OVC to Codify and Digitize City Code
By Ogden Valley City Communications Team - 28 August 2026
Ogden Valley’s laws are going digital. The City Council has approved Resolution 2026-47, authorizing a Statement of Work and Master Services Agreement with CivicPlus to use its Municode service to codify and publish the city's municipal laws, organizing the general municipal code, land-use code, and other ordinances into a single, searchable online repository. The Municode collection will be placed on the city’s website, ogdenvalley.gov.
Mayor Wampler called the project a major step for municipal transparency, noting that the platform will let both staff and residents search the code directly and find accurate legal information quickly, rather than digging through separate documents posted as PDFs online.
City officials negotiated a first-year cost of $8,575, combining a $4,000 one-time setup fee with a $4,575 annual subscription. Council members and the City Recorder Sharon Robins said the negotiated price reflects meaningful concessions and makes the service far more cost-effective than relying on volunteers or manual, in-house tracking.
Among the platform's features is historical version tracking, which will let users see exactly when specific code provisions took effect. CivicPlus will also deliver a printed copy of the compiled municipal code to the city recorder twice a year, preserving a physical archive alongside the digital one.
