Ogden Valley City, established in 2026, proposes its FY27 budget in two parallel scenarios because the city had not received final guidance on whether it may complete the Truth-in-Taxation process and adjust its property tax rate.

Key takeaways

  • The City is presenting two budget scenarios: an Alternate Proposed Budget (no tax increase) and a Tentative Truth-in-Taxation Budget (with potential property tax increase).
  • If a property tax increase is not approved, the City will delay staffing additions, road maintenance, and critical stormwater studies.
  • A Transportation Utility Fee (TUF) may be required to fund road operations if property tax revenues cannot be increased.
  • The Building Department is transitioning from County management to independent City-issued permits, currently utilizing shared administrative staff rather than a dedicated employee.
  • Public Safety funding will continue through agreements with the County for police and animal control services.
  • The Community Development budget in the Alternate scenario includes reductions in contracted planning/engineering services and removes the Community Development Director position.

Budget Overview

At the time this budget was prepared, the City had not received final guidance on whether it would be

permitted to complete the Truth-in-Taxation process and adjust its property tax rate for FY27. Because

this issue remains unresolved, the City has developed two parallel budget scenarios to ensure

transparency and compliance with all applicable requirements while additional information is gathered.

The first scenario, labeled "Tentative Truth-in-Taxation Budget," reflects the services, staffing, studies,

and projects that could be funded if the City is allowed to complete the Truth-in-Taxation process and

increase property tax revenues. The second scenario, labeled "Alternate – Proposed FY27 Budget,"

reflects a reduced budget that reduces services and delays critical studies to fit within the revenue

streams available without a tax increase. Unless otherwise noted, the information presented in this

budget book is based on the Alternate – Proposed FY27 Budget.

Presenting both budget scenarios allows residents, elected officials, and staff to understand the

potential impacts of each outcome. The City will continue to follow all legal and financial requirements

and will not spend any revenues associated with a potential tax increase unless and until those revenues

are authorized and available.

If the City is unable to increase property tax revenues through the Truth-in-Taxation process, staffing

additions, road maintenance, and critical storm water studies will be delayed. The City will focus

available resources on maintaining core services and safety.

Road funding remains one of the City’s biggest financial challenges. Current revenues are not enough to

fully pay for road maintenance, daily operations, and future road improvements. If the City is unable to

increase property tax revenues, a Transportation Utility Fee (TUF) will be needed to provide a reliable

source of funding for transportation services. The timing and extent of road maintenance and

improvement projects will depend on when the TUF can be put in place and how much revenue it

generates. Once that information is available, the City can amend the budget to match planned expenses

with available funding.

Message from the Mayor

As we prepare for the upcoming fiscal year, our City continues to navigate the challenges and opportunities that

come with being a newly incorporated community. This proposed budget reflects our commitment to

responsible financial management while continuing to provide essential services to residents.

Over the past six months, we have worked to better understand the City’s long-term financial needs,

particularly in areas such as roads, public safety, planning, and public works. While revenue limitations

required us to make difficult decisions and delay projects and staffing additions, this budget focuses on

maintaining core services without the availability of a property tax increase.

3 | P a g e

The budget also reflects important progress as the City begins transitioning to managing its own building

permit services and continues pursuing long-term funding solutions for transportation and infrastructure

needs. We remain committed to seeking grants, identifying efficiencies, and planning carefully for future

growth and community needs.

I want to thank the City Council, staff, and residents for their continued support, patience, and

involvement as we work together to build a strong foundation for the future of our community.

Department Budget Summary

Administration

The Administration Department budget provides funding for the general management and daily

operations of the City. This includes funding for a part-time City Manager or the Mayor to oversee City

operations, perform essential legal and financial functions, coordinate services, manage projects, and

support long-term planning efforts. The budget also includes a small stipend for the City Council and

Mayor in recognition of their service and responsibilities, comparable to other similarly situated cities. In

addition, a limited amount of funding is included for administrative staff who assist with financial

management, record keeping, public communication, meeting coordination, and other administrative

functions necessary to support City operations. The City will continue to rely heavily on volunteers to help

support City functions as it works to provide services within current financial limitations.

