Ogden City Council Work Session - April 7, 2026

The Ogden City Council held a joint work session with the Redevelopment Agency on April 7, 2026, focusing primarily on updates related to managed parking ordinance amendments and community outreach plans for a new parking system involving kiosks and a mobile app managed by Interstate Parking. The council discussed the installation of 17 parking kiosks in downtown areas and emphasized education over enforcement to encourage app adoption. Additionally, the meeting covered the city's HUD-funded five-year consolidated plan amendment, detailing various housing and community development programs, including purchase-rehab-resell initiatives and small business loans. Budget allocations for these programs were reviewed, with specific dollar amounts noted for housing rehabilitation and emergency repair loans. The council also received an extensive briefing on the proposed Utah Renewable Communities Program, a clean energy initiative in partnership with Rocky Mountain Power, including program structure, rates, opt-out provisions, and community participation timelines. Finally, the session addressed the Exchange Building land transfer and development agreement, discussing environmental and structural assessments and associated financial contingencies. No formal votes were recorded during this session, but several action items and future agenda topics were identified, including further discussions on the parking plan and renewable energy program adoption deadlines.
