Retail Sales and Budget Meeting

South Ogden is not immune to the affects of our current economy, I am sure we will begin hearing about it soon.  If all goes well, South Ogden will be just fine; however I am worried tough financial times for our city are approaching.  

  City Manager - Scott Darringinton, in a recent post on his South Ogden City Managers blog, explained why Sales Tax is important to the budget process.  (See Here)  With the recent Ogden Sales Tax Revenue news, as reported in the Standard Examiner (See Here), I can't help but wonder were South Ogden sits. 

   There is an important budget meeting on the 18th where many of these things will be discussed. My concern lies in the recent talks of a Recreation Center that will be clearly unprofitable and limited in use. (See Here)  What other projects are in the works?  What will need to be cut? What should be cut? Are retail sales down in Ogden? I recommend we all attend!

The budget meeting will be on the 18th of November at 6 pm in the City Council Chambers.
