BOONE, Iowa---The Boone County Board of Supervisors quickly approved a third consideration of a social hosting ordinance during their meeting Tuesday. The ordinance was developed by the Boone County SAFE Coalition with the help of law enforcement and the Boone County Attorney Jim Robbins. The ordinance offers law enforcement civil penalties to use against people that host parties for underage youth. Earlier, Boone Police Chief Bill Skare says it's another tool for law enforcement to use. He said he prefers criminal charges if possible, but sometimes the evidence is just not available. Ogden and Madrid are still moving ahead to adopt similar ordinances. Boone has already adopted it's version.
