Costco, from 1 to 4 p.m. By CRAIG MURPHY Of the Keizertimes Want to be the artist that helps design Keizer’s next pub- lic mural? If so, remember this date: Tuesday, March 31 at 6 p.m. at Keizer Civic Center. That’s when the newly re- named Keizer Public Arts Commission (KPAC) will host a Call to Artists Mural Planning meeting. KPAC members Jill Hagen and former Keizer Mayor Lore Christopher recently came up with the idea to have the city’s second public mural painted this summer along the long north wall of Town and Coun- try Lanes, located at 3500 River Road North. With the blessings of bowl- ing alley owner Don Lebold, Hagen designed a preliminary design that will be about 140 feet long and nine feet tall. Hagen showed off illustrations Tuesday, April 7 Organizational meeting for Big Toy playground project, 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Big Toy site in Keizer Rapids Park in the morning, at Keizer Civic Center in the afternoon.

The selected artists would mainly be working on inserts highlighting various design elements such as grapes, fi lberts, trees, snow- fl akes, fi sh, cherries, peaches, hops, strawberries and irises. More details will be dis- cussed at Tuesday’s meeting, in- cluding fi nancial compensation for the selected artist(s). Designs have to be submitted to city hall by April 30. The plan is to have the mural done this summer. Keizer’s fi rst public mural was completed last year along the west wall of Keizer Flo- rist on Chemawa Road. One advantage of the Town and Country Lanes location is the wall being used is much more visible to vehicles driving past. “Sherwin-Williams has al- ready said they will help us out with the paint,” Christo- pher said. “We’re giving artists the month of April to come back with a design. At our May meeting we’ll decide.” Hagen emphasized her de- sign is simply a rough draft. “This is not done; it’s a gen- eral concept,” she said. “These are the general dimensions for these kinds of things.” Rick Day was surprised Lebold didn’t insist on another design element. “He didn’t ask for bowling pins?” Day asked. Hagen confi rmed that. “He just asked for fi sh,” she said. Christopher noted the OCF grant requires community members to be involved, hence the reliance on youth to. “The thing was about bringing the whole community together to experience art,” she said. Parks, streets among WKNA topics By CRAIG MURPHY Of the Keizertimes Developments at Bair Park could mean more money for Keizer’s Parks Department. Bill Lawyer, Public Works director for Keizer, gave an update on several topics at the March 12 West Keizer Neigh- borhood Association meeting. AT&T has a cell tower at Bair Park. Recently, Verizon signed an agreement to co-lo- cate on the pole, or use some of the output. That more than off- sets revenue lost recently in the orchards at Keizer Rapids Park. “The rent for the co-locate for Verizon is $800 a month to the city,” Lawyer said. “The proposed reduction with the orchard was $1,000 a year. The funds (from Verizon) goes half to parks, half to the water fund until the water fund has paid off its investment at Bair Park. “There were four half-acre parcels,” he added. “The parks fund and water fund each bought two parcels. We split the cost 50-50 and built the water tank. Half the rent goes into the parks fund, while half goes into the water fund until we recoup the investment (for the tank).” Could some of those funds be put into the Keizer Parks and Recreation Advisory Board’s matching grant program? The program started this fi scal year with a total of $14,000. “The grant question is a good question,” Lawyer said. Monday, April 6 Keizer City Council meeting, 7 p.m. in council chambers at Keizer Civic Center. of her general concept at this week’s KPAC meeting, com- plete with bowling balls near both ends. “These are ones I’ve put in, the little bowling balls,” Hagen told fellow KPAC members. Beth Melendy was among those appreciating the design. “I love those bowling balls,” Melendy exclaimed. Christopher noted the de- sign could change, though one thing must remain. “This could totally change when we have the artists here,” Christopher said. “Don really wanted a stream with jump- ing fi sh. If we could accom- modate that, anything else we can do. We have a $2,500 grant from the Oregon Community Foundation. It’s for a commu- nity tapestry. We’re trying to engage older kids in the back- ground, and younger kids with the hands for iris fl owers. There might be some other ideas in looking back in the KT “That is a budget commit- tee or council policy question. The budget I’ve put together has the same $14,000 for next year. We’ve identifi ed some im- provements we could make. It’s a little premature to go into the details, since they have to be reviewed by the fi nance folks. We’re proposing to resurface the Claggett Creek south park- ing lot and to also redo the ga- zebo roof there. We knew we would be able to do the Willa- mette Manor tennis court. Be- cause of the additional revenue, we may not be done yet.” Also being looked at is wid- ening Delight Street between Chemawa Road and Cum- mings Lane. “They’ve talked about want- ing to see what can be done for bike and pedestrian safety,” Lawyer said. “We had a draft plan put together in the past. I’m trying to explore ways we can do that.” Lawyer said plans include widening Delight by six feet along both sides of the road. However, any such project would have to be coordinated with the Salem-Keizer School District, since it would change the parking situation at Cum- mings Elementary School along Delight. “We would need to have a solid idea of what we’re plan- ning to do fi rst,” Lawyer said. Lawyer said such a project would most likely be two years down the road. “There is a real outside chance it could be something we’re working on in July 2016, but it’s more likely to be the following year,” Lawyer said. “There is no defi ned prior- ity list. There are some projects outlined in our Transportation System Plan. There are some very broad date ranges given to those, but nothing I’ve seen in terms of a specifi c prioritized list.” One project with more certainty is sidewalks along Chemawa from Verda Lane to Lockhaven Drive, which did not get discussed during the Area C discussions last fall. “Chemawa from Verda to Chemawa will get sidewalks as part of the Area C agreement from the past,” Lawyer said. “(Project proponents) pay their fi rst share upon the issuance of a public improvement permit. From that point the city has two budget cycles additional to get it built. That agreement got carried forward.” local weather sudoku Enter digits from 1-9 into the blank spaces.
