2003 Denver Mayoral Transition
The Denver Board of Ethics has blessed Mayor-elect Hickenlooper's plan to put his restaurant businesses in a blind trust in an attempt to avoid a conflict of interest between his new office and the running of his businesses according to the Denver Post [July 10, 2003, "Hickenlooper's eateries OK'd for 'blind trust'
"].  From the article, "The board advised Hickenlooper to proceed with his plans to establish a blind trust to shield him from making decisions affecting the operations of those businesses." 
Here's a very short article from the Denver Business Journal [July 9, 2003, "Hickenlooper appoints first three to posts"] about the Mayor-elect's first three appointments.
