SANDY, OREGON THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1973
W ater Needs Increasing
The water shortage problem in
Sandy is here again this summer.
The city is presently working on
plans to expand the city w ater system
and supply and we hope the plans are
put before the public soon, so we do
not have to look forward to this water
problem each year
The city is growing and the need for
water is increasing every day.
To improve the city water system it
is going to take money and we hope
the residents and the future residents
will be willing to meet the cost needs
on a ballot issue If not. the city will be
facing an every day water shortage in
the future
Evaluation G uidelines N eed ed
The Sandy Police Department is
now being studied by an Evaluation
Committee.
It is just as important for the
committee to give ways to improve
the police department as it is to
evaluate in what areas the depart­
ment needs improving.
The committee members indicated
to the Post one of its possible goals
could be to give guidelines to the city
council on what can be done to
upgrade the local police in a three to
five year plan.
This plan could be put to good use
by the city council because the city is
growing and the demands on the
police are increasing with the influx
of people. A plan or guidelines would
help the council and police chief Fred
Punzel tremendously in planning for
the efficient running of the depart­
ment to best give protection to the
city residents.
Interested residents will have a
chance to talk to the Evaluation
Committee Wednesday (July 25) at
the city hall, 7:30 p.m. This is a
public meeting for discussion of the
Sandy Police Department and an
important part of the committee's
evaluation.
We will be waiting to see the find­
ings and recommendations of the
committee and how these are
followed by the city council and the
police.

It is this kind of narrow and
