MARCH 4, 2016, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A9 Multiple reports Day care standards amended at council meeting By CRAIG MURPHY Of the Keizertimes The last Keizer City Council meeting was report time. No fewer than three groups – West Keizer Neighborhood Association, Greater Gubser Neighborhood Association and Keizer Community Emer- gency Response Team (CERT) – all gave reports at the Feb. 16 council meeting. New WKNA president Gary Blake and vice president Rhon- da Rich shared duties with their report. Rich had been president for 10 years, but declined an opportunity to continue in that role in January. The neighbor- hood association serves 3,200 households in West Keizer. “The service you provide is immense,” councilor Roland Herrera said. “If anyone wants to start one, you are defi nitely the model.” Mayor Cathy Clark noted she had talked with a person interested in restarting a neigh- borhood association in south- east Keizer. Mark Caillier, president of the GGNA, handled his report by himself. Most of his report focused on the GGNA’s annual Miracle of Christmas holiday fundraiser. “One record was set: they handed out 37,000 candy canes,” Caillier said. “We don’t know exactly how many people go through each year, but that’s a good way to measure. It took people up to three hours to get through on busy nights like Christmas Eve and the week- ends. We had lines almost out to Keizer Station.” Among other things, the reigning Keizer First Citizen is in charge of the annual cleanup at Keizer Community Center. This year’s fi fth annual cleanup takes place Saturday, March 12 from 9 a.m. to noon. “We need about 100 volun- teers,” Caillier said. “There is a lot of trimming to do this year.” Jerry Wade and Paul Pfi nister gave the CERT report. “We’re having greater coop- eration with Marion County Emergency Management and eight other CERT groups in the county, training with those folks,” Wade said. Pfi nister said giving up time is fi ne for CERT members. “We’re happy to give it back to Keizer because this is our home,” he said. Spring CERT classes start March 10 and run three hours a night for seven straight Thurs- day nights at the Keizer Fire District training room. In other business Feb. 16: • On the surface, it appeared the city was getting a new city engineer. After all, AKS Engi- neering and Forestry was se- lected. Previously, Bill Peterson with Peterson Engineering had held the role since 1985. As it turns out, there was no change. AKS Engineering bought Peterson Engineering in late 2014. “Bill Peterson is staying on as the city engineer,” Public Works director Bill Lawyer said. “Bill is now an employee of AKS Engineering and Forestry but is designated by them as the primary staff person for all city engineering needs.” • A list of annual liquor li- cense renewals was approved unanimously by councilors without comment. The list was forwarded to the Oregon Li- quor Control Commission. By CRAIG MURPHY Of the Keizertimes It was a big chunk of the council packet. But it amounted to a minor text amendment that was ap- proved with hardly any discus- sion at the Feb. 16 Keizer City Council meeting. Councilors unanimously ap- proved text amendments related to revised day care standards 5-0, with Kim Freeman and Dennis Koho absent. “Though it looks like a lot, this is really a minor adjustment in our development code,” said Nate Brown, director of Community Development for Keizer. “State requirements have changed what they’ll allow for home-based day care. This happened at the state law level some time ago. We are bringing it up because we’re aware there were several day care providers with up to 16 children, though city code limits it to 12.” According to the staff re- port, there were 11 sections of the city code impacted. The changes increase the maximum number of children at a day care facility from 12 to 16. “This is the result of changes in state requirements govern- ing day care facilities which allowed for an increase in the number of children in day care facilities,” the staff report read in part. “The intent is to make the city’s standards consistent with state regulations. Each of the four sections also increase the threshold for a conditional use permit. No additional revi- sions of standards are proposed as there are adequate existing state requirements that regulate this type of use.” Brown said impacts would be limited. “There are no issues with misuse or indications going from 12 to 16 would create any undue impacts,” Brown said. “This was taken to the Plan- ning Commission to change the terminology and to change the number from 12 to 16 to make it consistent with state law. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to support the proposed text amendments.” The only discussion was a question from councilor Amy Ryan about a couple of refer- ences to 17 or more being al- lowed. Brown said a commer- cial day care could have more than 16 children with a condi- tional use permit. police scanner WEDNESDAY, FEB. 17 • 12:04 a.m. - Sudden death on 5300 block River Road N. • 8:24 a.m. - Arrest for stolen ve- hicle and hindering prosecution on 400 block Pine Street NE. • 2:59 p.m. - Criminal mischief and vandalism on 400 block Che- mawa Road N. • 3:12 p.m. - Shoplifting on 6300 block Ulali Drive NE. • 5:31 p.m. - Failure to perform duties of driver when property is damaged on 5000 block Elizabeth Street N. • 5:49 p.m. - Traffi c accident on 700 block Lockhaven Drive NE. • 6 p.m. - Graffi ti on 100 block Chemawa Road N. • 7:04 p.m. - Criminal trespass on 5200 block Patrick Lane NE. • 7:56 p.m. - Traffi c accident on Chemawa Road NE and Stadium Drive NE. • 8:03 p.m. - Telephone harass- ment on 1300 block Bent Grass Court NE.
