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
