Public works crews adapt, Police: Lock your
major projects on track car doors, thefts
trending upward
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
Like many other agencies
in the pandemic era, Keiz-
er Public Works modifi ed its
operations in response to the
COVID-19 crisis.
Bill Lawyer, Keizer Public
Works director, said the chang-
es began on March 23.
“The fi rst thing we did was
divide the fi eld staff into two
groups that are now working
12-hour shifts a day,” Lawyer
said. “They work three days
on and then three off and then
four days on and four days off.
That was done to reduce the
opportunity for one person to
be infected and take out the
entire crew.”
That is a model many pub-
lic service agencies and fi rst
responders have switched to
throughout the country to
contain infections when they
occur.
“Beyond that we’ve buck-
led down with good house-
keeping and cleaning measures.
When they’re done with their

pathway along Delight Street North this week.
week, they have a routine to go
through to for cleaning before
the next crew comes in,” he
said.
Public works staff plan to
continue the rigorous sched-
ules and cleaning until new
guidance arrives from higher
authorities.
At the outset, Lawyer put
the focus on maintaining and
servicing the city’s water sup-
ply and let lower-priority items
like meter maintenance rest on
the back burner. In the weeks
since Oregonians were told to
practice social distancing and
stay at home, parks have be-
come more of a priority.
“We’ve seen the usage of

offi cials are reminding res-
idents to clear their cars of
valuables and lock them up
at night because thieves are
targeting unlocked vehicles
with increased frequency.

theft has increased in the
weeks since the COVID-19
pandemic began, said Chief
John Teague at a Keizer City
Council meeting Monday,
April 6.

crime analyst, said thefts
from vehicles, known as car
clouts in police parlance, are
not the stereotypical smash-
and-grab.
“Ninety to 95 percent
are the result of an unlocked
door or open window,”
Steele said. “We might see
a change if everyone starts
locking their car door.”
The problem with track-
ing car clouts – and appre-
hending offenders – is that
by the time the crimes are
reported and trends emerge,

Governor urges use of
homemade face masks
Gov. Kate Brown is urging
all Oregonians to wear face
masks – homemade ones are
fi ne – when in public spaces.
“This is a rapidly-evolving
situation, and each day we
learn more about this virus,”
said Brown.
The CDC has updated its
guidance regarding the use
of homemade, cloth masks in
public: wearing cloth masks
in public places like grocery
stores can help prevent those
who are sick – particularly
unknowingly infected, asymp-
tomatic people – from spread-
ing the virus further.
STAY
HOME
STAY SAFE
Skyline comes
to you!
“That last point is a very
important detail: wearing a
cloth mask may not keep you
from getting sick, but it can
help you prevent spreading
the virus to others,” Brown
said.
Following the strict social
distancing guidelines put in
place throughout Oregon ear-
lier in the outbreak is still the
best method for containing
the spread and appears to be
having a positive effect.
“Staying home is saving
lives in Oregon. When you’re
in public for essential activi-
ties like grocery shopping, stay
• At home test drives
• At home deal transaction
home service pick up
• At
and delivery
vehicles are sanitized
• All

and test drives.

six feet away from other peo-
ple. Continue to wash your
hands and properly cover your
coughs and sneezes. I know
this hasn’t been easy, and I ap-
preciate the sacrifi ces Orego-
nians have made. We must stay
the course.”
Brown also pleaded with
the state’s residents to not use
medical-grade masks. Those
are in short supply and “des-
perately” needed by frontline
health care workers treating
COVID-19 patients.
Additional guidance is
available from the CDC and
the Oregon Health Authority.

that there’s an actual holiday coming up this weekend,
but even some of the plush bunnies were taking precau-
