SUMMARY of the NOVEMBER 16 PARK CITY COUNCIL MEETING 

3Kings Water Treatment Facility Concept: Council was presented with several proposed concepts for both the water-treatment and golf-maintenance facilities. The water treatment plant should be completed by 2020. After consideration, Council also decided that housing at the treatment location was not suitable given the safety and security considerations.

Joint Work Session with the Historic Preservation Board: The historic preservation consultant presented findings from her analysis of the City's historic district grant program. Her main takeaway was that users want to be able to apply year-round. There may be advantages, however, to reviewing grant requests quarterly to aid in the program's administration and promotion. Council was very supportive of the program, which aims to continue the tradition of incentivizing and ensuring that historic preservation efforts continue in Park City.

Summit County Strategic Plan, Projects and Facilities Update and 2018 Budget: The County Council updated The Park City Council on the following countywide issues and initiatives:

• Transportation and congestion
• Workforce housing
• Environmental stewardship
• Refining the county's general plans and development codes
• Mental wellness
• The budget (in particular, the county manager's recommended property tax increase)
