Early sales of recreational marijuana allowed in Keizer, with restrictions By CRAIG MURPHY Of the Keizertimes Two more motions re- garding marijuana have been passed by the Keizer City Council. Councilors approved the “early sales” provision of rec- reational marijuana at their Sept. 8 meeting and also ap- proved of having no tax on those sales. The subject was a follow- up to similar issues raised dur- ing the Aug. 17 council meet- ing. Senate Bill 460 allows early sales of recreational marijuana at licensed medical marijuana facilities from Oct. 1, 2015 to Dec. 31, 2016, when the bill sunsets. Only .25 ounces of marijuana can be sold each day to any individual, who must be at least 21 years old. The marijuana is limited to leaves, fl owers, seeds and a plant that is not fl owering. “This makes the city or- dinance consistent with state laws and it will make the early sales allowed at those facilities to start on Oct. 1,” city attor- ney Shannon Johnson said. Johnson said no tax on ear- ly sales would be prudent. “Trying to tax early sales on the local level would be an uphill battle,” he said. “This provides there would be no tax on those early sales.” Mayor Cathy Clark asked what the ordinances mean for facilities in the future. “Will they eventually be separate facilities, or will it be By CRAIG MURPHY Of the Keizertimes Long-term plans call for improvements to the Inter- state 5/Chemawa Road inter- change in Keizer. A model of how to do it may be barely 10 miles to the north. U.S. Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-Canby) was among the dignitaries on hand for the ribbon cutting of the Wood- burn Interchange and Transit Facility project on Monday morning. That afternoon, Schrader visited with the Keizertimes editorial board to talk about transportation, among other topics. “At the state and the fed- eral level we need to get our Thursday, September 24 Keizer Network of Women (KNOW) present Diva! a night for ladies at Keizer Quality Suites, 5-8:30 p.m. Tickets are $25; on-site raffl e for a Coach handbag.

Walery noted he keeps helping out with the lights. “Rumor is you can’t get off once you’re on,” Walery said with a chuckle. Clark and others were highly appreciative of the new lights. “These are beautiful,” the mayor said. “Thank you, thank you, thank you. That is just fantastic.” • Two open seats on the Keizer Budget Committee were fi lled, as councilors ap- pointed Jonathan Thompson and Nelson Sossamam to the positions. Those two were the only ones who applied. • Councilors approved the temporary usage and signage at Town & Country Lanes for Keizer’s next public mural, which at this point is sched- uled to be done next spring. As part of the approval, the temporary signage “Join Keiz- er’s mural project 2016. www. keizer.org” was approved. • Constitution Week was proclaimed, as Sept. 17 marked the 228th anniversary of the framing of the U.S. Consti- tution. Ruby Pantalone and Patricia Baker from the Anna Marie Pittman Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution were on hand. • Councilors agreed to vacate a portion of Manbrin Drive NE near the intersec- tion of Cherry Avenue NE to MMAK LLC. The 2,021 square feet of space will be used for landscaping and for the installation of a sign. would not exist under the current rules.” Schrader was impressed with what he saw in Wood- burn. “The Woodburn inter- change is vastly improved,” he said. “Truck after truck was going by (on Highway 219). Please see SCHRADER, Page A6 U.S. Rep. Kurt Schrader act together for transporta- tion funding, something states can count on for funding,” Schrader said. “We need to be competitive globally. The sur- face transportation package is one of the big ones.” Schrader said getting votes to support large transportation projects in Washington, D.C. is getting more and more diffi - cult. “We have the mantra these days that all spending is bad,” Schrader said. “It’s capital funding versus operational funding. I agree with the Re- publicans about the opera- tional funding. But one of the arguments that gets brought up is the bridge to nowhere.

Johnson noted there was no answer yet. “My understanding is that hasn’t been decided at the state level” he said. “It’s interesting that large of an issue wasn’t decided by the legislature.” Johnson pointed to the timing issue. “Oct. 1 is right around the corner and the legisla- ture doesn’t meet for several months,” Johnson said. “Most of the other cities are taking a hard line and banning it so the tax issue doesn’t come up.” In other council business Sept. 8: • Dave Walery and some of his elves were on hand to show off new LED Christ- mas lights. Assisting Walery in the presentation were Bob Zielinski, current president of the Keizer Chamber of Com- merce and Ron Freeman, who along with wife and councilor Kim has been part of the group putting lights up each year. For the most part, the new lights are wrapped around ex- isting light structures, meaning lower cost plus less replacing needed in the future due to the LED technology. Due to a funding cut, Mr. Christmas – aka Walery – stepped up to help out. “The city didn’t have enough for the entirety, so Mr. Walery paid for some of it out of his own pocket,” city man- ager Chris Eppley noted.
