When he was running for re-election in October 2003, the Ogden Sierra Club sent Mayor Godfrey a candidate questionnaire. The following questions and responses may be relevant to projects that the mayor is currently promoting.
Sierra Club: Would you support additional development of private property along Ogden's east bench? If so, to what extent?
Godfrey: I'm not exactly sure what you are referring to here. Most of the east bench is completely built out. I don't support changing slope requirements to allow for additional building if that is what is meant.
Sierra Club: Do you support the concept of building a tram, gondola, or other developed recreation facility on the Wasatch Mountains above Ogden? Why or why not?
Godfrey: Only under the following four conditions: 1) It is positive for the environment 2) It is desired by the people of Ogden 3) It is a significant economic engine for downtown 4) It does not have a significant negative impact on neighborhoods.
