Ogden council reviews proposed changes to BDO lease‑revenue ordinance, eyes guardrails for one‑time funding

Coralie, a city staff presenter, briefed the Ogden City Council at its March 24 work session on proposed amendments to the BDO lease revenue ordinance, tracing the policy’s origin to the early 2000s and saying current annual BDO lease revenue exceeds $15,000,000. She said the ordinance directs remaining lease revenue—after enumerated priorities—into a pool of funds with a minimum of 50% reserved for capital improvement projects (CIP).
Under the proposed changes, the ordinance would add language allowing funds to be used for previously approved financial commitments, remove a debt obligation tied to the CBD mall that staff said will be paid off in fiscal year 2027, and authorize a five‑year renewal of the Quality Neighborhoods program at $1,000,000 annually through fiscal year 2031. Coralie also noted several technical edits to conform language to the legal department’s style guide.
