City eyes guest councilor program
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
The Keizer City Council wants more
information, but seems to be moving in
the direction of adding a guest councilor
program to the city’s offerings.
The possibility of launching a program
arose as the councilors reviewed proposed
changes to their policies and procedures
at a city council meeting Monday, April 3.
The guest councilor program was sug-
gested by former councilor Mark Cail-
lier, who sees similar programs as a tool
to help those interested in city council
positions see fi rst-hand how it all works.
“Many persons who might be inter-
ested in taking a serious look at serving
on Keizer City Council are intimidated
by unfamiliar processes, concerned about
time commitments, learning curves and
a cadre of other doubts or uncertainties,”
Marion County Fire District
#1 received an improved rating
by the Insurance Services Offi ce,
which could result in lower cost
to homeowners for fi re insur-
ance coverage.
The fi re district’s previous
ratings were a 4 in urban areas
and a 8b in rural areas. As of the
recent review, all areas within the
MCFD1 jurisdiction are now
rated at a 4, effective May 1.
Tuesday, April 18, is the
deadline for fi ling your 2016
federal and state taxes, rather
than the traditional deadline
of April 15.
In 2017, April 15 falls on a
Saturday, and this would usu-
ally move the fi ling deadline
to the following Monday —
April 17. However, Emanci-

The recent assessment takes
into account the number
of stations, apparatus, and
fi refi ghters available to respond
in the event of an emergency.
While the rural areas are not
hydranted, MCFD1 utilizes
specialized
equipment
to
transport water to those areas in
the event of a fi re; a method that
was not previously recognized
by ISO as a variable in their
evaluations.
Chief Terry Riley stated
that he was pleased with
the
evaluation
process,
its thoroughness and the
communication exchange with
the ISO.
“It was important for ISO
to recognize the strength of
services that we are able to
provide in the event of a fi re,”
Riley said. “The use of water
tender trucks to transport
water and the automatic-aid
relationships with neighboring
fi re districts allows us to provide
the best possible coverage for
our residents.”
Many, but not all insurance
companies rely on this
rating to establish rates for
homeowner’s insurance policies.
Homeowners are encouraged
to contact their homeowner
insurance providers to see if the
new rating will lower their fi re
insurance coverage costs.

sions.
“Seeing Mark’s memo, it was some-
thing I knew nothing about. I would like
to know how other cities make it work,”
said Councilor Kim Freeman.
While the program might not make
it easier to fi ll a vacancy when a sitting
councilor departs, it might expand the
pool of interested applicants, said Coun-
cilor Bruce Anderson.
“It’s merely to give city residents a
view from this side of the dais. They can
sit in, but there is no voting,” Anderson
said.
The only action the council took at
the meeting was to request that Keizer’s
Volunteer Coordinating Committee look
at similar programs and put forth a rec-
ommendation to the council.
The Volunteer Coordinating Commit-
tee meets Thursday, April 20.

Caillier wrote in a letter to the council.
“I believe a guest councilor program can
provide a unique opportunity for positive
citizen interaction and increase govern-
ment transparency.”
Caillier investigated similar programs
in other cities, including Salem, and pro-
posed some rules and guidelines in addi-
tion to putting forth the idea.
Guest councilors:
• Would be designated by a sitting
councilor to fi ll in at a regular meeting in
the event of an absence.
• Would need to be Keizer residents
and would only be allowed to fi ll in once
per year. No more than two guest coun-
cilors could fi ll in at a single meeting.
• Would not be allowed to make a mo-
tion or second someone else’s and would
not vote on council business. They would
also not be able to attend executive ses-
