The Lehi City Council met on July 23, 2024, with public parks emerging as the meeting's central theme. The Council unanimously approved Resolution #2024-43, authorizing an agreement with Parkin Tennis Courts to construct new pickleball courts at Shadow Ridge Park. City officials emphasized that the project will be funded with park impact fees rather than property tax revenue, meaning the cost will be borne by new development rather than existing residents. The Council also approved Resolution #2024-42, awarding a contract to Quicksilver Concrete for citywide concrete removal and replacement services, and granted approval to the Gardner Point Phase 5 plat amendment near 1180 North 3960 West, which relocates a public utility easement to accommodate the next phase of that residential subdivision. A significant portion of the meeting was devoted to a public hearing on the proposed split of the Alpine School District, with council members and residents offering a range of perspectives on what a split could mean for Lehi students, taxpayers, and school facilities. One agenda item was pulled by staff and is scheduled to return at a future meeting. The next regular City Council meeting is scheduled for the following Tuesday, with additional development items and continued discussion of the school district question expected.
