HOWALD Of the Keizertimes The Keizer City Council had a packed agenda for its meeting Monday, June 5, but most of it was taken care of with little fanfare. The only item that drew some dis- sent was the city’s budget. While coun- cilors approved the budget in a 6-1 vote, Councilor Amy Ryan took issue with a single item. “I am struggling with the amount of direct and indirect support for the Keizer Chamber of Commerce,” Ryan said. Ryan said the amounts were not a problem, but the source of the funding – the city’s general fund that also pays for police services. Ryan said she would rather the funds be taken from the Tran- sient Occupancy Tax collected through Keizer’s hotel. For that reason, she voted against the proposed budget. Councilors unanimously approved a 55-cent increase in stormwater fees per equivalent stormwater unit. For the aver- age residential customer it will mean an increase of $1.10 per bill beginning in January 2018. The increase is expected to bring in about $75,000 more than the current year. The funds are used for improve- ments and upgrades to keep the storm- Today in History With a spectacular victory at the Belmont Stakes, Secretariat becomes the fi rst horse since Citation in 1948 to win America’s coveted Triple Crown–the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont Stakes. — June 9, 1973 Food 4 Thought “I am all for everyone having a voice; I just don’t think everyone has earned the microphone.

Teen charged with stalking after breaking windows A 17-year-old was charged with stalking a business after shattering windows at Keizer Sub Shop twice in May. About 3 p.m. on Wednes- day, May 31, Keizer police offi cers responded to the business at 4490 River Road North on the report of a gun being fi red at the windows. The suspect then fl ed the scene. Offi cers arrived and deter- mined that it was unlikely a gun was used, but another of- fi cer found the suspect nearby on Cherry Avenue Northeast. He was detained and taken to the scene where he was iden- tifi ed as the culprit. He had also previously victimized the business with another broken window on May 7. The boy was arrested for menacing, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief and taken to the Marion County Juvenile Department. The following day, June 1, the same teen was found walking toward Keizer Sub Shop by a Keizer offi cer. Fear- ing he might be returning to do additional damage, and knowing the teen was on run- away status, he was taken into custody and issued an Oregon Uniform Stalking Complaint for stalking the business. Keizer Police Deputy Chief Jeff Kuhns said the teen is a ward of the state that of- fi cials have had trouble plac- ing in a home. The State of Oregon had placed him in a hotel room with Department of Human Services workers outside the room 24/7. How- ever, the workers could not prevent the teen from leaving, only report him as a runaway Keizer’s Awesome Burger Bash Car Show at Avamere Court, 5210 River Road N. from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. 503-393-3624.

Retherford said the funds do not yet directly affect a Keizer organization, but a number of the grants awarded go to organizations that serve Keizer as well. She hoped that a planned outreach project this fall would yield eligible Keizer-based organizations. Councilors approved by consent con- tracts for two major projects at Keizer Rapids Park (KRP). Ross Recreation will install a pour- in-place surface at The Big Toy around September 15. The cost is $244,434.50 and will take about four weeks to com- plete. The play structure will be closed during construction. Volunteers from the Keizer Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are setting aside time to remove the wood chips from the current site. Knife River will be contracted to in- stall approximately 2,000 feet of paved pathways in Keizer Rapids. The cost is $69,974.60. Both KRP projects will be paid for with a grant. police scanner Friday, June 16 Friday, June 16 – Sunday, June 18 water system functioning and in compli- ance with federal standards. “Our public works department has really turned (the increases) into some- thing positive. We don’t have the fl ood- ing that we used,” said Mayor Cathy Clark. She cited Public Works Director Bill Lawyer and Environmental and Techni- cal Division Manager Elizabeth Sagmill- er by name. The council also certifi ed lighting district assessments throughout the city that pay for improvements and mainte- nance on streetlights. Overall assessments were down slightly from about $418,000 to $407,000. City Finance Director Tim Wood said it was the result of increased effi ciency. “We’ve gotten better at administering the program,” Wood said. Salem Urban Development Direc- tor Kristin Retherford reported to the council on the need to update a consor- tium agreement between the two cities that allows federal money to fl ow more easily into the Salem-Keizer area. Hav- ing the three-year agreement in place al- lows the two-city area to draw the funds directly rather than having it funneled through the state.
