Discussed
City Attorney Ryan Wood said the city is getting more requests to build cell towers on city property through lease agreements. The council reached consensus to entertain such applications case by case.
Item 2.2 · Parks
Holbrook Farms Park design
Discussed

Ryan Hales and Josh Gibbons of Hales Engineering said the new plan adds a connector from Redwood Road in Saratoga Springs to I-15 in north Lehi to ease future traffic on 2100 North and Triumph Boulevard. Mayor Johnson said simulation models are still being worked on and that Lehi is not relying on UDOT or MAG to do the studies.
