PAGE7A6,7KEIZERTIMES,7AUGUST718,72017 Parks board begins to chart fee project plans By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes The Keizer Parks and Recreation Advisory Board’s attempt to cancel its September meet- ing turned into a sprawling discussion about how to proceed with parks planning now that a dedicated parks fee is set to begin in No- vember. In the past, the board has canceled the Sep- tember meeting because a parks tour – with members of the city council – takes the place of the meeting. However, given that the city needs to come up with plans for utilizing the parks fee, some members of the board objected to taking the month off. Keizer Public Works Director Bill Lawyer told board members that city staff has some priorities in mind, but they wanted to see a engaged, the better.

In the end, the board agreed to have at least a short September meeting. In the meantime, board members David Louden, Cat Gaynor, Jim Taylor and Matt Lawyer planned to meet and come up with a schedule for engaging residents and enlisting other stakeholders. The subgroup will present the plan during the September meeting for approval by the parks board.
