Park City resident Christopher Neville, who is challenging House District 53 Rep. Logan Wilde ,R-Croydon, said most of his campaigning for the long-held Republican seat has taken place in western Summit County. Neville said he has knocked on hundreds of doors, speaking with just as many voters about his perspective and desire to become involved in state politics to represent those who feel like they aren’t being heard. “We’re calling phones and we’re knocking on doors. We are engaging with people,” he said. “I try to bring up issues at the door. I try to talk about public lands. I try to talk about the environment. But, the biggest issue people want to talk about is they don’t feel like they are being properly represented by their state. We are trying to build excitement around these races and get people to become involved and feel like their vote counts. We’ve got three winnable races here.” Parkite Meaghan Miller is ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON/PARK RECORD More than 50 people attended the Summit County Democratic Party’s annual barbecue at Rotary Park on Tuesday. Party members were able to hear short speeches from state candidates and representatives for federal office candidates who were unable to attend. seeking the House District 54 seat now held by Rep. Tim Quinn, R-Heber. She said most of her time has been spent in Wasatch County, where she will need to garner significant support to replace Quinn. Some of her greatest supporters there are women, she added. “They are really excited about other women running this year and that has been a really awesome,” she said. “From the conversations I’ve had, I’m learning that more and more people are looking at the candidates’ qualifications and what they can do for our community over their party affiliation.” Eileen Gallagher also attended the event and spoke briefly about her campaigning efforts. She is competing for the Senate District 26 seat to succeed Sen. Kevin Van Tassell, R-Vernal, who is not seeking reelection to a fourth term. Representatives for U.S. Senate hopeful Jenny Wilson and Lee Castillo, who is challenging Republican incumbent Rep. Rob Bishop for the 1st Congressional District seat, which includes Summit County, solicited support from party members. Wilson’s representative attacked her wellknown Republican challenger Mitt Romney’s political background as a former governor of Massachusetts and his out-ofstate financial contributions. Summit County Democrat and Lee representative Sheila Raboy said he felt compelled to run for a congressional seat to be able to bridge the divide “politically, socially and theologically.” She added, “That’s why I support him.” “This is the first time I think in a very long time that we actually have a chance to win,” she said. Only two of the candidates for Summit County’s government races — County Attorney Margaret Olson and Sheriff Justin Martinez, who are both running unopposed — attended the gathering. Martinez and Olson both said they attended to offer their support to the candidates in competitive races. “When I ran for my election in 2014, I had so much backing from the community and the Democratic Party, and if I was running against an opponent this is where I would be looking for that support,” Martinez said. Olson provided similar comments. She said she’s volunteered to knock on doors for the other candidates and help them financially because she doesn’t have to run her own campaign. “I came out to support the local party, but more importantly the candidates, and I’m not just supporting them because they are Democrats,” she said. “These are people I know and have been attending meetings with.” Ballots will be mailed to Summit County voters on Oct. 16 and should arrive around Oct. 19. Ballots will need to be postmarked no later than Nov. 5. Continued from A-1 Room For Everyone and Everything!

She also addressed the potential loss of local taxes that restaurants are required to pay. Operators are only required to obtain a food truck permit in their primary location, which is determined by the home address of the applicant. Local taxes will only be collected in the primary location of the vendor. “When I drive into Redstone and I see a food truck with 20 people standing in front of it and I see four or five restaurants nearby, I think about the money that is coming out of their pockets. It’s a huge concern,” she said at the meeting. “We feel like it is unfair for food trucks to be able to come within city (county) limits and not have to pay taxes.” The county received a letter from Matthew Harris, chef and partner of Tupelo Park City. Harris stated he was “strongly against” any proposal to allow food trucks to operate in the Basin. He said it would be a significant blow to local food service operations. “Food trucks are challenging to regulate via the Summit County Health Department and would increase county costs across the board,” he wrote. “We would be allowing these businesses that are not part of our community to be representing our community.” County Council Chair Kim Carson said the state has unfortunately already made the decision to allow vendors to operate. She added, “The county has no PARK RECORD FILE PHOTO The Summit County Council is considering an ordinance to regulate the operations of food trucks and mobile food courts. Councilors are trying to find a way to lessen the impact of mobile operators on brick-and-mortar establishments. way to demand they pay local taxes.” “We aren’t allowing them,” she said. “They are already allowed.” Carson said other counties have expressed similar concerns about losing revenue through local tax collection. She said there has been a discussion about exploring a point-of-sale option to collect from mobile food trucks. But, she acknowledged it would not help offset potential revenue loss for established restaurants. “It would just make sure they are paying their fair share to our local communities,” she said. County Council member Doug Clyde said he shares the concerns of restaurant owners. He said he wants people to frequent local businesses and pay taxes, but, unfortunately, “It has been taken out of our hands.” Some of the regulations that the county can impose include limiting the locations where the food trucks could be operated and hours of operation as well as ensuring they adhere to specific design requirements. County Manager Tom Fisher was unsure whether the county can afford to dedicate resources to enforcing any regulations the county imposes. The recommended ordinance suggests allowing mobile food businesses to operate on private property, but prohibits them in residential zones except when part of a special event or as part of a private party or function. Food trucks would not be allowed to park in a location for more than 12 hours within a 24hour period. But, vendors would be allowed to have outdoor seating and live music as long as it adheres to the Summit County noise control ordinance. Vendors would be required to obtain a conditional-use permit and would be subject to inspection by the Summit County Health Department. “I would really be in support of putting some time limitation so these things are essentially not set up as something that runs every year every day with the exception of one day,” Clyde said. “I see that as being problematic. I would like to suggest we get some research on these issues and see if there are any reasonable conditions that we can place that will give us control over safety, health and welfare issues.” While County Council members agreed to table the issue, County Planner Ray Milliner encouraged the County Councilors to revisit the matter as soon as possible. “As it is now, I’m assuming word will get out that state code allows them,” he said. “We need to do something so we can at least have some control.” |
