We’re going to get to the root of what that issue is regardless of what Test B says.

We’ll just have to look at priorities and shift things around. But this is a priority project for us.” We are Everything Except Overpriced “Those are conversations that have obviously been tough to have, but the principle is important and they’ve shown that by attempting to get real feedback rather than projecting their own views on the city,” Reid said. The look and feel of new development, in public spaces and commercial ones, is one of her personal priorities. She would aim to strike a balance of Keizer’s small-town feel with an eye toward what future BARKER, continued from Page A1 The Keizer City Council is currently exploring op- tions related to adding fees to utility bills and creating dedi- cated funds for those services, but Barker would like to see a more interactive process. “I would like to have a sys- tem where we can reach out to registered voters online ask- ing for feedback on the major issues of the day like funding for parks or public safety, then the city council can direct policy in accordance with the voting,” Barker said. needs are likely to be. When one local resident ex- pressed concerns about defor- estation during her canvassing, Reid said it made her think hard about how a global issue might relate to the job of a Keizer city councilor. “I think it spoke to the larg- er issue of managed growth, we want to grow in a thoughtful and considerate way. We’re at a unique juncture where we’re fi nally coming out of the reces- sion and able to move forward,” Reid said. “I’m excited about listening to the opinions of dif- ferent people and learning how to make that growth happen.” He sees engaging in con- versations with all stakehold- ers as the primary vehicle for the smart development he’s talking about. He cited the lack of grocery options in Keizer as one example. “We need to be talking with people in the planning departments of the food dis- tributors to fi nd out if Keizer is a viable market and, if there is something missing, how we can get involved to change it,” Barker said. “If we fi nd out that we’re lacking some- thing that we need to be in a marketable position, then we need to attack those needs hard.” Simple Cremation $795 Inexpensive Burial and Funeral Options Pre-Planning Available On-Site Crematory Award-Winning 4365 RIVER RD N, KEIZER 503.393.7037 Se habla español crossword Authentic American BBQ Now 2 Locations 1210 State Street 503-362-2194 2505 Liberty St NE 503-689-1082 HUNT, continued from Page A1 be wearing the same clothing Schwindt was wearing earlier in the day when he fl ed ar- rest. A second perimeter was set by Keizer offi cers and the K-9 team from the Salem Po- lice Department responded a second time to search for the suspect, but once again offi cers were unsuccessful in locating the suspect. Investigating offi cers de- termined Schwindt had a relative living in the 6800 block of River Road North and one offi cer remained in the vicinity of that address on surveillance. At about 2:40 p.m., offi - cers saw a relative of the sus- pect return to her residence and made contact with her. A search of the residence re- vealed several items within the residence had been dis- turbed and there were indica- tions someone had accessed the attic crawl space from inside the residence. Addi- tional offi cers and tools were brought in to search the attic. A short time before 3 p.m., offi cers confi rmed Schwindt was hiding in the attic area of his relatives’ resi- dence. Because his relative resides in a multi-dwelling housing complex, he had ac- cess to other residences. Af- ter establishing contact with the subject, he was taken into custody without any further incident. Schwindt was transported to the Marion County Cor- rectional Facility where he was lodged for the warrant alleging 18 counts of iden- tity theft. The bail for that warrant is $200,000. In addi- tion to the warrant, Michael Schwindt was arrested for one count of burglary, one count of escape and for one count of trespass. His bail for the latter charges was set at $50,000. Anyone having additional information about this inci- dent is asked to contact Offi - cer Jeremy Worledge at 503- 390-3713, ext. 3493.
