South Ogden City Council Meeting July 7, 2026
Published: Jul 7, 2026
Adams Avenue Sidewalk Project Update and Future Plans; Golf Ball Damage Issue Addressed
Residents inquired about the progress and future plans for sidewalk and fence line improvements on Adams Avenue. Public Works confirmed that the current project, approved through 'safe sidewalks,' extends sidewalk construction to 42nd Street. While the city has intentions to continue sidewalk development past 42nd Street towards 44th Street, funding is not yet budgeted. There are no current plans for the city to install netting to prevent golf ball damage from the country club, as this would be the responsibility of the property owners or the country club.
Council Approves Ambulance Purchase Agreement with Sidens Martin
The council approved an agreement with Sidens Martin for the purchase of ambulances. The bid process resulted in a lead time of 16 to 17 months. The ambulances will be built in Florida, and the chassis will be F-550 all-wheel drive, deemed the most suitable option after evaluating alternatives. The purchase will be funded from the enterprise fund ambulance fee.
City Council to Update Outdated Annexation Policy for State Law Compliance
The city is undertaking an update of its annexation policy to ensure compliance with current state law, as the existing policy's references to state code are outdated. The policy update aims to modernize the process and include provisions for potential future annexations, although the city is not actively seeking to expand its borders. The process will involve reviewing existing annexation plans, removing areas that have since been annexed (like the country club property), and potentially incorporating new areas that make geographic and fiscal sense. The cost of community services for different land uses is a consideration in this process.
South Ogden Considers Budget, Tax Increase, and Capital Improvement Funding
The City Council discussed the upcoming fiscal year 2027 budget, including a proposed property tax increase of 10.3%. This increase is intended to fund several key areas: replacement of a fire truck, an increase in the sidewalk budget, enhancements to park capital improvements, and updates to the aging police fleet. Additionally, the council reviewed and considered budget amendments for one-time expenses such as landscaping and roof replacement for City Hall, and ADA upgrades for building entrances. These one-time expenses are proposed to be funded from the city's fund balance, which currently stands at approximately $13 million. The council also noted that the garbage fund experienced expenditures exceeding revenues in fiscal year 2025, a situation that is being monitored, particularly due to fuel surcharges. A new contract for the Ogden transfer station is expected to reduce costs, potentially improving the fund's financial standing.
