What does the future hold for the Park City community? While it’s impossible to predict with any accuracy, Parkites do know the answer to the related question of who will have the most power to determine what that future looks like: the elected officials who represent them at City Hall.

The filing window will be open for candidates to formally launch municipal campaigns, with the mayor’s office and two seats on t...

Park Record file photo The candidates in the Park City election this year have two options to ensure their name is on the ballot: open their wallets or find 100 people willing to sign a petition in support of their bid for public office. Leaders earlier tightened access to the ballot and the campaign in 2021 is the first that will be held under the rules. Someone who wants to become a candidate for the mayor’s office must pay a $150 fee while the fee for the City Council candidates is $100. I...

It is a likely indication that the repository concept will be an election issue, at least at the outset of the campaign. The text message includes a call for candidates and a statement to “Stop the landfill!” “Consider serving beautiful Park City and your neighbors while preserving the environment,” the text mess...

Park City on Tuesday hosted an open house designed to provide information about a wide range of municipal projects and programs, but the event took on greater meaning with the gathering becoming among the largest City Hall-organized events held in person in the more than a year.

Park City Councilor Nann Worel declined to join other elected officials in signing a statement addressing City Hall’s concept to build a facility along S.R. 248 to store contaminated soils. Worel says the statement “did not go far enough” in explaining the City Hall process regarding the facility.

Park Record file photo 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. Soi...
