Steve Joyce, a first-term member of the Park City Council, said on Friday he will not seek reelection later in 2021, creating a seat on the ballot without an incumbent vying for another term.
Joyce, 59 and a former member of the Park City Planning Commission, said he is considering spending a year in Europe after having lived in Park City for 17 years. It would be an “adventure,” he said.
Joyce said he would have sought reelection if he was committed to staying in Park City during the four-year term.
He said he is willing to talk to people considering a campaign about service as a city councilor.
The City Council seat held by Tim Henney is also on the ballot. Henney has said he plans to seek a third term. First-term Mayor Andy Beerman has not indicated whether he will seek reelection later this year.

Park City candidates cautioned not to speak publicly about PCMR, Deer Valley developments
Park City Attorney Margaret Plane recently sent a memo to elected and appointed officials, as well as candidates in the City Hall election, cautioning them about making public statements regarding development proposals. The memo outlines that stands on planning and zoning matters could jeopardize a later process, such as when a decision by the Planning Commission is put to the City Council through an appeal.
