Summary
At its meeting the council approved the developer RFP for the West Division site, passed Resolutions 608 and 202606‑609 supporting workforce housing projects, authorized publishing a CDBG administrative RFP, and voted to waive a third reading of Ordinance 288 (one recorded nay).
The Ogden City Council recorded several formal actions during its meeting.
Key votes and outcomes:
- Agenda approval: The council moved and approved the meeting agenda at the start of the session.
- Consent agenda: The consent agenda was approved by one motion with no items removed.
- Developer RFP (West Division hayfield): Council approved acceptance of the single RFP response from a developer and voted to proceed with the RFP process.
- Resolution 608: Council approved Resolution 608 in support of the applicant’s workforce housing tax‑credit application for the West Division project; motion carried.
- Resolution 202606‑609: Council also approved support for Zach Cloud’s application to rehabilitate two upper‑story housing units above a gym/fitness center; staff noted the project is modest in scope and likely to be competitive for upper‑story funding.
- Ordinance 288 (second reading/waive third reading): The council proceeded with a second reading and voted to waive a third reading of Ordinance 288, which would add a new chapter requiring permits during 'Red Brand'; the motion passed with one nay recorded.

- Other procedural items: The council authorized short‑term mowing of a tall hayfield and adjourned the meeting by motion.
Vote tallies were recorded orally as 'Aye' or carried for most votes; only Ordinance 288 recorded a specific opposing vote as 'Nay.' The meeting minutes reflect motions made, seconds, and council consensus.
