Lehi holding steady with its budget

By Linda Petersen
LEHI -- Lehi's city council has approved the city budget for 2017-2018.

"The proposals presented for funding in this budget reflect the needs of our rapidly growing community and focuses funding on the goal set forth by the council of helping Lehi continue to develop as a family‐centric community," Mayor Bert Wilson said in his introduction to the budget.

"We need more time for our Parks Impact Fee Fund to be replenished before we undertake any additional projects," he said. "…We are proposing revenue bonds to help pay for the mounting infrastructure needs due to growth for both culinary water and pressurized irrigation."
