South Ogden adopts FY2025 budget including property tax increase and new vehicle plan
Summary
The South Ogden City Council adopted Resolution 24-25 on Aug. 20, 2024, approving a $20,944,543 general fund budget for fiscal year 2025 that includes a property tax increase, a $71,000 carry-forward for a fire-truck capital line and planning for roughly $1.1 million in future police vehicle replacements.
The South Ogden City Council on Aug. 20 approved Resolution 24-25, adopting the city's fiscal year 2025 budget, including a proposed increase in property tax revenue. Peter (staff member S8) told the council the general fund total in the packet is $20,944,543 and highlighted several line items that council members had discussed in prior work sessions.
"The overall general fund budget on page 10 is $20,944,543," Peter said during his presentation. He told the council the packet was updated to add roughly $71,000 in carry-forward funds to the fire-truck capital project after a staff review of the capital projects budget. Peter also noted donations included in the draft: $4,600 budgeted across several recipients, specifically $3,600 to Bonneville Communities That Care and $1,000 to Bonneville High PTA, and a separate Youth City Council (YCC) donation request of about $9,858 that the council could add by amendment.
Council members discussed a separate utilities-rate review that is not part of this year's adoption and the prospect of replacing aging police vehicles and adding in-car cameras in a future year; Peter said that replacement program is currently estimated at about $1,100,000 and would be considered beyond the FY2025 budget. After discussion the council moved, seconded and approved the resolution by roll call.
The council's adoption leaves an opening for future amendments if council members later choose to add or change line items. The council also signaled it would consider adding the YCC donation line as a friendly amendment if a member moves to do so at a future meeting.
