Henderson said he hopes the DEC looks seriously at the consultants' other recommendations, including a call for the DEC to take advantage of the IT staff and resources used by the city and county. "I think, clearly, there's an opportunity for them to benefit from some of the smart people we have working for the city of Denver," he said.

On a related note, John Gaydeski, the executive director of the DEC, resigned from his post last week in response to the problems stemming from the November election.
