Leaders are “delivering across the board” on the list, he said. He said, however, the critical priorities could be re-evaluated over the course of the four-year term and could at some point be relabeled downward to top or high priorities. “There’s the opportunity to have discussions . . . I sense a shift,” Henney said. Henney is 59 years old and lives in lower Deer Valley. He has lived in Park City since 1992. He is a real estate investor and manager. He has said his work in that field has wound down over time. Henney said he will press the ideal of social equity in the second term. There seems to be a possibility City Hall could create a social equity department, something that other Park City leaders have also mentioned. Henney said social equity talks could address topics like senior citizen issues as well as the overall affordability of Continued from A-1 Beerman wins THE NEWSROOM To contact the newsroom, please call 435–649–9014 or email editor@parkrecord.com For display advertising, please call a sales representative at 435–649– 9014 or email val@parkrecord.com To place a classified ad, please call 435–649–9014 or email classads@parkrecord.com For questions about your bill, please call 435–649–9014 or email accounts@parkrecord.com The Park Record online is available at www.parkrecord.com and contains all of the news and feature stories in the latest edition plus breaking news updates.

They continue to have substantial interests at the Main Street property, but they do not run the day-to-day operations. Beerman, though, has also pressed environmentalism in his private-sector position as well as through his City Council service. The Treasure Mountain Inn has been honored for its wide-ranging green efforts while City Hall during his nearly six years in office has expanded an already aggressive environmental program. The contest between Beerman and Williams was a cordial affair with few political fireworks. The issues were similar between them – addressing the related issues of growth and traffic as well as other standard City Hall election topics Continued from A-1 Rothwell passes A deal was eventually reached among United Park City Mines, Park City leaders and the opposition, allowing the annexation and a redesigned project to proceed. Rothwell left United Park City Mines in 2003 shortly after a merger with a capital firm. United Park City Mines later came under the Talisker corporate umbrella. “Hank Rothwell meant the world to me as a human being. I owe my entire professional career to Hank Rothwell,” said Rory Murphy, who was a vice president at United Park City Mines for nine years during Rothwell’s tenure as president. “He taught me the profession of real estate development. I apprenticed under him.” Murphy left the company to pursue his own developments like Silver Star on the edge of Thaynes Canyon. He said Direct Importer of the World’s Finest Rugs A t t h e H i s t o r i c Vi l l a T h e a t r e 3092 So. Highland Dr., Salt Lake City (801)484-6364 888.445.RUGS (7847) Mon.-Sat. 10 am to 6 pm Park City. He said, as an example, the discussions could explore the financial impacts of increases in municipal water rates. Henney, meanwhile, said he wants the identity of Park City to be better defined. He said he wants to learn from Park City residents whether they consider the city a world-class resort destination with an accompanying community or vice versa. Joyce said in an interview he has prepared to serve by regularly attending City Council meetings over the past year. He reiterated the importance of some platform planks like fiscal responsibility. He called himself “really nosy” on financial matters. “I will spend a lot of time going through the budget,” he said, describing an interest in reviewing City Hall borrowing and which municipal projects are funding priorities. Joyce is 55 and has lived in Park City since 2004. He lives in April Mountain and is retired after a career in computer science. He sees his service on the Planning Commission as having given him an important background in City Hall’s development rules. His Planning Commission experience provides “extra value” to his upcoming City Council role, he said. Joyce said it was a “nice campaign.” “It’s a lot of work during the campaign. You hate to get through it all and come up short,” Joyce said. like the economy. Beerman seemed especially aggressive in his campaigning after the primary. He was also more focused than he was in the unsuccessful bid four years ago. He secured the endorsements of a lengthy roster of government leaders and his fundraising efforts beat Williams by a wide margin. He said he wanted to broaden his in-person campaigning after the primary as well. Beerman, meanwhile, said he likely won the support of large numbers of voters who backed Roger Armstrong, a Summit County Councilor, in the primary. He said himself and Armstrong “cannibalized each other’s votes.” The results are preliminary. The Summit County Clerk’s Office, which managed the election on behalf of City Hall, said approximately 350 ballots that arrived in the mail on Wednesday need to be counted. An unknown number of ballots left at drop boxes after 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday also still need to be counted. The ballots left to be counted are from across Summit County, and it is not known how many of the ballots are from Park City. It is highly unlikely Williams could overtake Beerman in the final count. The Park City canvass is scheduled on Thursday. Rothwell assisted in the United Park City Mines sale of the Silver Star land to Murphy’s group. Murphy also recalled that Rothwell led a publicly traded United Park City Mines, which he said was “at the time the largest corporate interest in Park City.” He answered to a board of directors with figures based in New York City, Murphy explained. “Hank was charged with mediating their corporate desire with the realities of the town,” Murphy said. “He did it brilliantly and far more effectively and conscientiously than most people realize and appreciate.” Murphy, as an example, said it was Rothwell who argued to keep the trails in Empire Canyon open to the public even as United Park City Mines’ ownership wanted them closed. Murphy said Rothwell’s stand was a forebearer for the area’s system of public trails. Rothwell had a “monumental impact on this community,” Murphy said. Mayor Jack Thomas was an architectural consultant to United Park City Mines during the Flagstaff discussions years before he took office. He said Rothwell was genuine, transparent and contemplative. He was widely respected, the mayor said. “He was one of those people, said it the way it is,” Thomas said. Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, November 11-14, 2017 Coalville incumbents see Election Day wins Mayor and two city councilors elected to second terms ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON The Park Record When Coalville City Mayor Trever Johnson learned that he had been elected to a second term, he was “pretty relieved.” “I was a little worried that some of the rumors that were circulating had started to gain some traction,” he said in an interview on Wednesday. “But, I really do appreciate the support and the confidence the voters have in me to keep moving forward with what we are doing.” Johnson defeated Coalville City Councilor Tyler Rowser for the city’s top position in Tuesday’s municipal election. Johnson received 180 votes to Rowser’s 123, according to preliminary results. Johnson, a 13-year resident and operations manager for a building service company, credited his accomplishments during his first term – completion of a sewer treatment plant, crafting a new master plan for the city’s culinary water system and retaining the Summit County Fair – for the nearly 20 percent margin of victory over his challenger. “I think there is this track record that I have of looking out for what’s best for Coalville,” he said. “In a county that may not align on social issues, I think, I have shown that we have the respect of the Summit County Council and its members and they have mine. We can work through whatever challenges are coming our way.” As Johnson prepares to embark on another four years as mayor, he said the city’s top priorities will be implementing the new master plan for culinary water, restructuring the city’s zoning and building codes and finalizing the details for a new city park. He added, “We will also focus on making sure our streets are well maintained and kept up and not deteriorating. Johnson said property has been Continued from A-1 Art to be discussed “It’s a way for us to think about arts and culture in the context of our community’s priorities,” she said. The surveys used a “purposely inclusive” definition of arts and culture, according to Dynak. “It ranges from public art, the Summit County Fair, live performances, films, activities, local creative businesses, arts education and how arts and culture can be powerful community-development strategies, which can be tools in achieving community priorities,” she said. “We also gathered more than 1,100 signatures, which we are calling a digital high-five in support of am intentional community-wide investment in planning for arts and culture.” The Project ABC Summit will be framed around three core goals -- assemble, build and celebrate. “By assemble, we mean coming together as a complete community,” Dynak said. “By build, we ask people to identified for a park, but city officials are now waiting on the execution of an agreement between the city and the North Summit Recreation District before moving forward with a master plan and exploring funding options. “But, my door is always wide open and my phone is always available,” he added. “If anyone wants to make suggestions, comments or has concerns, feel free to contact me.” City Council In addition to the mayor’s office, two four-year seats were on the ballot in Coalville. Incumbents Cody Blonquist and Rodney Robbins were each re-elected to four-year terms on the City Council after earning 180 and 147 votes, respectively. They defeated Timothy Bristow and Suzanne Boyer, who garnered 127 and 114 votes apiece. Robbins, who is nearing the end of his first term on the City Council, said he was “very grateful” that the community was willing to trust him for another four years. He has lived in Coalville for 20 years and grew up in Henefer. He drives a truck for Associated Food Stores. When asked what he thought resonated with voters the most, Robbins said it was likely his ability to listen to people and his desire to fully research an issue before casting a vote. “I get in-depth,” he said. “I listen to the people of Coalville and I am one to respect their property rights, which, I think, is one of the things that people liked about me.” Robbins’ goals for the coming months resemble those laid out by Johnson, including updating the culinary water system and building a park. He added, “I’d also like to continue beautifying the streets and town.” “We are also getting ready to start working on the city’s ordinances to make it easier for people to build and to do things that they would like to do with their properties,” he said. Attempts to reach Blonquist before press tiem were unsuccessful. The results of Tuesday’s election will not be finalized until the city holds its official canvass, which has not been scheduled. consider our research and comment on it and move together to collaboratively move to action.” Celebrate will be the highlight of the event. “We have some fun interactive arts and culture experiences that will shine the light on our local creativity,” Dynak said. “One of the work groups is chaired by (singer, songwriter and composer) Mary Beth Maziarz. And she is planning some experiences to connect the people at the summit through creative medium and formats. So there are some fun things that are being planned.” Dynak said there will also be a series of open houses that will be scheduled in early 2018 for people who want to but can’t attend the summit. “During these events, we will share what we have heard and showcase some of the plans that are emerging,” she said. “So there will be more community engagement activities before we close out the planning phase. And, we hope by early spring we will move forward to implementation.” The Project ABC Summit will be held form 1-6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 14, in the Park City Hospital’s Blair Education Center, 900 Round Valley Drive at Quinn’s Junction.
