Lehi council unanimously joins interlocal agreement to create a new school district
April 29, 2024, 2:00 p.m. · Council Chamber, 153 N. 100 E., Lehi
The council voted 5-0 to approve an interlocal agreement with other cities in the Alpine School District to prepare a proposal for a new school district that could reach the November ballot. The motion also supports a separate western interlocal with non-overlapping boundaries. The vote authorizes preparation of the filing rather than a final decision, the mayor said.

Interlocal agreement to create a new school district (Resolution 2024-21)
Approved · 5-0
Mayor Johnson said the meeting authorizes preparation for a filing that could put a new-district proposal on the November ballot, not a final decision. Council Member Condie asked about future city obligations and advocacy roles; City Administrator Jason Walker called it uncharted territory. The motion recognizes that a western interlocal is forming with non-overlapping boundaries, expresses Lehi's support for it, authorizes the mayor to sign the agreement and make non-substantial changes, and adds findings: an interlocal lets Lehi voters decide without voters from outside the interlocal, a power cities have that the district does not, whereas a district-placed measure would need a majority across the whole district. No one commented publicly.
