BUDGET,
continued from Page A1
program is now ending,
which will again put offi cer
assignments in fl ux.
“At this exact moment,
we have 38 cops with offi cer
openings on the two night shifts,
a sergeant opening on a night
shift, and the SRO sergeant,”
said Teague after the meeting
on Tuesday, March 9. Additional
offi ce retirements expected
The fee itself is also
misleadingly low. Even as city
councilors approved it, the
specter of raising it was already
on the horizon. As part of this
year’s budget talks, city offi cials
will likely consider increasing it
to $6-per-month beginning in
July. The additional $2 would
continue paying for expected
costs such as health care and
retirement contributions.
“The question has become
whether it is worth it to people
that live in Keizer to pay a
nominal fee that increases by
about $1 a year,” said Keizer
Police Chief John Teague.
Residents can and should
ask questions about what they
are getting as a result of the fee,
Teague said.
Keizer residents can expect
at least one other increase in
what they pay for city services
this year. After foregoing an
increase in water rates last year,
a 4% increase is on the drawing
board for 2021-22.
“The reason we need to raise
rates and get back on track is that
the water system has continuing
costs that require reinvestment,”
Wood said. Keizer has the
second lowest water rates of any
sizable municipality between
Albany and Lake Oswego.
On the other hand, the city
plans to forego an increase in
stormwater rates again this year.
Keizer has the lowest stormwater
rate, $7.66 per month, of any
sizable municipality between
Albany and Lake Oswego.
There are a number of
reasons the city budget is
becoming further and further
constrained.
GROWTH
For the last several years the
property taxes collected by the
city increased by about 3% in
assessed value, and added an
additional 1% through growth.
As the city runs out of space
to grow, there are fewer new
properties contributing taxes.
The lack of growth will be
approximately a $60,000 hit
to the budget this year and is
unlikely to be restored anytime
soon.
HEALTH COSTS
Health insurance costs for
city employees are expected
to rise by 5.7 % this year. The
increase is about average for the
rate of increases over the past
decade.
PERS
Keizer employees are part of
three different classes of Public
Employee Retirement System
plans and the amount the city
contributes increases yearly.
PERS rates are expected to
increase by $26,168 for Tier
1/2 employees, $50,553 for the
police department offi cers and
$64,675 for newer employees.
The total increase will be north
of $141,000.
Additionally,
the
state
requires local governments to
pitch in additional payments as
investment losses are factored
into the city’s contributions.
Wood estimates that payment
will be $400,000 this year, half
of which comes from the city’s
general fund. The general fund
pays for most Keizer employees.
“Keizer is moving more
toward newer employees, but
the contribution rates will
continue to increase,” Wood
said.
Even though fewer city
employees are covered under
the gold standard that once
benefi ted public employees,
the costs of the new PERS
structure for Keizer could soon
equal what the city contributes
now, Wood said.
Civic Center clean-up
is Saturday morning
At least 100 volunteers are
needed to help clean up around
the Keizer Civic Center Satur-
day, March 13.
The clean-up is scheduled
from 9 a.m. to noon, but many
hands make light work and
could mean a quicker fi nish.
Pandemic-related safety proto-
Accident snarls Chemawa
cols will be in effect throughout
the effort.
Volunteers can simply show
up the day of the event and are
encouraged to bring wheelbar-
rows, plastic trash cans, rakes,
tarps, pruners, weed pullers and
other tools that might be useful.
Long pants, sturdy shoes,
gloves, hats and coats are en-
couraged.
The Keizer Community
Center is located at 930 Che-
mawa Road N.E. A collection
and disposal will be donated by
Loren’s Sanitation.
BOMB,
continued from Page A1
KEIZERTIMES/Eric A. Howald
On Friday, March 5,, just after 9 a.m., an offi cer on patrol discovered a two-vehicle crash in
the 100 block of Chemawa Rd N., that had just occurred. An investigation revealed a vehicle
left the parking lot of Cascade Farm and Outdoor to proceed east on Chemawa. That driver
failed to yield to an approaching westbound vehicle, causing the collision. The driver of the
vehicle at fault was cited for failing to yield and was treated by Keizer medics at the scene.
The other driver was transported to Salem Health. The extent of any injuries is unknown.
said Keizer police offi cials in a
press release.
The Salem Police Depart-
ment bomb squad responded
and determined that the bag
contained no explosives. As
a precaution, the Dollar Tree
and a neighboring business
were evacuated during the in-
vestigation. River Road was
closed between Chemawa
Road and Claggett Street for
about two and a half hours.
Todd Randall Schneider
was arrested for disorder-
ly conduct and six unrelated
warrants. He was taken to the
Marion County jail and bail
was set at $5,000.
