house, a developer for some
properties at Keizer Station,
and Jonathan Thompson, a lo-
cal business owner and chair
of the Chamber of Commerce
Government Affairs Commit-
tee spoke out again.
Thompson said at least one
member of the chamber had
spoken with each member of
the city council in the inter-
vening weeks about the public
amenity issue.
“What we are asking is for
folks to take a step back and
gather people around the table.
Many of the issues are things
we are concerned about as well,
and if we get everyone around
the table we can solve a lot of
these issues,” Thompson said.
Thompson added that for
small projects the 1 percent as-
sessment might be only $100,
but that “it's not that it's $100,
it's that it's another $100.” He
was alluding to the various
types of fees charged by gov-
ernment agencies throughout
the state depending on the
type of business, but did not
delineate as to whether those
fees were assessed at the city
level or higher up the chain.
Roodhouse, who is helping
City’s holiday card contest
entries due by Nov. 17
Kaiser Permanente develop
a new dental offi ce in Keizer
Station, argued that Keizer Sta-
tion should be exempted from
the assessment if it went for-
ward.
“We agreed to and helped
design a number of public
amenities. Keizer Station has
paid its dues,” Roodhouse said.
After approving the ordi-
nance without the public ame-
nity assessment in a 6-1 vote,
Councilor Amy Ryan defend-
ed her “no” vote.
“We are not being not busi-
ness friendly, we are being
anti-business. Government is
kicking businesses' butts on all
levels. I feel like this is another
fee. We have to help them, at-
tract them and support them
when they come,” Ryan said.
The City of Keizer is now accepting submissions for its annual
holiday card.
One piece of artwork will be selected by the Keizer Public
Arts Commission to be reproduced as the City of Keizer’s 2017
Holiday Greeting Card. The artist who submits the winning
piece will receive a $100 gift card to Michaels Arts & Crafts.
Entries must be submitted to Debbie Lockhart at the Keizer
Civic Center, 930 Chemawa Rd. NE., no later than 4 p.m., Fri-
day, Nov. 17. Entry forms are available for download at www.
keizer.org or may be picked up at the Keizer Civic Center offi ce.
The winning entry will be selected by the Keizer Public Arts
Commission based on established guidelines for public art in
Keizer and relevance to the holiday theme. The artist with the
winning entry will be notifi ed by email or phone by Nov. 22.

Businesses, especially small, owner-operated
ones, are not banks and generally can not afford
to carry account balances for long periods of
time. Commerce works best when customers
pay their bills. Sometimes, after trying to collect
debts, businesses must turn to professionals to
help collect money owed to them.
That’s when they can turn to Cascade
Collections, Inc. Since March 1970 Cascade
Collections, Inc. has represented businesses
in the collection of past due accounts
including resolution of disputes and payment
negotiations. Owner Rob Robertson and his
professional staff gather information, follow up
on investigations and, when necessary, use legal
means to ensure repayment.
“We offer our clients help in establishing a
billing and collection procedure time schedule
to help increase the best rate of return for
them,” says Robertson.
Cascade Collections offers a letter writing
service prior to a past due account being
assigned for collection. “This is a notice sent on
our own letterhead giving the consumer a fi nal
30 days to remedy their debt and deal directly
with our client,” Robertson explains.
There is a small cost to our client, however,
100 percent of the money collected during
the initial 30-day period goes directly to the
client; there is no commission owed during this
period.
Cascade Collections is a full-service
collection agency, dedicated to the success
of their clients through the highest level of
professional and ethical collections procedure
providing their customers the best rate of
recovery on their past due accounts.
“Our mission is to maintain a positive
reputation of our industry and add to the health
of our economy. We represent our clients with
integrity and treat our customers with respect,”
Robertson says.
