Dear Sandy Resident,

Happy Holidays from all of us at Sandy City! e rst year as your mayor has been lled with amazing events, opportunities to meet many residents in the community and working with our incredible Sandy sta . We were blown away by the attendance to our community events this year. 4th of July, the Heritage Festival, Trunk or Treat and the Light up the Cairns event far exceeded our expectations in participation. It is clear residents are happy to be back forming connections as a community after the last few years. Sandy sta will be busy adding to our events and planning for even bigger turn outs in 2023!

e holidays are some of the best times of the year. However, the holidays present a greater risk for res especially from indoor lights and decorations. Make sure to test smoke alarms, keep candles away from anything that can burn and replace any string of lights with worn or broken cords. Blow out lit candles and turn o all light strings and decorations before leaving home or going to bed.

Winter is upon us. at means the snowplows are out in force. Please do your part to help them clear the roads by keeping cars o the roads when snowstorms are imminent. After the snow starts to fall, the snowplow driver’s priority

is to make all main roads passable for schools, hospitals, clinics, re & police stations, and commuter tra c. If the snow continues to fall, the city’s rst goal is to continually keep those main roads open. In such instances, it is unlikely that residential roads will be reached immediately because main roads must be repeatedly plowed. We appreciate your patience and understanding during a big snowstorm. Please know they will get to your roads; it may just take a little longer than we all like.

2023 will be a year of making big decisions for the city. Capital projects and hiring additional re ghters to service a city of our size will be ongoing conversations with the city council. I hope you will take the time to attend or listen virtually to the city council meetings every Tuesday night. We need the input of all Sandy residents to make the best decisions for the future of the city. You can nd the link

to listen to city council meetings by visiting sandy.utah.gov and clicking on the city council page.

Don’t forget about the mayor’s public open hours held the rst ursday of every month. If you have an issue, suggestion or just want a tour of the mayor’s o ce, you can contact Cortney Kuntz at ckuntz@sandy.utah.gov to set up a meeting with me.

To reach me directly, please send an email to mayor@ sandy.utah.gov. To request a meeting or appearance with the mayor, ll out the meeting request form at www.sandy.utah.gov/mayor

Holidays to you and yours!,

Happy

Mayor Monica Zoltanski

volunteer hours

One of the best parts about the holiday season is getting together with family and friends. As we begin to plan all our gatherings, we want to share a few parking reminders, so our o cers don’t have to ruin anyone’s Christmas party!

One of the most frequent is winter parking. Sandy City code states: (a)No person shall park a vehicle on any street from November 1 to April 30 for a period of time longer than one hour between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 7:00 a.m. of any day, except during emergency calls. Overnight parking on any street, during the period herein speci ed, is hereby prohibited. (b)No person shall park or leave a vehicle on any street during any snowstorm, nor shall such vehicle be parked on said street within 24 hours after the end of such storm. (Sec. 14-7-3. - Snow Removal, Parking Prohibited, Tra c Code, § 153)

e other most frequent parking complaints we get are parking “In front of, within ve feet of, or directly across from a public or private driveway” (Sec. 14-72 – Stopping, Standing or Parking Across Lines, Tra c Code, § 148)

Please help keep our streets clear of these parking issues so our snow plows and our rst responders can better serve you.

Happy Holidays from Sandy Police Department.

Making Roads and Neighborhoods Safe During the Winter

During the winter months, travel conditions can change quickly during a major snowstorm. Oftentimes, just getting to and from destinations like work and school can be stressful. Icy conditions can cause delays and be very dangerous. It is a priority of Sandy City to minimize the danger and to make all public areas including parks and roads safe and passable as quickly as possible.

• e Public Works Department has crews prepared 24 hours a day in the event of a storm. eir priority is to make all main roads passable for schools, hospitals, re stations, and commuter tra c. If the snow continues to fall, the city’s rst goal is to keep the main roads clear. In such instances, it is unlikely that residential roads will be reached immediately because main roads must be repeatedly plowed. After main roads are cleared, they can move to other roads, residential streets, and cul-de-sacs depending on the size of the storm and the amount of snowfall. Please keep in mind that it could be 12-18 hours after a storm ends before a plow enters your neighborhood.

• e Parks Division maintains over 90 locations for snow removal. eir priority is to clear sidewalks near city buildings and school walkways. Crews can clear snow from all paved sections of trails and jogging paths as soon as all other priority locations are safe. Depending on the size of the storm, crews may not be able to reach a location for a couple of days.

• e Police Department strives to keep city streets safe during a snowstorm. ey would like to remind drivers that there are parking restrictions on residential streets during the winter months from Nov. 1 through April 30. is is for the safety of the residents in that neighborhood and for the snowplow drivers who must clear the streets. Police o cers can either cite vehicles or have them towed if they are parked on city streets during a storm or within 24 hours after a storm.

• e Fire Department asks that residents clear areas around re hydrants. Time is of the essence when a structure is on re, and someone needs assistance. Hydrants are in every neighborhood and delays can come when snow or other debris blocks hydrants. Take a few minutes to clear the area around a hydrant.

Other

tips for making your neighborhood safer:

• Clear snow from your sidewalk within 24 hours of a storm.

• Do not create a hazard by blowing or pushing snow into any city street.

• Clear common areas in neighborhoods such as mailboxes, re hydrants or sidewalks for children walking to school.

• Help the elderly or in rmed by shoveling their areas.

It is our goal to clear the snow within a reasonable timeframe and quickly resolve any safety issues. For questions regarding snow removal, please call:

Private sidewalks – Code Enforcement: (801) 568-7254
