Field House

Agenda item in work meeting puzzles Ogden officials

Last updated Thursday, May 5, 2011 - 11:55pm

OGDEN -- City Council Chairwoman Caitlin K. Gochnour leaned her head on the back of her chair and stared at the ceiling.

Her body language seemed to sum up the apparent exasperation of some council members and city administration officials during a tense 2 1/2-hour work session Tuesday night.

An agenda listed the topic of discussion for the meeting as "city needs." But the city council and Mayor Matthew Godfrey could not concur on what that vague description meant.

A feasibility study for a field house in Ogden is much discussed, so we need to define the word "feasible."

When something is feasible, it is possible, but only if.

If what? If a lot. Feasibility studies for public works projects are strings of IFs, and those IFs have to happen before "feasible" becomes "real."
