City Council approves SWAT Soccer's field reservation for $7000 per season

During the North Ogden City Council meeting on January 28, 2025, significant resolutions were passed that will impact local sports and community events. The council unanimously approved Resolution O2-2025, which amends the consolidated fee schedule to grant SWAT Soccer exclusive access to city fields for $7,000 per season. This agreement allows the soccer organization to reserve the fields six days a week, ensuring they have priority on Saturdays. Additionally, SWAT Soccer will not incur charges for midweek games or rescheduled matches due to rainouts.

The decision reflects the city's commitment to supporting local sports organizations while managing field usage effectively. By securing this agreement, the council aims to streamline scheduling and enhance the experience for both players and spectators.

In another key discussion, the council considered Resolution O3-2025, which amends the City Events Partnership. City Manager John Call highlighted the importance of including the Utah Special Olympics as a recognized partner, allowing them to use city facilities without charge for their upcoming event. This inclusion underscores the city’s dedication to community service and support for noble causes, particularly those that promote inclusivity and participation in sports.

The council's actions during this meeting demonstrate a proactive approach to community engagement through sports and events, fostering a supportive environment for local organizations. As these resolutions take effect, they are expected to enhance recreational opportunities and strengthen community ties in North Ogden.