Public Safety

The Public Safety budget will continue funding agreements with the County for police and animal control

services to ensure continued public safety coverage throughout the Valley. The budget also includes

funding for a part-time school crossing guard to help improve pedestrian safety for students and families

near the school.

Building Department

The Building Department budget reflects the City beginning the transition from the County to managing

and issuing its own building permits. At this time, the City does not plan to hire a dedicated employee for

the department. Instead, the budget includes funding to help support shared administrative staff who will

assist with customer service and related administrative functions during the transition.

Community Development

The Community Development Department oversees planning, zoning, development review, and

permitting-related services throughout Ogden Valley. The department supports responsible growth, long-

range planning efforts, infrastructure coordination, and compliance with City ordinances and

development standards.

The Alternate – Proposed FY27 Budget, includes less funding for contracted planning and engineering

services and removes funding for the Community Development Director position that was included in the

Tentative Truth-in-Taxation budget. Those items were originally proposed based on the possibility of

receiving additional property tax revenue through the Truth-in-Taxation process. These reductions will

slow project timelines, limit the City’s ability to review development applications, and delay long-range

planning efforts. The City will continue to focus on essential planning and development services while

evaluating future staffing needs and available financial resources.

7 | P a g e

Public Works - Municipal Services

The Public Works Department is responsible for supporting essential municipal infrastructure and

operational services throughout the City. Department responsibilities include roadway maintenance,

engineering support, GIS services, trail maintenance, weed control, stormwater planning, and

infrastructure oversight.

The Alternate – Proposed FY27 Budget includes funding for a Public Works Manager while reducing

funding for several engineering studies and infrastructure planning efforts that were proposed in the

Truth-In-Taxation Tentative Budget. As a result, some studies, capital planning efforts, and infrastructure

updates may be delayed while the City continues pursuing grant funding opportunities and prioritizing

critical operational and maintenance needs.

Class C - Roads

The Class C – Roads budget reflects the gap between available funding and the cost of maintaining safe

and reliable roads. If the City is unable to increase property tax revenues through the Truth-in-Taxation

process, a Transportation Utility Fee (TUF) will be necessary to fund road maintenance and operations.

The City prefers property tax funding because it is less costly to administer and allows residents to

benefit from existing property tax relief programs. The timing and scope of road projects will depend on

when the TUF can be implemented and the revenue it generates. For more information about the

proposed TUF, please see the Q&A section.

Budget Q&A Guide

Q: Why did the budget change after the tentative budget was adopted?

A: The Tentative Truth-In-Taxation Budget was based on the best information available at the time and

was intended as an initial planning document required under the state’s Truth in Taxation process, which

allows cities to propose property tax increases. Since its adoption, clearer financial data and revenue

limits have emerged, especially a dispute over the City’s eligibility to participate in the Truth in Taxation

process, which the City is challenging. While that dispute is being resolved, the City has prepared an

Alternate – Proposed FY27 Budget, which reflects operations without additional property tax revenue.

The City reduced or delayed some services, projects, and proposed staffing to keep this restricted budget

balanced and aligned with community priorities. To provide the necessary revenue for this budget, the

City is still awaiting final funding and financing information from Zions Bank. As additional details

become available, the budget may be updated and adjusted accordingly.

Q: Why are revenues lower than originally projected?

A: Revenue projections prepared during the incorporation feasibility study were based on sales tax trends

during the COVID-19 period. Those sales tax revenues were temporarily and artificially inflated and did

not reflect normal long-term revenue growth. As the City has begun collecting and analyzing actual

revenues, several categories are performing below the original projections. At the same time, the

feasibility study underestimated the startup expenses of a newly incorporated city. Actual revenue and

expenses are both significantly different from projections in the feasibility study, leaving the City with a

substantial funding gap. Updated forecasts now better reflect current economic conditions, normal sales

tax patterns, and slower-than-anticipated growth.

Q: What is creating the funding challenge?

A: The City is facing several financial challenges common to newly incorporated communities. Actual

revenues are lower than the projections in the feasibility study, while the cost of providing services and

maintaining infrastructure is higher than expected. The City is also managing cash flow challenges

because property tax revenues are not received until December and the City does not yet have significant

financial reserves. In addition, startup costs related to incorporation, including general plan and master

plan studies, have added additional financial pressure.

