Iron County Youth develop a good will policy for Iron County.

HURLEY — For much of their tenure, the teen members of the Iron County Youth Leadership Council who sit on the Iron County Board of Supervisors have taken a smaller role in meetings taking a role of mostly listening to discussions and voting at the appropriate times.  On Tuesday, however, the county board passed a statement the youth leadership council played a key role in developing.  It’s called “The Iron County Board of Supervisors Statement of Community Integrity and Respect” it highlights that Iron County is a great place and a community that takes pride in “small town values” such as safety, belonging, integrity and respect.  In the statement, the county board: opposes any form of hate, encourages community members to hold themselves and their neighbors accountable for building awareness of hateful behaviors, empowers members of the community to engage in constructive and respectful conversations on the topic and commits to work with communities to create partnerships that further inclusion and collective integrity. The members of the youth leadership council have been meeting weekly since early July, developing the policy.
