The Weber County Commission on March 17 approved a set of ordinances, contracts and financial items as part of its regular agenda.
Ordinances and code changes: Sha Wilkinson presented the final reading of Ordinance 2026‑05 to remove residential solid waste collection and disposal fees in Ogden Valley and adjust fee schedules in unincorporated west Weber and Uintah Highlands to reflect contractual price increases with Republic Services; the commission approved the ordinance on final reading. Charlie Eert presented the second reading of Ordinance 2026‑06 to repeal provisions related to the board of adjustments and replace them with an appeals/hearing officer process and clerical edits to align county code with state statutes; that ordinance also passed on final reading.
Contracts and agreements: The commission approved a contract with Stern Dirt Racing to host the 2026 Halloween Havoc Demolition Derby at the Golden Spike Event Center. The commission also approved a $22,580 preconstruction services agreement with Wadman Corporation to serve as construction manager/general contractor for planned Weber Center renovations (preconstruction services to refine scope, budget and schedule before construction).
Financials and procurement: Clerk‑Auditor Ricky Hatch reported 27 purchase orders for roughly $619,000 (including major shares for the conference center and a shooting‑range targeting system) and 175 warrants totaling about $1.3 million, with top payees including Republic Services ($339,000) and YF3X LLC ($191,000); commissioners accepted the summaries and approved consent items G1–G12, which bundled several administrative agreements including the MOU for PRIA compliance.
Votes: The record shows roll call votes approving Ordinances 2026‑05 and 2026‑06 and the contracts and agreements listed above; motions were moved and seconded and passed. The meeting adjourned after final action on the Maybus rezoning.
Items requiring follow up include implementing the fee schedule changes spelled out in Ordinance 2026‑05, finalizing the Wadman preconstruction scope as work proceeds, and tracking payments or parkland dedication obligations arising from other agenda items.
