The Lehi Free Press and the Point of the Mountain Chamber of Commerce will host a Lehi City Council candidate debate at Willowcreek Middle School in the orchestra room on Thursday, August 1 at 7 p.m. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.
There are 14 candidates running for three City Council seats. All three current City Council members whose seats are up for re-election are asking Lehi voters to re-elect them.
