After choosing not to run for reelection, Holladay City Councilmember Ty Brewer was recognized at a city council meeting for his service to the community. 

As a councilmember representing District 1, Brewer served in several roles, including RDA chair, liaison for the Holladay Historical Commission and the Mosquito Abatement Board, and the Cottonwood Elementary and Olympus High community councils.

“Ty has been a really effective advocate for his district,” said Councilmember Matt Durham. “It’s been great watching him represent the members of his district and look out for their interests. Ty has always made me think and he raises issues that I haven’t considered. He approaches things in a way that is always respectful and always thoughtful. He’s smart in the way he approaches things and has been helpful to me to explore different ways of getting things done, different ways of addressing problems. He will be missed on the council.”

Brewer, his wife, Kellie, and their seven children are longtime residents of Holladay. He thanked his fellow councilmembers, city staff and his family for their support during his term in office. 

“What a wonderful experience this has been,” he said. “All these kinds of words that my colleagues have said, all of them are fantastic people. We’re lucky, here in Holladay. I don’t think all cities benefit in that way. I have tremendous respect for every one of them.”