Q: Could staffing levels be affected?

A: Yes. Due to current financial constraints and limited revenue growth, the City will need to continue

relying heavily on volunteers and contracted support in several service areas. Limited staffing may result

in delayed response times for non-emergency services, projects, permitting, and resident assistance.

9 | P a g e

The City will continue prioritizing essential services while working to build long-term financial

sustainability.

Q: How does infrastructure funding affect service levels?

A: Consistent infrastructure investment helps prevent larger, more expensive repairs in the future.

Maintaining roads, storm drainage, and infrastructure on schedule helps preserve service quality and

reduce long-term costs.

Q: What services are protected as priorities?

A: Public safety, snow removal, and essential public services remain top priorities.

Transportation Utility Fee Q & A

Q: What is a Transportation Utility Fee?

A: A Transportation Utility Fee (TUF) is a dedicated monthly fee used to fund transportation infrastructure

and roadway maintenance. Similar to utility fees for water, sewer, or stormwater services, the fee

provides a stable and predictable funding source specifically for transportation-related needs.

Q: Why is a Transportation Utility Fee needed?

A: Transportation infrastructure costs continue to rise due to inflation, aging roads, increased traffic

demand, higher construction costs, and ongoing maintenance needs. The City is currently awaiting final

guidance regarding its ability to increase property tax revenues through the Truth-in-Taxation process. If a

property tax increase is not possible, a Transportation Utility Fee (TUF) will be needed to provide a stable

funding source for road maintenance and transportation infrastructure.

Q: What happens if roadway maintenance is delayed?

A: Deferred maintenance does not eliminate costs — it increases them. Preserving roads through

ongoing maintenance is significantly less expensive than allowing roads to deteriorate to the point where

full reconstruction is required.

Q: What would the Transportation Utility Fee fund?

A: The fee may support:

• Street maintenance and preservation.

• Pavement rehabilitation and overlays.

• Roadway safety improvements.

• Sidewalk and trail connectivity.

• Snow removal operations.

10 | P a g e

• Long-term transportation infrastructure planning.

Q: How is the fee structured?

A: Transportation Utility Fees are typically structured based on property type and estimated

transportation system usage. Residential, commercial, and industrial properties may have different fee

categories. The City plans to complete a study to evaluate how different users impact the road system

and to help ensure the fee structure and amounts are fair, reasonable, and aligned with actual roadway

use and maintenance needs.

Q: What are the benefits of a Transportation Utility Fee?

A: Benefits include:

• More stable and predictable transportation funding.

• Improved long-term roadway maintenance planning.

• Reduced risk of costly deferred maintenance.

• Greater transparency regarding how transportation dollars are used.

• The ability to preserve roadway conditions before major reconstruction becomes necessary.

11 | P a g e

FY27 Proposed Budget

Personnel

As funding levels become clearer, the City will review staffing and operational needs to determine the

best use of available resources. This review will consider current workloads, volunteer support, changes

resulting from bringing business license and building permit services in-house, and the additional

administrative responsibilities associated with implementing and managing a Transportation Utility Fee

(TUF), if required. No final decisions have been made, and future staffing needs will be evaluated based

on service demands, operational requirements, and available funding. Personnel costs for shared

positions are allocated among departments based on the estimated percentage of time each employee

is expected to spend supporting those activities.

12 | P a g e

Revenue

Taxes provide the largest source of City revenue, followed by licenses and permits, transportation

funding, and the proposed Transportation Utility Fee (TUF). Smaller revenue sources include impact fees,

charges for services, fines, intergovernmental revenue, and miscellaneous revenue.

13 | P a g e

Expenditures

The Alternate FY27 Proposed Budget focuses on available resources on core City services. The largest

expenditures are for roads and transportation, public safety, public works, building inspection, and

administration. Funding for some projects, studies, and service enhancements has been reduced or

delayed while the City works within current revenue constraints. The budget also includes an addition to

fund balance, which helps improve the City's financial stability, manage cash flow throughout the year,

and provide resources for unexpected expenses or emergencies.
