multifamily housing with
generally less than 10 units. 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,

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.

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. If I could be a
part of this in the future, I’d gladly do it so that I

could help others that are in my position.”
Dominguez was one of the special speakers at
this event and concluded his presentation with
three points: be a role model, be involved in the
community and include God in your journey.
“I hope this will be a long standing memory
that you will not forget,” Dominguez said. “Now,
you are ready to launch out into the real world
with God-given talents and abilities.”
“Be bold and be confi dent that you will suc-
ceed in the next steps of your journey … I hope
that this scholarship will give you a new sense of
destiny.”
Keizer Mayor Cathy Clark also gave a brief
speech of encouragement.
“We’re investing in your future, but you’re go-
ing to take that investment and you’re going to
do great things,” Clark said.
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.”

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.
