A Letter from Murray City Mayor Blair Camp and Police Chief Craig Burnett

Dear Residents and Businesses of Murray City,
 
Considering recent incidents involving minority communities and police officers across the country, we have received several emails, phone calls, and letters asking questions about Murray City Police Department policies. We would like to publicly respond to these questions as we believe that open communication and transparency is paramount to building and maintaining trust within our community.
Summer Learning Challenges
Beginning on June 15, the Summer Learning Challenge will be available for all ages. Visit the library website to register and begin your summer of learning fun. Earn badges, learn new skills and contribute to the community reading goal of 2 million minutes.

Fun Days Cancelation
Murray City will not host a Fun Days celebration this year on July 4. Cancelation of the morning breakfast, parade, and daytime activities was announced previously, and we have now made the decision to cancel the fireworks and evening concert. The Salt Lake County Health Department is not currently issuing mass gathering permits, and even if COVID-19 restrictions are lifted soon, there is not enough time to coordinate the event as it is only a few weeks away.

We know that Fun Days is a family tradition for many, and we hope you will find other exciting activities to fill your day while maintaining appropriate social distances. Your health and safety is our top priority during this pandemic. We plan to bring back Fun Days in 2021, bigger and better than ever!
Phased Reopening of
Recreation and Arts Programs

We continue to provide cultural arts programs that can be accomplished within current health department guidelines. The summer schedule is now available.
