Clark Ranch Open Space Purchase

On October 9th, City Council approved a Real Estate Purchase Agreement with the Florence Gillmor Estate for approximately 344 acres of property located south of Quinn’s Junction along both sides of Highway 40. The property, historically referred to as ‘Clark Ranch’ by the Gillmor ranching family, represents a significant preservation of Park City’s ‘SR-248 and Highway 40’ entry corridor. Closing on the property is scheduled for December 17th. 

WaterSmart

In the first three months of the program, the WaterSmart platform delivered over 150 leak alerts to Park City residents, 70% of which were taken care of within ten days of the notification.  Other unexpected advantages of the program are that the City can share water consumption data and personalized tips for conserving water, discover and register for rebates, and set water-saving goals.

Utah Ebola Update  

• Utah’s hospitals and public health departments are closely monitoring the situation in both Dallas and   Western Africa.
• Currently, the risk of becoming infected with Ebola virus in Utah is very low.
• Ebola is a serious disease because of its high fatality rate and its ability to spread from person-to-person, however, disease transmission requires direct contact with the bodily fluids of somebody who is symptomatic – the disease is not spread through the air.

2014 No-Cut Coach All-Star Team

Tennis Senior Prostaff member, Tim Donnelly has been recognized as one of the 14 “All Stars” Coaches for “No Cut” High School Team Tennis.  Tim was not only able to include each and every player who came out for the girls tennis team (some 30 players) but the fact that he was able enough to coach all those players to a TEAM STATE TITLE was a remarkable accomplishment! We would like to join you in congratulating Tim and his Assstant Coach Heather Nicholas on this achievement.  Tamarin Espinoza, the new Girls Head coach, has also employed the “no-cut policy” having 32 young players on the high school team this season, as they just swept the Region 10 title this past weekend on their way to the defending the State title.  Congratulations again, Tim!
