Description
We granted certiorari to review Gilman v. State, 932 P.2d 832 (Colo. App. 1996), in which the court of appeals reversed the trial courts grant of summary judgment in favor of the State of Colorado (the State) in a case involving the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act (the Act), sections24-10-101 to -120, 7C.R.S. (1997). The issue before the trial court was whether the State, by virtue of the Act, has an obligation to indemnify the director of the Adams County Department of Social Services (ACDSS) and two other ACDSS workers because they are the States "public employees." The trial court held that the director and the workers are not "public employees" of the State within the meaning of the Act. The court of appeals disagreed, holding that because of the relationship between ACDSS and the State, the director and the workers are "public employees" of the State. We reverse.
