By CRAIG MURPHY
Of the Keizertimes
So far, the process for Keizer’s second
public mural hasn’t gone as smoothly as
the fi rst one.
A proposed timeline to do a mural
along the long north wall at Town &
Country Lanes in September has been
called into question lately.
As mentioned previously in the Keiz-
ertimes, at last month’s Keizer Public Arts
Commission (KPAC) meeting Jill Hagen
introduced the idea of waiting until next
spring to do the mural.
Among the issues has been fi nalizing
a design. KPAC members agreed last
month to select several images to use for
a mural depicting the Keizer Iris Festi-
val Parade. Members will review the top
choices at their July 28 meeting.
City Councilor Amy Ripp, the council
liaison to KPAC, volunteered herself and
KPAC member Rick Day to get the wall
– estimated to be 140 feet wide per Lore
Christopher’s measurement and nine feet
high – ready for the project. That work
would include pressure washing the wall,
painting it with gray primer and then
writing “Everyone loves a ?....” in large
lettering.
However, there is currently a question
of whether the project can go forward.
“We were talking about the perfect
time to do it, whether the fall or next
spring,” Ripp said this week. “I don’t
think we’re be-
hind
schedule.
Where we’re at
in the process
is waiting for a
contract to be
signed by both
parties (city and
business). Rick
and I are ready
to start prepping
the wall. I hadn’t
heard we’re on
hold, we just had
to get everything signed.”
Ripp emphasized the prep work on
the wall can be done whenever.
“We can prime it without the con-
tract,” Ripp said. “Rick has a pressure
washer. That can be anytime. The last e-
mail I got was we’re waiting for the legal
department, which wanted to fi nalize the
artwork. Next meeting will go through
all the pictures and decide what goes on
it.
“I think people are excited about it,
there’s just a question about the process
of doing it,” she added.
Nate Brown, di-
rector of Commu-
nity Development for
Keizer, agreed prep
work can be done but
not anything more.
“In reviewing the
issues with the legal
department, we have
to be careful that we
understand that any-
— Amy Ripp thing that happens
before the contract
is signed is only on a
one-on-one basis with the bowling alley
– in other words, until this is offi cially a
public art project, the city’s liability cov-
erage is not in effect and there is no lati-
tude about what may constitute a sign
and so no description, caption or image
can be placed on the wall,” Brown said.
“I think people are
excited about it,
there’s just a
question about the
process of doing it.”

Big Toy touch-ups underway old
mural
By CRAIG MURPHY
Of the Keizertimes
The Big Toy is open at
Keizer Rapids Park, but the
work is never done.
As mentioned last week
in the Keizertimes, a kiosk is
being constructed this week-
end. That kiosk, to go by the
main entrance, will include
the names of sponsors and a
history of the project.
Robert Johnson, parks su-
pervisor for Keizer, said this
week a water fountain will be
installed soon.
The Community Build
Task Force chaired by Mar-
lene Parsons has been dis-
banded, though some mem-
bers of the CBTF will still be
meeting as a smaller group
for the next year or so.
An open house is sched-
uled to take place at the Big
Toy from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sat-
urday, Aug. 29.
Parsons, who thanked
CBTF members and project
volunteers during the fi nal
task force meeting on July 7,
led conversations on several
fi nal topics that night, includ-
ing what to do with the web-
site (keizerbigtoy.org).
“What needs to stay on
there?” Parsons asked. “I
think the volunteer informa-

be held in council chambers

tion can come down.”
Valeria Moore, who has
volunteered her time build-
ing and maintaining the web-
site, suggested she could have
a page with a list of names
of everyone who bought a
fence picket.
“It takes just seconds to
update something like that,”
Moore said.
Parsons suggested keep-
ing a list of items to be pur-
chased.
“We’re still selling com-
ponents, so we need to keep
that up,” Parsons said.
Pictures and video from
last month’s build dates are
also being added to the web-
site.
Ron Freeman, who along
with wife Kim coordinated
volunteer efforts, suggested
keeping that going for future
Big Toy needs.
“I have seen others builds
with needs for maintenance,
whether it be painting or
cleaning,” Freeman said.
“They have a call out for vol-
unteers. We can send out e-
mails to everyone.”
Brandon Smith noted
the project’s Facebook page
could still be used, while
Parsons added the city’s new
website could also be utilized.
Moore said getting the
word out about cleaning days
in the future shouldn’t be dif-
fi cult.
“I can send out an e-mail
for a one-day cleaning,” she
said. “That’s easy. It will be a
simple fi x. Just let me know
about having something up
there for volunteer cleaning.”
