Management Services is one of six city departments in Ogden. Our principle responsibility is to serve other line city departments, although we offer services to the public as well. If you are an Ogden City resident, Management Services offers answers to the following important questions:

1. Where does the City get the money to offer its services?
2. What does it cost the City to operate each year?
3. Where can I find city records including minutes and ordinances?
4. Where can I pay my water bill, traffic tickets or other fees?
5. How do I apply for work with the City?
6. How do I contact my state representative or senator?
7. How can I be added to a bidders list to do business with the City?
8. How do I find the phone number or email address of a city official?
9. What do I need to do if I want to run for mayor or city council?
