30 years ago – August 16, 1985
Central City Police Officer Mike McClernan gave his letter of resignation to Police Chief Mike Brewer on August 13. The letter from McClernan stated, “I have found… that because of certain conditions existing in my department that are not conducive to my profession in law enforcement, such as those set by our superior, I find myself left with no option than to resign my position and continue my profession elsewhere.” McClernan gave the effective date of his resignation as yesterday. Brewer did not want to comment about the letter written by McClernan. He did say that McClernan’s position will be filled as soon as possible and when a replacement is approved by the Central City Council. McClernan accepted the position as police officer for Central City on May 1, 1985.
Work is progressing on the paving project on Highway 46. Monday, the crew from Flatiron Paving Company of Boulder was busy scraping and grading the roadbed. The company will be paving a 1.7 mile section of the highway inside Golden Gate State Park and a 1.1 mile section southeast of the park. In some spots, the course of Ralston Creek is being altered. Flatiron Paving has been working “hand in hand” with the Environmental Protection Agency on that. Screening has been set up along the stream to keep any dirt out of the creek and away from fish. The EPA is monitoring the project. The projected completion date for the paving is Halloween, October 31. However, Flatiron Paving hopes to be done by the middle of next month. They are hoping for dry weather so that target date can be met.
