JANUARY 9, 2015, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE 9 KEIZERTIMES/Craig Murphy Top left: The outgoing Keizer City Council poses for one last group shot Monday. L to R: Dennis Koho, Marlene Quinn, Joe Egli, Lore Christopher, Jim Taylor, Kim Freeman and Cathy Clark.

NEW, continued from Page 1 continue to sail this ship and keep it steady as she goes.” Ripp admitted after the meeting she was nervous be- fore the proceedings began. “This is the biggest privi- lege I’ve ever been given,” Ripp said of serving. “I am beyond excited. I haven’t been nervous about it until tonight. I am less nervous now.” Herrera has maintained from the start he put his 2011 incident behind him long ago. “I’m ready to work hard,” he said. “I appreciate the sup- port of the people of Keizer. I’m ready to get started. This has been a long time coming for me. I just wanted to take the high road.” Smith feels he’s more pre- pared for his second term on council. “I didn’t know a darned thing the fi rst time,” Smith quipped. “This time I have the experience. I kept up to speed the last two years by be- ing on the Parks Board and Storm Water Advisory Com- mittee. Two years was not that much time off. It took me six months to decompress the fi rst time I left council.” Though he has the experi- ence this time, Smith said he’s not going to push for radical changes. “I’m not the person who comes in with a list of things we ought to change,” he said. “That’s not me. I want to keep an even keel and keep a good thing going.” Monday’s meeting was mostly ceremonial, as there was no public comment and no agenda items requiring approval. Councilors selected former mayor Dennis Koho to serve as the 2015-2017 council president (Marlene Quinn declined a nomination for the post). Councilors were also ap- pointed to various commit- tees. Ripp was appointed to the Keizer Arts Commission, Keizer Festival and Events (along with Quinn) and Traffi c Safety/Bikeways/Pedestrians. Smith was appointed to the Audit Committee with Koho and Kim Freeman, as well as Planning Commission, SWAC (with Koho and Freeman) and Community Build Task Force (along with Quinn). Herrera was appointed as liaison to Greater Gubser Neighbor- hood Association and Iris Fes- tival, as well as Keizer Points of Interest Committee. As far as returning coun- cilors, Koho was appointed to fi re district quarterly meetings. Freeman was appointed to Personnel Policy Committee (with Quinn and Clark), West Keizer Neighborhood Asso- ciation and Claggett Creek Watershed Council. Quinn was appointed to the Parks Board and the Community Build Task Force fundraising committee (taking Christo- pher’s place) and the Oregon Rail Study. Clark was appointed to Economic Development and Government Affairs, Salem River Crossing Oversight Team, SKATS, MWACT, Keizer Heritage Association, SEDCOR Board of Direc- tors and Mid Willamette Val- ley Council of Governments Board of Directors. Once those appointments were done, councilors se- lected their representatives to the Volunteer Coordinating Committee, which oversees members of the various com- mittees and groups in Keizer. At the end of the meeting, councilors each appointed a person to serve on the Volun- teer Coordinating Commit- tee. Herrera appointed Mike Maghan, Quinn appointed Amy McLeod, Ripp went with Larry Jackson, Free- man chose Trish Crenshaw, Smith tabbed Lois Anderson, Clark went with Daisy Hick- man and Koho chose outgo- ing councilor Joe Egli, which seemed to be a bit of a sur- prise to Egli’s wife Shelly. Due to Oregon playing for the national college football title Jan. 12, the council work session scheduled for that night was moved to Jan. 26 at 5:45 p.m. Business&Services FAMILY FRIENDLY DINING FAMILY LAW MINORS WELCOME FUNERAL HOME We are Everything Except Overpriced Divorce Custody Salem - 412 Lancaster Dr / 503-581-6265 Low Cost Cremation, Burial, & Funerals Simple Cremation - $495 Simple Direct Burial - $550 Traditional Funeral - $1,975 Eggert & Associates PC Attorney at Law 960 Broadway St NE, Suite 2 - Salem FREE POKER • THU AT 7PM PRIME RIB • FRI & SAT NIGHT CR 503-837-6111 CR CR HOME IMPROVEMENT Keizer Beltone YES WE DELIVER! • FREE TESTING • New Digital Technology • Many FREE services • Hearing Aid Repairs 503.393.7037 0403 PET CARE SERVICES McKinley Landscape Maintenance, LLC 503-393-0285 503-935-1893 LCB #9309 McKinleyLandscapeLLC.com 0306 0130 NURSING & REHAB REAL ESTATE FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED FOR OVER 39 YEARS Grooming, Boarding, Training, Daycare Looking for professional, motivated individuals interested in a new career.
