PAGE A8, KEIZERTIMES, JULY 28, 2017 HOURS, continued from Page A1 FEES: Collection begins with November bills (Continued from Page A1) on a monthly and ongoing ba- sis, we should have the funds necessary to hire police right away since monthly revenues should match monthly expen- ditures,” Eppley said. Training might also take an additional several months if the new hires haven’t been through police training. “Depending on whether those new employees are lat- eral transfers who have already been certifi ed through the (Department of Public Safety Standards and Training) or are new recruits who need to go through the police academy will determine how quickly they will be put into our fi eld training program and, eventu- ally, soloing in their new posi- tions to augment our capac- ity,” said Eppley. The Keizer Police Depart- ment plans to hire fi re new offi cers with the fee: two offi - cers will be added to the night patrol shifts, and one offi cer each would be added to the Community Response Unit, the detective unit and the traf- fi c unit. Chief John Teague said his fi rst priority, at the moment, would be to hire a motor- certifi ed offi cer to add to the traffi c team. Teague suggested during the council meeting when the fees were approved that the department would be looking to its reserve offi cers as prime candidates. “They are very, very good cops and I look forward to giving them the opportunity to work for us without having to do a year’s worth of train- ing,” Teague said. After the meeting, Teague said it would be an open re- cruitment with a priority giv- en to Spanish-speakers. “For all (the reserves’) ad- vantages, which are many, we desperately need Spanish- speaking offi cers — having lost three in the past four years and another with a looming retirement — so we will give preference to Spanish speak- ers,” Teague said. On the parks side of things, Eppley and Mayor Cathy Clark said to expect slower progress, and both want to engage the community before committing to project priori- ties. Given that the fee will go into effect during the parks’ slow season, “we should have plenty of time to converse at the Parks Board level with the community, develop a plan of action, and then be ready to implement in the spring, which will work well for tim- ing purposes,” Eppley said. Regardless of a specifi c project list, Clark said the immediate needs in terms of maintenance and replacement would be addressed fi rst. “The maintenance that is needed ongoing after that will be much clearer once the system is more caught up with basic needs,” Clark said. “Once the park system has a clear maintenance schedule and cost basis, we can work with the parks board and en- tire community on prioritiz- ing what comes next in car- rying out the adopted (and likely updated by then) Parks Master Plan.” Earlier this year, Keizertimes asked Parks Supervisor Rob- ert Johnson what he sees as the top fi ve safety priorities in Keizer’s 19 parks. Carlson Skate Park repairs and reno- vations topped the list; a re- placement for the play struc- ture at Meadows Park was No. 2; replacing sports courts at Claggett Creek Park and Northview Park came in third; replacing or resurfacing path- ways was fourth; and replac- ing/infi ll wood chips at older playgrounds – like Meadows, Northview, Claggett, Coun- try Glen and Bob Newton – rounded out the list. While those projects come with larger price tags. Mainte- nance issues like pruning and removing unsafe trees in parks all around the city also loom large. Maintenance took prior- ity over new amenities in re- sponses to a parks survey ear- lier this year. customers needs and when they want to shop,” said Gor. “Owning a business is hard and competitive as it is and we are trying to stay ahead of the curve.” He added that expanded hours would be more in-line with what Salem dispensaries offer. Salem does not have a curfew for marijuana business. If the city changes the per- mitted hours, it would affect all Keizer-based marijuana shops. Gor fi elded a few questions from councilors, including one from Councilor Roland Herrera about the breakdown of medicinal vs. recreational sales. Recreational sales ac- count for about 90 percent of the business, Gor replied. “Renewing medical card is about $400, and many of our medicinal customers don’t spend $400 in taxes (on their purchases) so they pay recre- ational prices,” Gor added. Councilor Amy Ryan asked Brown whether making a change would be hard to do, and if the current businesses have had any negative impacts. “Marijuana is one of the permit patrol APPLIED ISSUED • Jet Industries Inc., PO Box 7362, Winco Foods LLC, def sub for fi re sprinkler, July 20, 2017, $47,500. • Baysinger Partners Architecture, 1006 SE Grand Avenue, Bloch Schoolhouse LLC, TI constructing sit-down restaurant, bar area, se- cluded lottery area and sectioned seating on either side of main entrance, July 20, 2017, $0. • Baysinger Partners Architecture, 1006 SE Grand Avenue, Bloch Schoolhouse LLC, fi re sprinkler for tenant improvement, July 14, 2017, $2,800. • Thomas Fallon, 80 SE Madison Street, Donahue Schriber Realty Group, 6295 Keizer Station Boulevard NE a new shell building, 1-story, 4,680 SF, July 19, 2017, $425,000. • Thomas Fallon, 80 SE Madison Street, Do- nahue Schriber Realty Group, new 4,143 SF shell building demised for two tenants – 1 ten- ant fast food restaurant with drive thru – other tenant unknown, at Keizer Station on Pad D, adjacent to Kaiser Permanente, July 19, 2017, $415,000.
