Agenda, item by item
Item 2.1 · Presentation
Paintball tournament fundraiser for first responders (pre-council)
Discussed
Sterling Bronson proposed a paintball tournament benefiting the fire and police departments, asking no city money but support in keeping the rodeo grounds for the event. The council liked the idea and suggested he work with the events coordinator.
Item 2.2 · Presentation
Pressurized irrigation water update (pre-council)
Discussed
Public Works Director Dave Norman said snowpack was 70 percent of normal and soil saturation 25 percent of normal after a dry summer, so much melt would soak in before running off. The water department said the surplus water Lehi has bought from Salt Lake's metropolitan district in dry years is unlikely this year. The city formed an outreach committee on conservation.
