Former head of Colorado Department of Human Services will be paid for nearly 2 months after resignation
Gov. Jared Polis’ announcement of Michelle Barnes’ resignation did not mention the settlement or the fact that she will continue to be paid through Dec. 2. Former head of the Colorado Department of Human Services, Michelle Barnes, remains on paid leave through early December after reaching a settlement with the governor’s office to avoid litigation. The settlement, signed Oct. 6, does not include a monetary payment beyond her time on paid-leave. The agency, which has been under scrutiny due to workplace culture allegations and turmoil at juvenile detention facilities, has struggled recently with high turnover in its leadership team, formal complaints about management and millions in settlements with departing staff. The state in January hired an outside firm to investigate complaints within the department, which centered on deputy executive director Katy Morrison.
