in effect§ 4.2.9 - Subpoenas; issuance on behalf of other City and County agencies and officers.
Wherever in the Charter a board, commission, officer or agency is granted authority to issue subpoenas or compel the attendance of witnesses; upon failure of any witness to comply with such subpoena, the board, commission, officer, agency or party serving the subpoena may petition the County Court of the City and County of Denver for enforcement; in which event, the County Court may enter an order as in other civil actions compelling the witness to attend and testify under penalty of punishment for contempt in case of contumacious failure to comply with the order of the court. The hearing on the petition for enforcement shall take precedence of all matters except older matters of the same character.
