The council also considered approval of the 2027 Land Bank budget of $53,903 and a proposed zone change for property south of 77th Street North, from RR Rural Residential to R-1 Single-Family (Ordinance #1250-2026). A contract with National Testing Network for police applicant testing was also on the agenda. Minutes from this meeting have not yet been published, so no outcomes are confirmed.

Park Board meeting cancelled

Park City roundup: Zoning, budget, and utility items on recent agendas; Park Board meets today

What was on the table

Park City's advisory boards and City Council held a series of meetings between July 20 and July 28. Because minutes have not yet been published for any of these sessions, this roundup reflects only what appeared on each agenda. No vote tallies or final outcomes are available in the record.

The most consequential items by dollar value were on the July 28 City Council agenda: a proposed contract with Wichita State University Public Policy Management Center for a resident survey not to exceed $12,434, and the purchase of lift station monitoring equipment and software not to exceed $22,110.50.

Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals — July 20

Park City's City Council had a busy two weeks, with agendas covering a proposed $55 million bond package for the Champtown entertainment district, multiple zoning changes, and a new public infrastructure fee.

Champtown STAR Bond project

On July 7, the City Council was set to consider authorizing $55 million in Sales Tax Special Obligation Revenue Bonds for the Champtown STAR Bond Project, along with Sales Tax Special Obligation Revenue Bond Anticipation Notes for the Champtown CID Project.

The council was also scheduled to consider a service agreement renewal with Rep'd for $12,500 and a Transient Guest Tax expenditure of $20,000 for Friends University Wrestling.
