The Lehi City Council held its regular meeting on October 28, 2025, addressing several notable policy and infrastructure items. The council took up a franchise agreement with SummitIG Utah under Resolution #2025-75, granting the company a nonexclusive right to operate a telecommunications network within Lehi City. Franchise agreements of this type are a standard mechanism cities use to permit private telecommunications providers to use public rights-of-way in exchange for regulatory oversight and franchise fees paid to the city. The council also considered a mid-year budget amendment under Resolution #2025-76, amending the FY 2026 Budget to reflect updated revenue and expenditure projections. Budget amendments are routine at this stage of a fiscal year as actual revenues and project costs become clearer. Additionally, under Resolution #2025-77, the council considered approval of the UAMPS Fremont Solar Project Agreement — an energy supply arrangement through the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems, which provides wholesale power to Lehi and many other Utah municipalities. The Fremont Solar project represents part of Lehi's ongoing effort to diversify its energy portfolio with renewable sources. The meeting also included action on Ordinance #64-2025, which adopted an updated Impact Fee Facilities Plan and Impact Fee Analysis and amended the impact fees applicable to Power system development. Impact fees are one-time charges paid by new development to help offset the cost of expanding city infrastructure. Adjustments to power impact fees typically reflect updated projections of what growth will require from the electrical system, ensuring that new development contributes its proportionate share to the infrastructure it relies upon.
