The Police Department over the years regularly has received similar complaints about parties, noise and loud music from across the community, but there is added attention this year at the height of the summer-tourism season and with the continued danger of the illness. Park City in recent weeks has appeared to be busier than at any point since the spread of the sickness forced an early end to the ski season in March. “That is an ongoing concern,” Phil Kirk, a police captain, said about the parties, noting there is a greater danger of the spread of the coronavirus if there are gatherings inside. Public police logs did not provide details about the cases, and it is unknown to what extent the people at the parties were wearing masks or practicing social distancing. If it appears there is a violation of a health order, Kirk said, the police will convey the issue to the party-goers and the host. Kirk said he is not aware of the Police Department issuing a citation based on a suspected violation of a health order. Some of the recent reports included: • on Sunday, July 19 at 11:08 p.m., the police were told of a party on Pinnacle Drive with loud music and car horns. The person who reported the case was located several houses away from the noise, the police were told. • at 1:46 a.m. on July 19, someone reported neighbors had “been yelling for a while” and a party might be occurring on Solamere Drive. • at 12:21 a.m. on July 19, the police received a report of a gathering that was described as a “wild party” on Park Avenue. • on Saturday, July 18 at 9:32 p.m., officers were called to Lily Langtry Court, where an unknown number of people reportedly gathered for what “sounds like a concert,” the police were told. There was clapping and cheering, the person told the police, describing that a band was using amplifiers. • on July 18 at 8:20 p.m., a party was reported somewhere along Lucky John Drive. The music was “really loud” and the person who contacted the police could hear the music from across a golf course, according to department logs. • on Tuesday, July 14 at 11:21 p.m., the police received a complaint from someone in Deer Valley about “loudness coming” from an unknown location. The person told the police it sounded like “a substantial group of people.” • on Monday, July 13 at 10:45 p.m., the police were told of a party outside on Homestake Road.

C O M NEW FRESH A mask dispute reported JAY HAMBURGER The Park Record The Park City Police Department in mid-July received reports of two unrelated disputes involving people who were not wearing masks and others who wanted them to wear one, two more incidents in a series of cases that has stretched since the spread of the novel coronavirus in the community. One of the cases was reported on the Rail Trail, a popular recreation location for runners, walkers and bicyclists. The Rail Trail case was logged on July 17 at a little bit before 10 a.m. Phil Kirk, a police captain, said one of the people involved is a 46-year-old man from Heber City, while the other one is described as a man in his early 30s who is 5 feet, 10 inches tall and has dark hair. The man from Heber City was not wearing a mask while running on the Rail Trail, Kirk said. The other person, who was wearing a mask, yelled at the Heber City man about not wearing one twice, as they passed each other headed in opposite directions both times, Kirk said. Public police logs indicated the other person used swear words. In the other case, reported on July 15 at approximately 12:30 p.m., the police were told an un- masked person entered a building on Park Avenue. The person “has been asked to wear a mask repeatedly and will not,” according to public police logs. Kirk said the police learned the person is medically exempted from wearing a mask. The cases in mid-July followed others since the middle of March that involved complaints about people without masks. In one of the earlier incidents, the police were called to a health club after a dispute between two men that centered on one of them not wearing a mask. There has also been a series of reports to the police from people worried about others not practicing social distancing.
