11-218. Subpoena of witnesses; production of
books and papers


The board may, by its chairman, issue subpoenas to compel attendance of any person
and the production of any records relating to the affairs of the county for examination
upon any matter within the board's jurisdiction. A witness is bound to attend, when
served, and to answer all questions which the witness would be bound to answer in the
matter before a court. Obedience to the subpoena, or to an order to attend or to
testify, may be enforced by the board, and for that purpose the board has all the powers
conferred by law upon courts of record.
