THE MURRAY CITY EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION The Murray City Employees Association had its beginning in the early 1930s. Originally, the sole purpose was social, with one party planned each year. Later on, a flower fund was added to the responsibilities of the Association. Parties and flowers remained the only functions of the Association for many years, until approximately 1972. At that time, the Association began taking a more active role with the city on behalf of the employees. It was largely due to the efforts of the Employees Association that the Career Service program was formed and subsequently adopted. ---PAGE BREAK--- Presently, the Association is registered as a non-profit organization operating under a set of bylaws adopted on April 18, 1973. It has a governing board of one representative from each city department; the representatives serve one year terms. The President, Vice President, and Secretary-Treasurer serve two year terms. The representatives meet regularly on the third Tuesday of each month. This organization, with a membership of over 325 now provides common representation for employees in all different job categories within the city and at the same time utilizes the voluntary dues of $4.00 a month to send flowers to employees and members of their immediate family at times of illness or accident, have two employee parties each year, and sponsor an annual scholarship fund.
