Many of them have been operating for a decade or more. There is a grocery store, a pizza restaurant, a pet groomer, a locksmith, a sign company, an orthodontics office and an eye care center, as examples. There are also not-for-profits and government facilities that use "Park City." Vail Resorts wants to trademark the words "Park City" in an effort to block another operator of a mountain resort from using them in their name, an executive from the firm said in a statement describing the trademark application. Kristin Williams, the vice president of mountain community affairs for Vail Resorts, said in the statement the company understands there are many businesses in the Park City area that use the name of the city and the trademark, if granted, would not impact those businesses. Still, though, there appears to be enough concern for Mayor Jack Thomas and the City Council to address the issue. The elected officials briefly discussed the matter at a recent meeting and are expected to talk in more depth about the trademark application later. It is likely City Hall staffers will prepare a report about the application prior to the upcoming discussion, which had not been scheduled by early in the week. Some businesses that are named after the city did not have enough information by early in the week to discuss the trademark application while others, like Park City Powdercats & Heli Ski, had questions or concerns. Still others did not appear to be worried. Park City Title Company opened in 1990 and has used the words "Park City" since it was founded. Nari Trotter, the owner, said the name of the city "should sort of belong to everybody." "It is an inalienable right to use the Continued from A-1 Published every Wednesday and Saturday.

"We have basically partnered together and are using that as our guidelines," Davis said. The military's role in development Infrastructure for the area's development would be created through the Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA), Davis said, adding that over time, the facilities would generate revenue through tax increment refunds and bonds. "MIDA provides incentives for both the developer to build something the way we want it built and also an incentive for us to create public infrastructure that we would like to see," Davis said. "We are taking that opportunity now in the Jordanelle." However, Davis said the military is required to own property within the project area to enable implementation of the tax increments. He said when parcels of land owned by the Talisker Corporation were foreclosed on, Wells Fargo inherited a parcel just south of Deer Crest that it has agreed to donate. "That will trigger the ability for all of this to start actually happening," Davis said. "We have talked about it for years, but we haven't been reached a point where stuff can start actually happening. With the military acquiring this ground, which we anticipate will be completed in August or September, we This is the best preservation practice we can do for the barn . . . It's the least invasive way," will be able to allow these other properties to start benefiting." Davis briefly acknowledged the impacts the development would have on traffic and workforce housing. He said it will generate a need for more housing, which will be located on the east side of U.S. 40. However, he provided few details. "It's just kind of coming together now," Davis said. "It's not like we will see something up there by the end of the year, but within the next couple of years we will start to see a fair amount of development." Impacts on neighboring communities Summit County Council Chair Roger Armstrong said the proposals that are going before Wasatch County leaders have the potential to create a substantial economic opportunity for the county. "It reminds me of what Park City may have been experiencing in the late 1990s and early 2000s in the run up to the Olympics," Armstrong said. "The base area they are contemplating over in Mayflower could be a huge economic driver for that region. It's actually quite remarkable." However, Armstrong said "with substantial growth comes substantial challenges." He said Summit County and Park City leaders are concerned about how that growth could impact traffic, housing and economics in the county. "It becomes a basic fundamental issue for our residents about how those developments that are being planned in Wasatch County affect us here," he said. "We are going to have to figure out how that all works together and part of that is in good planning because ultimately we will merge together and if we don't get our arms around before those isolated problems they will become regional problems." JAKE SHANE/PARK RECORD The Summit County Senior Center will temporarily house the Division of Motor Vehicles Kamas office while a new Kamas County Service Building is constructed. On Monday, construction crews began demolishing the old structure. All of the county's services, including the library, have been relocated. Continued from A-1 which secure a building to the ground, will be attached to the steel frame. Roof trusses will also be put inside. Matt Twombly, the City Hall project manager overseeing the work, has said the work will be visible from the outside. The barn is not open to the public based on safety concerns and the planned upgrades are not meant to make it a habitable building. The barn at the end of the work, though, is expected to appear much as it does today other than the reappearance of the windows. The work is anticipated to cost approximately $1 million and last four months. Subscription rates are: $48 within Summit County, $72 outside of Summit County, Utah.

She said it is "unfortunate" that a business would put its interests above those of the community. Another business, called Park City Rental Properties, said it would be difficult for the firm if it was unable to use the words "Park City." Owner Jim Bizily said Park City Rental Properties has used the name for approximately 15 years. Having "Park City" in the name is important in boosting Internet traffic, he said. "Park City's the name of a town. I don't know how they would trademark a name of a town," Bizily said. "It would be kind of devastating for everything we've worked on." Others, though, did not have similar concerns, saying their businesses have existed for many years. Mike Holm, the owner of the Market at Park City, a grocery store, said the business is established. Gordon Cummins, an executive at the transportation firm All Resort Group, said one of its brands, Park City Transportation, is already a trademarked name. Cummins said he sees no differences from a previous owner of PCMR. "I personally don't understand what the big deal is," Cummins said, acknowledging that he did not have detailed information about the trademark move by Vail Resorts. In a prepared statement in response to a Park Record inquiry about the impact of the trademark application on businesses, Williams reiterated the assertion that the trademark is meant to guard against another mountain resort opening with a similar name. "As we've said previously, we know that many other businesses use ‘Park City' in the name of their businesses and that will continue without change whether or not the government grants our registration. We have no intent, nor do we believe the registration would give us the right, to interfere with local businesses that use ‘Park City' in their names," she said. "Vail Resorts owns registered trademarks for both VAIL and BRECKENRIDGE in connection with the mountain resort services and we do not try to prevent the many businesses in those communities from using the town names as part of the names of their businesses." Demolition begins Hannah Turpen, Park City planner service contract with Method Studio, of Salt Lake City, to design and construct the new two-story building. More than 6,000-square feet in the "It's going to have very little impact new facility will be dedicated to the Kaon the historic structure of the barn," White said. "And that's why the board mas library. It will include an auditorium, the computer lab and larger, more varied la 3.5" x 5", b&w ad "Extensions" was very, very ooh happylaand everyone spaces for adults, children and teens. voted for the work to begin." Kate Mapp, Kamas branch manager, said the relocation has affected the programs that they are able to offer and limited the library's hours of operation. The library is now open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. and closed on the weekends. "We had to discontinue our Create and Take afternoon craft activity for kids because we just don't have a good area to do it in now and we want to be good neighbors to the others in the building," Mapp said. "But we can still do story times and we are still able to offer a lot of our adult programs, like the book clubs Park Record updates. and memory classes." Love. Truth. Hair. The Park Record. Continued from A-1 About half of the library's collection has been placed in storage, however, Mapp emphasized that the items are still accessible. She said access to wireless internet and popular items, such as DVDs and audio books, are also still available in-house. "Right now we can just really push people to use our other services and look at our website," Mapp said. "I just don't want people to forget about the library during the construction and I hope they come visit the new temporary facility." All the services that were housed in the Kamas County Service Building, including the library, county health department, Valley Behavioral Health and the Department of Motor Vehicles, were recently relocated to temporary locations throughout Kamas. In addition to the library, the Health Department is also being housed at the Kamas Health Center Building, located at 228 West 200 South. The Division of Motor Vehicles will operate out of the Senior Center, located at 20 East 400 South, and Valley Mental Health's operations have been relocated to South Summit High School. Julie Keyes, office manager at the Kamas DMV, said they have had to adjust their hours to not interfere with the Senior Center's operations.
