Z News Dear Sandy Resident,

Summer in Sandy cannot be beat! No matter your age or interest, there is something for everyone! Make sure to mark your calendars for Sandy’s upcoming Freedom Day Festival on July 4th. Our biggest celebration of the year is finally back after going dark the last two years due to Covid, and we’re so excited. This year, you’ll see the return of the parade, the Sandy Classic 4th of July 5k, the Youth Craft Fair and live music on the promenade. That night, grab your spot early on the promenade for Sandy’s biggest firework show ever! Please attend the city show and be aware of the mapped restricted areas where fireworks of any kind are prohibited (sandy.utah.gov/fireworks). For a list of all activities on the 4th of July visit sandy.utah.gov/July4th. For a list of all summer events check out the calendar in this month’s Sandy Journal. With drought conditions comes increased risks of fire due to fireworks. Make sure to check out the fireworks map to see where fireworks are allowed. Better yet, skip the personal fireworks and celebrate the holidays with Sandy City or one of the many large fireworks celebrations held throughout the valley. To view the fireworks map and get fireworks safety tips visit the Sandy City Fire Department fireworks information page at sandy.utah.gov. Have you checked out the lineup of concerts at the Sandy Amphitheater? I’m hearing from mayors all around the valley that they are amazed we’ve been able to attract so many headlining acts! You’ll want to get your tickets now at sandyamp.com. If that’s not enough entertainment for you, we’re in the middle of our Movies in the Park schedule, with three more movies scheduled for the month of July. We’re also really looking forward to this year’s Heritage Days festival in Historic Sandy on September 10th. It will feature a Horse Parade, great food, live music, and more. You won’t want to miss it!! I S S U E # 94

Now to a serious note, I’m sure you all heard about the serious multi-vehicle car crash on State Street and 10600 South last month which resulted in a tragic fatality as well as many others injured. My prayers are with all those families and those injured who are suffering as a result of this horrific accident. We are now in the 100 deadliest days of summer, the time of year when more drivers are traveling to destinations and traffic fatalities rise. Many of the deadly accidents are caused by excessive speed. Recently, I spearheaded a collaboration with my fellow mayors across the valley to launch a messaging campaign reminding drivers to slow down. A minute can save a life. Please know that our patrol officers in Sandy are out in force this summer to enforce all traffic laws, but they cannot be everywhere. We all need to do our part to slow down and drive aware. It’s better to get somewhere late than never. With hotter days, comes drier weather and the return of drought conditions. Here are a few steps you can take to conserve water this summer. Water less but don’t entirely stop watering - if you water at least one less time per week you can save an estimated 3,000 gallons of water for a quarter acre yard. Don’t water if it’s windy-turn off sprinklers on windy days or install a controller that automatically delays water cycles on windy days. Water at the right time - water between 7pm and 5 am to avoid evaporative loss. Water is life, we all need this precious resource and we all need to work together to conserve where we can. If you are a Facebook user, please take a minute to follow the Sandy Mayor Monica Zoltanski page. Social media is a quick and convenient way to share with residents the daily goings on in the Mayor’s office. It is also a great way to bring attention to any matters that need immediate action. Sign up for Sandy Notify to be contacted via text, email and calls during an emergency at sandy.utah.gov/myalerts. You can always connect with us by going to our website sandy.utah.gov/citizenconnect and by accessing our social media channels Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube for daily updated information. To reach me directly, please send an email to mayor@sandy.utah.gov. Yours in Service, Mayor Monica Zoltanski
