City Council Holds Historic Final Meeting in Old Chambers

In a significant meeting marking the final session at the current city hall, Murray City Council members expressed gratitude for the administration's efforts and reflected on the transition to a new city hall. Council member Clark Bullen commended the city's administration, emphasizing the community's love for Murray.

Sean Delascape, a resident of District 2, highlighted the importance of continuing the broadcast of the Committee of the Whole meetings in the new city hall, noting that this meeting would be the last held in the existing building. He humorously suggested that a sign in the chamber, which he found obstructive in photographs, should be preserved in the new Murray City Museum.

The meeting also featured the appointment of Greg Balon as the new general manager of the power department. Mayor Hales presented the resolution for Balon's appointment, describing him as a well-qualified candidate who has garnered support from his colleagues. Balon expressed his commitment to fostering communication and morale within the department, emphasizing the importance of employee satisfaction and the need to navigate challenges related to rising costs and rates.

The council members voiced their support for Balon, with several expressing confidence in his ability to lead the department effectively. The meeting concluded with a sense of optimism for the future, both for the new city hall and the leadership of the power department.
