said Howald. “These were
and continue to be unusual
times and we want to add
them to the historical record
of the city.”
Depending on response,
future interview dates may
be scheduled. Those with
longer stories may be asked
to return and fi nish their
interviews at a later date.
Becker
and
Howald
decided independently that
they wanted to do more to
document Keizer’s response
to the pandemic and found
each other when Howald
inquired about archiving
interviews at the museum.
The pair plan to use the
stories in a variety of ways.
Becker plans to edit the
video into a compilation
telling the story of Keizer’s
pandemic response. Howald
plans to use interviews in the
Keizertimes and to produce
an audio documentary that
could be aired on KMUZ
community radio at a later
date.
Participants are welcome
to participate in small, family
groupings. Volunteers will
meet participants at the door
of the Keizer Cultural Center
and guide them through the
next steps.

DELIGHT: City plans to monitor

he was in contact with neigh-
bors along the route regarding
parking and that if problems
develop the city could take
action to make it a no parking
zone.
When Fisher posted about
her issues with the area on
social media, she said Mayor
Cathy Clark responded that
the path was never intended for
bikes, only pedestrians. Parking
is permitted on a multiuse path,
but not a bike path. The path
is not striped or otherwise sig-
naled as a bike path.
Fisher said the fi nal design
fell short no matter what the
city chose to call it.
“If it’s a path it’s not designed

that reduce violence and
harassment. Eliminating this
section from the charter is an
opportunity to put a protective
factor in place, and signal to
our youth and residents that
they are accepted and can live
and thrive in this community.”
Other recommendations
include reordering some
sections of the charter for
clarity and making it easier
to read and understand. While
some larger changes were
discussed, such as switching
to electing city councilors
by district or ranked-choice
voting, not enough members
of the task force voted to
and built as a path, if it’s a walk-
way it’s not designed and built
as a walkway,” she said. “I’m not
sure how it is going to function
when schools open up and not
sure families will let kids walk
there.”
She added there are extra
elements of danger for pedes-
trians, such as cars pulling out
of driveways, without more
being done to signal the path’s
intended use.
“There are ways to re-stripe
it or identify that it is not a
place for parking, but those vi-
sual cues are not there current-
ly,” Fisher said. “I feel bad for
the neighborhood and that they
have not received something
that we said was coming.”
move forward on those
matters. Despite not making
the cut, residents are welcome
to talk with the council about
support or opposition to such
changes during the public
hearings as the council has the
fi nal say.
The council is likely to
debate their own stances
on the changes after public
testimony and vote to approve
or reject sending the matter
to voters. Upon approval by
the city council, the changes
to the charter will be turned
into a ballot measure that
will appear on the November
ballot. Voters must approve all
changes to the charter.
