Black Lives Matter plans an event in Park City JAY HAMBURGER The Park Record Black Lives Matter has scheduled an event in Park City on Saturday, June 20, that is also expected to draw participation by the Park City Police Department alongside the demonstrators. The event is outlined in a City Hall communication prepared in anticipation of a Park City Continued from A-3 Recovery predicted gains from the 20.3% unemployment tallied in April in Summit County. May appeared to be an economically weak month in Park City as well, but there was evidence of at least a fledgling beginning of a comeback as some places reopened after the Council meeting that was held on Thursday. The gathering is slated from 4 p.m. until 9 p.m. and will be held at the Olympic Welcome Plaza, a high-profile location at the intersection of Park Avenue and Kearns Boulevard. Sarah Pearce, a deputy Park City manager, included the information as part of a broader list of municipal efforts addressing racial inequities and biases. The information about the event says it is designed to include “a peaceful demonstration as well as educational and informational tables and dialogue.” City Hall staffers have approved the event. Park City Police Chief Wade Carpenter said the agency intends to participate. At least two officers will take part, he said. Carpenter said the event will provide a chance for the officers to outline the department’s community policing efforts as well as offer an outreach opportunity. The event on Saturday is scheduled in the weeks after a demonstration at Dozier Field at Park City High School in tribute to George Floyd, the black man whose death in Minneapolis police custody triggered widespread protests in the nation.

Although the unemployment rate in the resort-driven economy of Summit County does not necessarily track the statewide rate on a month-by-month basis, the numbers across Utah seen in the report on Friday could signal there were geographically broad gains. Knold forecasts the May unemployment rate in Summit County will drop from April but remain elevated. He projects the rate could fall to the range of 15% in May with a further reduction in June. He predicted the 20.3% in April will be the bottom unless there is a significant reemergence of the coronavirus. He described the April unemployment report as the “high point” in the losses. “The numbers aren’t going to get worse in May,” he said. Knold predicted the monthly reports will continue to improve in 2020, starting with gains in May and June. He said the improvements, though, will not result in a so-called V-shaped recovery, meaning the creation of jobs essentially occurs as quickly as the losses. He described the jobs recovery in the Park City area could be solid but “not a complete V.” “Is that ‘V’ going to go all the way back to the starting point. ... Probably not,” he said.
