Announcements PUBLIC MEETINGS Planning Commission Wed., 6/21/23, 5pm City Hall, 3330 S 1300 E Or join virtually HERE Agenda below NEWS Millcreek’s Justice Court Moves to Holladay MILLCREEK. If you get a traffic citation in Millcreek or commit some other type of infraction, or if you become involved in a small claims case in our jurisdiction, you'll be headed to justice court. Under Utah's Code §78A-7-106, justice courts handle petty criminal offenses, as well as ---PAGE BREAK--- Millcreek City Offices Will Be Closed on 6/19 in Celebration of the Juneteenth holiday Class C and B misdemeanors, and small civil claims (currently up to $15,000). Since the city’s incorporation, Millcreek has contracted with Salt Lake County to provide its justice court services. Recently, the County informed the city that it would be getting out of the court business and that Millcreek would need to find a new option. Rather than starting its own justice court, as many cities have—a path that would be costly both in initial set-up costs and ongoing expenses— city leaders explored partnering with neighboring cities. The court services provided at Holladay City Hall have proved to be the best option for Millcreek taxpayers. Effective July 1, 2023, Millcreek's justice court needs will be handled there.* “For years, Holladay’s court has successfully provided this service for Cottonwood Heights,” said Millcreek's City Attorney John Brems. “Adding Millcreek’s cases to the Holladay courthouse will help residents of all three cities to enjoy economies of scale,” he said. The City Council expects that this change will both save money for the city and be more convenient for most Millcreek residents. “The Justice Court located inside Holladay's city hall at 4580 S 2300 E, will actually be closer for most Millcreek residents than the old county location at 2100 S and State,” Mayor Jeff Silvestrini pointed out. He added, “Millcreek’s lean and highly efficient government model continues to work best as we partner where it makes sense instead of trying to do everything ourselves.” Click here to learn more about the Holladay Justice Court. * Cases already being handled by Salt Lake County Justice Court will continue there through this transition.

MONDAY Millcreek Arts Council Summer Jam Series Juneteenth Celebration Features Two Bands Pepper and The Roses, and Terrestrial Soulz Pepper and the Roses are an indie rock band based in SLC. In this project singer/songwriter Pepper Rose has teamed up with guitar powerhouse Erica Rose, Drummer/Poet Wynter Storm, and sometimes bassist Dave Crespo, to create a folk rock sound that’s got a little something for everyone. Pepper’s bright melodies and honest acoustic guitar guide the audience through the full spectrum of emotions as Erica’s classic guitar stylings and Wynter’s soul and gospel inspired beats create a rock-scape that’s easy to get lost in. Dave Crespo on bass provides the glue that helps drive these songs home as they explore the clash between the inner and a chaotic external world. ---PAGE BREAK--- Salt Lake City based Terrestrial Soulz blends funk, rock and hip hop. Their music is rooted in the powerful and expressive lyrics of Martian Textiles underpinned by the composition and bass grooves of Dan DeJesus. Drummer Kale Despot and guitarist Eric McKenna round out the instrumentation with their high energy attack; but they bring it back to melodic grace when accompanied by special guest Aisha Zuiter on cello.
