Agenda, item by item
Item Work 2 · Budget
Ice arena and interlocal agreement update
Discussed
Staff said registered users are 15 percent Park City residents and 40 percent Basin residents, with 82 percent cost recovery. The Basin has paid $50,000 a year matched by the city; in 2021 the city asked for $66,000 a year and $275,000 one time, and the Basin agreed to $66,000 only and wanted the three-year review clause removed. Rubell said the agreement should not change and opposed the city taking on the facility as a sole cost center; Dickey called the arrangement inequitable. Council did not want this year's review closed until more discussion. No vote.
- Payment$66,000 to Snyderville Basin Recreation District
Item Work 3 · Roads and utilities
Soil remediation options at the Gordo property
Discussed
Option one would haul soil away for $3.9 to $4.5 million without a permit; option two keeps soil onsite with a liner and requires a permit; option three, recommended, ties cleanup to redevelopment through cleanup programs and could be paused with no removal deadline. Doilney said council supported option three. No formal vote.
- Budget$4.50 million
Item Work 4 · Development
Mine Bench (7700 Marsac Avenue) work plan and RFP
Discussed
The RFP would be open about 3.5 months, prefer a ground lease and use a one-mile waterfall preference. Gerber, Toly and Rubell said no council member should sit on the selection committee. Dickey suggested rents at no more than 60 percent of area median income; Rubell asked to drop the preference for Development Area A, which council agreed to. Residents spoke for and against; one cited open space and wildlife corridor value. No vote.

What residents said
Mine Bench open spaceSpeed limits in neighborhoodsIce arena costs
On the Mine Bench RFP, speakers supported it as a public-private workforce housing partnership or opposed it citing open space. In non-agenda comment, one resident supported a moratorium on applications in a small area under plan review; several others asked council to focus on civility after earlier criticism of two members' shirts.
