Wilkinson told commissioners the contract ties annual adjustments to the consumer price index for water, sewer and trash services and that the 2025 change is a 5% increase. He also said the ordinance reduces Weber County’s monthly administrative fee from $2.00 to $1.50.

Wilkinson explained the combined effect of the changes on a typical Ogden Valley residential account with one container: residents will see a net increase of $1.41 per quarter rather than $2.91 per quarter because the county administrative fee was lowered.

A commissioner moved to approve the ordinance on first reading as presented by Wilkinson. The motion passed; the transcript records three ayes and the chair declared the motion carried. This action completes the ordinance’s first reading; further readings or formal adoption steps are governed by county ordinance procedures.

The county did not identify additional statutory authorities in the presentation; Wilkinson cited the contract indexing provision as the basis for the 5% adjustment.

Kalantyne said Goal hosted 65 free community events in 2024 — including yoga, free hikes and programs with the Golden Hour Senior Center — and collected about $2,000 in donations for a new green initiative that plants trees. He reported the foundation donated 182 pairs of athletic shoes and 10 hiking poles to residents in need and provided just under $5,000 in youth camp scholarships.

Volunteer involvement was a major point: Goal recorded more than 1,000 volunteers contributing just over 7,300 hours in 2024. Kalantyne said the organization thinks that volunteer total is an undercount because not every short-term helper signs in.

Kalantyne described signature events the foundation runs or supports. The Ogden Marathon had 6,658 registrations in 2024 and an estimated economic impact of $1,870,000 from out-of-area visitors; the foundation anticipates the 2025 event’s visitor-driven impact will exceed $2,000,000. The marathon is scheduled for May 17, 2025, with the expo on May 16; the expo will be held at the Eccles Conference Center in Ogden after a remodel.

The Northern Utah Trail Fest (NUT) is in its fourth year, Kalantyne said, and this year the foundation expects nearly 400 participants and roughly 2,000 festival attendees. Kalantyne also noted partnerships and sponsorships that support the foundation’s work, including Weber County, a county GRAMA/RAMP grant, Weber County Tourism Works, and the Utah Office of Tourism.

Kalantyne thanked county departments and staff — including parks, permitting and public safety partners — and said the foundation will expand scholarship programming and volunteer recruitment in 2025.

The recommendation — presented in the county commission meeting March 11 — asked the commission to approve the list of awards as submitted by the RAMP board. Burns said the 15-member volunteer board depended on county staff, which he called the “grama moms,” to process hundreds of hours of work and keep the review on schedule.

Burns described how the pool of funds was allocated: about $2.3 million went to major grant applications, leaving the remainder for parks, recreation, arts and museum projects across the county. After funding the submitted applications, Burns said the board had $669,000 remaining in parks and recreation; the board transferred $370,000 of that to Arts and Museums and moved $299,000 to major grants to fulfill additional requests. A remaining $5,000 was slated for the EZ grant category.

Commissioners praised the volunteer board’s time and care. Commissioner Jim Harvey said he appreciated the effort and told Burns the commission was comfortable approving the recommendations because of the board’s thorough review. Chair Sharon Bolanos echoed thanks to volunteers and county staff.

Following Burns’s presentation, a commissioner moved to approve the RAMP awards as presented. The motion passed with three ayes; the transcript records Commissioner Gage Froer, Commissioner Jim Harvey and Chair Sharon Bolanos voting in favor.

Clarifying details provided during the presentation and confirmed in the packet: the RAMP program’s total recommended awards for 2025 were $7,068,000; transfers from parks to other categories were $370,000 to Arts & Museums and $299,000 to Majors; $5,000 remained for EZ grants. Burns emphasized the local visibility of funded projects, noting numerous GRAMA/RAMP signs around the county.

The approvals allow staff to notify grantees and begin contracting and project coordination. Burns and commissioners noted the projects are expected to move into implementation over the coming months.
