Two resolutions urging more transportation money for Utah County sat unresolved for more than six months before the Lehi City Council brought them back for discussion Tuesday, Aug. 11.

Resolutions #2026-07 and #2026-08, both sponsored by council member James Harrison, call on state and county officials to direct additional and equitable transportation funding to Utah County. Harrison first placed them on the council's agenda Jan. 27. They never received a vote.

The resolutions returned Aug. 11 as a pre-council working discussion item, according to the city's amended agenda. They cite Lehi's sustained population and employment growth, which is increasing travel demand on Interstate 15, Redwood Road, Mountain View Corridor and key east-west arterials. Utah County's population has reached an estimated 747,234, a 13.3% increase since 2020, according to the resolution text.

City records do not document a reason for the delay.

The funding push fits a broader pattern. In an Aug. 5 Lehi Free Press report on the city's Master Traffic Plan update, Harrison said engineers have concluded that "over the next two or three decades we know that most of the roads in Lehi will fail" to support traffic needs, even with projects like Pioneer Crossing flex lanes and the 2100 North freeway-to-freeway connection.

Because the resolutions remained in pre-council discussion Aug. 11, they still have not reached a formal vote. Lehi City confirmed the session included continued discussion on a proposed transportation funding resolution.

Pasture Walk annexation advances

The council also took up Resolution #2026-47, an intent-to-annex petition for the 4.4-acre Pasture Walk property at approximately 900 North 1000 West. Petitioner Jeanne Walker is seeking to bring the parcel into city limits. Under Utah law, an intent-to-annex resolution is the first formal step, triggering a required notice and protest period before annexation can be completed.

The vote outcome has not been confirmed in publicly available records. Harrison's Facebook recap of the Aug. 11 meeting did not mention the item.

Sign code update tabled again

Ordinance #35-2026, a comprehensive rewrite of Lehi's sign regulations under Development Code Chapter 23, returned to the agenda after being tabled July 28. The Lehi Planning Commission held a public hearing on the amendment July 9 before forwarding it to the council.

Whether the ordinance passed, failed or was tabled a second time Aug. 11 is not confirmed in available records.

The next Lehi City Council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 25, at 7 p.m. Residents can view agendas and submit comments through lehi-ut.gov.
