Lehi council member urges residents to follow public health guidance, thanks frontline workers

Chris Condie, a member of the Lehi City Council, urged residents to follow state and federal public health guidance and thanked frontline and city workers for their service during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Condie said he wanted to “express my support for the guidelines that have been issued by our state and national government leaders and medical professionals,” and added that adopting those guidelines in daily routines “will truly help us to slow the spread of the COVID 19 virus.” He also encouraged residents to view a message Mayor Johnson posted on the Lehi City Facebook page.

The council member singled out emergency and city personnel for praise. “I wanted to thank our frontline workers, our police officers, firefighters, paramedics, employees in the information center, public works and power departments, and all the other employees throughout the city,” Condie said, calling their service ‘‘a true blessing’’ to the community and thanking their families.

Condie acknowledged the strain the situation places on residents and city operations, noting “a lot of changes happen in a very short period of time,” but urged unity: “I know that we will get through this together.” He closed by offering thanks and a brief blessing.

No motions, votes or formal council actions were recorded in this message. The remarks were delivered as a public communication from a council member and did not announce new local policy or emergency orders.
