HURLEY — During a special Iron County Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday, the board appointed a new member.

Scott Erickson is the new supervisor from the towns of Oma and Carey

Erickson replaces Dennis DeRosso, of Oma, who died on April 1.

The board held a moment of silence in DeRosso’s memory before the meeting.

DeRosso was also board chairman and county administrator, but the board took no action to name a new chairman or fill the post of county administrator.

The board meets again Tuesday, April 30.
