HOWALD Of the Keizertimes After presenting the fi ndings of a parks survey to members of the Parks Advisory Board on Thursday, Feb. 25, members of the committees offered their own feedback. (Keizertimes covered the re- sults of the survey in its March 3 edition, it can be found at keizertimes.com) The survey and assessment of Keizer’s parks facilities found a defi cit of usable park space in sizable swaths of the city. Some of those areas have a park, such as Palma Ceia and Northridge parks, but the parks themselves do not lend themselves to rec- reational activities other than being outdoors. It led members of the com- mittee to ask whether it would be more fruitful for the city to remove the park designation and pursue other interests on the sites. “It seems like we’re using those parks to infl ate our over- all acreage number of what we call a park. Should we convert those into more usable space, and would it save us any mon- ey,” asked Dylan Juran, a mem- ber of the parks advisory board. Keizer Parks Supervi- sor Robert Johnson replied that changing the designation wouldn’t have a noticeable im- pact on the city’s fi nances. “The properties still have to be maintained at some level,” Johnson said. Matt Lawyer, another mem- ber of the committee suggested there were still improvements that could be made to the parks that would enhance their value. “If we put a couple of benches in those parks and made it more aesthetically The two best words to hear… YOU’RE HIRED NOW HIRING — Bookkeeper (Keizer) “It seems like we’re using those parks to infl ate our overall acreage number of what we call a park.” — Dylan Juran pleasing, there would be more ways to utilize them as parks,” Lawyer said. Committee member David Louden said the city would have to be cautious if it tried to reclassify a park. “Parks were put where de- velopers couldn’t build, which is why we have a lot of parks that are pretty useless. But, those spaces need to remain parks be- cause they are part of the city’s collection of system develop- ment charges (SDCs),” Louden said. SDCs are payments to the city that assist with infrastruc- ture installation and continued maintenance. Cindy Mendoza, a spokes- person for Portland-based MIG, the fi rm consulting on the project, noted that SDCs would likely need to be increased to support booming improvement within Keizer parks. Among the improvements desired in the survey were more trails connecting neigh- borhoods to parks and parks themselves. Mendoza noted that even trails within a single park are often lacking. “Most [existing] paths don’t The Keizertmes is hiring for a bookkeeper.

Paths connecting parks, and one long-simmering project in particular, got the support of committee member Tanya Hamilton. She endorsed the idea of a horizontal park that travels along Claggett Creek and could eventually be con- nected to the Kroc Center in Salem. “I think that we’re going to be wearing masks and doing a lot of outdoor activities. Con- nectivity should be a priority. I really love the idea of it con- necting to the Kroc center. It’s a safe way for kids to go back and forth,” Hamilton said. Doing so would require the collaboration of multiple pri- vate property owners, the city and numerous other regional and state authorities. It might even trigger federal environ- mental agencies. Lawyer called it a “cross jurisdictional night- mare,” but still supports the idea if it ever becomes feasible. SRO, continued from Page A1 decision doesn’t mean that there won’t be future contracts with local law enforcement agencies. The way the district will handle school safety and discipline is still yet to be determined. However, law enforcement will be brought in to handle specifi c cases. “This doesn’t mean that we will not have any formal relationship or a contract with law enforcement moving forward. I do believe that a healthy and safe school system requires relationships with law enforcement particularly to support child abuse investigations, threat assessments, emergency response, and other key functions as long as that relationship with law enforcement is balanced with creating schools where all students feel safe and have a strong sense of belonging,” Perry said. public notices STOR AGE AUCTION NOTICE OF SELF STORAGE SALE Please take notice IN Self Storage - Salem West located at 2401 Salem Dallas Hwy NW, Salem, OR 97304 intends to hold a sale to sell the property stored at the Facility by the below list of Occupant who is in default at an Auction.
