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-

crements as needed.
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.

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

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

Other businesses that must

SKPS school board
meets to address
statewide closures
By MATT RAWLINGS
Of the Keizertimes
The Salem-Keizer School
District’s Board of Directors
held an emergency meeting
on Wednesday, March 18, af-
ter Oregon Gov. 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
