Council Meetings, Agendas, and Actions
Regular Meetings
The Ogden City Council regularly meets on the first, third, and fourth Tuesdays of each month to make decisions on City matters. The second Tuesday of each month is reserved for the Ogden Redevelopment Agency meetings where Council members become RDA Commissioners. The Commission addresses proposals about housing, neighborhood improvements, or business development issues and projects.
The second Tuesday meeting is also reserved for Council Work Sessions.
Unless otherwise publicly noticed, all regular City Council meetings begin at 6:00 p.m. and are held in the Ogden City Council Chambers, Suite 320, located on the third floor of the Municipal Building, 2549 Washington Boulevard, Ogden, Utah. Any additional meetings are scheduled as needed and properly noticed.
Council Work Sessions
The purpose of these sessions is to discuss detailed information with the Council members on specific programs or issues. These meetings are open to the public, but are not public hearings. Final decisions on matters discussed at a work session are placed on the regular Council meeting agenda.
