The Tribune's Rosemary Winters reports that Sandy City Councilors will "take a closer look" at the city's bonus program, focusing in particular on why so much or the money goes to so few people at the top of the pay scale on such a regular basis.

But it doesn't appear the council is rushing to the human resources office to start sorting through the pay stubs. At Tuesday night's council meeting, Winters reports, it took four hours "to bring up the elephant in the chamber."

This week, The Tribune published details of the bonus program after winning a four-year legal fight with Sandy to have the public records disclosed. The council plans to discuss the budget -- including the issue of compensation -- during meetings the next few weeks and at a public hearing May 20.
