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-

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

provide funding for projects like hous-

ing construction and conversion; tenant
assistance programs; micro-enterprise
training; homeless assistance, domestic
violence services and fair housing activi-
ties.
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.

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.
Two different grant programs, total-
ing about $2.4 million, are at stake and
