Resolution 2024-04-11R. Frost read a statement saying the city wanted a ballot option it thinks best for residents, a day before the Alpine School District board was to vote on splitting. Taylor said he would like to include Pleasant Grove; John said American Fork and Lehi must stay together. Legal counsel Cherylyn Egner said leaving the interlocal later would ripple across all members.
