Agenda, item by item
Item Pre-council 2.1 · Parks
Park concept plan discussion
Discussed
Parks Manager Steve Marchbanks presented concept ideas for a park with large open space, minimal turf, walking paths and a shade structure. Council Member Katie Koivisto worried about putting early-stage plans on the agenda because they may not come to fruition and that frustrates residents; the mayor and other members said it was fine to review concepts.
Item Pre-council 3 · City code
Campaign finance disclosure timing
Discussed
City Attorney Ryan Wood said state code does not allow financial disclosure changes in the middle of an election, so an ordinance could pass but would not take effect until the next election.
Item 4 · City code
Cemetery burial procedures (Ordinance 55-2021)
Approved · 4-0
Shaun Winters described minor changes to burial procedures at the Lehi City Cemetery; the council amended Section 8-7-5 of the municipal code.
Item 5 · City code
Campaign finance disclosure requirements (Ordinance 54-2021)
Tabled · 4-0
Council Member Paul Hancock said, because Lehi votes by mail, voters can return ballots before candidates' finances are disclosed, and a new date would add transparency. Members discussed whether 'soft money' should be covered and how it would be enforced. Aaron Bullen raised enforcement concerns; Jesse Riddle said his main concern with soft money is when a developer is involved. The council tabled the ordinance to the next meeting and told staff to be more specific on the deadline and add language on disclosing soft money if a candidate knows of it.

Approved with conditions · 4-0
Council Member Katie Koivisto disclosed a conflict of interest on this item; the minutes record her voting yes. A neighbor said the previous owner had agreed to build a concrete fence like the one on the south side of her property, and the applicant agreed to follow through. Matt Bailey urged close scrutiny of such developments for their effect on quality of life. The council approved a 35-unit townhome PUD on one lot with that fence condition.
