Summer is here, and Cherry Days Festival is right around the corner. Plan to come to a wonderful day of fun for our great City.
Open letter from Mayor Chugg:
Summertime is the best time of year. We are fast approaching the “Good Old Summertime,” my favorite time of the year. It is a time of the year for family activities with all the fun and frolics. The first step to having a more enjoyable summer is carving out time for it and putting together a plan. Make weekends real time off from the day-to-day work and activities. Turn off your email on Friday evening and don’t turn it back on until Monday morning. Say no to some time-draining requests. Remember, vacation days should be devoted to deliberate fun. Summer’s best days will be here and gone before you know it.
There are many things you can do that don’t cost a lot of money. You just need to be creative. You can explore your own city and its landmarks. There is a lot of history in our local area, including museums, local parks, hiking trails, bike trails, camping and special summer events. There is our City water park for family fun, and larger bodies of water close by for other water activities.
Start a garden or expand your existing one. Working in the garden can be very therapeutic. It is enjoyable to grow your own produce and enjoy the fresh taste of your favorite vegetables. The “know how” can be very beneficial. During the harvest you can come up with various ways of preparing them. It is amazing how much you can produce and even share with your neighbors. Zucchini squash is always very prolific!
Learn something new; the human brain is hard-wired for learning. You may be surprised to discover how much you love learning when it is a subject that truly interests you. The list of subjects is infinite.
Participate in our upcoming Cherry Days. There will be parades, sport activities, fun rides for the kids, a fun summer play called Once on this Island that is produced by local talent, and fireworks to celebrate the birth of our great country.
All in all, it is a great time of the year to spend with friends and family. I hope your summer will be enjoyable!
-Brent Chugg, Mayor

There is a watershed project under way The United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), with assistance of the Weber-Box Elder Conservation District (WBECD) and North Ogden City as the project sponsors, are proposing improvements within he North Ogden Watershed. Proposed improvements include a detention basin, an irrigation reservoir, storm drain improvements, an upgraded pump station, and community recreation facilities. Irrigation water regulated through the system would serve portions of North Ogden City, Pleasant View City, and Harrisville City. The facility’s recreational components would provide the surrounding area with an open waterfront complete with restrooms, shelters, walking paths, beach areas, and parking. The purpose of the proposed watershed measures would be to:
1). Prevent flood damages; and,
2). Improve the conservation, utilization and dispersal of water.
An evaluation of potential alternatives and associated environmental impacts is required and will be documented in the Form of an Environmental Assessment (Plan-EA). NRCS and North Ogden City will hold a public meeting to provide information about the proposed project and to collect comments.At this time, NRCS is requesting comments on the project to identify issues and resource sensitivities. Written comments can be submitted during the open comment period starting June 1, 2018, and ending on June 30, 2018. Comments must be received by June 30, 2018.
PUBLIC MEETING-The public is invited to attend, discuss, and submit a comment during the public open house, which will be held on June 12, 2018 - Tuesday 4:00 PM to 6:00 Pm North Ogden City Office Building 505 E 2600 North • North Ogden
