Keizer Fire continues streak
of stellar yearly audits
Keizer Fire District (KFD) has again received
the highest review score of an “unmodifi ed
opinion” which is the highest positive auditor
opinion they can offer, regarding the accuracy
of the accounting and fi duciary responsibil-
ity, which KFD achieves annually.
KFD received its annu-
al audit fi ndings at the regular
monthly board of directors
meeting through their audi-
tors, Aldrich CPAs LLC.
Oregon budget law re-
quires governmental agencies
to review all fi nancial controls
annually for special districts,
such as fi re districts.
The KFD board of directors went over
the auditor fi ndings in detail at their monthly
board meeting with the auditors and fi nancial
committee for Keizer Fire.
“Not only has the responsibility been met,
KFD increased its cash position regarding assets
and liabilities and related public employee doc-
umentation recording,” said auditor Josh Bailey.
“The fi re district’s fi nancial status and
cash position are a direct result
of good management decisions
and good strong relationship
with your community.”
Keizer Fire Board Presi-
dent, Chet Patterson, who is
also a certifi ed public accoun-
tant (CPA), commented; “The
importance of good fi nancial
records and recording of pub-
lic funding year after year is vital
in the public trust and refl ects directly on a
good organization such as ours … this is re-
fl ective of staff adhering to policy and doing
things right.”
Daylight saving time will take effect Sunday,
Nov. 3, at 2 a.m., which is the time to set the
clocks back an hour. In addition to setting the
clocks back an hour it is also a good idea to
check the smoke alarm.

Over the course of three
days, more than 150 McNary
High culinary students in fi ve
of Chef Wendy Bennett’s ca-
reer and technical education
classes prepared and cooked all
the ingredients for the month-
ly Keizer Community Dinner
at St. Edward Catholic Church
on Wednesday, Oct. 23.
Approximately 120 pounds
of meatloaf, 50 pounds of po-
tatoes and nine gallons of gra-
vy were used to feed around
400 guests in a homestyle meal
that was created from scratch.
Green beans were donated by
Sodexo.
The Keizer Community
Dinner is open to all people in
the community on the fourth
Wednesday of every month.
