NORTH OGDEN -- Despite pending litigation, the city council is still scheduled to vote on the options for the controversial public works complex and to give authority to the city manager and mayor to pursue a bond agreement.

The city filed a lawsuit in 2nd District Court last Monday against Justin Fawson and Kent Bailey regarding the petition signed by just under 3,000 residents who want to vote on the bond parameters for the public works complex which were set on July 12 not to exceed $10 million. The complaint with the city's suit cites at least 10 errors the petitioners made with the petition.
