After
haggling
with Labor Contracting, which
legislators
and

organizations over whether to
release information showing
how the federal program
disbursed money in response
to the COVID-19 pandemic,
the U.S. Treasury Department
began releasing some of
the information this week.
Even with full disclosure a
lingering question, Keizer
businesses reaped substantial
windfalls the data shows.
The loan data is divided
into two sets: loans up
to $150,000, which have
detailed amounts, and loans
more than $350,000, in
which only amount ranges
are supplied.
The vast proportion of
the payroll protection loans
went to a small number of
businesses in Keizer, but also
accounted for slightly more
than half of jobs retained,
941. Twenty-eight businesses
lists a Keizer P.O. Box but
operates in Salem, and Keizer
Campus Operations, the
owner of Avamere Court
at Keizer. Willamette Farm
Labor reported retaining
100 jobs with the money
and Keizer Campus reported
retention of 172 jobs.

The loans totaled roughly
$7.46 million and helped
retain 869 jobs. The largest
number of jobs retained
was 33 at a restaurant, but
numerous recipients reported
no jobs being retained or did
not respond to the question.
The top three loan
received loans of less than
$150,000. The data offered
by the Treasury Department
regarding those loans does
not identify businesses by
name, but does identify
the industries they operate
within. It also includes the
exact amounts of the payroll
loans provided instead of
ranges.

School board
Council backs charter changes,
appoints new removal of anti-LGBTQ+ words
leadership amid
controversy
By MATT RAWLINGS
Of the Keizertimes
After serving on Salem-
Keizer School Board for
one year, Danielle Bethell,
the Keizer Chamber of
Commerce
Executive
Director, was elected as the
Vice Chairperson of the
school board for the 2020-
21 school in a meeting on
Wednesday, July 1.
Bethell will be working
alongside Satya Chandragiri,
who was elected as the board’s
Chairperson
during
the
meeting — both Bethell and
Chandragiri were elected to
the board in 2019.
Over the last couple weeks,
the school board has endured
immense
criticism
from
members of the community
for how they handled calls
to the district to remove
Student Resource Offi cers
from schools, and for not
being proactive when board
member, Paul Kyllo, held
up a cardboard mask of Cliff
Robinson, a former Portland
Trail Blazers player, during a
March 30 meeting — there
have been numerous calls for
Kyllo’s resignation.
Marty Heyen, the former
chair, has also been asked to
resign by a great number of
people after she was accused
on social media of having
ties to white supremacist
organizations. Fellow board
member Sheronne Blasi also
criticized Heyen two weeks
ago for what she called “a
repeated failure of leadership.”
After receiving four of the
seven votes for Vice Chair,
Bethell gave an emotional
speech to the board about the

Members of the Keizer City Council
unanimously approved changes to the city
charter at its July 6 meeting.
As a result of the vote, city staff will devel-
op a ballot measure
asking whether vot-
ers want to institute
the changes. The
council will vote at a
later date to put the
measure on the bal-
lot, but there do not
seem to be any hur-
dles in the way.
Members of a
task force, comprised
of residents and city leaders, scrutinized
the language of the charter during the past
six months with an eye toward removing a
section that marginalizes LGBTQ+ residents.
The removal of the offending section,
Section 44, is the major change recommended
by the task force, but its members also found
other ways to make the document more
inclusive, such as using less gendered language
throughout the document. There were also
numerous changes to the organization of
existing
language
to make it more
readable.
In
the
fi nal
portion of a public
hearing
at
the
council
meeting
Monday, Pat Fisher,
a member of the
task force, spoke in
favor of sending the
revisions to voters.
“The removal of Section 44 is long
overdue. I feel it for myself and friends and
family members that live or work in Keizer.

leadership and addressed the
need for overall improvement.
“This is an emotional time
for everyone in this room.
At least I hope it is. Because
this is a really important
decision for all the children
in this community, including
my own. So, I apologize in
advance for my emotions
because I never thought in
my life that I would live in
a community that is in such
disarray,” Bethell said as she
was tearing up.
“Diffi cult times and diffi cult
decisions need thoughtful,
refl ective leadership. Our

The Keizer City Council
approved its fi rst ordinance
pertaining to the COVID-19
pandemic at its meeting
Monday, July 6. The only
issue that created consterna-
tion was the
use of masks
during
city
meetings.
“The ques-
tion
before
the
council
is
whether
you want to
wear
masks
even with the
[physical] sep-
aration,” said
City Attorney
Shannon Johnson.
Since the council resumed
in-person meetings in June,
all the meeting participants
have maintained a six-foot
separation and not worn
masks during discussions.
“I am a big proponent of
wearing a mask, but if we’re
removing them once we are
sitting down and distanced,
I’m okay with that.”

Councilors approved the or-
dinance after removing that
provision.
“The way, I understand it
is that once you are station-
ary, masks may be removed,”
said Mayor Cathy Clark.
She
likened
city meetings
to a sit-down

where

tomers would

to
