The City Council is considering making an agreement with the Barker family which would stipulate how the park and the amphitheater would be used. Councilman Phillip Swanson said he didn’t think they had enough information to finalize the agreement yet. City Attorney Jon Call said the reason an agreement is better than an ordinance is because, “Agreements are harder to change than ordinances because there are more parties involved.” In this agreement, they would determine the anticipated capacity, park hours, when the gates will be open when the fence is built, and parking among other things.
Park, retention basin, or pond?
The council tabled the agreement between North Ogden City and Double Ott Ranch regarding a detention basin and public park. They discussed removing all mentions of the recreational pond from the agreement. They also discussed waiving impact fees in exchange for the dedication of the facility for storm water and a park. They also considered choosing different property to relocate the basin but Call said “this property makes the most sense because it is downhill from the old detention basin.”
The council is considering moving the retention basin from its current location because it is located in a commercial zone. Finance Director Evan Nelson said lots of factors go into determining how much tax revenue a business will bring in with the sale of the current detention basin. He said the City gets $2.6 to $2.7 million of sales tax revenue annually and a new business built in place of the detention basin would increase in sales tax and property tax revenue.

Weber High PTSA! Our mission is to support ALL students at Weber High. In the last several years, the PTSA has not held a fundraiser. We know that so many people in our community are asked to support fundraising efforts by Weber athletes and students participating in clubs. However, this year, we have been asked by Weber High administration to raise money to purchase large banners that will hang on the utility poles that line Weber High Drive and Shorty’s Lane. They want everyone who is driving through North Ogden and Pleasant View to know that they are entering Weber High territory. We are the Warriors and we are proud!
This is a “No Fuss Fundraiser.” They are not selling candy bars, coupon books or hosting a 5K race. We are counting on all our “Friends of Weber High” to support our effort to promote the spirit of Weber High in our community. We need to raise $2,000 to purchase 26 banners to line the streets of North Ogden and Pleasant View. Everyone in our community will benefit as we beautify our streets and increase our school and community pride. Additional funds collected will support PTSA activities throughout the year. Donations can be made via PayPal to weberhighptsa@gmail.com, or by visiting https://weber.wds.net/index.php/parent-services/ptsa.
Thank you for your support. We are excited to line our streets with Warrior spirit! Email with questions to: weberhighptsa@gmail.com.
Open Letter to the community from Mayor Chugg:
We celebrated Labor Day the first Monday in September, which is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of the American worker. It is a tribute to the workers who have contributed to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. It also marks the end of summer vacations and activities. For some parents, it is a glorious holiday because your child will be going back to school the next day!
On this Labor Day, I would like to pay tribute to the great employees in our City. We appreciate the great recorders and administrative assistants throughout the departments who keep us on task and assist us in numerous ways. Their cheerful attitudes always brighten our day. We acknowledge our City Administrator who oversees the operation of the City. We recognize our Planning and Building Departments who handle difficult assignments and maintain the quality of our neighborhoods.
We have a great financial staff that monitors our finances and makes sure our tax dollars are spent wisely and in the best interest of our citizens. Our Parks and Recreation Department maintains the beautiful parks in our city that provide recreational opportunities for our youth and a place for family activities. They take care of the beautiful flowers that adorn the entrance to our City.
Our Police Department is one of the finest in the area. We appreciate and value the dedicated officers who are constantly on call to protect and assist us in emergency situations. They sacrifice much in monitoring our City 24 hours per day, seven days a week.
Our Public Works Department is there to assure our comfort and daily well-being. They provide an array of services that sometimes we take for granted. You have water when you turn on your tap and you have sewer facilities to take away your waste. They also manage garbage collection and monitor storm water when it rains or when there are heavy snows so that it is contained and moved out of our neighborhoods. We have a streets department to maintain our streets for safe travel throughout the City, both summer and winter. We have a skilled maintenance staff that makes sure all our equipment is operating efficiently.
We as citizens appreciate these dedicated employees. I encourage everyone to express your appreciation as you have the opportunity to visit them and thank them.
Brent Chugg, Mayor
