Z News Dear Sandy Resident,

By the time you read this I will have completed my first 100 days in office. Each day I am struck with a deep sense of gratitude for the opportunity to serve our city’s wonderful people, strong businesses, and talented city workforce who come together for one shared purpose building a safe, vibrant, welcoming city with immense opportunity for people from all walks of life.

Recently, I presented the State of the City address at our annual One Sandy Awards ceremony, where I announced “The state of our city is strong!” Indeed, it is, and we have demonstrated our strength by weathering the challenges

of the pandemic which has impacted every aspect of social life and stressed every sector of our local economy in ways we could have never imagined. But today we stand united, as strong as ever! It is a thrill to see people emerge from our “Covid Cocoons” and reunite with friends, family and neighbors. Our city’s early events like REAL soccer games, Hale Center Theater performances, Mountain America Expo shows and even our food truck nights have blown past attendance expectations because so many of us are eager to get back to normalcy and connect in person.

The state of the city also addressed the challenges the city is facing due to the unprecedented growth Utah is experiencing. Strong leadership and collaboration with residents and stakeholders are needed to find solutions to affordable housing, water conservation and infrastructure needs. I am committed, as your Mayor, to bring all of the parties together to be a part of the solution. You can watch the speech in its entirety and view the One Sandy Award winners on the Sandy City YouTube page.

Beautification Day is coming up on May 14th. I recently gathered a group of business leaders together to encourage more participation in these efforts. We received a very enthusiastic response and a willingness to support the cause.

Sandy Beautification Day is an amazing opportunity for business, residents and the city to come together to make Sandy a place we all are proud to live. There are still projects available! Please sign up to help by visiting the community events page at sandy.utah.gov or contact Charlie Millard at 801-568-2197.

During the recent legislative session, H.B. 440 Homeless Services Amendments was passed. This bill requires cities in Salt Lake County to help address the winter overflow issue for our homeless population. We have all witnessed the heart-breaking pictures of fellow human beings sleeping

on the streets in the depths of freezing winter temperatures. Over the next few months, I will be meeting with the Salt Lake County Mayors to identify sites where temporary shelters make sense for the community and the individuals who are served.

As a reminder, Bulk Waste Pickup is still underway.

Please take a minute to review the new requirements. Bulk waste piles must be no larger than 6 feet wide by 20 feet long by 4 feet high. They also must be placed 2 feet from the curb and 3 feet from storm drains. To read a list of the full requirements please visit sandy.utah.gov. We all want the bulk waste program to continue so please ensure materials stay out of storm drains- we can all work together to keep our waterways clean and safe!

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 City websites sandy.utah. gov and SandyNow.com and by accessing our social media channels Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube for daily updated information.

Expungements

SANDYARTS.COM

When a person is arrested or has a court case in the State of Utah, that record is a public record open for anyone to access. Expunging an arrest or court record removes the information about the arrest or case from the public record and seals it, and the individual involved can legally tell people it did not happen.

To expunge a case a person must receive certification from Utah’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), petition the court, pay a fee and receive a court order before the case is sealed to public access.

In 2019, the Utah Legislature passed a law, Utah’s Clean Slate Law, to automatically expunge certain low level offense cases after a certain amount of time from the public record without the individual involved having to receive certification from BCI, petition the court, pay a fee or wait for a court order. This program officially launched on February 10, 2022, and cases have already started to be expunged. Full implementation of the law will take time, so a case that qualifies may still be on the public record for several years as the State goes through the thousands of cases that currently qualify. Those who have cases that were expunged through the law will also not be notified.

To find more information about the Utah Clean Slate law and to see if your case qualifies go to cleanslateutah.org.

To see if your case has already been expunged go to www.utcourts.gov/mycase/ to set up a free account with the Utah State Courts to see all the cases you have on the public record including in the local Justice Courts. If you know which courts you have a case in you can also visit or call the court to see if the record has been expunged. To call the Sandy Justice Court call 801-568-7160.

