SUMMARY of the AUGUST 15 PARK CITY COUNCIL MEETING
|
IN THE WORK SESSION
Discussion Regarding Electric Bicycles on Natural Surfaces
City staff received several requests from members of the public for allowing e-mountain bikes on trails, especially for riders of a certain age and with different abilities. Currently, e-mountain bikes (e-mtbs) are prohibited on Park City’s single-track trails, except for those with mobility disabilities. At the meeting, significant public comment and discussion was recorded both for and against the use on trails. As a result, staff recommended a public survey to better gauge community sentiment regarding use of e-mountain bikes Some of those aspects include: overall community sentiment towards e-mountain bike use on trails, designated trails for e-mountain bike use, a permit system for users with varying abilities or disabilities, age exceptions, and an e-mountain bike trail pilot project. This item is tentatively scheduled to return to Council on August 29 with possible temporary amendments to the Non-Motorized Trail ordinance so as to study some of the proposed changes.

2019 Wildfire Season Update
City staff prepared an update regarding the wildfire season thus far. We are currently moving through a relatively dry August, and while significant snow fall during the 2018-2019 winter helped maintain higher moisture content and lower wildfire risk overall, Summit, Wasatch, Salt Lake, and Utah counties have experience a number of small fires. The Great Basin Coordination Center (GBCC) forecasts little to no to low risk for the region for the subsequent seven-day period. This report is informational and no recommendation is proposed at this time. This report will be updated monthly during wildfire season, or more often as required by conditions.
