Motions were made at a fast and furious rate during the March 22 Keizer Public Arts Commission (KPAC) meeting in regard to faces on the upcoming public mural, scheduled to be installed this summer on the north wall at Town & Country Lanes at 3500 River Road N. The most important mo- tion was one that calls for 10 full-size facial portraits spaces to be sold for $200 each, as a fundraiser for the mural. They will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. The spaces will be sold starting April 1 and those interested need to contact mural project leader Jill Hagen at jillywillyh@aol. com. KPAC members will have the final say in case someone wants to purchase an inappro- priate image; Adolf Hitler was given as an example. Previously, it was discussed having 21 faces on the mu- ral, with one being longtime Town & Country owner Don Lebold, the six Keizer mayors to date, six faces sold at $200 each, four sold in a raffle at $5 each and four sold for free to children. KPAC chair Beth Melendy said at the March 22 meeting there could be more than six Friday, April 8 Oregon Symphony at Willamette University-Smith Auditorium 8 p.m. A Midsummer Night’s Dream Overture.

KEIZERTIMES file/Craig Murphy Plans continue to evolve for Keizer’s next public mural, shown here during a mural meeting in March. motion to accept the proposal to have six portraits for sale at $200 from April 1 to 15, with two more moved up from the raffle and two more from the free drawing if there’s enough demand. The motion died for the lack of a second. Kim Steen then made a motion to eliminate all four raffle tickets and turn them all into $200 portraits. “By doing that, we would eliminate all adults putting their face up on the mural, unless they put up $200,” Me- lendy said. Christopher quickly called for the motion, which ended discussion. The motion was approved on a 6-1 vote, with only Hagen opposed. That created the 10 spots at $200 each. Jessi Long then made a motion to turn two of the 10 spots into free drawings, RIVERfair draws to a close RIVERfair, the one-day community festival held each August, has come to an end. The board of directors of Making Keizer Better Foun- dation, the organizers of RIV- ERfair, voted recently to end the festival after eight years. Board members said the festi- val had not grown as expected, though it had been successful. The event raises money to fund three trade/vocational scholarships for Keizer stu- dents. The first festival was in 2008 at Keizer Rapids Park. The event featured vendor booths, food and live enter- tainment. Later years saw a pet parade added as well as the RIVERfair pie eating cham- pionships that began a con- test between members of the Keizer Police Department and the Keizer Fire District. Keizer City Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, April 4 at 7 p.m. to consider proposed revisions to various sections of the Keizer Development Code, includ- ing lot line adjustments. The hearing takes place in council KEIZERTIMES file/Craig Murphy The ending of RIVERfair also means the apparent end of the good-natured pie-eating battle between the Keizer Police Department and the Keizer Fire District. While RIVERfair has end- ed, the foundation says they will still award three scholar- ships this year. The deadline is April 1. One of the scholar- ships (Jerry Bigler Memorial) is aimed at those students who plan to continue their educa- tion in the automotive indus- try. Other scholarships are the chambers at Keizer Civic Cen- ter, 930 Chemawa Road NE. Keizer Planning Com- mission will hold public hear- ings on Wednesday, April 13 at 6 p.m. to consider proposed revisions to procedures of the Jan Cline Memorial Scholar- ship and the Making Keizer Better Scholarship. Awards for each will be at least $1,000. Applications are available at McNary High School and on- line at riverfairkeizer.com. The foundation’s board also voted to dissolve itself once the scholarships are awarded. 5 YEARS AGO Several Keizer Station landowners are a combined $416,000 behind in debt payments to the City of Keizer. 10 YEARS AGO Keizer Little League cele- brates a double birthday—30 years for the league, 20 for the ballfields. 20 YEARS AGO Citizens urge city action to curb future flooding in Labish Ditch, Keizer Branches and brush clog Labish Ditch as it passes through Keizer.

THIS WEEK’S MOVIE TIMES sudoku looking back in the KT Developer owes taxpayers $400k+ knocking the number of pur- chased spots back down to eight. The motion died for the lack of a second. Christopher then made a similar motion: if not all 10 spots are sold by April 25, two will become free draw- ings. On the other hand, if all 10 are sold by that date, there will be no free drawings for adults. A friendly amendment was made to have a minimum of one free adult drawing, re- gardless of number sold. That motion was approved unani- mously. Melendy made a motion calling for the six mayor faces be eliminated and turned into six spots sold for $200 each if the other spaces sell out. That motion died for the lack of a second. The next mural meeting takes place Saturday, April 9 from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Keizer Arts Association class- room at the Keizer Heritage Center, 980 Chemawa Road NE.

The faces will be painted on the main parade images, as the overall theme of the mural is scenes from the Keizer Iris Festival Parade. “We decided that because we anticipate interest being high, we will do a two-week period to sell (faces),” Me- lendy said. “Our decision is if we get the six sold and have interest still, if we want we could pull a couple from the free drawing and take a couple from the mayors. We want to give more people the oppor- tunity to have a portrait up there.” Melendy suggested that anyone contacting Hagen about reserving a space would have three days from confir- mation of the e-mail to pay. If the payment isn’t made within that time, the spot would open back up. E-mails requesting the purchase of a space will be responded to within four days and those purchasing a space will be asked to provide a front and side photographic image of the face. Hagen noted she’s already heard from four people who have expressed interest in pur- chasing a space. KPAC mem- ber Lore Christopher noted she already had a check from a person to purchase a space. Christopher, a former may- or, made a face when the idea of taking away mayor faces was mentioned.
