Track record

Track record — Government Efficiency

Government Efficiency · 1 support

  • Voted with the full five-member Weld County board to seek a single construction manager for the entire Justice Center project instead of three separate contracts. County lawyers found the charter's Section 14-8 limits taxes rather than spending, so no public vote was needed because reserves pay for the project and no tax goes up.

  • Chaired the Weld County commissioners when the board awarded Kraemer North America a $14,916,360 contract to build a roundabout at County Roads 54 and 13, an intersection with more than 10,000 vehicles a day and a history of broadside crashes. James said the county's earlier roundabouts made traffic safer.
