chief of staff for the school dis-

is regardless of what Test B says.

said. “It will just be a matter of

was no budget for this. We’ll

“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 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.”

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-