In the 2022 Legislative Session, the State Legislature passed a bill to waive the court filing fee for those who file to expunge any case that either doesn’t qualify under the Utah Clean Slate Law or has yet to be expunged under the law. Currently, the fee is $150 to file in the State’s District Courts and $135 in local Justice Courts. Starting May 4th, 2022 and only until June 30th, 2023 the court’s filing fee will be waived to expunge a criminal record. Individuals will still need to pay a fee with the Bureau of Criminal Investigation to receive certification.

If you are interested in expunging your case helpful resources include the Utah’s State Court’s website at utcourts.gov/expunge and Salt Lake County’s Expungement Tool Kit at slco.org/cji/expungement-guide/.

Household Hazardous Waste and Reuse Facility Sandy is a member city of the Trans Jordan Landfill, located in South Jordan. The Landfill offers a unique program that benefits Sandy residents while protecting the environment. In partnership with Salt Lake County Health Department, the Trans Jordan Landfill provides collection of Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) for free. HHW are items that should not go in your garbage can such as paint, rechargeable batteries, oil, gasoline, fluorescent light tubes, antifreeze, pesticides, and fertilizer. The HHW program sorts and processes these materials in a safe manner to eliminate exposure to the environment.

New or slightly used products are transferred to a Reuse Shed. Items in the Reuse Shed are available free to the public at a first come first serve basis.

Items frequently found in the Reuse Shed: • Insect spray and repellant • Motor oil • Fuel stabilizer • Latex paint • Weed Killer • Stain and wood sealer • Household cleaners • Antifreeze • Fertilizer Sandy residents are encouraged to take items from the Reuse Center and use them for the purposes they were originally intended. Everyone saves! Sandy residents are not charged for the reused items and the HHW Facility avoids costly handling and disposal fees associated with more traditional management options.

Monday-Saturday 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Water Conservation Rate Structure

Over the past few months Public Utilities has proposed changes to the water rate structure that will help incentivize water conservation as we head into another drought year. These changes were presented in a public town hall meeting and in several public utilities advisory board meetings. After hearing feedback from the public and the advisory board, a final presentation was made to the city council in their March 29th meeting. If you want to catch up on these discussions, review the proposed changes, or use a bill predictor to estimate the impact of these changes to your own water bill, please visit the Conservation Rate Structure section of the Public Utilities website at: sandy.utah.gov/1897/Conservation-Rate-Structure At this point, the city council will vote on these changes to the Water Fee Schedule as part of the annual budget presentations in May or June. To provide additional feedback about these changes, you can use the form on the above website, or reach out directly to your city council representative.

I Am Sandy: Meet Kendall VanWagoner

Springtime Tips for a Safer Place Around this time of year, we begin to see an uptick in the number of residential burglaries in the city. Why and how does this happen? It is quite simple to explain really. As we are doing our yardwork, we often leave the garage door open as we work in the front yard. Once we finish working in the front of the house, we make our way around to the backyard or run inside the house to grab a drink. As we do this, we forget one very important thing…the garage door was left open. Thieves are very opportunistic people, and an open garage door is the invite they are waiting for. In the short amount of time, it takes to grab a drink of water from the kitchen, a thief can enter your garage, take a bike (or any other item) and be on their way.

The obvious way to avoid this is remembering to close the garage door. However, other tips would be to try and keep items in the back of the garage rather than close to the overhead door, especially more expensive items. Thieves don’t want to spend much time looking around, so they generally won’t go to the back of the garage. Try to keep tools and other smaller items concealed in boxes, baskets, rubber bins or garage cabinets. There are also several inexpensive technology items that you can purchase and install to alert you when you left your garage door open.

As always, if you see something…say something. Never hesitate to contact the police if you see something or someone that is suspicious.

Kendall is a Volunteer in Police Service (VIPS). He joined the VIPS program in 2012.

