§ 2-967.1. Legislative findings and purpose.

The Board of County Commissioners finds that it is in the best interest of the County to ensure that persons who have knowledge of unlawful activity, misfeasance or malfeasance by the County or independent contractors report such knowledge to the appropriate authorities for investigation and corrective action In order to encourage persons to report such information without fear of reprisal, it shall be the policy of the County to prohibit adverse action against a person for disclosing such information to an appropriate official or agency and, if appropriate, to reward such person when the information disclosed leads to the County's recovery of public funds.
