The Lehi City Council meeting held on August 26, 2025, addressed several key topics, focusing on urban development and waste management changes. The meeting commenced with all council members present, and a notable agenda item was the discussion surrounding the potential development of vacant lots in the city.

Council members and developers explored the idea of increasing retail options in the area, emphasizing the need for more residential units to support this growth. A representative from the Boyer Company highlighted the challenges of determining appropriate density for new developments, noting that the current market conditions could shift in the coming years. The discussion included considerations of infrastructure, particularly transportation, which remains a critical concern for the council due to the high volume of traffic passing through Lehi City.

The council expressed the importance of ensuring that any new developments do not compromise existing infrastructure capabilities, particularly regarding water and sewer services. Concerns were raised about fairness in distributing resources among different property developers, as the city navigates its limited capacity for additional residential units.

Another significant agenda item was the discontinuation of the green waste program. The council announced that residents would begin paying year-round for green waste services starting in December, as the previous seasonal program had been discontinued due to the lack of a green waste facility. Residents who do not wish to pay the additional fee can request the removal of their green waste cans.

The meeting also included updates on transportation funding efforts, with a council member reporting on discussions with Representative Burgess Owens regarding securing funds for local transportation projects.

The session concluded with a motion to enter a closed session to discuss imminent litigation and real estate matters, indicating ongoing legal and property considerations for the city.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the council's proactive approach to urban planning and infrastructure management while addressing community concerns about waste management and transportation funding.
