in Marion County – a sign of serious
infection – have not increased and
remain below the peak in April. Still,
COVID-19 cases in Oregon rose by
more than 300 in fi ve of the past 10
days, peaking as 409 new cases on July
11.
While Keizer does not have an
identifi ed outbreak of coronavirus,
the Oregon State Penitentiary,
Santiam Correctional Institution,
Salem Hospital, NorPac, Brucepac,
and the Salem Amazon facility, all
in neighboring zip codes, have had
reported outbreaks.
It is possible that Keizer’s surge
in cases could be linked to those
outbreaks and employees that live here,
but those details are not part of OHA’s
reporting.

Debrief
expected
on city
hack
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
In early June, the city of
Keizer’s computers were
hacked and the data therein
held hostage until a ransom
was paid.
Even as city offi cials
announced
what
had
happened, details of what
happened and how have been
scant. Keizer Finance Director
Tim Wood plans to debrief
the council Monday, July
20, on with more details on
what happened and what the
recovery process has entailed.
The city paid a $48,000
ransom to retrieve access to its
data, an expense that the Keizer
city council will eventually
need to ratify, but there are
likely already additional costs
the city has incurred as a result
of the digital strike.
Early last week, Wood
said the city staff are still
monitoring the network
and computers for lingering
signs of viruses, continuing
to rebuild and repair servers
where the data was located,
rebuilding some computers
that were partially or fully
encrypted in the attack, testing
the stability of software the
city uses and working with an
outside consultant “to identify
and implement ways to

City looks back on
lessons learned, so far
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
In 2019, the Keizer
City Council reviewed its
emergency preparation plans;
“pandemic” wasn’t a word
that came up during the
discussions.
Given that councilors
and city staff were caught
as off guard as the general
population,
the
council
convened a work session
Monday, July 13, to talk about
the lessons learned so far.
“Rather than wait for the
fall, I wanted to take advantage
and look at where we are
midstream. I want to look at
where we’ve capitalized on
strengths and had weaknesses
exposed,” said Mayor Cathy
Clark.
Each department director
offered input on how the
pandemic affected their work
and the work of city staff.

Although it will look
drastically different from
years past, McNary High
School will be hosting a
multitude
of
in-person
graduation ceremonies on
Friday, August 7.
Each ceremony will be
held at the McNary football
fi eld.
Because
of
Marion
County’s
phase
two
restrictions on outdoor
public
gatherings, each
ceremony will feature a
maximum of 45 graduates.
Each student can invite up to
four people to the ceremony.
All
attendees
are
encouraged
to
socially
distance and wear masks.
Each ceremony is scheduled
to be between 35-45 minutes
long and deep cleaning of
surfaces is scheduled in-
between each gathering.
“The most important
things are safety, and making
sure we can give our kids this
moment,” McNary assistant
principal Dan Borresen said.
