Mayor Andy Beerman led the group onto the long-disputed acreage where the Treasure partnership wanted to build a major development before reaching a conservation agreement that depends on a November ballot measure needed to raise the funds for the deal. The group did not discuss the Treasure deal during the hike. Adriane Herrick Juarez, who is the Park City Library director and helped coordinate the hike, says it was an “eye-opening visit to the piece of property.” Continued from A-1 Financing detailed 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.

That would be accomplished by City Hall issuing a bond against the monies raised in the slight increase. Open space is one of the items the sales taxes collected through the slight increase may be put toward. The mayor and City Council are scheduled to hold a critical meeting on Thursday about the options. It seems almost certain the elected officials will signal whether they want to add the $3 million for the Thaynes Canyon deal to the Treasure ballot measure since deadlines are approaching for that election.

The plan shows the next phases occurring two to 10 years later. A new softball field, parking, trails connections, a gazebo near the multi-purpose building, concrete plazas, pathways, and a playground will eventually replace the western ballfield, grandstand and rodeo warm-up arena. The design relocates the rodeo and warm-up arena to the new parcel, along with an overflow parking lot for contestants. The carnival and vendors would be relocated to the space currently occupied by the rodeo and warm-up arenas, while the existing fairgrounds would feature permanent animal shelters, an outdoor amphitheater and pavilion, and a multi-pur- 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 seems as though the elected officials will at least take a straw poll regarding the two options unless they craft another funding strategy at the meeting. The meeting on Thursday will be the first scheduled opportunity for the public to be in attendance to monitor the talks about adding the Thaynes Canyon deal. The elected officials first spoke about the topic publicly last Thursday in an unscheduled discussion. It is unclear what sort of reaction the talks will receive. Some could be pleased with the addition of a significant parcel like Snow Ranch Pastures to the Treasure discussions. Others, though, could be concerned about the possibility of the higher numbers threatening the passage of a ballot measure that was centered solely on Treasure until the past week. The meeting on Thursday is scheduled to start at 3:15 p.m. at the Marsac Building with the discussion about Treasure and Snow Ranch Pastures slated to start at 4:15 p.m. Forty-five minutes have been set aside for the discussion.

It will feature a parade along Coalville’s Main Street, rodeo, demolition derby and carnival. A free shuttle service will be provided from Park City to Coalville by the Park City Chamber/Bureau on Aug. 4, 10 and 11. “It’s the old historic classic fair you would expect from your childhood,” English said. Tickets for one of the most popular events — the Demolition Derby — are already sold out. But, tickets are still available for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Rodeo. Adult tickets are $13 and admission for children ages 4-14 is $7. “Tickets can be purchased online and you will want to buy them as soon as possible because they are selling quickly and we do expect to sell out,” said Krachel Murdock, Summit County’s public information officer. Carnival tickets can be purchased at the gate. The carnival will open on Wednesday, Aug. 8, at 4 p.m. For a full schedule of events or to purchase rodeo tickets, go to http:// summitcountyfair.org/. Two recent Park City High School graduates prosecutors say harassed another person during a gym class in the spring pleaded guilty to charges Monday. Carter Noah Hall, 18, pleaded guilty to disruption of activities in or near a school building, a class A misdemeanor. Joseph Harper Lukrich, also 18, pleaded guilty to a class A misdemeanor count of disrupting the operation of a school. Both were pleas in abeyance, meaning the charges against Hall and Lukrich will be dismissed in one year if they meet the conditions in their plea agreements. Lukrich had originally been charged with a class A misdemeanor count of sexual battery, while Hall faced charges of sexual battery and stalking, both class A misdemeanors. A third graduate involved in the Continued from A-1 Bitner Road idea returns ly on the affordable housing component, Councilors agreed to seriously consider the project. County Council members Chris Robinson and Doug Clyde agreed to meet with the developer and county staffers to discuss it further. According to a planning department staff report, the number of units and layout of the plan did not change after additional meetings with staff and elected officials. But, the developer agreed to increase the number of restricted units to target more income levels. All of the units will be for rent. Vincent Criscione, the developer, has consistently shown a willingness to provide more affordable housing units than what is required by the Basin’s development code. Criscione has also expressed a desire to partner with the county to provide an electric-bike station and other ride-share programs to reduce traffic in the area.

Prosecutors claimed the trio engaged in inappropriate behavior against another person during a weightlifting class in May. According to court documents, Hall and Lukrich sat on the person’s face while the person was laying on a bench, and Hall pulled down the person’s pants and made a threatening remark to them. As part of their plea agreements, Hall and Lukrich are each required to pay a $500 fee, complete 50 hours of community service at a nonprofit, write a letter of apology to the victim, write a paper about the effects of bullying and commit no violations of the law, according to court documents. Attorneys representing Hall and Lukrich did not respond to requests for comment. Pederson’s attorney, Greg Skordas, previously told The Park Record that he didn’t believe the defendants’ behaviors amounted to illegal acts and that the police should not have pursued it as a criminal matter. and felt a mixed-use project would add more traffic to the area. The application the County Council is reviewing on Wednesday requests to rezone the property from rural residential to community commercial to allow for more development. The property is currently zoned to allow one residential unit per 20 acres. In a community commercial zone, multi-family residential units are allowed through a conditional-use permit process. The County Council is cautiously approaching the request because of the precedent it could set for future projects in the Basin. Lincoln Station is among the first development applications that has been considerably vetted to determine whether it violates the General Plan’s Policy 2.3 that restricts new development or if the affordable housing element is enough to warrant approval. The affordable housing component was critical to the Planning Commission’s approval and has been the focus of most discussions. “We want to make sure that we get the benefit of the bargain,” Robinson said in June. “Have we reached that tipping point that throws this into upzoning this density?” County staffers are recommending the Council either continue the item to allow more time to review the development agreement or move forward with approval. A hearing is scheduled on Wednesday at 6 p.m. in the Sheldon Richins Building. The item is listed as a public hearing with the possibility of approval. 2016. Just weeks after Trump’s inauguration in early 2017, the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement apprehended four people in Park City wanted on felony counts. The operation resulted in widespread worries in the Latino population and at City Hall, and it had the effect of setting a tone locally about the politically charged issue of immigration in the early days of the presidential administration. The meeting on Thursday is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. in the City Council’s chambers at the Marsac Building. A hearing is planned prior to the City Council vote on the resolution.
