Ogden City Council Work Session - November 10, 2026

The Ogden City Council and Redevelopment Agency joint work session was held November 10, 2026. Procurement and budget matters included a proposed FY 2026–27 midyear amendment, scheduled for council consideration December 1. The proposal would direct $750,000 in new local-option sales-tax revenue to street construction, transfer $65,000 from general-fund contingency to the fleet fund for a maintenance vehicle, and recognize an $849,000 state pass-through grant for water-source and distribution-system contaminant testing, engineering, and planning. The presenter reported a total budget impact of $2.414 million. No budget vote was taken at the work session.

The RDA reviewed a competitive RFP for city-owned land at 1781 Gibson Avenue and recommended Link Development’s proposal: a $5.1 million purchase for a roughly 10.8-acre site, with a proposed mix of about 140 homes. The proposed agreement includes a 3% deed of trust with staged payments and owner-occupancy provisions; zoning, final site engineering, and the potential river bridge remain matters to resolve. The council planned to receive public input the following week and consider a vote at a later meeting. The session also included the Pioneer Days Foundation’s annual report, noting re-signed contracts for its rodeo announcer and clown and ongoing work with the city on grandstand seating; no city contract award was made on those items. The police department presented an administrative order on immigration-related interactions, which it said would be incorporated into department policy; the council discussed but did not direct administrative policy.
