Accounting/Finance
Click here to be taken to the November 2022 Financial Report, which includes information for all funds and departments.

Finance Department staff have started preliminary work for the Biennium 2024-2025 budget process. There are currently four open seats on the Budget Committee, with only two new applicants to day. We will continue to recruit in hopes that we will have a full Committee.

The City continues to bargain with the Sandy Police Association for a contract that will be retroactively applied to July 1, 2022. The Council has been kept up-to-date with the status of negotiations during Executive Session meetings.

Staff will be bringing a request before the Council in December to modify a few items on the Master Fee Schedule. As always, our goal is to cover the cost of providing certain services, while also ensuring we keep pace with rising inflation.

Municipal Court
We continue to see more defendants coming into City Hall to take care of their citations, as well as an increase in requests for trials. $63,950 in citations were sent to collections during the month. Staff will be implementing a new process in January in hopes that defendants will make payments on their citations in-lieu of needing to be sent to collections to clear their citation.

Utility Billing
37 accounts were shut off this month for non-payment. This is the highest number we have seen since before the COVID-19 pandemic. Staff has not changed any processes related to shut off, so we are hopeful this is not the new normal. If a high number of shut offs becomes more regular, staff will explore other options to ensure that payments are being made on time.
