North Ogden

North Ogden City just recently had some very emotional citizens speaking to the City council against the mayor’s proposal to extend the Monroe Boulevard as a major traffic corridor from south to north. Mayor Harris was proposing to take a “grant” for two million dollars received from State of Utah specifically for that purpose. You can imagine how much more vehement the voices would have been if the Mayor was saying he wanted to bond the city for another two million dollars for that street development.

Ogden- Because the aim of the Boy Scouts of America is to, “Prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law,” hundreds of volunteers have been going door to door asking for donations to fund this area’s scout program.

North Ogden- Citizen after citizen stood during the public comment portion  of the January 22nd City Council meeting.  More than 15 residents voiced  concerns regarding the city's plans to eventually finish the long-planned Monroe Blvd.  The city administration is trying to look ahead and plan road improvements and developments that will prepare the city for increasing traffic as the city continues to grow.  The population in North Ogden has almost quadrupled in the last 40 years to arrive at the current 17,357 residents. 

Congratulations to these students for their excellence in academic acheivement!

North Ogden - The City Council unanimously voted to ease controls that previously restricted over 100 homes from adding a garage or converting a carport into a garage.  Many homes in North Ogden built several decades ago either don’t have a garage or car port, or the car port only allows for one parking space.  The former ordinance prohibited building a garage within 10 feet of your property line and building a garage with a width of less than 24 feet.  

NORTH OGDEN – After much debate over several council meetings, the city council has revised their media policy. The original policy stated that council members should email all conversations with the media to each other. This included statements on official city stance and personal opinion.

In the revised edition another section was added to the policy that separates personal opinion and official statements. However the policy continues to encourage elected officials to email media conversations to their fellow officials.
