The properties were owned by Sedgwick County. Sedgwick County Commission Chairman David Dennis said he was “thrilled with the sale of these two properties.” “I look forward to seeing this area develop in the future under the ownership of Mr. Ruffin Fourth of jolly and Mr. Stevens,” he said.

The current ordinance excludes all city officers except for the city administrator and city treasurer. The city can hire someone from outside the city for those positions but their employment is contingent upon moving to Park City. Council member Brandi Baily said she believes the city administrator should be a resident. “I think for any position within the city its OK for them to not live in the city — except when it comes to the city administrator,” said Baily. “I feel like the city administrator should be in the community that they’re helping to run and build up. I just feel like they’re the face of the city along with the mayor.” Council members Tom Jones, Ben Sauceda and Melvin Kerr seemed to agree with Baily on that matter. Council member George Capps was also vocal about believing city officers should be residents. “I was under the requirement to live here and I guarantee you I lived here, I shopped here and I loved this community,” said Capps. “I’ve had people come to my house PAGE 4 AUGUST 2018 • PARK CITY POST BEST OF THE BLOTTER July 21 — Park City Of- Gary Palmer and Christopher Highlights from July 2 — Park City Sgt. vehicle during the rain.

Grass in the street

This is a reminder to the residents of Park City. The clean water act prohibits the introduction of grass clippings into the stormwater system. Code enforcement has noticed that people have been mowing their lawns and blowing their grass clippings into the street. When you are mowing, mow away from the street or pick up the grass clippings that blow into the street. The water that runs off the street and into the Ice cream social gutters eventually ends up in the lakes and streams. 6 p.m. Aug. 4 Thanks for your help in keeping our water safe.
