Fire board continues tapk on devepopment fees By MATT RAWLINGS Of the Keizertimes The Keizer Fire Dis- trict held its monthly board meeting on Tuesday night to discuss public fees, name designation and the general election coming up in May. During the board meet- ing last month, Fire Chief Jeff Cowan brought a proposal before the board that would amend a fi re and life safety fee for anyone who applies for a commercial building permit from a $90 fl at fee to a 6 percent fee of the total fees assessed — meaning if the combined permit fees totaled $4,000, the District would receive $240. It was determined during the December meeting that it would be in the best inter- est of the city to hold a pub- lic comment hearing at the Wednesday meeting. Keizer resident Bill Quinn was the only one to speak during the public comment period, coming out in favor of the proposal. “I think we really need the fee for the work that you do,” Quinn said. “It’s just a fee for service and it makes a lot of sense.” The board passed the ap- proval with a 4-1 vote, with the only opposition coming from Ron Christopher, who wanted to see more money go to building a new website. “I would be in favor of it if we could use that money and air mark that money to something specifi c like devel- oping our website,” Christo- pher said. Greg Ego and Betty Hart were vocal about their ap- proval of the proposal. Dog shelter is expanding hours The Marion County Dog Shelter has expanded its hours of operation to include eve- ning hours. Beginning Monday, March 10 the shelter will be open Monday through Friday noon to 6 p.m. and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. The ex- pansion of dog control hours will allow dog control offi cers to increase dog safety services throughout Marion County. Purchasing of dog licenses and adoption services will be available during the shelter’s public hours. Dog license and other fees will increase beginning Feb. 1. Dog license and impound fees and fi nes are part of the shel- ter’s annual operating budget and are used to help cover the cost of shelter operations, in- cluding dog control offi cers who help maintain communi- ty safety. This will be the fi rst increase in fees for the dog shelter since 2011 and the fi rst increase to licensing fees since 2002. License fees for will in- crease from $17 to $20 annu- ally for altered dogs and from $32 to $37 for non-altered dogs. Discounted fees are available for multi-year licens- es and for senior dog owners. For more information about Marion Dog Services fees and hours, visit www.mcdogs.net or call (503) 588-5233. KEIZERTIMES/Matt Rawpings Director Joe Van Meter engages the rest of the Keizer Fire Board in a discussion. “I’m in favor of making these changes. I think that they are reasonable,” Ego said. “This is not about generating income. It’s about covering costs.” Hart also commented: “The purpose of these fees is for cost recovery and I think that they should be considered as helping to pay the costs of the things we’re charging (building owners) for. It’s possible, as a result of that, that will free up enough tax dollars to do other things.” Before the vote was tak- en, Cowan shared with the board an estimation of what the Department would have brought in if the six percent fee was enacted from 2015 to 2019 — which was roughly just over $22,000. In other business: Hart reported that the Department has received $88,164 in ambulance pay- maze 5 YEARS AGO Last month’s water damage caused by burst piper at Classic Tap Dance Studio was worse than originally thought.

Ego, Hart and President Chet Patterson are up for re-election in May. Patterson also mentioned the passing of Jerry McGee — Keizer’s longest serving city councilor.
