“We want to understand
what's in the parks right now,
how it's used and how it's
managed now and into the fu-
ture,” said Mendoza.
Because of COVID-related
precautions, the city is hoping
to cull community input from
an online survey. In addition,
MIG will assemble at least
three groups of stakeholders
to provide input.
“One of those will be fo-
cused on youth sports, anoth-
er on youth and family,” said
Mendoza. “The primary thing
we want from the members of
the groups is some sort of re-
lationship to the parks.”
Mendoza didn't provide
any direction for the third
group.
Keizer parks already benefi t
from a strong identity within
the community, Mendoza said,
pointing to a unifi ed look of
park entry signs and elements
such as historical markers.
“Priorities going forward
will emerge from the ques-
tions asked on the survey,” she
said.
One of the biggest chang-
es to the new plan will be
the inclusion of Keizer Little
League (KLL) Park within the
master plan. To date, KLL Park
had been viewed as a separate
entity under the management
of a youth league also tasked
with upkeep.
City leaders hope inclusion
in the parks plan will lead to
greater access of public funds
for improvement projects at
the park.

By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
Even before it got off the ground, the plans for
updating the city’s parks master plan came under
fi re from residents.
Residents took aim primarily at the scaled
back level of community participation, but even
the phrasing of an online survey came under at-
tack at a meeting of the Keizer Parks Advisory
Board Tuesday, Dec 8.
Carol Doerfl er requested that the study be
delayed or postponed until in-person meetings
could be held for providing input.
“The pandemic will have an impact on the
community’s ability to provide input and it’s the
same people providing the fee that make (im-
provements) possible,” Doerfl er said.
If inadequate participation becomes an issue
the coordinators of the study will look at extend-
ing the deadlines, replied Keizer Public Works
Director Bill Lawyer, who will help oversee the
process with Keizer Parks Supervisor Robert
Johnson.
The city has hired consultants from Port-
land-based MIG to assist in the process.
Carolyn Holman said the questions contained
in an online survey were too skewed to represent
the full number of possibilities when it comes to
recreating in Keizer parks.
“In the questions, there seems to be a division
The study will look at how
emerging trends, such a pickle
ball, would fi t into the city's
park and how Keizer can pro-
vide spaces for courts.
Because the project is pri-
marily an update, the focus is
on neighborhood parks, their
needs, and what a recreation
program might entail.
between beauty and nature, and some of that de-
pends on an interpretation, but I fi nd the beauty
in natural spaces,” Holman said.
Later in the evening a representative from
MIG, Cindy Mendoza, MIG’s Director of Parks
and Recreation, said the goal of the survey is to
get at least 400 respondents from the community
to ensure a representative group. The survey re-
garding Keizer parks had more than 240 in the
fi rst week.
Holman and her husband, Tom encouraged
the city to rethink the questions to allow for a
greater variety of recreational possibilities.
Tom suggested installing public art walls with-
in parks and inviting members of the community
to use them as canvases.
“I think you could leave it up to the people
involved as to how to run the programs, but there
would have to be some ground rules and the par-
ticipants taking part in the upkeep,” Tom said.
Committee member Dylan Juran endorsed
the idea of a more expansive interpretation of
recreation.
“I don’t think it was that long ago that having
a dog park or skate park would have been an out-
rageous idea. In that regard, I don’t think (an art
wall is) an outrageous idea.”

ly/KeizerParks. Survey participants are automati-
cally entered to win a $50 gift card.
“Budget has always been
a struggle, but our list of de-
ferred maintenance is getting
shorter,” said Matt Lawyer, a
member of the parks commit-
tee. “The thing I don't want
to lose is the volunteer en-
gagement. We haven't lost it so
far, but community buy-in is
something important.”
Committee member Tanya
Hamilton said she would be
happy to facilitate discussions
involving school families and
their students.
“If there is anything else
our committee can do, we are
happy to support this project,”
Hamilton said.
“I voted against that because
I thought it wasn’t thoughtful
enough. It wasn’t targeted or
they weren't really listening to
what was going on in the com-
munity,” Schrader said.
He and members of the
Problem Solvers Caucus, a
group of bipartisan representa-
tives, proposed a different pack-
age totaling about $1.5 trillion.
“That's about half of what
the U.S. spends in one year on
all defense and non-defense
programs,” Schrader said.
Leadership in the Senate
and House of Representatives
are now in negotiations over
a further reduced $908 billion
package.
The congressman, who rep-
resents Oregon’s 5th district
that includes Keizer, said he is
also opposed to adding more
than $300 in federal unem-
ployment support.
“Six hundred dollars a week
was way above what a lot of
folks are actually earning. It
was a disincentive to go back
to work. We're trying to fi nd
a sweet spot,” Schrader said.
“If you're in a tough situation
like this, everyone has to cut
back and manage things a little
better. But they shouldn't do it
without a little bit of help from
the state or the federal govern-
ment.”
Earlier this year, a study by
Yale University found that
workers who received the un-
employment subsidy, even if
it resulted in a boosted take-
home pay, returned to work at
a similar rate to those who had
smaller increases in take-home
pay. The study concluded that
the extra money kept the na-
tion from falling further into
economic ruin.
If the new stimulus pack-
age does pass, Schrader said the
process for applying for and
having business loans forgiven
would be streamlined com-
pared to previous programs.
“We heard from a lot of the
banks and the small businesses
that it just wasn't worth the
hassle,” he said. “The new funds
could also be used for a variety
of things that were not origi-
nally anticipated.”
He did not know whether
newer businesses that were left
out of the last major stimulus
package would be eligible for
the next round.
Protecting business own-
ers from liability regarding
COVID infection is also a high
priority, he added.
In addition, the new pack-
age may provide about $45
support to public and private
transportation entities that have
struggled to maintain ridership
through the pandemic.
“We want to get help to our
transit partners – buses, trains
and, frankly, airports (and air-
lines). They're fl ying at reduced
capacity and burn a lot of jet
fuel with a very decreased cus-
tomer base. That's not a pattern
for success, so we’re trying to
get them through this tough
time also,” Schrader said.
