PAGE A2, KEIZERTIMES, MAY 25, 2018 GRASSROOTS police scanner GOVERNMENT Mail thief cuffed on Thorman The Keizer Public Art Commission held its most recent meeting Tuesday, May 15, here’s what was discussed: • Commissioners ap- proved a Request for Pro- posal (RFP) for an artist to carve one or both of the tree trunks that are on the north- west corner of the Keizer Civic Center property. The trunks have been preserved in hope of creat- ing cultural history poles by enlisting the services of a chainsaw carving artist. With an award of $5,000 from the Oregon Cul- tural Trust, the group has $10,000 to get the project off the ground. The cost of both poles is expected to be around $20,000. Com- missioners are hoping to spur additional donations by completing one pole. The RFP could be re- leased as soon as June 1. Artists will have 90 days to submit design concepts and budgets associated with carving one or both poles. Artists applying should be adept at carving a variety of subjects including animals, humans and agricultural scenes. In late 2017 and early 2018, the commission host- ed a series of design work- shops to come up with a list of potential ideas for the poles. Artists will be required to choose from the follow- ing list of potential subjects: the school bell located in the Keizer Cultural Center, river rapids, representations of Keizer schools, fi sh, coyotes, the annual Iris parade, cows, baseball, hops fi elds, fi lbert trees, strawberry fi elds, the Blake log cabin, Wallace House, the words: pride, spirit and volunteerism; the Christmas tree lighting, the Keizer Police Department, the Keizer Fire District, mu- sic, eagles and ospreys, the Big Toy, geese and people working together. Commissioners will re- view the submissions at their September meeting. School budget garners near-unanimous approval By HERB SWETT Of the Keizertimes A 2018-19 budget pro- posal of $1,147,797,142 for Salem-Keizer Public Schools received a favorable vote from the budget committee Tues- day. A favorable vote on the bond measure and new rev- enue estimates from the Ore- gon Department of Education increased the amount from the original $691,458,464. The revision includes two full-time nurses, four full- time counselors, a full-time equivalent of 3-3/4 behav- ior specialists, an additional $1 million for elementary mathematics, and $424 mil- lion more for the 2018 bond capital fund. Final approval of the bud- get is expected at the June 12 meeting of the school board. The board makes up half of the budget committee and appoints the other members from the district. The vote was 12-2, with negative votes coming from board members Jesse Lippold and Paul Kyllo. Both of them also were the only committee members in favor of a mo- tion by Lippold to terminate the district’s employment of Educational Excellence and transfer the $350,000 budget for it to increase the mentor- ship program and pay AVID teachers. Lippold’s position was that because Educational Excel- lence is a for-profi t company, the $350,000 would be better spent for programs under dis- trict control. Asked after the committee meeting why he voted against adoption of the budget, Lip- pold said the composition of the budget that convinced him that the district did not do everything it could for the students and teachers. Kyllo left the building immediate- ly and was not available for comment. One proposed change to the original budget was unan- imously approved. Kathy Goss, a board member, had moved that $150,000 be transferred from the contingency fund to have health services fully funded. The meeting started with comments from the audience. A long succession of teach- ers, including Keizer residents Nubia Green and Lindsay White, credited Educational Excellence for the strong aca- demic improvements in the schools targeted for its help.

She re- plied that it had achieved the expected results of improving the underachieving schools. Perry added that the em- ployment of Educational Ex- cellence involved both Title I and Title II federal fund- ing. She said that terminating the program was doable un- der Title II but that she had doubts whether abandoning the program would keep the district qualifi ed to receive Title I funds. Several speakers from the fl oor also commented that transferring money to provide more health services was nec- essary for students. 8k, 5k, 1k State Capitol Start/Finish Let’s Hustle to Prevent Heart Disease!
