DENVER—Adams County commissioners have adopted a new set of guidelines they say will prevent corruption and wasteful spending.
The Denver Post says the resolutions forbid county officials and employees from hiring county contractors for personal business, bar department heads from political activities, set competitive-bidding requirements and hire an independent auditor to examine county contracts.
Commissioners also voted to sue Quality Paving Co., county and company employees indicted in a payment scandal, and the county’s former public-works director in an effort to recover about $2 million allegedly paid for work that was double-billed or not done.
