We would like to direct our readers' attention this morning to a memo we received earlier this week from Ogden City council communications specialist Chad Phares, concerning the Mt. Ogden community plan:
OGDEN, UTAH (Sept. 18, 2007) — In an effort to encourage community involvement, the Ogden City Council will discuss the proposed Mt. Ogden Community Plan at Mt. Ogden Middle School at 6 p.m. during the Tuesday, Sept. 25 Ogden City Council meeting.Please be sure to mark your calenders, gentle readers. We believe this to be a "must attend" event.
After the plan has been presented, those who wish to provide input to the Council will be given the opportunity to do so. Likewise, comment cards will be made available for those who wish to leave written comments. These comments will be consolidated and delivered to the Council.
The proposed community plan contains a vision of the community and objectives for implementing this vision. Many of the recommendations in the plan came from Mt. Ogden residents who served on community plan steering committees.
Because Council members consider it important to take the time to carefully consider both the input they receive from residents and business owners as well as the Planning Commission’s recommendations, the Council will not make a decision regarding the plan during this meeting.
The Council received the community plan from the Planning Commission on May 29, 2007. Since this time, the Council has met with planning officials multiple times to discuss the contents of the plan.
A copy of the plan may be obtained by clicking on the “Proposed Mt. Ogden Community Plan” link on the City’s home page .
Mt. Ogden Middle School is located at 3260 Harrison Boulevard. The meeting will be held in the school’s auditorium.
