Regarding the new "immediate need" policy for the Park City Cemetery, the Council Minutes show no rational and justification for the change to "immediate need" policy.....
With this in mind, this new "immediate need" policy needs to be revisited and either clearly be justified, or rescinded. The " good intent to provide burials when times were dire" does not include a defensible rational or recognize how it puts others in a disadvantage situation (resulting in a preferential treatment for some...). It would have been clearly fair, to have stayed with a "first come, first served" policy, as even for those in "immediate need," the number of available plots will soon be depleted to zero.
I am writing on behalf of POWDR in support of our community achieving "Zero Waste by 2030.” A commitment to protecting the environment is central to who POWDR is. POWDR is an adventure lifestyle company headquartered in Park City with destinations across North America, including ten mountain resorts, the Woodward youth experiences, Powderbird, Sun Country Tours and Outside TV. We are proud to have opened Woodward Park City in our community last year, introducing the first-of-its-kind, world-class, year-round playground for action sports. And we did so in a sustainable way that includes our ambition to return Woodward Park City to Gorgoza waste levels by 2025. To achieve this aggressive target, we recycled and repurposed on-site materials during construction, we use a food pulper and compost through Wild Harvest Farms, and the kitchen was built to allow the resort to offer no single-use plastics in the F&B operation. Each of POWDR’s businesses is rooted in outdoor experiences, which makes protecting the environment through our corporate responsibility commitment to Play Forever a core value.
At POWDR we understand we have a responsibility to look after the sports we love and the communities we serve for generations to come. We do this by taking a balanced approach and offering experiences that enhance people’s lives while operating our business in a responsible, enduring way. This comes to life through Play Forever, through which we take action to protect the environment and support our communities. As part of this commitment, our properties are working to improve their waste diversion, and community initiatives such as the Park City area’s Zero Waste by 2030 initiative play a key role in achieving our climate goals.
