Weber County commissioner urges civility after week of violence in Utah County
Summary
During the Sept. 16 meeting, Commissioner Bolos addressed recent violent events in Utah County and urged county residents to avoid political blame and adopt civility, quoting a friend who emphasized empathy and unity.
Commissioner Bolos of the Weber County Board of Commissioners urged residents to favor civility over political blame following a recent week of violent events in Utah County during the board's Sept. 16, 2025, meeting.
Bol os said the county and the nation had “experienced a week of turmoil” and described a choice facing individuals: to "operate within the parameters of civility and kindness" or to go another way. He quoted a post from a friend, Tammy Redor, saying in part, "may we always remember our breath is a gift, our agency is a trust, and our legacy is built not by division, but by love." Bolos said he hoped people would take a ‘‘wake up call’’ from the recent events and choose civility in communities across the state and country.
The board moved from those comments directly into public comment and the consent agenda; no formal action or policy change resulted from Bolos's remarks during the meeting.
Bolos's comments were delivered during the commissioner comments portion of the meeting and were not introduced as a formal agenda item. No other commissioners offered substantive responses recorded in the meeting transcript.
