City Hall wants to execute a public-relations effort to outline the concept to build a facility along the S.R. 248 entryway to store soils containing contaminants from Park City’s silver-mining era, outlining a 60-day effort designed to explain the idea as many Parkites appear to be concerned about the prospects of a project.
Officials have taken steps to build what is known as a repository on municipal land located at the S.R. 248-Richardson Flat Road intersection. Soils containing contaminants like lead and arsenic would be stored in the facility. The repository would ultimately have space for 140,000 cubic-yards of materials and have an estimated construction cost of approximately $2.7 million.

The Summit County Board of Health has chosen Deputy Director Phil Bondurant to fill the Health Department’s top post, opting against a broader candidate search in favor of continuity while the pandemic and its aftereffects linger.
Bondurant will succeed retiring Health Director Rich Bullough, whose last day will be Aug. 20. Officials said they would begin a nationwide search immediately for the next deputy director.
The health director oversees a department with 32 employees and a nearly $7 million budget. As the local health officer, the director has broad authority to shut down businesses and order quarantines, powers that Bullough exercised during the early months of the pandemic. The director also oversees vast swaths of programming ranging from mental health services to restaurant inspections to air quality monitoring.

For those who haven’t been there, “The Beach” is a slope-side parking area where skiers love to barbeque, tailgate, and revel in the spring sunshine. Most weekends in the spring, the area is ground zero for a darned good party. And next weekend, there’ll be a little purpose, too.
A ski area in Colorado will offer a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccines for free Saturday, May 16 on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Arapahoe Basin, located in Dillon, plans to distribute 200 Johnson and Johnson vaccines to adults 18 years and older from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. May 16. Getting our vaccination rate above 70% is one of our last major hurdles, Al Henceroth, the ski area s chief operating officer, wrote online.
The COVID-19 vaccine clinic will be set up in Beach Spot #1 on The Beach, the ski mountain s popular parking lot for tailgating. Arapahoe Basin is operating the clinic conjunction with Summit County Health Department with ski patrol and first responders on site.
