Park City Council convenes a regular meeting Thursday, March 5 at 4:30 p.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall to weigh a proposed memorandum of understanding that would realign Munchkin Road and create a larger City-owned lot at 1825 Woodbine Way. The City Brief states, “The Council will consider authorizing the Acting City Manager to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with 1251 Kearns, LLC and Emporium Properties, LLC to realign Munchkin Road and create a larger City-owned lot at 1825 Woodbine Way.”

The March 5 docket also opens with a work session on a potential Property Encroachment Policy. The City Brief notes, “During the work session, the Council will review national research and discuss various features of a potential policy that addresses encroachments on City property.” The municipal notice directs readers to “View the full City Council agenda for March 5.”

Park City will host a joint meeting with the Summit County Council Friday, March 6 at 9:00 a.m. in the same Council Chambers. Agenda topics are expected to include a “recap of the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics” and “a discussion about the proposed new senior center along Park Avenue,” according to the City Brief.

That intergovernmental framing builds on material recorded in draft joint minutes from March 22, 2024, which carry the City Council Chambers header at 445 Marsac Avenue. The DRAFT minutes show Park City elected leaders present at that meeting including Mayor Nann Worel and Council Members Bill Ciraco, Ryan Dickey, Ed Parigian, Jeremy Rubell, and Tana Toly, with city staff listed as Matt Dias, Margaret Plane, and Michelle Kellogg. Summit County participants in the excerpt included Chair Malena Stevens (via Zoom), Council Member Roger Armstrong, and Council Member Canice Harte.

The March 22, 2024 DRAFT minutes capture regional debate about Olympics-linked investments and transportation. “Council Member Ciraco referred to the comment that the state wouldn’t spend a lot of money for a 17-day event. He noted sustainability was a top priority for the IOC, and he thought communities needed to be identified that had those efforts in place,” the draft records. The minutes also record that “Hilton indicated he would work with the respective communities on their wish lists in order to provide projects that wouldn’t have happened if the Games didn’t occur.”

Regional traffic and project support surfaced in the same draft. “Council Member Armstrong thought the project would alleviate traffic on SR224 and noted the severe congestion that currently existed. He indicated the Mayflower project was coming and people would opt to go there instead of sitting in traffic congestion to go to Park City,” the minutes say. The record shows Council Member Ciraco “favored submitting a letter of support for this phase of the process,” and Mayor Worel noted the Regional Transportation Convening was willing to sign a letter as well.

Alongside policy and intergovernmental items, the City Brief lists community programming and municipal policy updates. Bonanza Flat by Moonlight is scheduled Tuesday, March 3 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at PC MARC. The City Brief describes the 2026 Leadership Symposium as “a full-day civic and leadership event produced by Leadership Park City,” adding that “Through keynotes, panels, and interactive sessions, attendees will gain insights into local challenges and practical tools for leadership.” On policy, the brief recalls that “In October 2025, the City Council approved moving forward with a waste reduction ordinance for Park City,” and that “The ordinance includes requirements for Park City businesses and waste haulers, including businesses that haul their own recycling.”

Park City’s Granicus archive continues to host agendas, minutes, audio, and packet materials for past meetings — entries show examples such as a Joint City Council and Planning Commission meeting March 15, 2022 lasting 03h 39m and a City Council meeting March 23, 2023 lasting 03h 08m — a reminder that agenda packets and audio for March 5 and the March 6 joint session will likely be posted in the city’s records. The decisions on March 5 and March 6 could move the Munchkin Road realignment and the proposed Park Avenue senior center from discussion into action.
