Mike Schoblom, who said he and a business partner operate a two-person company that sells aftermarket accessories for Humvees and who used local shops for laser cutting and machining, told the council he applied for a business license that was denied because the city's zoning ordinance does not explicitly permit manufacturing in that zone.

“I don't know too much about that company,” Schoblom said of prior occupants, but he listed past businesses at the space—fertilizer manufacturer, SureCan (final assembly/shipping), Timber West Cabinets and Pilkington Glass—arguing the types of activity he plans are not new to the site. He said his in-house activity is primarily final assembly and occasional prototyping using small 3-D printers and that the loudest tool would likely be an angle grinder used occasionally.

Council members and staff recommended a zoning-text amendment to define and limit “light manufacturing.” Council member Barker asked staff to draft a “really definitive definition of what light manufacturing is so it doesn't grow,” and council member Dalpez suggested including a sound parameter in the definition to address neighbor noise concerns. City staff (Scott and Blake were identified in discussion) agreed to work on a definition and bring it back to council.

Why it matters
If the city adopts a narrowly tailored “light manufacturing” definition and adds it to the zoning text for the relevant zone, that could allow small-business operations that focus on final assembly and light prototyping to operate in warehouse spaces without requiring a zoning variance or relocation. Staff cautioned that the city does not currently have a zone that permits manufacturing and that an amendment needs care to avoid unintended expansion of heavier industrial uses.

What happens next
City planning staff will draft proposed zoning-text language that defines and limits light manufacturing, including potential sound or equipment restrictions, and return to council. Schoblom said he needs a quick timeline because his Riverdale lease runs month to month.

Ending
Council members encouraged the owner to work with staff and said they favored bringing a narrowly defined amendment back to council quickly.","A business owner seeking to move to a warehouse behind Brilliant Lighting asked the council to sponsor a zoning text amendment to allow limited on-site assembly and prototyping described as \"light manufacturing.\" Staff agreed to draft a definition and return to council.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6522470,"North Ogden council adopts 2024–25 budget amendments, shifts RDA projects to next year",895,965000,1860000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5070868-84114c3265200494dd0afa04a93bea00&start=965&end=1860","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5070868-84114c3265200494dd0afa04a93bea00/thumbnail_965000.jpg","/articles/6522470/Utah/North-Ogden-council-adopts-202425-budget-amendments-shifts-RDA-projects-to-next-year","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6522470-e793873f0e078bc55414a67576a0ed94/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170663&Signature=ZTGUFVO-xFCu7hNyWCj9AVLAFrjX666~a3nT8p8uA4FUMD9W12kTAoP3kHGLrHj8Zd~5tMjQLHAsRZhWl6AVMoLPFx0sVp7WShCjxzSfu~EZPBQTVRany0plo7wW1AIBR-ykACFk4USxxSdWjFcXlrKBZJqy7276HL8bLTArqDCT5rYpfirXGp6dvvHnhCte1tne3avhmje4oQfYaMufEF2RaoJBuTshfHgEuvKAaMXYAUJ8Z8L~Rw8p3yzby~IDLnVfpGyiJL~6z3K8UozhV3e8YQahKT4qcLte-5qSL6TSjSGoRV9SZcj3yR5NR94Ky~Yazs~DvMi1F-Lj--Xybw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Ogden City Council on June 24 approved changes to the city’s fiscal year 2024–25 budget and associated redevelopment agency (RDA) amendments after Finance Director Peter Brown described conservative revenue forecasts and delays to several capital projects.

Peter Brown, the city’s finance director, told the council the amendments reflect where staff now expects to “land at the end of fiscal year 24–25,” noting timing and vendor delays for capital projects and a volatile sales-tax trend. “We have some revenue lines and a couple of expenditure lines that we’re still trying to catch up on,” Brown said.

Brown said most department budgets were adjusted downward, with exceptions including a reclassification that moved an HR position into the HR budget and a reworking of Cherry Days donations that were booked in the wrong fiscal year. He said the general fund would need about $49,000 to be “whole” and that the aquatic center fund would likely draw on its own fund balance rather than receive a general-fund transfer because the RDA had previously seeded that fund.

Mayor (identified in the meeting as the presiding official) added context on the aquatics transfer: “We took $175,000 out of RDA and put it in their fund balance,” he said, explaining that infusion reduces the need for a general-fund transfer.

Brown also described recent adjustments after the packet was posted: sales-tax receipts came in lower than expected so he recommended holding the sales-tax estimate at $4,800,000 rather than increasing it, and he corrected a duplicated investment-interest line that had overstated revenue. He proposed modest adjustments to the streets budget after updated cost information arrived.

Council members pressed staff on the sales-tax outlook and the aquatic center. Council member Dalpez asked whether April’s low sales tax drove the revision; Brown said it “kicked it off” and that the trend line suggested a conservative $375,000 swing for the last two months of the fiscal year. Council member Pulver asked whether the amendments net to zero; Brown said the final adjustment was about $80,000.

Public hearing and vote
The council opened a public hearing; speakers asked questions about sales-tax allocation and a “double dip” accounting error in interest revenue. Reed Miller asked how much sales tax the city receives; the mayor and staff explained the state allocation system (a portion returned based on population vs. the portion generated by local purchases). Kevin Burns asked for clarification of “double dip”; staff said a single investment had been inadvertently counted twice and that the error was corrected.

After the public hearing, Council member Barker moved to approve ordinance 2025-15 adopting the proposed 2024–25 budget amendments “with the amendments as discussed by Peter Brown.” The motion passed unanimously by roll call.

RDA amendments
The council recessed into the Redevelopment Agency to consider ordinance 2025-16, the RDA budget amendment. Brown summarized that the RDA had planned to fund more of the aquatics center this year but delivery delays and project timing mean about $300,000 will remain in the RDA this fiscal year and the rest will be pushed to the next. He cited delayed playground, liners and bicentennial work as reasons funds will move forward into the next fiscal year.

A board member noted a typographical error in the draft showing a $222,000 transfer to the general fund that should instead go to the capital fund; staff said they would correct it in adoption. The RDA board moved and approved ordinance 2025-16 (the RDA budget amendment) with the correction; the vote included one abstention recorded for a member who joined late to the discussion.

Why it matters
Council and staff said the amendments reflect conservative accounting practices to avoid overstating revenues, to align capital spending with actual project delivery, and to make the FY24–25 numbers auditable ahead of the year-end close. The council discussed triggers and contingency plans if sales-tax receipts continue below projections.

What comes next
Staff will finalize the corrected ordinance language and the RDA transfer line, post the updated budget documents, and proceed with the next fiscal-year budget process. Council members requested clearer definitions and contingency triggers (for example, expense-reduction thresholds) so the council can act if revenues underperform.

Ending
Council members and staff thanked the citizen budget committee and the city’s finance staff for the months of work that went into the numbers; Brown said he expects to finish cleanup of interest and other revenue lines during the audit process.
