Park City leaders detail personal business interests
Mayor Jack Thomas and the five members of the Park City Council have filed affidavits outlining business interests or affiliations that present the potential of a conflict of interest with their roles at City Hall.
The affidavits, which are required of the elected officials, contain information similar to those filed in the past, but it is also the first time City Councilors Nann Worel and Becca Gerber submitted the forms as elected officials. Worel and Gerber won City Council seats in 2015 and took office in early 2016.
The affidavits require that an elected official list firms in which they have an ownership interest of at least 10 percent and that are regulated by City Hall or plan to have a business relationship with the municipal government. They also require the elected officials list investments or personal interests that could create a conflict of interest as well as declare whether they intend to represent people or businesses in transactions involving City Hall.
Some of the highlights of the affidavits include:
Park City police summoned after tip jar taken on Main Street
The Park City Police Department in March issued a visitor from the Midwest a citation for a suspected theft in a case involving what the agency describes as the attempted taking of a tip jar on Main Street.