VIPS volunteers assist in the services that the Sandy City Police Department provides to the community. VIPS are highly trained individuals who act as an extra set of eyes and ears for the Police Department performing Mobile Patrol shifts. They report any suspicious activity they see to police patrol personnel on duty. They also help with other community oriented policing functions such as setting up traffic trailers, golf course patrols, ranger patrols of Dimple Dell Park and community events (to name a few).

Volunteers are required to be on shift 8 or more hours every month.

Kendall has always been involved in helping the Sandy community. Before VIPS he played an active role in the Neighborhood Watch program serving as a Quadrant Coordinator and Neighborhood Watch Area Leader. He was also a Mobile Watch Coordinator Volunteer in the late 90’s. When the Police Department started looking into a more intensive Mobile Watch Program which ultimately became the VIPS program, Kendall played an important role in helping through his experience in Mobile Watch.

Kendall has always been interested and supportive of Law Enforcement. He attended the Police Citizens Academy in 2001 which gave him the knowledge to understand the Police Department and Officers and be able to relate to how and why Police do things the way they do.

In 2014 the Police Department awarded Kendall with an Outstand Performance certificate for his role in the VIPS program. Kendall has embraced the VIPS program and has become trained in all aspects of it. He has become a trainer in the VIPS program helping other VIPS members learn the many intricacies VIPS entails.

During his time with VIPS, on top of what is required, he has served as secretary, mobile watch coordinator, vehicle maintenance coordinator and traffic trailer coordinator. Kendall has volunteered 819 hours for the Police Department.

Kendall is the volunteer that every agency wants! The Sandy Police Department is blessed to have his service.

He is dedicated, loyal, helpful, intelligent, and self-motivated. The Police Department thanks him!

The best thing about Kendall is his love for his family and church. If he’s not volunteering for the Police Department, you will find him spending his time and energy bettering his family and church.

Intermountain Healthcare donates more than $500,000 to address domestic and sexual violence in the state. (Wikimedia)

$540k donation from Intermountain Healthcare will provide help for domestic and sexual violence survivors

By Peri Kinder | peri.k@thecityjournals.com

O

ne in three women will experience domestic violence in the state of Utah.

Statistics also demonstrate that one in six women and one in 25 men experience rape or attempted rape, and one in three women will experience some form of sexual violence.

With such concerning numbers, Intermountain Healthcare is donating $540,000 and partnering with the nonprofit Utah Domestic Violence Coalition to assist Utahns who need help in recovering from the impacts of abuse.

“Access to resources is an essential part of the healing process,” said Mikelle Moore, senior vice president and chief community health officer at Intermountain. “The members of the UDVC work together to support domestic violence survivors in a way that makes access easier and the use of funds more efficient. Intermountain is proud to support their efforts ensuring services are available where and when survivors need it.”

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, sexual and domestic violence cases have risen 8.1% in Utah. The UDVC provides advocacy and education to member programs and community partners. Its membership includes nonprofit domestic violence shelters and sexual assault advocacy organizations.

The donation from Intermountain will

help cover the operations costs of UDVC members. These community organizations provide resources to address healing from trauma such as the reduction of psychological suffering.

UDVC will distribute the donation to more than a dozen local organizations: Canyon Creek Services, CAPSA, Dove Center, Friends Against Family Violence, Gentle Ironhawk, Healing Pathways, New Hope Crisis Center, New Horizons Crisis Center, Peace House, The Refuge, Safe Harbor, Seekhaven, South Valley Services, YCC, YWCA, Rape Recovery Center and Restoring Ancestral Winds. To learn more about the Utah Domestic Violence Coalition, visit udvc.org.

"The Utah Domestic Violence Coalition and our member programs are so grateful for the financial support from Intermountain Healthcare in meeting the increased need for services for survivors,” said Jennifer Campbell, executive director of UDVC. “Having operational funding will help our programs continue to provide their life-saving services and ensure that when someone is in need, they can find help." l
