Today in History
James Riddle Hoffa, one of the most infl uential
American labor leaders of the 20th century, disappears
in Detroit, Michigan, never to be heard from again.
Though he is popularly believed to have been the victim
of a Mafi a hit, conclusive evidence was never found, and
Hoffa’s death remains shrouded in mystery to this day.
— July 31, 1975
Food 4 Thought
“Should any political party attempt to abolish social
security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor
laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that
party again in our political history.”

In partnership with the National
Association of Town Watch, the Keizer
Police Department will be co-sponsor-
ing the 31st annual National Night Out
event citywide on Tuesday, Aug. 4 from
6 to 9 p.m.
More than 34
million
peo-
ple in more
than 15,000
communities
throughout
the
coun-
try
will
join
forces
to
promote
police-commu-
nity partnerships,
crime, drug and vio-
lence prevention, safety and neigh-
borhood unity.
National Night Out is designed to
heighten crime awareness; generate
support and participation in local anti-
crime efforts; strengthen neighborhood
spirit and police-community relations
and send a message to criminals, letting
them know neighborhoods are orga-
nized and fi ghting back.
Residents in neighborhoods in Keiz-
er and across the nation are asked to
lock their doors, turn on lights
and spend the eve-
ning
outside
with neighbors
and
police.
Many neigh-
borhoods will
be
hosting
a variety of
special events
such as block
parties, cookouts,
potlucks,
dessert
socials and youth ac-
tivities. Neighborhood Watch block
captains are highly encouraged to orga-
nize an event as an opportunity to con-
tact their participants, meet new neigh-
bors and update their rosters. All other
neighborhoods are also encouraged to
participate.
Participants are asked to designate a
particular problem area in their neigh-
borhood. Called “Project 365,” it could
be anything from a problem park, a sus-
pected drug house or car break-ins. The
goal will be to work towards correcting
the problem in 365 days, or by National
Night Out 2016.
Participants can discuss their project
with neighbors and visiting police of-
fi cers and solicit their help and input.
They may also announce their plans and
success with the National Association
of Town Watch. For more information,
visit www.nno.org.
The registration packet for National
Night Out 2015 is available at www.
keizerpd.com. Registration packets are
also available at the Keizer Police De-
partment at 930 Chemawa Rd. NE.
Registration forms must be received by
5 p.m. on Friday, July 31.
For more information, contact Lt.
Andrew Copeland at 503-856-3463 or
e-mail copelanda@keizer.org.
Council previews infi ll impact
By CRAIG MURPHY
Of the Keizertimes
Coming soon to the Keiz-
er City Council: discussion
on land infi ll.
If that doesn’t sound like
the most exciting topic, spare
some sympathy for members
of the Keizer Planning Com-
mission.
“The last three meetings
of the Planning Commis-
sion were spent on land in-
fi ll,” commissioner Jonathon
Thompson told councilors
on July 20. “We talked a lot
about design standards. We
talked about garage and car-
port openings and how much
can be in front to accommo-
date narrow lots. We talked
about lot size.”
Thompson said there was
also good discussion about
necessary reporting.
“We spent a lot of time on
reporting requirements, i.e.
how much information needs
to be submitted to the city,”
he said. “We tried to balance
the needs of neighbors and
developers. The standards we
came to are ones you could
probably draft up at your
kitchen table. We also want to
make sure infi ll is compatible
with neighbors.”
Thompson noted the city’s
Housing Needs Analysis
completed a couple of years
ago showed the city doesn’t
have enough housing to meet
future growth.
public
hearings
The Keizer City Council
will consider a supplemental
budget for the 2015-16 fi scal
year at its regular meeting on
Monday, Aug. 3 at 7 p.m. The
meeting takes place in coun-
cil chambers at Keizer Civic
Center, 930 Chemawa Road
NE.
“We don’t want to create
a hardship on those trying
to help with that,” he said.
“We’re trying to fi nd the
balance. I hope you have as
much fun going through it as
we did.”
Mayor Cathy Clark ex-
pressed her appreciation for
the “highly detailed work”
done by the commission.
“We have infi ll happen-
ing right now,” Clark said.
“Projects submitted now are
under the current code. How
will this impact infi ll applica-
tions in the future in regards
to density and infi ll?”
Nate Brown, director of
Community Development
for Keizer, noted new code
would not apply retroactively.
“The design standards are
being increased signifi cantly,”
he said. “It’s consistent with
the kind of construction we
see going on. The details are
lengthy. There are some con-
cerns and anxieties out there
and we will hear those in the
hearing.”
In other business July 20:
• An update was given
on the roundabout project
scheduled to be constructed
next fall at Chemawa Road
and Verda Lane. Councilor
Kim Freeman mentioned the
intersection near the end of
the meeting.
“I want to give a shout out
to Bill Lawyer for fi xing the
hole at the four-way stop at
Chemawa and Verda, but it
is still a nightmare,” Freeman
said. “The intersection is not
very nice.”
Lawyer, the Public Works
director for Keizer, said
there’s a reason why the city’s
part of the project – moving
water lines prior to other en-
tities doing their work – was
slowed.
“We ran into a huge con-
crete blob as we tried to put
the water main next to it,”
Lawyer said. “We didn’t an-
ticipate it. Then we ran into
another 24-inch concrete
blob. We had to pull back and
reevaluate. We cold patched
it until we can fi gure out the
next step.”
Speaking of the round-
about project, Lawyer said he
received notifi cation the Or-
egon Department of Trans-
portation now has possession
of four of the fi ve parcels of
land needed for right-of-way
acquisition, with the last one
done pending a mandatory
30-day waiting period.
• Police chief John Teague
noted the annual National
National Out is on Tuesday,
Aug. 4. Information about
locations is available on the
Keizer Police Department’s
home page (http://www.
keizer.org/Police/).
“Smaller cities do it at one
park, but we decided the spir-
it of the evening is neighbors
meeting neighbors,” Teague
said. “We had about three
dozen locations last year and
expect the same this year.”
Mayor Clark mentioned
one NNO event on New-
berg Drive will have music.
• Teague also said a person
caught after doing a number
of car clouts last holiday sea-
son, mainly at Keizer Station,
had been sentenced that day
to 10 years behind bars.
“She’s a bad character,”
Teague said. “Breaking into
cars carries signifi cant conse-
quences.”
• A proposal to amend
the makeup of the Com-
munity Build Task Force was
approved. Most of the task
force’s work was done once
the Big Toy was constructed
in June, but there is more yet
to do.
“Our job is not done,” said
councilor Marlene Parsons,
who has chaired the CBTF
since it was started in 2013.
“It’s not just fundraising, but
also to work on future main-
tenance. We also want to still
raise money for a pour-in-
place surface to put in next
spring.”
Members of the smaller
task force will be Parsons,
Richard Walsh, Janet Carlson,
Brandon Smith, David Loud-
en, Lore Christopher and
Ron Freeman. A dedication
of the Big Toy is scheduled
for Saturday, Aug. 29 from 2
to 5 p.m.
• The council’s work ses-
sion on Monday, Aug. 3 will
still be at 5:45 p.m. but the
location has changed. Coun-
cilors will be taking a tour
of the new Career Technical
Education Center at 3501
Portland Road NE in Salem.
The CTEC is expected to
open to students this fall.
