He is approximately 5 feet, 10 inches tall and was wearing a blue bicycling outfit. The Police Department is investigating the case as a possible assault with the bicyclist as the suspect, Kirk said. He said the Police Department, though, is not investigating a potential violation of leash laws, explaining the police were not called to the scene to investigate a possible offense of that nature. “Even if he was in violation of the leash law, that’s not cause for physical assault,” Kirk said. The case on the McLeod Creek trail highlights long-running strains among dog owners who keep their pets on leashes, those who do not, bicyclists and hikers. It is rare, though, that a confrontation leads to physical violence like the one on Aug. 16. Leash laws are in effect throughout Park City with the exceptions being off-leash areas designated at the Library Field and Round Valley. Offleash dogs, though, are oftentimes seen in Park City outside of the two designated areas, including on trails. Leash laws remain one of Park City’s divisive issues even after the years of encounters, the creation of the off-leash areas and advocates pressing for responsible dog ownership. Dog owners see the opportunity to walk or run their pets off leashes as fitting with the community’s mountain-town vibe, while people who are concerned with the practice want to enjoy the city’s recreation opportunities without the harassment of an unleashed pet. Anybody with information about the Aug. 16 confrontation may contact the Police Department at 615-5500. The Sundance Film Festival recently secured an approval from the Park City Council to use abandoned retail space for a new venue during the January event as well as a merchandise store at other times of the year. The City Council at the recent meeting voted 4-0 with City Councilor Lynn Ware Peek absent to approve the venue, which will be located in vacant space at 950 Iron Horse Drive. It is the former location of a Blockbuster video store and a fitness gym. Sundance intends to relocate some of the festival’s New Frontier programming in the building, shifting that part of Sundance from the Kimball Art Center. There will not be a screening room at 950 Iron Horse Drive. Sundance says the Kimball Art Center will be used to host festival panel discussions and other events. The Claim Jumper building on Main Street is not available to Sundance organizers in 2019, prompting some of the shuffling. The plans to open a merchandise Continued from A-1 Director will depart is selected, the advisory board will conduct a final interview and ratify the decision. The position was posted to the county’s website in early August and has been advertised with the Utah Attorney General’s Office, which administers the Children’s Justice programs statewide. The director of the Children’s Justice Center is responsible for overseeing its operation. When law enforcement officials receive a report of abuse, the director schedules an appointment for the victim to be interviewed at the facility. The Children’s Justice Center operates in the bottom of the Sheldon Richins Building in Kimball Junction. “It’s a very important and critical Continued from A-1 Arguments sought within Park City should the measure be approved. The Treasure land is located on a hillside overlooking Old Town along the route of the Town Lift. The Sweeney family in the 1980s secured an overall development approval for the Treasure land and nearby parcels. The Treasure land is now under the ownership of a partnership involving the Sweeney family and a firm called Park City II, LLC.

Park City officials are sensitive to abandoned retail spaces, and the prospects of a Sundance– run store opening at 950 Iron Horse Drive was praised at the meeting. The City Council did not spend extensive time discussing the new venue prior to the vote. City Councilor Steve Joyce thanked Sundance for considering the community’s desire to reduce the number of socalled dark storefronts. He said, though, nearby Homestake Road is dangerous for pedestrians. Joyce worried about people “wandering in the street” as they head between Sundance venues. Betsy Wallace, who is the chief financial officer and managing director of Sundance, meanwhile, told the elected officials the venue at 950 Iron Horse Drive is a step toward preparing for an arts and cultural district that is planned on nearby Kearns Boulevard. The Sundance Institute’s Utah headquarters are expected to be one of the district’s anchor tenants. The venue at 950 Iron Horse Drive will be added to an important corridor for Sundance along Kearns Boulevard. There are important Sundance locations on or close to the road, including the Eccles Center, festival headquarters and the screening rooms at Holiday Village Cinemas. service that we provide,” Olson said. “The director really coordinates the multi-disciplinary team and runs the nuts and bolts of the center. It’s a big job.” Summit County’s Children’s Justice Center is one of 26 centers across the state providing child-focused programs. It is a nonprofit, government agency and is funded by Park City Municipal, federal grants and private donations. The job description on the county’s website stated candidates must be able to establish and maintain an operation in which cases of child abuse “may be handled in the least traumatic environment.” The annual salary will pay between about $48,000 and nearly $68,000, with benefits. Olson said she reviewed the first batch of applications on Monday. More than 30 were received. She expects a “large number of very qualified candidates.” Olson said the goal is to have someone selected by mid-September. Christina Sally, an investigator with the Children’s Justice Center, is currently serving as interim director. Sally brought the service in Summit County. The partnership spent years locked in difficult talks with the Park City Planning Commission about a development proposal of approximately 1 million square feet before the partnership and City Hall entered negotiations centered on a conservation deal. The $48 million ballot measure also includes funding for a contribution of up to $3 million toward an unrelated conservation agreement in Thaynes Canyon, known as Snow Ranch Pasture.
