Council Member Business
Council Member Zoltanski spoke about the Central Wasatch Commission summit last
Friday. She asked for resident feedback and encouraged proactive community
engagement from residents to help guide the decision for a regional transportation plan.
The next CWC meeting is April 5th. She thanked Council Member Houseman for her
work on the CWC.
Council Member Robinson asked whether the recycling infographic on the city website
would be updated. He also asked for additional clarification regarding the recent
emergency declaration issued by the Governor.
Council Member Houseman spoke about a new program sponsored by the Sandy Club:
Sandy Club Gives Back. This month's service project included making fleece blankets
and donating the items to the Utah Humane Society. She acknowledged the Sandy
Senior Center for their innovative outreach efforts to keep our residents informed, engaged
and involved. Ms. Houseman thanked all who participated in the statewide food drive for
the Utah Food Bank. She spoke about the Central Wasatch Commission summit and the
shared priorities among the associated municipalities and invited residents to visit the
CWC website to learn more information.
Council Member Stroud encouraged all to attend the next Community Arts Guild play,
Frozen Jr. Please go to the website for more information.
Mayor's Report
Mayor Bradburn briefed the Council on the Covid vaccination process and provided details
about the Governor's recent emergency declaration. He spoke about the City's efforts to
reduce water usage and to educate the public on water-wise efforts to promote water
conservation. He also spoke about the Central Wasatch Commission and while the City
supports the CWC priorities, he felt it was premature to define transportation solutions
resulting in a multi-billion dollar investment without gathering more information from area
experts, businesses and the public.
CAO Report
Matt Huish, CAO, said the City is updating the infographic on the website. He thanked
Nick Duerksen for his efforts working with the Shops at South Town development. He also
mentioned the Parks and Recreation Department recently received $14,000 in grants.
