No extra charge for out-of-towners

The city council voted against charging extra recreation fees for those wanting to play sports in North Ogden that don’t live in the city.

The council was tied on the issue and Mayor Richard Harris broke the tie, voting to not charge extra.

Community services director Dave Nordquist advised against the change because of the other dealings the department has with other cities to use other parks and facilities in other cities. Nordquist said he doesn’t feel the trade-off would be worth it financially for the city.
