Murray City celebrates Christmas with record turnout

In a recent city council meeting, members acknowledged the completion of the independent audit for the fiscal year 2021-2022, adopting a resolution to publish the audit notice as required by Utah law. The council also elected Gary as the new vice chair for the remainder of 2022, following the departure of former council member Kat Martinez.

Mayor Brett welcomed the council's inquiries and highlighted the success of the recent Christmas lighting event, which saw a significant turnout. He expressed gratitude for the efforts of the power department and the local choir from Hillcrest Junior High, noting the event's festive atmosphere and community spirit. The mayor humorously recounted his interaction with Santa Claus during the event, emphasizing the tradition's importance to Murray City.

Additionally, the mayor announced anticipated grants from the county, including $758,000 for the mansion museum and $100,000 for a new playground at Pavilion 5, pending the county's vote. He also shared excitement about new stadium seats being installed at the local amphitheater, which will enhance the community's event experience.

The meeting concluded with well-wishes for the holiday season, as the council prepared to adjourn until January.
