B RAD BUR N BR I EF Dear Sandy Resident, I pray this newsletter finds you and your families safe and well. It has most certainly been a tumultuous few months. I am reminded of a quote by Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr. that states, “There are no great people in this world, only great challenges which ordinary people rise to meet.” There has been no shortage of great challenges in the last few months and I have witnessed our community rise up to meet them in extraordinary ways. I am certain no matter what we may face in the coming months, we will meet the challenges and come out stronger than ever. Even though many of the summer events we look forward to all year are canceled, that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of activities to enjoy. This is a perfect time to explore Sandy City’s vast trail system and parks. You can find a map at sandy.utah.gov/maps. Join the Sandy City hiking club which meets weekly starting in August. Alta Canyon Recreation Center is now open and features an outdoor swimming pool, exercise classes, tennis and pickleball courts, sand volleyball, youth summer camps, and sports clinics. Now is a great time to pick up a new hobby! River Oaks Golf Course offers adult and youth golf clinics throughout the summer. Visit sandy.utah.gov/riveroaks for more
information. Pickleball clinics start up in August. Start practicing for the adult kickball league in the fall. Take advantage of Grandpa’s Pond on 900 W. Shields Lane or Bell Canyon Reservoir to catch a few fish. Hone your navigation skills by exploring the geocaches in Sandy. For a list of geocaches in the area visit sandy.utah.gov/geocaching. We are extremely fortunate to live in a place where outdoor recreation opportunities are endless and you can’t beat the summers in Utah. Lastly, please remember that you can always connect with us by visiting sandy.utah.gov and SandyNow.com and by accessing our social media channels Facebook, Instagram, Twitter @sandycityutah, and on YouTube @sandycityut for regularly updated information. For current information on service changes due to COVID-19, please visit sandy.utah.gov/coronavirus. You can also contact me at mayor@sandy.utah.gov. Thank you for allowing me to serve you! Mayor Kurt Bradburn
Why Only 2 or 3 Minutes? If you have ever participated in a public hearing process, you may have wondered why the public is limited on the time they are allowed to speak on a given item or during a public comment period. Citizen input is an essential part of planning for a community. A time limit is often initiated to help ensure that everyone that wishes to speak can be heard and so that the public body can accomplish its business in a reasonably efficient manner. Prior to the meeting, the public may be requested to fill out a comment card if they wish to speak so that the Chair can determine how much time to allot. Time limits instituted by the body should be equitably applied to all members of the public wishing to address the topic being discussed. In Sandy City, typically a 2- to 3-minute time limit is placed on a speaker from the public. City staff, applicants, or other parties may be provided more time to brief the public body on the matter at hand. If there is a desire by a member of the public to have more than a few minutes to comment, emails or other forms of written communication may be submitted to staff for I S S U E # 71

the record, or additional time may be requested in advance of the meeting. The City believes in having an effective planning process that reaches out to the community for input and guidance and does not limit that interaction to a single public hearing. A project or idea does not begin at the public hearing, but often spends months or even years in the planning stage prior to being placed before a public body for decision. While public comment is significant at these hearings and can influence the outcome, a more direct way to impact the process is by reaching out to the City and giving input early on. There are a number of ways you can learn about early information as well as open houses and workshops. These include following City agendas, signing up on the Utah Public Notice site at utah.gov/pmn, and by following the city social channels @SandyCityUtah. While the City maintains a highly skilled and qualified staff, communication from citizens who live in the community is essential to ensuring we are providing an environment that offers them a high quality of life.

CODE ENFORCEMENT CORNER: Is my grass dormant or dead?
Fact: Lawns hibernate. Plants need water to survive, but they will also “go to sleep” if they do not get enough water. During periods of dormancy, grass will turn brown in order to conserve water. Dormant grass and dead grass often look very much alike, but generally if you water a brown lawn for a few days, and it turns green again, it was dormant and if it stays brown, it’s dead. What are the costs associated between keeping your lawn watered versus allowing it to die and having to replace it at a later date to comply with city ordinances? • The average Sandy resident uses approximately 31,000 gallons total each month during peak season months (June–October). The monthly fee for this average water use is $86.05. • If you allow your lawn to die, replacement costs are an average $1,800.* ($.90 cent average cost per square foot) • If you follow code and maintain lawn, cost is approximately $430.27 annually.* (assumes a water efficient sprinkling system) *Based on 2,000 square foot lawn

Public Utilities – Audit your watering for yard maintenance According to the Utah Department of Water Resources, a typical Utah household will use twice as much water outside as necessary [from: https://conservewater.utah.gov/reslawnguide.html]. Do you want to save money and conserve water this summer? Consider these tips: 1. The average lawn in Salt Lake County only needs to be watered about three times per week, NOT every day. 2. Aim to apply about ½” of water each time you water. Wondering how to calculate the amount of water you’re using? Spread some containers throughout your yard and see how much water you collect during a watering session. 3. Using the same type of sprinkler heads will help you apply water uniformly throughout your yard. If you feel like this is a good start but want some direct help and feedback about your own yard, consider scheduling a water audit. This program is free for Sandy residents through our partnership with METRO and Utah State University. To schedule a water audit for your yard, go to: cwel.usu.edu/watercheck
