City Council minutes
Every Park City City Council meeting and work session since 2020, newest first: what was on the agenda, what the council decided, and links to the official minutes, agenda and video for each.
How minutes work. Minutes are the official record of a meeting. The council approves them at a later meeting, so the newest meetings have only an agenda, or draft minutes, until then. Meetings marked Approved minutes are written from that approved record. Ones marked Agenda only describe what was scheduled; we add the results once the minutes are posted.
