Introducing: Envision Sandy 2050! |
|
The City of Sandy is excited to be kicking off a special project that occurs only once every few decades! This significant planning process will help shape the future of our city. |
|
ENVISION SANDY 2050, is a year-long project to gather resident input on your vision for the Sandy of tomorrow and put plans in place to make it a reality. Over the next six months we will take every opportunity to gather your thoughts and ideas and create a vision for the future. Your input will help develop goals, and ultimately, policy and zoning changes that will shape what Sandy looks and feels like in the future.
The result will be the City’s COMPREHENSIVE PLAN which will be approved by the State of Oregon and will guide current and future City Councils in making decisions about growth, the use of land, transportation, and more.
Get in on the start of this important community project and help shape the future of your city! Please visit Sandy-Speaks.org and answer a few preliminary survey questions about your vision for Sandy, then watch for more information about ways to weigh in.
Also, if you have – or take – a photo of something you love about Sandy, please upload it onto our Sandy-Speaks.org page!

Welcome to Our New Police Officers! |
|
Please help us welcome the two newest members of the Sandy Police family, Officers Quentin Carter and Ryan Anderson! Officer Carter (two upper photos) and Officer Anderson (two lower photos) were recently sworn in my Mayor Pulliam.
Our new officers, who are both native Oregonians, come to us from other law enforcement agencies. Officer Carter was most recently a member of the Oregon State Police and Officer Anderson was a member of the Salt Lake City Utah police department. They are both excited to continue their law enforcement careers here in the City of Sandy.

"During the hiring process, both of our new officers expressed how excited they were to be a part of this community and all it has to offer, from our city owned parks to our proximity to Mt. Hood and all of the outdoor opportunities in this area we call home. Please join me in welcoming Officer Anderson and Officer Carter to our wonderful community." - Chief Ernie Roberts |
