Show A-4 The Park Record Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, September 15-18, 2018 Dogs confront a moose Pets apparently picked up scent of the large animal JAY HAMBURGER The Park Record The Park City Police Department in early September responded to a report of a confrontation between two dogs and a moose in Park Meadows, a case that ended without injuries to the animals but one that highlights the potential of problems in a community with expansive habitat for wildlife. The Police Department received the report at a little bit after 4 p.m. on Sept. 6 on Yamaha Court, a small street close to the Park City Municipal Athletic & Recreation Center. Sgt. Jay Randall said a woman who recently moved to the Park City area let two dogs out of a residence with a back patio gate open. He said a large bull moose has been spotted in the neighborhood repeatedly over the past month. The dogs left through the open patio gate, he said. The moose was in a common area of a neighborhood. “They apparently picked up on the scent of the moose,” he said. A neighbor reported the case to the police, indicating the dogs were “kind of antagonizing the moose,” Randall said. The moose kicked in the direction of the dogs but did not make contact, the police were told. The owner of the dogs called them back before the police arrived. The moose was still there when the officers reached the scene. The moose “did not appear to be in distress” afterward, Randall said. Randall said people have re- ported seeing the moose several times in the last 30 days. “The moose has not been aggressive to anybody,” he said. One of the earlier sightings was apparently reported early in the afternoon on Aug. 30, when the police were also called to Yamaha Court. The moose on that day was not causing problems, according to the police. Randall said the Police Department is not considering a citation for the dog owner. The person, though, was warned that a citation would be issued if a similar event occurs, he said. Summit County Animal Control and the state Division of Wildlife Resources were informed of the case. Moose and other wildlife like deer and elk are regularly seen in Park City, and the Police Department is sometimes called to the scene. It is rare, though, for pets to confront the wildlife. Police use Taser on a man Person threw rock at officer’s vehicle, department says JAY HAMBURGER The Park Record Park City police officers subdued a man with a Taser late on Tuesday night after, according to the Police Department, he threw a rock at an officer’s vehicle and refused to follow commands as the police attempted to arrest him. An officer was driving on Deer Valley Drive when he saw the man walking along the road close to the Bonanza Drive intersection. The man was a suspect in a case earlier that evening involving suspected disorderly conduct, Phil Kirk, a police captain, said. The officer turned around to stop the man. Kirk said the officer saw the man pick up what appeared to be rocks before the person started to yell at the officer as the police vehicle approached. The man ran into the road in front of the police vehicle and threw a large rock, narrowly missing the windshield, Kirk said. The man started to walk away. The officer exited the vehicle, walked toward the person and ordered him to stop. The man turned around and yelled obscenities, Kirk said. The officer was unsure whether the man had additional rocks and the man con- tinued to ignore the instructions, prompting the officer to use a Taser against the man, he said. Kirk said the man collapsed after the Taser was used. Two other officers had arrived by then and the man was taken into custody. An ambulance crew checked him before the police booked him into the Summit County Jail on suspicion of aggravated assault and failing to stop at the command of an officer. He was also booked on suspicion of disorderly conduct stemming from earlier in the evening. Kirk said the man was also wanted on a warrant from South Salt Lake on a count of interfering with a public servant. The man is 38 and has no known address. COURTESY OF PARK CITY MUNICIPAL CORP. Park City is preparing to develop another phase of housing in the Woodside Park area. Information about the project will be available at an open house scheduled on Tuesday. Continued from A-3 Projects explained since there will need to be access maintained in some fashion for people who live there. City Hall has not crafted a traffic plan for the time the work is underway.

It seems unlikely that a full closure would be pursued given the importance of the road to the traffic pattern in Park City. The open house offers a chance for someone to learn about a range of municipal projects and programs at a single event. City Hall staffers and consultants man stations as they describe their projects and answer questions from the public. Some of the topics expected to be covered include enforcing municipal codes, City Hall’s social equity efforts and the Park City Police Department’s enforcement in neighborhoods and the agency’s work with homeowners associations. City Hall’s ambitious housing programs could also draw interest at the event. The municipal government is readying another phase of housing in the Woodside Park area along the lower Park Avenue corridor. The upcoming phase is planned to start in 2019 and involve approximately 50 units of workforce or otherwise restricted housing. The housing is planned for the property where the Park City Senior Citizens Center is located, land immediately west of the center and the ground between Woodside Avenue and Empire Avenue on the 1300 blocks of the streets. City Hall staffers and consultants will be available to discuss the housing plans. The event is scheduled on Tuesday from 5 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. in the community room of the Park City Library. A similar open house is scheduled in the spring as the construction season approaches.
