Student Night EVERY THURSDAY! All Ages Movies in Theatre #3. Today in History In a major civil rights victory, the U.S. Supreme Court hands down an unanimous decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, ruling that racial segregation in public educational facilities is unconstitutional. The Supreme Court ruled in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) that “separate but equal” accommodations in railroad cars conformed to the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection. That ruling was used to justify segregating all public facilities, including elementary schools. — May 17, 1954 time around. The kick-off party, which traditionally took place the Thursday night before the parade was bumped back fi ve days and it made room for a Family Night at the main tent. “Not every family can afford the wristband for carnival rides and food to go with it,” said Bethell said. “If they can forego that and still feel out and about and part of the community, we’re really open to those opportunities.” On Thursday at the main tent, families will fi nd free games inside the tent and opportunities to check out different video gaming stations provided by Satellite Gaming. Another big change will be expanded festival hours on Sunday for the fi rst-ever La Familia Day. After the Teen Music Showcase ends, about 3 p.m., several local and regional Latino bands and performers will be highlighted on the main stage. La Familia Day has been almost two years in the making, but Bethell wants it to be the start of something much bigger going forward. “The big thing was noticing how many Latino families line River Road during the parade and then not seeing some of those faces in other festival activities,” said Bethell.

At a meeting of the Keizer Planning Commission on May 8, Keizer Development Director Nate Brown said the location could open as soon as late November. A message from Jim Lockington, a new store development manager with the fan-favorite burger chain, to city offi cials confi rms that the chain is moving ahead with its plans. Lockington said that the chain’s escrow on the property will close around May 17 and an on-site pre-construction meeting is planned for June 6 with construction commencing immediately. “The fl oor plan that we are building on this site is a brand new fl oor plan. We recently did some internal coordination with our operations department and our go-to trade contractors and have made some changes to the permit-ready plans,” Lockington said. The Keizer location will be the third one in Oregon and the farthest north on Interstate 5 from the chain’s California origins.

In either case, the city doesn’t stand to collect any signifi cant new revenue as a result. “If all the redevelopment or new development were to happen at once, there would be about $1 million in new revenue,” said Tim Wood, Keizer fi nance director. Most of that new money would have to go directly toward providing increased police or municipal services, both of which already operate in bottlenecks. The council will have to balance that part of the equa- tion with whatever it costs to reach the goal of accommo- dating new residents’ needs. If the council opts to move for- ward with a UGB expansion, there is the potential for up to an additional $1 million in hard costs for staff time and legal bills while trying to wrangle approvals from other governing agencies. Brown noted that the cost of all the studies to date have been covered by grants made available at the state level, there will be no such money to assist with expanding the UGB. While the path to UGB expansion appears fraught, Brown also gave the council some relatively better news.

Details on how that could be accomplished are still forthcoming, but Shane Witham, Keizer’s senior planner, presented it as pre- liminary fi ndings from a draft of a report heading for the Housing Needs Assessment and Buildable Lands Inven- tory later this month. That forecast sounds rosy, but there is no market pres- sure to redevelop spaces in Keizer. “In the near term, there is not a lot of likelihood of redevelopment, the current return along River Road is fairly stable and fairly healthy,” Brown said. “The best way to invest is to fo- cus on the long term. The market will put on more and more pressure. Retail tends to reinvent itself on a regular basis, but it is something you will have to consider.” The type of development also matters, added City Manager Chris Eppley, “Sin- gle family residences con- sume more resources than they pay for, multifamily gets closer [to breaking even]. If the shift were to more em- ployment land, it would have higher value and personal property taxes that go to the state and pays for a lot of ev- erything else.” The council isn’t forecast- ing the route it will choose and isn’t expected to make a decision anytime soon, but soon it will have much of the information it can hope to have before determining the city’s next moves.
