City Council Work Session - May 2024

Meeting Summary

The Lehi City Council held its monthly work session on May 7, 2024, with all councilmembers present. The primary action item was consideration of Resolution #2024-22, which amended the Construction Management Agreement (CMGC Services Agreement) with SIRQ Construction. Project Manager Lisa Webster explained the amendment was intended to clarify that subcontractors listed in the guaranteed maximum price were not finalized selections, allowing the city greater flexibility in the construction process. The council moved to approve the resolution. Beyond the SIRQ amendment, council members reviewed departmental budget requests and discussed city priorities for the coming fiscal year. A recurring theme was the need for caution about committing to new programs that would carry long-term operational costs. The council also discussed strategies to improve law enforcement recruitment, an ongoing challenge for many Utah municipalities. Work sessions are non-voting deliberation sessions designed to allow the council to explore topics in depth before formal action at regular meetings. The May 7 work session served as a preliminary touchpoint before the regular council meeting scheduled later in the month.
