The Keizer Chamber of Commerce honored veterans at its monthly luncheon Tuesday, Nov. 8.
A few of the veterans in attendance were Maj. Allan Pollock, U.S. Army, Cmdr. Doug Kroll (Ret.),
Navy, Marines and Coast Guard, Lt. Col. Richard Ford, U.S. Army, Airman 1st Class Jerry Howard,
U.S. Air Force, Sgt. Zach Steele, Air National Guard and Army Reserves, and Sgt. Brad Beverly,
Air National Guard.

Two access points are
planned, one for gardeners and
another for trucks delivering
soil and supplies. Gardeners will
be given a code to a combina-
tion lock for access.
“I think this is a really
worthwhile project that pro-
vides something worthwhile
to the city,” said Matt Lawyer, a
member of the parks board be-
fore the vote.
The project will start no
later than May 1, 2017, and be
completed by June 30.
A $10,000 match grant for
Keizer Little League was also
approved unanimously. The
funds will be used to continue
rehabilitation of fi elds at Keizer
Little League Park, off Ridge
Drive Northeast.
Project coordinators Brad
Arnsmeier, Tony Cuff and Paul
McGrath have spoken before
the board the past three months
trying to iron out the details of
the grant request.
And there was still some
uncertainty as the board drew
closer to a vote Tuesday night.
KLL offi cials submitted a
two-page list of work to be
done – valued at nearly $42,000,
but little in the way of specifi c
dollar values for specifi c parts of
the project.
While the board has ex-
pressed support for the KLL
rehab project throughout the
process, the parks board is the
only city committee that can
approve money expenditures
independent of the Keizer City
Council and board members
are cautious about the terms of
the grant matches it approves.
To release matching funds,
project coordinators must turn
in receipts for the amount of
the grant, and board members
were concerned about the lack
of itemized expenses in the
KLL proposal.
“It’s a little vague. I would
still like a few more dollar
amounts, and its possibly chal-
lenging when you submit re-
ceipts, but I understand you
will have more than $10,000 in
expenses,” said Robert Johnson,
Keizer parks supervisor.
Others voiced similar con-
cerns, but board member Dylan
Juran seemed to put the matter
to rest.
“If they can’t turn in receipts
totaling $10,000, then that’s
their (KLL’s) problem,” Juran
said.
The goal is to have all the
sports fi elds and facilities at
KLL Park rehabilitated or
renovated by the 2021 season,
which will mark the 50th an-
niversary of KLL.
The match grant will be
used for a wide range of proj-
ects within the park includ-
ing: replanting several fi elds,
irrigation, replacement dirt
and warning track cinder rock,
rubber mats for dugouts and
an outfi eld fence for one fi eld.
KLL offi cials are also relying on
a $50,000 grant from Keizer
Rotary that will be doled out
over the course of the next four
years.
Arnsmeier said he expected
to rely on the matching grant
program less as the project pro-
gresses.
At the beginning of the
night, there was $20,000 in the
matching grant fund – $15,000
in new money from the be-
ginning of the fi scal year and
$5,000 that was carried over
after a 2015-16 project fell
through. The two approved
grants drop the available total
to $8,300.
