Commissioners approve first reading to adjust Ogden Valley solid-waste fees; county administrative fee reduced
Summary
Weber County commissioners approved the first reading of an ordinance that implements a contractually required 5% increase to waste management collection fees in Ogden Valley for 2025 while lowering the county administrative fee from $2.00 to $1.50 per month.
Sean Wilkinson, a county staff member, presented an ordinance amending Section 16-29 (solid waste fees) of the Weber County Code to reflect a contractually required increase in collection fees for Ogden Valley service in 2025.
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.
