In 2014, Park City hired the Zions Public Finance disclosure team to perform a review of the City’s past continuing disclosure compliance during the Securities and Exchange Commissions’ Municipal Continuing Disclosure Cooperative (MCDC) Initiative. Our comprehensive review of the City’s historical disclosure restored its compliance. The City then hired Zions to provide ongoing disclosure services, which include monitoring disclosure compliance; ongoing surveillance for material events; and, preparing and filing the City’s annual disclosure report to the MSRB's Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) website.

UAMPS

In 2005, Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) hired Zions Public Finance to prepare their annual continuing disclosure. UAMPS’ continuing disclosure is complex due to the variety of projects and members who are named as participants in each transaction. Continuing disclosure is not only required for UAMPS as the issuer of bonds, but also participating members as members are named as obligated persons. Under the SEC disclosure rule, obligated persons are subject to continuing disclosure. Currently, Zions Public Finance files UAMPS annual disclosure reports for 14 members as well as the issuer annual disclosure report.

In 2019, Zions was hired to provide disclosure services to the City of Sun Valley. The Zions disclosure team prepared a supplemental document that contains all required content and attached it to the City’s audit report to complete the annual continuing disclosure report. This report was filed on the MSRB's Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) in over a month before the required deadline.
