# Ogden City Council Work Session - October 20, 2026

The October 20, 2026 Ogden City Council work session reviewed a proposed FY 2026–27 amendment to the HUD Annual Action Plan and matching city budget amendment. Staff proposed a net increase of $499,026 in HUD funding (the city budget amendment rounds this to $499,050), including increases of $299,720 for target-area public improvements and $47,676 for HOME infill/CHDO activities, and reductions of $39,585 for purchase-rehabilitation-resale and $100,000 for small-business loans. HOME ARP funding would decrease by $84,579, while administration would increase by $121,465; program goals remain unchanged. Staff also described Road to Housing Act changes affecting HOME and CDBG eligibility and flexibility. The public comment period is scheduled for October 28–November 28, with a public hearing on December 15 and the amendment taking effect December 16. The Council took no vote or procurement action on these items during the work session.

Staff presented the FY 2025–26 HUD performance report, reporting $4,031,525 in expenditures from $6,346,242 available across the grants, including housing assistance, home repairs, sidewalk improvements, and support for people transitioning out of homelessness. The Council also received an update on the Community Clean Energy Program, including a competitive RFP process for new utility-scale renewable generation; solar was the initial leading project type, but no contract award or vendor selection was presented. Council members were asked to complete capital improvement project rankings by Friday; no CIP funding decisions were made at this meeting.
