City Council: Finance Director appointment
The City Council held a special meeting on July 16, 2026, with two items on the agenda: consideration and approval of the July 9, 2026 meeting minutes, and the appointment of Karyn Henry as Finance Director for Park City Municipal Corporation. No other business or public hearings were scheduled. Minutes have not yet been published, so the outcome of the appointment is not yet confirmed in the official record.
