30 years ago – April 5, 1985
Mike Brewer was named city marshal/police chief for the City of Central after an executive session of Central City Council Wednesday night. Alderman Rand Anderson said yesterday that the decision to hire Brewer was made because “council felt that he was the one they wanted.” Mayor William C. Russell Jr. and Aldermen J.D. Carelli, Flo Farringer and Bruce Schmalz were also present at the meeting. Brewer has been a regular officer with the police department since December 1983, and prior to that was a reserve officer for a year. Brewer’s salary will be $1,359 a month. He will be on probation for six months. Anderson said the council is drawing a list of policies of how the council feels general policing should be done. Once the policies are completed, Brewer is to sign a form and his pay will be retroactive to April 1.
Bob Dornbrock, road and bridge supervisor, reported that, as requested by the commissioners, he will check into the price of a road base material at a gravel operation in Clear Creek County. The company that has that operation recently received permission from Gilpin County to mine sand and gravel near the junction of Highway 119 and Russell Gulch, so Dornbrock will see if it would be cheaper to purchase it locally later. He asked the commissioners where they would find money for the road base in the budget and if there is any extra money available. Williams said there is not. Dornbrock said he would request it in next year’s budget.
