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.

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.

“None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves

Fan-favorite burger
chain might open in
late November
A Keizer Station In-N-
Out location may begin
construction as soon as June.
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.
Kiwanis Club hosts
fun rides June 16
Salem Kiwanis Club and Di-
vision 70 invites the communi-
ty to participate in their Salem
3-2-1 Family Fun Ride sup-
porting Kiwanis Doernbecher
Children’s Cancer Program.
The ride will begin at 2:30 p.m.
on Sunday, June 16, at Salem’s
Riverfront Park Pavilion.
The routes are eight to 15
miles and are all on paved park
trails. Riders will be able travel
through three parks as well as
ride along the Willamette Riv-
er.
The rider entry fee is $25, a
rider with a plus one is $40 and
family entree fee is $65.
Pre-registered riders check-
in and day-of-ride registration
will begin at 1:30 p.m. To reg-

two potential paths: rework
the development code to
encourage more multifamily
and infi ll housing types and
job-creating spaces, or try to
expand the Urban Growth
Boundary (UGB) the city
shares with Salem.
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.

ing redevelopment at higher
densities, Keizer could ac-
commodate up to 5,700 new
residential units and foster
the creation of 6,000 new
jobs.
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.
