Lehi City Council meets in closed session on city attorney employment; no reportable action

At a special meeting Aug. 19, 2025, the Lehi City Council met in closed session to discuss the employment of the city attorney; there was no reportable action, the city attorney said.

The closed session was held under California Government Code provisions that permit private meetings on personnel and labor matters. The council convened the closed session after confirming there were no public commenters on the agenda items; city staff had earlier noted that public comment was limited to items on the agenda under California Government Code section 54954.3 and that each speaker would have three minutes.

After the closed session, the city attorney or deputy city attorney told the council, "As to item B-1, the city council met in closed session pursuant to government code section 54957.6. There is no reportable action as to that item." Stephanie VanStein, the city's human resources director, confirmed the account and said, "Council provided direction to staff, but there is no reportable action." The transcript identifies the closed-session item as B-1 and cites Government Code section 54957 (subdivision (b)(1)) regarding the employment matter.

No formal motions or public votes were taken during the special meeting; the meeting record shows the council gave staff direction during the closed session but did not take an action that must be reported publicly. With that, the council adjourned the special meeting.

The meeting record does not specify further details about the personnel matter discussed, any proposed changes to employment terms, or a timetable for future public action on the item.
