Arts and Culture Manager Megan Attermann presented a recap of the city's first-ever summer musical (Newsies, August 2025), produced in partnership with the Holladay Theatre Company:
- Ticket sales: $33,510 over five days
- Donations: $45,500
- Challenges noted with the venue; proposed move to the gazebo for future productions
Upcoming production
Fiddler on the Roof, June 25–30, 2026, in partnership with the Umbrella Theater Company (non-profit providing technical and mentorship support); projected expenses of ~$51,000.

UPD Awards

Incentive Award
presented to Officer Carrie Rigby for exemplary work since joining the Holladay Precinct approximately six months ago.
Division Commander Award
presented to 13 individuals for investigative excellence in a complex case that originated as a vehicle burglary and uncovered a large-scale theft operation: Detectives Jason Aposhian, Easton Story, Anna Walker, Chad Pedersen, Angie Oldham, Cody Hampton, Geoff Clark, Johnny Ortiz, and Will Riding (Murray Police Department); Officers Kyle Cadwallader; Sergeants Shawn Fausett and Edward Twohill; and Lieutenant Tyler Ackerman.

UPD Quarterly Report Highlights

Q4 2025: 30 fewer cases than Q4 2024; call volumes consistent with prior three years.
Longer Priority 1 response times in November attributed to missing at-risk persons cases.
Shopping with the Shield
program served approximately 50 children (15 families) during the holiday season, funded by officer contributions.

UFA Quarterly Report Highlights

Q4 2025: 483 total incidents, 206 emergent.
Emergent response time average: 7:29 (goal: 10 minutes; 90th percentile performance).
Annual calls increased from 1,845 (2020) to 2,216 (2025), attributed largely to an aging population rather than population growth.

Fraud Alert

A fraudulent payment request was sent to a city permit applicant using a spoofed Holladay City email address and staff member names. The applicant contacted the city before making payment. UPD is investigating. Council Members and staff were urged to remain vigilant regarding suspicious communications.

Legislative Session

City and ULCT opposing H.B. 184 (preferred residential land use / lots as small as 5,400 sq. ft. in any zone) and S.B. 97 (property tax rate cap of 5% per year).
City is closely monitoring H.B. 241 (charter school right of first refusal on decommissioned school property) and H.B. 196 (legislature authority to name/rename Class C roads).

Note: The meeting minutes appear to end mid-sentence during the City Manager's report on H.B. 196 and Class C roads. The summary reflects all information available in the provided document.
