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

“He just give out of his
heart,” Clark added.
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.

Schrader was impressed
with what he saw in Wood-
burn.
“The Woodburn inter-
change is vastly improved,” he
said. “Truck after truck was

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.

one person with two sets of
clientele?” Clark asked.
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.”

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.
The Keizer City Council
