Forebay Recreation Area conservation easement discussion
Discussed
The council reviewed a conservation easement in which Lehi would hold the easement (grantee) and Payson City would remain owner (grantor) of the Forebay recreation area. Struthers said it mirrors how Draper holds Lehi's easement and that the council's earlier conservation action helped inspire Payson. It was scheduled for approval on Dec. 16.
