Lehi could soon change how it spends roughly $2 million a year in parks and recreation tax revenue. The City Council reviewed proposed PARC Tax policy revisions Monday, Aug. 10, alongside the city's first formal data privacy framework and a hazardous waste disposal briefing that wasn't on the radar a week earlier.

No votes were taken. The session at the Lehi Civic Center Council Chambers, 131 N. 100 E., was discussion-only, but formal action on at least two items could come at upcoming regular meetings. The next is Tuesday, Aug. 25, at 7 p.m.

PARC Tax policy revisions

The council reviewed redlined and clean versions of proposed revisions to the PARC Tax spending policy, as we reported Aug. 5. The voter-approved 0.1% local sales tax, passed in November 2021 and running through March 31, 2032, generated $2,056,569 in fiscal year 2025. The FY2027 budget projects $2 million in PARC revenue, split 70% ($1.4 million) to capital parks projects and 30% ($600,000) to arts programs.

Planned capital projects include upgrades to Sports Park, Bandwagon Park and Willow Park, plus replacement of multiple playgrounds.

The council also discussed PARC Tax grant funding allocations at an April 13 work session, signaling months of active review before Monday's policy discussion. The city has not released a summary of the specific policy changes.

Data privacy policy

The second item was a draft Data Privacy Policy, the first formal data privacy framework to appear on a Lehi City Council agenda. The document is titled "Lehi City Privacy Program Policy DRAFT."

The timing is notable. In February 2026, the Lehi Legacy Center's sports registration software experienced a cybersecurity breach in which an unauthorized party accessed patron data including names, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses and home addresses. The city notified affected patrons in April.

Hazardous waste disposal

Blake Leonelli of Waste Management presented a hazardous waste disposal discussion, an item that did not appear in the Tribune's Aug. 5 preview. Details of Leonelli's presentation, including scope, proposed programs or costs, are not available from the posted agenda materials. The full meeting recording is available on the city's Granicus system.

What's next

Councilor Heather Newall urged residents in the city's Aug. 1 newsletter to attend council and planning commission meetings. Residents who want to weigh in on any of the three items discussed Monday can contact city recorder Teisha Wilson at [email protected] or (385) 201-2269. The next regular council meeting where adoption votes could be scheduled is Tuesday, Aug. 25, at 7 p.m.
