PAGE A6, KEIZERTIMES, SEPTEMBER 22, 2017 Parks board lays out early One charged in dual stabbing goals for new parks fee Adding staff, equipment top shortlist By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes The Keizer Parks and Recreation Advisory Boards has come up with some top priorities for the utilizing a new parks fee, but residents had the opportunity to voice support for pet projects at the board’s monthly meeting Sept. 12. Working with city staff, the parks board’s shortlist includes: adding personnel, updating and repairing park equipment; tree services in all 19 of Keizer’s parks; and increasing services like re- stroom maintenance, daily clean-up and removal of gar- bage, removal of poison oak and servicing playground equipment in need of repairs. The city will begin col- lecting a $4-per-month fee on utility bills in November to create a dedicated parks fund. The parks board is now fi ne-tuning how the fee will be put to use. At the top of the list for members of the West Keizer Neighborhood Association (WKNA) is clearing out un- derbrush that has become space for stealth camping. “We would like to see some money put toward that. It might take years, but there is a lot of people who won’t go down (to the river parks) because of the transient pop- ulation,” said Rhonda Rich, a WKNA board member. Others wanted to see more fountains in the dog park at Keizer Rapids Park and the possibility of a second shelter. David Philbrick said Northridge Park should be a priority. “Northridge has no ac- cess and no use and it’s in an area underserved by parks. Something needs to happen because access has gotten worse,” David said. Cathey Philbrick suggest- ed fi nding ways to promote interaction with the vast array of spaces at Keizer Rapids. “There are opportunities to integrate that park with athletics at McNary and pro- mote citizen interaction,” Cathey, a former McNary teacher, said. She also sug- gested that putting together a schedule for park clean-up might engage more volun- teers. City Councilor Amy Ryan also spoke to the board in her capacity as a resident and asked for more basketball fa- cilities. “I would like to see that on the radar so we can get a full court at some point. I think it would have a ton of use, we just don’t have the facility,” Ryan said. The meeting represented just the fi rst step in the pro- cess with more to come, said Matt Lawyer, a member of the parks board. “Please engage and be- come part of our group. This is how we come up with a plan,” Lawyer said. traffi c court NO INSURANCE USE OF MOBILE DEVICE Katlynne Joann Aman, $542; David Christopher Leard, $500; Jose Ortiz Yrigoya, $312. Carla S.
