Main Street Area Plan Update
The Main Street Area Plan (MSAP) team will provide a written update on the project’s progress.

A public Open House on MSAP is expected to be held this fall, date TBD. View agenda item here.
Ranked Choice Voting Update
Park City has been exploring the possibility of shifting municipal elections to ranked choice voting (RCV). RCV involves voters numerically ranking candidates in order of their preference, rather than just selecting one choice. Councilors will receive a legislative update from Utah Ranked Choice Voting representatives, continue their policy discussion, and provide direction to the City Recorder about RCV. View agenda item here.
China Bridge Structural Assessment Report
The Council will receive a written communication summarizing the China Bridge Parking Structure Condition Assessment and the 5-Year Capital Improvement and Protection Plan. China Bridge is a major 580-stall parking facility owned by the municipality. View agenda item here.
