Council approves $128,780 cost-to-cure payment to Ogden Golf & Country Club for federal sidewalk project
Summary
As part of a federally funded Adams Avenue sidewalk project, council approved a $128,780 cost-to-cure contract so the Ogden Golf & Country Club can move irrigation, fencing and related work on its own schedule; staff said federal rules require compensating property owners for project impacts.
City staff described a federally funded sidewalk infill project along Adams Avenue that will affect the Ogden Golf & Country Club’s fence and irrigation. Rather than direct the grant-funded contractor to do the relocations, the city mediated a "cost-to-cure" agreement that identifies the value of work the club will perform and compensates the club $128,780 for those costs. Dixon (staff) explained the approach: the state and the federal funding process require determining the value of impacted improvements and compensating property owners, even if the improvements lie in the right-of-way.
Councilors asked about timeline, protections for mature trees and whether the city should pay to remedy prior encroachments; staff said most affected trees were lower-quality volunteers and that the contract will not acquire property—only pay for relocations and removals tied to the city's federally funded project. The council approved Resolution 25-29 by roll call (two 'no' votes noted).
