Council confirms Chris Wislak as Murray City engineer; sworn in at meeting
Summary
The council gave advice and consent to Mayor Hales's appointment of Chris Wislak as city engineer; members praised his responsiveness in the field, the council voted to confirm him, and Brooke Smith swore him into office at the meeting.
The Murray City Council on June 16 confirmed Mayor Hales’s appointment of Chris Wislak as city engineer to direct the Engineering Services Division and conducted an on‑record swearing‑in.
Mayor Hales introduced the candidate and said staff interview panels recommended him. Council members offered personal anecdotes in support: several recounted seeing Wislak in the field addressing traffic and resident concerns (one council member noted he spoke with residents while wearing a broken leg), and members said his hands‑on approach helped resolve local issues. The council unanimously approved the advice and consent resolution by roll call.
City Recorder Brooke Smith then administered the oath of office and Wislak — joined in the chamber by family and staff — pledged to perform the duties of Murray City engineer. Wislak thanked the council and said he looked forward to serving after 12 years with the city's engineering team.
The council scheduled no additional action on the appointment; the vote and oath completed the appointment process at the meeting.
