Item 4.1 · Contract
Agreement with Hughes General Contractors for the public works storage building
Pending
Resolution 2026-67 would approve a base-bid agreement of $10,298,426 with Hughes General Contractors, Inc. of North Salt Lake for the Public Works Storage Building (Package 02, building construction). Staff say the public works campus has reached capacity and that a 2022 study found more office and storage space is needed. The city chose a concrete building it expects to last 50 years at minimum and possibly 100 or more, and built the first phase around protecting city equipment from winter weather. Work is to finish within three months of the effective date, with monthly payment on invoice. Hughes must provide performance and payment bonds for 100 percent of the contract. The packet puts the cost of all phases at $12,411,256, including $1,518,816 for excavation and backfill the city approved earlier and $594,014 for design, engineering and construction management. The agenda lists this as a consent item.

Item 6.1 · Budget
Fiscal year 2026-27 budget amendment
Pending
After a public hearing, the council is to consider Resolution 2026-63 amending the 2026-27 budget. The first amendment adds $1,118,400 in new allocations. It carries over capital projects not finished by June: $20,000 for the cemetery, $36,000 for recreation center capital and $150,000 for power capital outlay, all from fund balance. It adds $425,000 from Culinary Water reserves for a waterline along 2300 West, because the Utah Department of Transportation's flex lane project across Pioneer Crossing moved the timeline up. It also adds $158,000 for park clean-up near encroachments, funded by proceeds from owners who bought park land their improvements had encroached on, and $2,700 for America 250 events. The rest is $25,000 in reserves for repairs to the city's ladder truck and a building, $300,000 in reserves to evaluate and estimate costs for remodeling Station 81 and the city court facilities, and a $1,700 library donation received in 2026 but spent in 2027.

Item 6.2 · Development
Concept plan for four townhomes at 58 South 300 West
Pending
The council is asked to approve a concept plan that would add four two-story attached units on 0.46 acre while keeping the existing home, for five dwellings in all, or just under 11 units per acre. Each townhome would have three bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms and one covered parking space. All four would be rentals under single ownership. The staff report says the site is zoned Mixed Use and downtown density is available, but recent code changes require 30 percent of housing to be platted for individual ownership and half of the interior floor area to be non-residential. Staff say an all-residential layout would not meet code without a code amendment or a development agreement. The Development Review Committee also noted power, storm water and fire-truck turnaround requirements. The Planning Commission reviewed the plan Oct. 8; its motion is in the packet but was not available in the text reviewed. A concept plan does not vest.
- Area: 0.46 acre
- Zone: Mixed Use (MU); General Plan: Mixed Use
- New units: 4 townhomes, plus 1 existing home
- Review: Development Review Committee Sept. 23; Planning Commission Oct. 8
Item 6.3 · Zoning
Zone change from Mixed Use to Heavy Commercial at 802 West State Street
Pending
The council is to consider Ordinance 49-2026 changing the zoning of 802 West State Street from Mixed Use to Heavy Commercial. The agenda lists the area as 0.72 acre, though the legal description in the ordinance exhibit states 1.819 acres. The applicant, Lawrence Snow, plans to combine the parcel with two adjacent Heavy Commercial parcels he owns. The General Plan designates the area Heavy Commercial, and the Development Review Committee found the request consistent with it. The Planning Commission reviewed the request Oct. 8.
- Applicant: Lawrence Snow
- Acres: 0.72 per agenda (1.819 per legal description)
- Current zone → proposed: Mixed Use → Heavy Commercial
- Ordinance: 49-2026
Item 6.4 · Annexation
Annexation of 2.68 acres near 1300 South 1700 West
Pending
After a public hearing, the council is to consider Resolution 2026-64 approving an annexation agreement and Ordinance 50-2026 annexing 2.68 acres with R-1-22 zoning on about 0.5 acre and TH-5 (townhome) zoning on about 2.18 acres. The land is part of a county island and is annexed by resolution; the council accepted the petition Sept. 22 and the Planning Commission reviewed the zoning Oct. 8. The General Plan designation is Very Low-Density Residential Agriculture. The agreement requires water-right dedication of 0.79 acre-feet per acre of culinary and 2.90 acre-feet per acre of irrigation water before the plat is recorded, replacement of Rocky Mountain Power service with Lehi City Power at the owners' expense, possible road dedication, Right to Farm notices on plats, and developer-paid utility extensions. The ordinance states no protests were filed. The agreement document is titled "Pasture Walk Annexation" and its property-description exhibit is blank in the packet.
- Acres: 2.68 (0.5 R-1-22; 2.18 TH-5)
- Zoning: R-1-22 and TH-5
- General Plan: Very Low-Density Residential Agriculture
