HOWALD Of the Keizertimes On Friday, March 20, the City of Keizer declared a state of emergency in relation to the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The action was taken not because of a Keizer-borne outbreak, but to position the city to take advantage of re- sources should one take place, said City Manager Chris Ep- pley. “One of the tools available to us is an emergency declara- tion. This is a step we believe should be made for specifi c purposes not already covered by the declarations by the county, state and federal lev- els. At this point, the time has come for the City of Keizer to proceed to declare a state of emergency so that resources will be more readily available and we can more quickly re- spond to changing needs,” said Mayor Cathy Clark in a statement regarding the dec- laration. The move positions the city to take advantage of fi - nancial and material resources, help coordinate public safety services and claim cost reim- bursements should the need arise. The state of emergency or- der cancels all public meetings through April 15. There is an option to extend the declara- 76/Smoker Friendly 24 hours daily, 503-390- 2750.

On Monday, March 23, Gov. Kate Brown issued an or- der instructing all residents of the state to stay home except when traveling for essential work, buying food and similar critical supplies or returning to their own homes. Defying the order can re- sult in being charged with endangering public health, a class C misdemeanor. People found to have violated the or- der could be jailed for up to 30 days or fi ned $1,250. The order shuts down playgrounds, parks and many other gathering spots. It also City fi nances already feeling COVID pinch By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes Until last week, things were looking up for the City of Keizer’s budget. There was a large conversation looming regarding the police services fee, but the message from city offi cials was generally a posi- tive one. Because of the COVID-19, the same city offi cials are re-examining most of their as- sumptions. The most immediate hit came in the form of room rental cancellations at the Keizer Civic Center, said Tim Wood, Keizer fi nance director. “They’re all rescheduling, but the future bookings pret- ty much have stopped for the time being,” he said. Even if business rebounds quickly, Woods estimates it When sports are canceled will drop revenues by approxi- mately 20 percent for the year. “It’s unfortunate because we’ve had several great years of building up that business,” Wood said. The city is still planning to hire an additional staff person to assist with the civic center operations, but it may be put on hold if the pandemic fears and distancing rules stay in place for a longer time. Keizer had also seen growth in the city’s transient occupan- cy tax (TOT). TOT revenues had soared with the addition of a new hotel at Keizer Sta- tion and lots of bookings as the result of In-N-Out open- ing next door. “The last couple of quarters had been phenomenal,” Wood said. He expects it to drop by Please see PINCH, Page A* They don’t need to leave home to live better closes businesses including shopping malls, tattoo parlors, barber shops andgyms.

Kate Brown announced a day prior that all schools will be closed until April 28 due to the outbreak of COVID-19, extending the original two-week closure to six weeks. The closure means that the district will go 27 days without school and that ap- proximately 41,000 local stu- dents will either be at home or in daycare — Salem-Keizer student are on spring break March 23-27. Superintendent Christy Perry shared that the closure could be shortened or extend- ed depending on guidance from public health offi cials. Perry also stated that Sa- lem-Keizer schools will still receive state funding, as long as they remain in compliance with state rules — such as pro- viding school meals, paying all staff and developing plans for supplemental learning outside of the classroom. The district released sup- plemental learning tools for all levels on their website on Saturday, March 21. However, these learning tools are not equal to classroom instruction. As far as potential make-up days are concerned, Perry said Please see SKPS, Page A8 Bi-Mart 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. M-F, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. S/S.
