MAY 10, 2019, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A7 BUDGET, continued from Page A1 package and $3,000 of annual upkeep on the same. • The same employees have saved the city roughly $665,000 in the by champion- ing and tracking workers com- pensation benefi ts that rou- tinely cost almost a third less than comparable entities across the state. STREET FUNDS • Revenues to improve Keizer streets are increasing (by an estimated $400,000) primarily due to a gas tax ap- proved by the Oregon Legis- lature in 2018 and increases in associated fees throughout the state. • The easing of those purse strings will result in the pedes- trian improvements on Delight Street North in the next fi scal year. The improvements will not quite stretch all the way to the Cummings Elementary School campus, but will be put in place from Chemawa Road North to Dearborn Avenue North. WATER • Residents can expect a 4.5 percent increase in water bills in the coming year. • Stormwater bill will in- crease by 55 cents per equiva- lent stormwater unit (ESU). • Sewer rates, which are set by the city of Salem, are ex- pected to increase by 2 percent. • Keizer water bills are gen- erally some of the cheapest per- gallon around, about 1/3 of a penny, that’s because the city pulls its supply from ground- water instead of surface water, which is the case in Salem. “We are fortunate that we don’t have to treat our water. We pump it out of the ground, add a little fl uoride and send it to homes and businesses,” said Bill Lawyer, Keizer Public Works director. REVENUE • Cutting the cord from ca- ble and landline telephone ser- vices is resulting in a tangible decreases in franchise fees paid to the city by corporate over- lords. Telephone franchise fees are projected to fall by 17.7 percent. Cable television fees are falling by 7.8 percent. Both declines follow recent trends. • Revenues from liquor sales are projected to increase, from $635,000 to $650,000. Actual sales in 2018 outperformed expectations to the tune of $23,000. Revenues on cigarette sales are down 2.5 percent. MARIJUANA • Those cutting the cord are fi nding relief from boredom in other pursuits, apparently. Last year, the city projected collect- ing $80,000 in revenue from a sales tax on marijuana, it will actually collect about $220,000. The latter amount is being car- ried forward as the projection for next year. • Don’t ask anyone at the city to discuss this money or where it comes from. They can’t. Oregon statues prevent them from divulging anything bordering on specifi cs out of fear that someone might re- verse engineer what each shop pulls generates in sales. • For those of you reaching for the calculator, Keizer has four marijuana shops. The sales tax on marijuana is 20 percent (17 percent state tax and 3 per- cent local tax). After processing fees, Keizer gets most of the 3 percent and an allocation from the 17 percent collected state- wide. POLICE • By shifting around some duties as the result of a police fee to hire new offi cers, Keizer Police Chief John Teague es- timates the Keizer Police De- partment (KPD) gained the equivalent of 1.5 new detec- tives. The achievement was reached by moving some De- partment of Human Resources reporting duties from the de- tective unit to school resource offi cers, Teague said. • A labor dispute in which the KPD sergeants are seek- ing union representation has cost the department roughly $30,000 over the last year and nothing is yet settled. • Collections on traffi c ci- tations are up (from roughly $200,000 to $260,000) and expected to increase by at least another 10 percent in the coming year (projected at $286,000). Still, only about 50 percent of citations issued are ever paid and the city has to keep pursuing them at some level for at least 20 years. • KPD will soon be the proud owner of large cargo container. That’s because the department seized two vehi- cles as part of major criminal investigations and must now hold onto them for the next 60 years while all possible le- gal challenges are exhausted. The cost to taxpayers is $4,000, initially, plus whatever it takes to keep them from rusting into oblivion between then and now. The location where the container will be kept is not being divulged. • Payments to the Wil- lamette Valley Communica- tions Center (9-1-1 dispatch- ing services) are going up from approximately $469,000 to $502,000, or 7.1 percent. A portion of the fee is paid through a 75-cent service charge on mobile and land- line phones, but it’s not nearly enough to make up for the cost. Teague said there are pro- posals in the Oregon Legisla- ture to reduce the impact on local agencies. COMMUNITY CEN- TER/ TOURISM TAXES • Rental revenues at the Keizer Civic Center are up, but the operation still relies on about $30,000 annually from the collection of a tourism and occupancy tax (TOT). • With the addition of a second hotel at Keizer Station, revenues from the TOT are expected to climb. Tim Wood, Keizer’s fi nance director, re- ported that fourth quarter revenues from 2018 amounted to almost half of what the city got on an annual basis prior to the new hotel coming online. • The Civic Center hosted 569 events in 2018 and already has reservations for 650 on the books this year. • An increased portion of the TOT revenues will be di- rected to the Keizer Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber’s allocation will increase from $8,500 to $16,000. obituaries Theodore Peter Anagnos April 3, 1956 – April 25, 2019 Born to Leo and Cally An- ing.
