on public input received to date. The discussion about water meters was initiated by Linda Martin, City Manager. She said that the proposal for water meters was a “long term issue.” She used as examples the per capita usage of water being 350 gallons per day, that Black Hawk needs a different storage facility, and the city needs a new water filtration plant, as well as a better source of water. Councilman Velma Starbrach said the cost of the project would be more than the city can afford. Councilmen Bill Lorenz and Werschky agreed. The council asked Martin when Black Hawk was scheduled to meet with the state regarding the application. Martin responded, “next Friday.”
George Armbright was sworn in as Marshal for Black Hawk by Mayor Bobby Clay. Armbright will be answering all calls regarding city ordinances. He will also respond to Black Hawk calls received by the dispatchers. After responding to a call, Armbright is to review the situation and call the Gilpin County Sheriff’s Office to handle any criminal offenses. Sheriff Rosetta Anderle and Marshal Armbright agreed that there would not be conflict between Black Hawk and the Gilpin County Sheriff’s Department. Both agreed that they could work together.
