Where Should Park City Schools Move
Earlier we had written that the Park City School District isn’t considering all ideas regarding rebuilding Treasure Mountain Junior High. We feel that the process is too insular, is not helping solve problems, and isn’t including other parts of government. So, if we were king, what would we do? We would start by moving the entire Kearns …
You are On Your Own With Your Security of Your Home and Valuables
As long-time readers of the Park Rag may remember, our home was broken into in November. The outcome was that thousands of dollars worth of items were stolen. We actually found a clipboard that the thieves left at our house and provided that to the Sherrif’s office. We even went to the extreme step (we’d …
The Park City School District Should Consider Moving Kearns Campus
As we wrote about in a previous article, Mr Putt goes to School Board, we are surprised and disappointed in how insular our various government agencies are. We have traffic issues. We have environmental issues. We have growth issues. How do we start to fix these things? Park City Municipal can’t solve these issues on …
Is Park City Ready for the Next Recession?
Historically, recessions have struck the national economy every 6-7 years. Some are weak like in 1969, while others are powerful like the Great Recession of 2008.

Mr Putt Goes to School Board
One of the best movies of all-time is Mr Smith Goes to Washington. Jimmy Stewart plays an idealistic and naive man who gets appointed to the Senate. When he arrives in Washington D.C. he can’t believe how badly the system actually works. In the end, he launches a filibuster, in a final attempt to make sure land …
With Another Sundance Starting Today…
With another Sundance starting today, we thought this was appropriate on a number of levels. And no, Sundance’s economic impact to Park City isn’t lost on us. It just reminds us that everything has its price.
Tesoro Pipeline On Hold
We just heard on KPCW that the Tesoro pipeline was put on hold on Tuesday. We don’t have any more information than that but as long as oil prices stay low, hopefully Summit County won’t have to worry about the pipeline.
The Likely Outcome With Park City School’s Grade Realignment
Park City School District’s Master Planning Committee has been looking at realigning grades (i.e., shifting which grades are in which school buildings) as part of its exploration of rebuilding Treasure Mountain Junior High School. The committee will then make a recommendation to the Park City School Board. The board then votes on it. During Wednesday’s meeting, the group …
Receiving Areas in The Basin Being Tabled For Now
We just heard from the Summit County Community Development Department and it sounds like they are holding off on the concept of receiving areas in the General Plan Phase 2. There will still likely be some language referencing that they may be considered in the future. It appears the county wants to consider all options …
