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.

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-
