Ogden City Council Work Session - June 2, 2026

The Ogden City Council held a joint work session on June 2, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing the proposed fiscal year 2026-2027 budget and the capital improvement plan (CIP). Key procurement-related discussions included the consolidation of CIP projects to allow more flexible use of funds across similar projects, with assurances from administration to maintain transparency through quarterly reporting. The council also discussed specific CIP allocations, such as airport terminal and passenger processing projects tied to federal funding, and improvements around the Wonder Block funded by bond interest earnings. Additionally, the council deliberated on the potential purchase of the Taylor Canyon property, with considerations about budget appropriations and timelines related to earnest money and school board negotiations. Public safety budget matters were addressed, including the police department's request for five floating positions to maintain staffing levels, with explanations on managing budget impacts and personnel transitions. The session concluded with procedural motions to move into a closed session and schedule public hearings for budget amendments.
