PAGE A8, KEIZERTIMES, MAY 24, 2019 City will reinstate KRP caretaker position By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes After attempting to do away with a caretaker position at Keizer Rapids Park (KRP) last year, the Keizer City Council reversed course at its meeting Monday, May 20, and there might even be a limited expan- sion of it in the future. During the meeting, mem- bers of the West Keizer Neigh- borhood Association (WKNA) spoke in favor of idea again as did former city councilor Richard Walsh who has cham- pioned reinstatement of the caretaker role for the past three months. The city was planning to turn a home in the park desig- nated for a caretaker into a pri- vate rental property, but pulled the brakes on that idea when the laws governing rental prop- erty changed as the result of ac- tions in the Oregon Legislature. This week, city staff brought back a list of options for res- urrecting the caretaker role in some fashion. Councilors voted unani- mously in favor of reinstating the program, but also investi- gating supplemental efforts as time allows. Mayor Cathy Clark said the most important issue for her was getting someone in the house as soon as possible. “We have to make sure we are good stewards of the prop- erty and I’m concerned about it being vacant,” Clark said. “I would say move forward with the park caretaker and put them in the house and possibly continue to develop the RV pad obituaries Dorris Nightengale April 13, 1927 - May 18, 2019 Dorris Nightengale passed away after a short illness. She was 92 years old. Dorris was born April 13, 1927 in Mar- tinsville, MO. to Mabel and Roy Carter. The fami- ly moved to Oregon in 1936 where they settled D. Nightengale in Lafayette. Dorris grad- uated from Lafayette High School where she earned the title of Healthiest Girl in Yam- hill County. She marched in the Rose Parade at age 11 as a drum majorette. Dorris married James W. Nightengale on June 1, 1946. They celebrated 61 years to- gether. Dorris worked in sales at Meier and Frank’s and was later a bookkeeper for Weeks Berry Nursery. She also worked at Egan Gardens. Dorris was known for her beautifully decorated home and was an avid gardener. Her gardens were featured twice on The Gilbert House Garden Tour. Three weddings were hosted in her backyard. Dorris was one of the orig- inal Fire Belles at Keizer Fire Department and was one of the Grand Marshals of the 2018 Iris Parade. Dorris is preceded in death by her husband James, moth- er and father, and three sisters Frances, Evalea and Dorthy. She leaves behind daughters Janice McCarthy (Kevin) and Nancy Bauer (Dave), grand- children Jeremy Ferguson (Jill), Kara Youngblutt (Joe), Angie Padian (Chris), Adam McCarthy (Sokha), Mike Bauer (Alison) and Dan Mc- Carthy. She also has 15 great grandchildren. Private family services will be held at Willamette Na- tional Cemetery. Assisting the family is Virgil T. Golden Fu- neral Service. for a supplemental host,” said City Manager Chris Eppley. Still to be determined is what role a caretaker or park host would serve. The previ- ous caretaker initially provid- ed maintenance in addition to enforcing park rules and gen- erally keeping an eye out for suspicious activity. Before the agreement was altered, he also patrolled the forested area of the park every evening. Those safety and security services are the types members of WKNA want to see restored, but achieving that level of dili- gence could be a tall order de- pending on who applies to the job. Keizer Police Chief John Teague said calls to the park are “recurring, but not regular.” He indicated that the park has not been an undue burden, but that having eyes in the park on a regular basis alleviates some of the potential issues. “So crime isn’t the issue, it’s more security. Having someone who knows when to call when necessary,” said City Councilor Laura Reid. Since the park host role was ended, the city has added its fi rst restroom with fl ushing toi- lets at KRP. Its supplies tend to be exhausted during weekend hours with high volume, and parks employees often don’t work during those hours. A caretaker could be benefi cial in terms of keeping up with those demands. Another option fl oated was establishing a park ranger po- sition. That would be a heavier lift with additional costs, but Councilor Dan Kohler didn’t want it dismissed out-of-pock- et. “If it is benefi cial, it is worth all the diffi culty of putting it together because it works. Just because one [option] is more diffi cult or complex, it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t tackle it,” Kohler said. Keizer Public Works Direc- tor Bill Lawyer said there need- ed to be a list of duties in place that covered the spectrum of seasonal needs when it comes to caring for the park and to get the city’s money worth if it de- cides to forgive $1,500 a month in rent in return for services within the park. “I think we need to outline the expectations and get our money’s worth. Is it garbage, mowing, cleaning the bath- rooms or all of the above? I think we need to look at an an- nual program and look at what can be accomplished through- out the year,” Lawyer said. City staff will return to the council with a more detailed list of potential duties in the near future. In addition to a caretak- er position housed in the park, staff are also going to investigate what it would take to add a sea- sonal park host like those found in Oregon state parks. “[Oregon state parks] have plenty of infrastructure in place for determining benefi cial re- lationships. If you can make it almost identical, you will have the services the city wants and a volunteer pool to draw from,” Walsh said.
