Park City Commission Calls Special Meeting on Closed Session Land Deal, Ordinances

Park City municipal leaders scheduled a special-called commission meeting for Monday, Feb. 23, 2026, that included a closed-session discussion about property, according to local coverage and the meeting notice. The original report named the Feb. 23 special meeting and said the commission planned to move into closed session to discuss the purchase, exchange, or sale of real property.

The city’s official public notice posted Feb. 18, 2026, at 04:20 PM shows a separate regular City Council meeting on Thursday, Feb. 26, 2026, at the Marsac Municipal Building, City Council Chambers, 445 Marsac Avenue, Park City, Utah 84060. "The Council of Park City, Utah, will hold its regular meeting in person at the Marsac Municipal Building, City Council Chambers, at 445 Marsac Avenue, Park City, Utah 84060. Meetings will also be available online and may have options to listen, watch, or participate virtually," the notice states, and it lists a CLOSED SESSION at 1:00 p.m.

The Park City notice cites the Open and Public Meetings Act as the legal basis for the closed session. "The Council may consider a motion to enter into a closed session for specific purposes allowed under the Open and Public Meetings Act (Utah Code § 52-4-205), including to discuss the purchase, exchange, lease, or sale of real property; litigation; the character, competence, or fitness of an individual; for attorney-client communications (Utah Code section 78B-1-137); or any other lawful purpose," the agenda language reads, preserving the statutory categories that permit nonpublic discussion.

Park City’s posted Feb. 26 work session and regular meeting items are explicit and timed: CLOSED SESSION - 1:00 p.m.; WORK SESSION 2:10 p.m. - City Council Liaison Assignments and Protocols; 2:30 p.m. - Discuss Park City Ice Arena: Water Intrusion and Long-Term Facility Strategy; 3:00 p.m. - Utah Renewable Communities Update; 3:30 p.m. - Park and Rides Site Selection Discussion; 4:30 p.m. - 2025 General Plan Implementation: Review the Historic Preservation Board and Planning Commission's Recommended Actions for Implementation of the General Plan in 2026; 5:15 p.m. - Break; REGULAR MEETING - 5:30 p.m., which includes a Green Business Program Partnership Memorandum of Agreement under Staff Communications and a Public Input period.

The public notice lists Michelle Kellogg as the contact for the posting; her email is michelle.kellogg@parkcity.org and the listed phone number is (435) 615-5007. The notice metadata shows it was posted and last edited on February 18, 2026 at 04:20 PM.

The two Park City dates appear in the available records but are not reconciled in the materials provided: the original report referenced a Feb. 23 special-called meeting with a closed-session property discussion, while the official Park City notice documents a Feb. 26 regular meeting with a closed session at 1:00 p.m. The sources do not explicitly state whether the Feb. 23 special-called meeting was separately posted, canceled, or consolidated with the Feb. 26 agenda.

For context on how municipal bodies commonly post closed-session authority language, a City of Vernon, Texas, Facebook notice for a Feb. 18, 2026 special meeting includes similar executive-session statutory citations and specific contract items with Long Range Development, LLC; Vernon’s posting lists Executive Session - §551.071 Consult with City Attorney and agenda items to "Discuss, Consider and Take Possible Action on a water supply contract with Long Range Development, LLC" and a wastewater contract with the same party.

Park City’s notices show council business on facility strategy, renewable communities, transit site selection and General Plan implementation is moving through public and nonpublic channels this month; whether any closed-session discussions on real property result in reportable action will depend on the city’s posted agendas, meeting minutes or formal disclosures following the sessions. The Park City contact listed in the public notice can be reached for clarification and for copies of agendas and minutes.
