TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD Six people are vying for the Park City Council after the seventh candidate was eliminated in the primary election. The field offers a range of experience and the candidates want to enter the Marsac Building with a variety of ideas. City Council ballot offers incumbents, newcomers JAY HAMBURGER The Park Record It took 2 ½ weeks longer than expected, but the field for the Park City Council election is set, offering two incumbents and four people seeking to join the City Council as first-term members. The City Hall election season typically starts in earnest with the Miners Day parade, held on Labor Day each year, and the politicking is now expected to enter a new phase. Five of the candidates cleared the Aug. 13 primary without issue, but the final spot on the ballot was not determined until a recount that was held Aug. 31. The field, in order of finish in the primary: • incumbent City Councilor Nann Worel • incumbent City Councilor Becca Gerber • Max Doilney • Ed Parigian • Deanna Rhodes • Daniel Lewis Voters eliminated the other candidate who competed in the primary, Chadwick Fairbanks III, after a recount he requested confirmed the tally. There are three seats on the ballot in November. The campaign over the next two months is expected to intensify, but it is unclear whether the contest will feature the tensions that have marked previous City Hall campaigns. There does not appear to be an overriding issue beyond those that have been crucial to Park City campaigns for years, and the personalities of the candidates seem to point to a mild-mannered election season. The candidates are: • Worel, who is seeking her second term as a member of the City Council after serving on the Park City Planning Commission prior to winning elected office. Worel lives in the Hidden Oaks neighborhood and once was the executive director of the People’s Health Clinic, a not-for-profit organization that provides medical services for the uninsured. Worel has broad experience at City Hall after having served as a Planning Commissioner and a City Councilor, covering the growth and development issues assigned to the Planning Commission as well as the broader topics the City Council must address. She has said City Hall successes during her first term included the municipal bus fleet of vehicles that are powered by electricity, the work on a planned arts and culture district and the municipal government’s social equity efforts. Worel has also said she would like a transit line on the S.R. 248 corridor.

Doilney lives in Prospector and owns The Corner Store and Corner Sports, which are two businesses at the Resort Center at Park City Mountain Resort. He has said housing and traffic are important issues. He has said Park City has come under the influence of corporate interests and sees the community as being in what he considers to be a transitional period. As part of a housing platform, Doilney has said restricted housing required of large developers should be constructed concurrently to a project itself. PARK RECORD FILE PHOTO Nann Worel • Gerber, who wants a second term in office as she continues to be seen as providing a younger person’s perspective to the City Council as well as the perspective of a member of the Park City workforce. Gerber lives in Park Meadows and works in marketing for Aloha Ski & Snowboard Rentals. She grew up in Park City. Gerber has said the work on the arts and culture district planned in Park City is important and she wants to continue the housing efforts at City Hall, including the possibility of the municipal government creating rental units rather than those that are for sale.
