MYSTERY: ‘I don’t think we
should just tear it down’
(Continued from Page A1)
The husband was also willing to
donate money toward the manicur-
ing of the area. Ms. (Valerie) Perry
suggested the Rose Society be con-
tacted to take care of the roses and
perhaps add more bushes.
Carroll Sovereign passed
away in Everett, Wash., in 2010
at the age of 96. His obituary
in the Everett Herald read: “He
was married at various times,
but the love of his life was
Rose Jackson. During their 28
years of marriage, they shared
true fulfi llment and happiness.”
The city has been unable to
locate any other surviving rel-
atives.
At a certain point in time,
the memorial was a heartfelt
tribute to a beloved woman. In
the decades since it was erect-
ed, the shrine has fallen into
a state of disrepair. The lattice
trellis is rotting away. The tallest
branches of the rose bushes rise
roughly 14 feet in the air and
then slump over. Ivy is doing
its best to throttle one of the
rose bushes entirely.
Rose Sovereign’s memorial
began raising a host of ques-
tions at Keizer Parks Advisory
Board meetings in 2019. Aside
from launching a quest to fi g-
ure out where it came from,
members of the parks board
have wrestled with questions
from who performs mainte-
nance duties and whether a
donation should continue to
be maintained in perpetuity.
The city has some of the
bases covered in existing policy.
Donations of trees and ameni-
ties such as shelters, tables and
benches are already addressed,
but the Sovereign memori-
al fell outside the established
guidelines in a few areas: ros-
es require a different type of
maintenance than trees, the
trellis is not a shelter in the tra-
ditional sense and the plaques
are not permitted with other
“living memorials” for vandal-
ism and maintenance reasons.
At a meeting of the parks
board in on Jan. 14, board
members approved updates to
Keizer’s park and public space
donation policy. The changes
are intended to help navigate
issues related to the Sovereign
memorial and others that arose
in recent years.
The main changes pertain
to replacing memorials, assign-
ing maintenance duties to the
donor and termination of a
monument or memorial. A last
minute addition was made to
require some sort of statement
about the purpose of a me-
morial during the application
process.
“A write-up would help
understand the nexus between
the donors and the signifi -
cance of the memorial and it
would stay in the city records,”
said Lawyer.
Such a statement would
help future city leaders deter-
mine the appropriate termina-
tion process when memorials
reach the end of their life cy-
cle,” said Dylan Juran another
member of the board.
If adopted by the city, the
new policy would state that
memorial would be replaced
“only under extremely rare
and unusual circumstances.”
That portion of the change
pertains to a previous situation
in which sand volleyball courts
were replaced at Keizer Rap-
ids. The original courts were
installed by an Eagle Scout,
but another donor with the
fi nancial ability to upgrade
the courts replaced them years
later.
Additionally, maintenance
of memorial sites would be the
duty of the donor while the
memorials themselves would
become property of the city.
Donor families would be giv-
en the opportunity to reinvest
in the sites so long as current
contact information is on-
hand at city hall.
The city would also get the
right to terminate a memorial
when it is damaged or defaced
or if applicable laws change.
As for what will happen
with the Sovereign memo-
rial, it is likely facing its de-
mise in the near future. Board
Member Tanya Hamilton said
it wasn’t a decision to make
lightly.
“I don’t think we should
just tear it down. It’s a sensi-
tive topic for a lot of people,”
Hamilton said.
The new policy will permit
the city to remove memorials
predating the new policy at
the end of their “salvageable
life span.”
KLL: Lack of succession
plans may be a barrier
(Continued from Page A1)
was the time and resources it takes to oper-
ate this facility. If it meant paying a little more
and not having to do anything, would you pay
a little more,” Lawyer said. “We want there to
be consistency and sustainability and there’s al-
ready a lack of consistency between the two
reps of KLL.”
He added that without being able to guar-
antee a Keizer-connected entity winning the
long-term lease, it was too uncertain of a gam-
ble.
The representatives of McNary
Youth Baseball, Bo Lane and Rob
Tavares, both supported the city as-
suming control of the space even if it
meant paying higher usage fees.
“I think the reality is the city should
have taken over a long time ago. The
issues we are dealing with come from
only one organization managing the
complex,” Lane said. “Parents would
much rather pay $1,000 for a tour-
nament ball team than pay $200 and
have to work at the park.”
Councilor Marlene Parsons said
she was wearing two hats – city coun-
cilor and grandmother – as she made
her support for a long-term lease known.
“The city is not wanting to take over the
park,” said Councilor Parsons.
“I pay a parks fee every month and I would
like to see part of that fee go to the little league
fi elds,” said Grandmother Parsons.
Councilor Dan Kohler supported the long-
term lease option, but said he had “cautious
concerns” over making it the recommenda-
tion.
“We’ve had two groups use the short-term
agreement and we’ve seen the people in Keiz-
er Little League at the table have all changed
and McNary Youth Baseball has a new name.
How do we put together a long-term agree-
ment when the league management changes
from the people that are sitting at the table
here,” Kohler said.
Both Keizer City Manager Chris Eppley
and Keizer Public Works Director Bill Lawyer
said the city’s cost to run the facility would
require higher fees from participating families.
“I want nothing to do with managing that
complex but, if we are going to do it, I want
to do it right and it will affect the fees,” Bill
Lawyer said.
If the city had to hire
additional employees to
manage the facility, em-
ployee benefi ts require-
ments would add to
overall cost of operations.
Eppley said it might
even mean the park lies
dormant for a season if
youth leagues aren’t will-
ing to extend the current
contract.
— Bo Lane
“[Taking over the
park] would be a funda-
mental departure from
the way the city was founded – minimalist
government at the lowest possible cost,” Ep-
pley said. “We don’t take on new programs if
we can avoid it. This is a signifi cant divergence
from our business model. That said, the city
council can tell me to get over it and say we
are moving in a new direction.”
In the end, Matt Lawyer, Lane and Tavares
all voted against the motion to seek a long-
term lease. Lane asked if there would still be
opportunities to oppose the move when the
city council takes up the recommendation.
There will be, possibly as soon as February.
“I think the
reality is the
city should
have taken
over a long
time ago. ”
