I spend a lot of time in different areas and neighborhoods of our beautiful city. I am always impressed by those homes and yards—whether large or small—that are neat and orderly and which add to their neighborhood. To help keep our city and neighborhoods clean, we have organized a “City Pride Spring Clean Up” to take place May 16th-23rd. During this week we will be staging large dumpsters at the Green Waste Facility (2750 N. Mountain Rd.) to receive large trash items, old appliances, computers and electronics, yard waste items, used tires, large recycle items (big boxes, plastic swing sets), etc. These items will be accepted for free from North Ogden residents. We are hoping that citizens will take this opportunity to clean up homes, yards, neighborhoods, and our city in general. If we each take pride in our neighborhoods, we can make a difference in how our city looks and feels. We encourage church and civic groups to get involved in service projects during this event. These could be cleaning up a hillside area above our city, knocking down weeds on an abandoned building lot, or finding an elderly neighbor who needs a little extra help taking down some tree limbs or pulling out weeds. Please see the enclosed flyer for more information on this event, including hours of operation. This City Pride Clean Up event will be followed by more aggressive code enforcement of junk and weed ordinances, so this presents a good opportunity for all of us to clean up and to show our city pride.

Items that are not compost materials can be thrown into the dumpster located in the compost area. If everyone will pick up one mislaid item the problem would be resolved. CHANNEL / CANAL CLEANING If you live near a channel or canal the City is asking that you take a moment to inspect the area to assure there is no debris that may cause a blockage near your property or downstream. If you clean out debris from the canals, please bag it up and call the City to have it picked up. DETENTION PONDS We are fortunate to live in a city with its beautiful surroundings and spectacular views. With those mountains and views come hillsides, slopes, and steep grades, which require detention ponds to slow the flow of water, from running out of the city too fast. There are over 30 detention ponds throughout the city and chances are that you and keep it from running too quickly. We are asking for your consideration and cooperation in maintaining those ponds by not using them for your refuse (limbs, grass, animal waste, etc.). Your refuse causes added work for the 2-person maintenance team and limits the proper flow of water in the ponds. Thank you.

They also get to attend leadership retreats, meet with other youth their age, and learn leadership skills for life. City Youth Council is a fantastic chance for kids to make lots of new friends, and serve the community while having a ton of fun!

POLICE 515 E 2600 N | 801-782-7219 We would like to remind residents of a few crime reporting tips: - Report incidents to the police immediately upon discovering them. The sooner an incident is reported, the more likely the evidence can be preserved, and that the suspects will still be in the area. - If possible, do not touch items that the suspects may have touched. Handling these items can contaminate any fingerprint evidence. - The more information you can provide about the suspects or suspect vehicles, the more likely it is that the suspects will be located. - If you think a crime is being committed, but are uncertain, report it. Observant residents reporting suspicious activity in their neighborhoods can help prevent crime from happening in the first place, or can lead to a quick resolution if a crime was committed. To report a crime, please call the following numbers: Emergency Dispatch – 911 ~ Police/Animal Control NonEmergency Dispatch – 801-629-8221
