Greening of Park City, Utah

Looks like Park City, Utah is going green. Tom Bakaly, the city manager of this ski resort town in northern Utah, created a Sustainability Team comprised of 2 groups; a Sustainability Visioning Team and a Sustainability Implementation Team. Bakaly also appointed two full-time individuals to execute the town’s sustainability objectives. Alison Butz and Phyllis Robinson accepted the positions of Envrionmental Affairs and Project Manager and Community and Public Affairs Managers respectively. The two will now join Patrick Putt, the Planning Director and third member of the Sustainability Visioning Team. The efforts come as part of the town’s effot to reflect community priorities and City Council goals relating to ‘creating a sustainable community’. No real clear objectives appear to be delineated quite yet other than providing a consultative role to the community and City Council as to the impact of City actions and initiatives.
