Ogden City Council Work Session - April 21, 2026

The Ogden City Council held a work session on April 21, 2026, covering several key topics including community risk reduction, the Weber County RAMP grant process, a community clean energy program participation ordinance, and a proposed student housing project on Weber State University campus. Significant procurement-related discussions included the RAMP grant program, which distributes approximately $6.65 million annually to recreation, arts, museums, and parks projects across Weber County, with a focus on equitable funding and matching contributions. The council also reviewed the community clean energy program ordinance, which involves Rocky Mountain Power fronting transition costs for renewable energy infrastructure upgrades, with no financial liability for the city beyond voluntary participation costs. Additionally, the council considered designating a survey area for a long-term lease student housing project, which would generate new tax revenue through a privilege tax on currently non-taxable state land. The meeting included detailed presentations on funding mechanisms, project planning, and public engagement strategies, with no formal votes recorded during the session.
