Fire district will consider additional construction fees By MATT RAWLINGS Of the Keizertimes The Keizer Fire District held their monthly board meeting on Dec. 18 with the main topic of discussion be- ing the amendment of fees for fi re plan reviews. It was announced that in November, the district re- ceived $135,350 in ambu- lance payments, which ended up being under budget. The district was also over budget when it came to over- time hours for the fi re staff — in large part due to the fact that many fi refi ghters were sent down south to help with the wildfi res in California. To try and help fi x the mi- nor budget issues, Jeff Cow- an, the Keizer Fire Chief, brought a proposal before the board that would require any- one that applies for a permit for a new building to pay a six percent fi re and life safety fee — the city, state and count currently charge a 12 percent fee. The script that he read from was created by the fi re district’s legal council. Right now, there is only a $90 fee for anyone that applies for a new building permit — the six percent fee would be tacked on to that. Part of the reason Cowan believes this will be good for the city of Keizer is that the money won’t be coming from the taxpayer’s wallet. “With our current policy, fi re district taxes would pay for our inspection fees. But our costs are going up and we don’t want to put anymore cost on the back of the tax- payer,” Cowan said about the proposal. According to Cowan, the majority of new buildings that are going up in the city are commercial buildings where the owners don’t live in Keizer. Although the proposal was initially passed, it was later de- termined during the meeting that it would be in the best interest of the city to hold a public comment period. Nate Brown, the Commu- nity Development Depart- ment director for the city of Keizer, has his reservations about the fee proposal. “I’m really struggling to see how important (the pro- posal) is because it’s not go- ing to raise a lot of money for them,” Brown said. “It just seems like nickle and diming people for not very much (money).” According to Brown, the Marion County fi nance de- partment estimated that the city collects about $30,000 per year in building permit fees, meaning that the six percent fee would roughly bring in just $1,800. There will be a public comment period addressing this issue at the next board meeting, which will take place on Jan. 15. In other business: • Keizer Fire District of- fi ce manager Vickey Dosier is retiring at the end of the month. She will be replaced by Lyn Komp — who is coming from the Mount An- ger Fire Department — in January. • The board unanimously passed a renewal of the Ac- cident and Sickness program, which gives benefi ts to vol- unteer fi refi ghters. • The board also unani- mously passed a renewal of their property and liability coverage. • The district has received 95 percent of tax revenue for the year — they have until May to collect all the reve- nue. • Cowan addressed the fi re that occurred at the San- ta Breakfast on Dec. 9 at the station, which was apparently caused by a malfunction with the stove. The fi re caused only minor damage, but the stove needed a $500 repair. WorshipDirectory These Salem-Keizer houses of worship invite you to visit.
