The police were contacted at 7:47 p.m. on May 16, and the person did not mention there being people at the scene with the monkey. The Police Department did not receive another report. Ryan said the report is the first involving a claim of a loose monkey in Park City he is aware of in his 25 years Reclamation District. City Hall is normally represented well, with elected officials, staffers and members of boards and commissions attending. A roster of people planning to attend the trip has not been compiled. It typically draws members of the current class of Leadership Park City, which is a yearlong program meant to encourage activism, businesspeople and not-for-profit leaders in addition to the government officials. The Leadership Park City class normally attends in high numbers, with the members paying their own way. The trip is slated from Sept. 8 until Sept. 12, the same length as previous City Tours. Rademan said he plans to make stops in outlying places along with Bozeman, possibly in Livingston, Mont., which is a small city east of Bozeman, and Yellowstone National Park. Rademan said he wants to schedule a time to visit Ted Turner, the television mogul and philanthropist, at Turner's Montana ranch. He said he has contacted Turner's representatives, but a visit to the ranch has not yet been finalized. Rademan last took the trip to Bozeman in 2002. That year also included a visit to Livingston. During the 2002 trip, the group heard from officials in the two cities, activists and a representative from Yellowstone. The people on the trip that year heard about the small-town lifestyle of Livingston and the collegetown hipness of Bozeman, home to Montana State University. "You can get mauled by a grizzly bear and drink a cappuccino on the same day," Dennis Glick, a staffer at a not-for-profit dedicated to growth management, told some of the people on the 2002 trip during the stop in Livingston. That year's trip also included tours of recreation facilities, a side trip by some to the nearby Big Sky Resort ski mountain and an afternoon of river rafting. The interest in this year's trip is difficult to gauge. It has received little publicity Ryan said the veracity of the report is "certainly possible," saying there are people who own exotic pets. Wildlife officials have long contended that people who see animals in the wild sometimes mistake them for other species. From afar, as an example, someone might be looking at a large dog and believe they are seeing a mountain lion. They might also see a large dog and mistake the animal for a wolf. Wildlife is plentiful in the Park City area, with the mountains ringing the city being home to deer, elk and moose. Mountain lions and bears are seen with less frequency. Scott White, a lieutenant with the state Division of Wildlife Resources who is assigned to the region that includes the Park City area, said the state prohibits people from keeping primates as pets. White, a 23-year veteran of the division, said he was unaware of another report involving a monkey. He said the likelihood that the person at the McPolin Farm saw a monkey is "fairly slim" but he did not discount the report. "I've never heard of any monkeys up that way," he said. and the organizers have not started registering people. Signups are usually done a few months before the trip. Budgets throughout the public sector, the private sector and among not-forprofit groups, though, are tight, meaning that some might be hesitant to spend the money to send someone on the trip. City Hall, meanwhile, is amid the toughest budget talks in years as Mayor Dana Williams and the Park City Council consider whether to raise property taxes for the first time in at least 20 years. Candy Erickson, a City Councilwoman who has been on approximately 10 of the City Tours, mostly during her three terms in office, called the City Tour a "worthwhile trip." She cited ideas about pay-for-performance plans and a citizen board involved with the police as coming from the trips. She said she will likely pay her own way in 2010 but added, though, certain City Hall staffers should be sent on the trip at the expense of taxpayers. "I think that the tour is an excellent learning opportunity as well as an ability to see how other towns operate and learn from them," Erickson said, adding, "We're stupid not to steal from the best."
