The underlying assumption is that this type of housing will take the pressure off the single-family residences Keizer is known for and provide a greater mix of housing types to meet the needs of all potential residents. If nothing is done, residents can expect more of the same, e.g. the average sale price of a single-family home jumping 11 percent ($27,000) as it did between 2016 and 2018. To meet the expected increase of 10,000 new residents over the next 20 years, Keizer will need to move quickly and will likely be doing so facing headwinds ROTARY, continued from Page A1 and eliminates an opportunity to capture revenue that could pay for the continued upkeep of the civic center. The memo offered three op- tions: continue along the lines of Rotary’s proposal, require that Rotary pay established us- age rates or establish a new rate taking into account the work Rotary members perform in the community at large. From the outset, councilors Roland Herrera and Marlene Parsons sided with Rotary members, many of whom were in attendance at the meeting. “As I look out I see pillars of our community out here. I want us to consider that. There are four fi rst citizens out here. They’ve put so much time in and I want us to keep that in mind,” Herrera said. “I think the service they give is something you cannot put a price tag on,” Parsons added. In the earlier letter, Rotary alleged that city staff said the projects the club backs fall into the area of “wants” rather than “needs.” Mayor Cathy Clark said the wrangling over the types of projects Rotary backs in return for usage of the rooms is a mat- ter of clearing lines of commu- nication. “I also think it’s important to have the conversation about projects as they develop. If we can communicate early about projects you are interested we can determine where they fi t in with the things we have in master plans,” Clark said. Councilor Laura Reid said it wasn’t simply a matter of waiv- ing fees for a preferred group. “I think it’s important that we look at the nonprofi ts themselves and the work they do. This is not just a fi scal ques- tion, it’s a matter of what Ro- tary does. We are trusting that Rotary will multiply this ben- efi t and make it work in many ways throughout the commu- nity,” Reid said. Members of Rotary, city staff members and Council- or Dan Kohler are working through the fi nal details of the agreement. in the development market. Right now, there isn’t much incentive for private property owners to redevelop existing residential or commercial properties. Creating incentives – like improved streetscapes and new, shared open spaces – to foster such development will most likely fall to the city and all of its resident taxpayers. And it won’t be accomplished with the existing ultra-low local property tax rate. The other option is seeking to expand the city limits. That is a proposition much easier said than done and comes with a whole different set of costs. Just getting to the point of expanding the city boundaries could cost upward of $1 million, but it won’t stop there. Adding new land to Keizer will mean every bit of infrastructure – sewers, streets, electricity and more – must be extended into the new areas. At a minimum, Keizer would be looking at an investment of $40,000 per home. Those added costs that could well “price out” the city’s current residents from ever moving to homes in the new areas. Costs aside, expanding the city limits is a viable option, but ask yourself if you want the decision made for you. As much as this conversation affects current residents, its outcomes will affect future generations. If you are one of those residents hoping to keep your family geographically close, the decisions reached through this process are just as important. As proud as Keizerites are of being a one-high-school-town, the graduates of McNary aren’t coming back to live here as frequently as they once did. LATINO: ‘An investment from people who believe in you’ (Continued from Page A1) that made a great difference in my life,” Domin- guez said while addressing the 18 students. “The scholarship that you are receiving today is an in- vestment from people who believe in you.” The vision of the Latino Action Committee is to manifest Latino participation and representa- tion with the goal of informing, encouraging and supporting Latinos at all levels and educational affairs, particularly in increasing graduation. Herrera addressed some of the obstacles that Latinos face in American education, and was pleased that these Keizer kids were able to per- severe. “We all struggle to get through school, but when you have language barriers and economic and social barriers, it can be more diffi cult. But they never gave up,” Herrera said. The awards and recognition were met with gratitude from the McNary students. “It’s a sweet honor to be able to get this schol- arship so that I can go to school. I like that peo- ple are noticing and paying specifi c attention to Latinos in their community and helping us get to our dreams,” said Lorena Arellano Franco, who’s attending Willamette University next year to ma- jor in biology. “I am so thankful for these types of commit- tees to help me reach my dreams.

At the conclusion of the event, Clark shared with the audience that the LAC scholarship pro- gram was to be named after the Herrera family, specifi cally in honor Roland Herrera’s brother, Ruben Castilla Herrera — who passed away earlier this year and was a beloved activist in Ohio that was involved with several social justice movements. “It blew me away. I was so overwhelmed,” Herrera said. “My brother was an amazing activ- ist. He had an impact on so many different com- munities.” Video game tourney May 31 in Keizer 3893 COMMERCIAL ST SE Wonder Park (PG) Fri 2:00 Sat 12:00, 1:55 Sun 12:00 It may be because they can’t fi nd a home in the right price range and it may be the lack of “things to do.” It’s probably both, but creating a mix of lifestyle opportunities will only add to the small town feel and increase the diversity of options available to families in all stages of life.
