Of the Keizertimes
All that was needed was an
auctioneer.
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

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.

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

sold. 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
