Purpose & Efficiency w/ Executive Director of Administrative Services for Ogden City [Ep. 43]

In this episode of The Ogden Way Podcast, Mayor Ben Nadolski sits down with Lisa Stout, Ogden City’s Executive Director of Administrative Services, to pull back the curtain on the work residents don’t always see, but feel every day. Together, they talk about what it really takes to run a city well: building a budget that reflects priorities, scrutinizing spending with purpose, and making sure every dollar connects back to impact for the people Ogden serves.

Lisa shares how the City is moving toward deeper accountability through zero-based budgeting, operational efficiencies, smarter use of grants and partnerships, and a more data-driven approach to measuring outcomes. It’s a conversation about staying grounded in the “why,” being willing to challenge the way things have always been done, and continuously improving, because good governance isn’tjust about balancing spreadsheets, it’s about delivering better service with transparency, discipline, and heart.
