A Weber County Forum Tip 'O the Hat to Councilwoman Wicks, the sole current council member with a lick of common sense
 |
| (Translation: Rubber-stamped) |
The
Standard's Mitch Shaw reports on
last night's 6-1 Council vote, whereby an extremely docile and administration-compliant Council majority basically rubber-stamped the Caldwell administration's recommended new top-dollar bonding, authorizing the issuance of some $18 million in Water and Sewer Utility improvement bonds under the following specific parameters, with council member Amy Wicks being the lone dissenting vote:
The first resolution authorizes the city to pay for a new water treatment plant at the top of Ogden Canyon by issuing $13.4 million in bonds and paying it off over 25 years. The second resolution pays for storm sewer improvements along Harrison Boulevard by issuing $4.7 million in bonds with a 20-year repayment period.

Congrats to council challengers
Pamela Shupe Stevens,
Turner C. Bitton,
Stephen D. Thompson,
Marcia L. White and
Courtney Jon White, who've just had a major
2013 Ogden Municipal Election campaign issue delivered by the council incumbents on an
engraved silver golden platter, and dropped onto their very laps.
"Opportunity knocks," Ogden City Council challengers.
