Agenda, item by item
Item 2.1 · Presentation
Alpine School District update
Discussed
Alpine School District board representatives Stacy Bateman and Joylyn Lincoln reviewed Lehi schools, saying enrollment is balanced between the two high schools, junior high enrollment is growing, and two elementary schools exceed 1,000 students and may need reconfiguration or new construction.
Item 4 · Parks
Administrative report: pedestrian access to Family Park
Discussed
Community Development Director Kim Struthers said the city is negotiating six-foot-wide pedestrian access points into the eastern portion of Family Park with adjacent property owners, which will need an amended plat and a Planning Commission hearing on Jan. 23.
Item 3.2 · Other

Water Division Manager Greg Allred said a UV-cured lining process will rehabilitate about 3,400 feet of sewer main.
- ContractAmount not given to C&L Water Solutions
Item 5 · Roads and utilities
Resolution 2025-03: Willow Park box culvert agreement with Geneva Rock
Approved · 4-0
Allred said the project removes a 60 or 72-inch steel pipe installed at reverse grade that backs up the waste ditch during runoff, replacing it with a box culvert matching others in the ditch to lower the flow line and improve flood control.
- ContractAmount not given to Geneva Rock
Item 6 · Parks
Resolution 2025-01: second amendment to Utah County agreement for the Dry Creek Lake Regional Recreation Area
Approved · 4-0
City Engineer Lorin Powell said the project includes restrooms, a four-plex and fishing areas, has flood control as its primary purpose, and is funded by the county's tourism tax. The minutes record the council approving 4-0, but the motion text printed under this item refers to Ordinance 67-2024 and appears to be a transcription error.
- GrantAmount not given to Utah County
Item 7 · Roads and utilities
Resolution 2025-05: easement with Geneva Rock Products on Flight Park Road
Approved · 4-0
Assistant City Engineer Brad Kenison said the easement relates to the Alta Vista development, which needs a second public access once it reaches 50 units. The only access is Mountain Point Boulevard, so the easement lets the city build a second access on gravel Flight Park Road.
- Land dealAmount not given to Geneva Rock Products
Item 8 · Zoning
Ordinance 01-2025: Gordon zone change, 860 North 2300 West
Approved with conditions · 4-0
The applicants asked to rezone 1.63 acres from A-1 to R-1-22 and Neighborhood Commercial, allowing a residential lot at the back and keeping the front for a possible daycare. A prior development agreement limits the commercial use to a daycare. Council Member Michelle Stallings raised safety concerns about the flag lot and was told it would meet standards and give better fire access. Trailer storage on the property is out of compliance and must be corrected before the zone change is recorded.
- Acres: 1.63
- Current zone -> proposed: A-1 -> R-1-22 and Neighborhood Commercial
- Conditions: Development Review Committee comments; existing trailer storage must comply before recording

Item 10 · Zoning
Ordinance 02-2025: public facility rezone 2024
Approved with conditions · 4-0
Struthers presented a rezone of several city-owned properties, including the Family Park property, to a public facility designation so they remain in public use and are easy to identify on the zoning map. The mayor noted gaps between parcels in the Family Park area and suggested consolidating them. A small pedestrian access parcel still being resolved was excluded.
Item 11 · Appointment
Resolution 2025-04: Metropolitan Water District of Lehi trustees
Approved · 4-0
