Ogden (Utah). City Council

Resolutions are a course of action or formal statement of a decision made by the city council. The decision may perform the same function as a city ordinance, but punishments, fines, and forfeitures may not be imposed by resolution. Unlike ordinances, resolutions may become effective without publication or public posting, but must do so within three months from the date of passage. Topics of resolutions usually deal with establishing water and sewer rates; charges for garbage collection; creating personnel policies and guidelines; passing or defeating proposed budgets for the municipal government; and regulating the use and operation of municipal property.
