Truck purchase: The consent calendar included a resolution authorizing the city manager to purchase a 2025 Ford F‑550 truck for the public works department and to dispose of surplus property. The vehicle replacement was discussed earlier in public comment after a resident asked whether the budget document incorrectly listed a Ford F‑150; staff and council clarified the budgeted line item is for a Ford F‑550 with an estimated budgeted amount of roughly $110,000 in the water fund. The consent calendar was approved on a voice vote as read.

Meadows pump station degasser: Council adopted Resolution R2025 to exempt informal solicitation requirements and permit direct purchase of two degas (degasifier) separators for the Meadows pump station from Mazi Injector Company LLC. City staff explained the devices remove entrained air from the water — a nuisance rather than a health hazard — after the plant used air as an oxidant in filtration. Council confirmed the purchase was budgeted and approved the exemption (motion carried).

ProphecyGov software supplemental budget: The council approved a supplemental budget transferring $10,000 from the city attorney’s budget to the IT budget to purchase a one‑year trial of ProphecyGov (listed in the packet as ProphecyGov), a document‑search platform intended to let staff quickly search city records. City staff said the platform will be restricted to internal records and used to save staff time compiling history for reports and policy inquiries. Council approved the transfer and one‑year trial.

Votes at a glance:
- Consent calendar (including truck purchase): Motion to approve consent items a–d moved by Councilor Kohler, seconded; result: approved (motion passed).
- Resolution — Exempt informal solicitation to purchase degas separators from Mazi Injector Company LLC: Moved by Councilor Fuller; result: approved (voice vote; recorded as motion passes).
- Resolution — Supplemental budget for ProphecyGov software (transfer $10,000 from City Attorney to IT): Moved by Councilor Kohler; result: approved.

Ending: Staff will proceed with the vehicle purchase, order the degas separators for Meadows pump station, and implement a one‑year ProphecyGov trial to assess time savings before any longer-term commitment.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council 8/4/2025","oneSentenceSummary","On Aug. 4 the Keizer City Council approved multiple consent and administrative actions including the purchase of a 2025 Ford F‑550, a direct purchase exemption for two degas separators for the Meadows pump station, and a $10,000 supplemental budget transfer to buy ProphecyGov software.","taxTitle","Keizer, Marion County, Oregon","taxId",54436,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6483978,"Keizer council adopts ordinance allowing conditional auto‑oriented uses in Keizer Station Area B",1071,1789000,2860000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5529953-258fbed12e34415e2786fa6f48ae409b&start=1789&end=2860","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5529953-258fbed12e34415e2786fa6f48ae409b/thumbnail_1789000.jpg","/articles/6483978/Keizer/Marion-County/Oregon/Keizer-council-adopts-ordinance-allowing-conditional-autooriented-uses-in-Keizer-Station-Area-B","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6483978-cb2c790afd3f6f233b84ce49c71fcbea/orig.mp4?Expires=1771052058&Signature=RYkyWz3QHdBVYge0arjQ2T9OY8QrTMGdQPd8kfrSUnVEpxBcGtJzUUAaqebc95MaubzQHtoqq90kjK8ez0jbnJHpnFdixcobDk0qvc9ndfY5iETYZMLaenQ0WI341AafxydVVtuqyc1E2KmZIypEquE29OaKGluhCzLyonqyDS8475fXoWJYPjgrbMahCT3kT-JWtbz-xk~QK5ldTMf6qDv5VfBbN--yhA~g9fGeDbQuqfTWKZKtmHKLlQxhOFhKeFhYm-fGf6O~~vwHyWY09WWsuGv1m9NQUKdUO7r593txxZkwGjersCXlmxE7zjdOklHMVdj3e5Lgt4rrpCNlWw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Keizer City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2025 on Aug. 4 to amend Keizer Code Appendix A, sections 2.11.0.04 and 2.11.0.05, to allow specified auto‑oriented uses as conditional uses in Keizer Station area B.

Council reopened the legislative land-use hearing to accept additional testimony and neighborhood meeting summaries the council had requested after the June 16 and July 7 sessions. Planning staff and the city attorney summarized that the draft ordinance would permit a drive‑through window as a conditional use on the east side of Keizer Station Boulevard; the language in the packet matched the version previously provided to council on July 7.

No additional public testimony was offered during the reopened hearing. Staff noted neighborhood meeting recordings and written comments were added to the record. Councilors discussed the balance between encouraging a locally based economy and preserving transitions between retail/industrial zones and residential areas. Mayor Clark said the eastern portion’s change “makes sense since the transit and park and ride are vehicle oriented,” while the western portion should remain a transition to residential and mixed use.

Councilor Koehler moved adoption of the ordinance; the motion carried 7-0.

Ending: The ordinance amends Keizer Code Appendix A sections 2.11.0.04 and 2.11.0.05 to allow specified auto‑oriented uses in Keizer Station Area B as conditional uses; the council directed staff to follow usual ordinance adoption procedures.

The decision followed public comment from Shannon Moore, president of Keizer Little League, who asked the council not to issue an RFP immediately. Moore said league leaders met with staff and park partners in July and concluded that revising the existing management contract and giving local users a role in redrafting obligations would be preferable to a full procurement. “Rather than moving forward with a new RFP process, clarifying and adding additional detail and information to the existing contract has the potential to alleviate the majority of the concerns and frustrations that currently exist,” Moore said.

Councilors pressed staff for clarifications about risks and next steps. City Manager Adam Brown told the council that the current management company — identified in the staff packet as For Love of the Game — is under the fourth year of a 10‑year contract and would continue to operate if no acceptable proposals are received. Brown said staff had already edited the draft scope to reflect issues raised in the July user meeting and would return a final RFP reflecting council comments.

Council discussion focused on three themes: protecting weekday youth-league play for Keizer residents, ensuring proposers show they will work with user groups and the parks board, and preserving the council’s discretion to cancel or reject solicitations. Councilor Marlene Clark and others urged that the RFP require proposers to demonstrate experience working with public advisory boards and to include the parks board in development of the facility’s five‑year capital improvement plan. Councilors also directed staff to include the parks liaison (Councilor Parsons) in the RFP process details.

Councilors discussed potential downsides: Moore and others warned an outside operator unfamiliar with local leagues could reduce field availability or increase costs for Keizer families. Staff and several councilors said an RFP would nonetheless provide useful information about available management models and funding approaches and could surface creative options for concessions, fee structures, or volunteer involvement. Adam Brown noted the RFP is a solicitation only and that the city may cancel it if proposals are unsatisfactory.

The council asked staff to incorporate several specific clarifications into the draft scope of services: require regular youth-league play Monday–Friday for Keizer-based leagues (McNary Youth Baseball and Keizer Little League were cited as the primary users), expect concession managers to obtain appropriate county food permits and comply with health rules, allow proposers to propose varied fee models (including fee waivers) but leave final fees to council approval, and work with the parks board and user groups on a five-year park improvement plan.

After discussion, Councilor Kohler moved and the council approved the motion to proceed with the RFP as amended, with a recorded result of 7-0 in favor.

The council also heard that staff will continue to meet with the existing operator to seek contractual compliance on maintenance, field lining and raking, scheduling and communications, and fee/volunteer guidance.

Ending: Staff will finalize the RFP language reflecting the council’s edits, include a process section naming the parks liaison and representation from the parks board in the review framework, and publish the solicitation. The existing management contract remains in force while the solicitation proceeds.","Keizer City Council voted 7-0 to allow staff to issue a request for proposals (RFP) for management of the Keizer Little League complex after users asked the council to prioritize contract clarifications and local involvement over a wholesale change of operator.","actionData","errors"]
