Weber County memorializes tax-sharing, transfers to help newly incorporated Ogden Valley City get started
Summary
County attorneys said a resolution adopted ahead of the recap memorializes state-required pro rata tax sharing with newly incorporated Ogden Valley City and directs transfers of impact fees and subdivision improvement guarantees; the transcript did not specify statute citations or vote tallies.
County attorney's office representative Chris Crockett said the commission adopted a resolution the day before the recorded recap to complete a procedural step in Ogden Valley City’s incorporation. "This is just one of the final steps in the incorporation process," Crockett said, adding that "the statute requires when a city incorporates that we share pro rata the portion of the taxes so that they can fund their municipal services."
Crockett said the resolution memorializes that point in time and formally authorizes the county treasurer's office to remit those tax shares to Ogden Valley City so it can begin providing municipal services. He also said the resolution included ancillary items needed to transition responsibilities: transfer of impact fees and subdivision improvement guarantee funds to the new city.
Commissioner Sharon Bolos and Crockett stressed ongoing operational support: staff meet weekly with Ogden Valley City leaders and county departments are helping the new city get established. The transcript did not identify the specific statute by citation, the dollar amounts or fund balances to be transferred, or any motion/vote tallies connected to the resolution; those details were not provided in the recorded recap.
