The Park City Council voted July 22 to adopt a resolution initiating the notice process for a Star Bond project plan for a district identified in meeting materials as "Champtown." Staff cited Kansas statute KSA 12‑17‑166 and said the planning commission met July 21 and passed a resolution finding the project plan consistent with the city's comprehensive plan.

State statute requires the council to give notice that it is considering adoption of a Star Bond project plan and to set a public hearing at least 30 days and not more than 70 days after notice. The council approved the resolution stating the city will hold a public hearing on Aug. 26, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. The resolution and notice must include the project district boundaries, a summary of the feasibility and market studies, a relocation assistance plan and financial guarantees of the prospective developer; staff said those documents are available for inspection at the city clerk's office during regular hours.

Why it matters: Star Bond project plans involve tax increment financing and development incentives governed by state statute; public hearing and notice requirements are statutory steps in the process.

Next steps: Staff will publish the required notice and make the Star Bond project plan materials available for public inspection ahead of the Aug. 26 hearing.
