Commission adopts '1 Kind Act Today' pledge; no county funds required
Summary
The commission voted to adopt the '1 Kind Act Today' pledge for the county, emphasizing there is no financial impact and yard signs and materials are donated; commissioners encouraged employees to be ambassadors for the campaign.
A presenter read the '1 Kind Act Today' manifesto to the commission and asked Utah County to commit to the pledge as the first county in the state to do so. Commissioners praised the idea and emphasized that there is no financial impact to the county and that yard signs and related materials are donated by community partners and businesses.
Commissioner comments stressed employee engagement and local partnerships (including the Chamber of Commerce and cities) to amplify the campaign. A motion to adopt the pledge passed by voice vote.
The commission did not allocate tax dollars to the program; staff were instructed to coordinate with community partners and return with any recommended outreach plans for staff participation.
