Keizer committee tentatively plans off-campus town hall; January meeting date to be confirmed with city

The Keizer Community University engagement committee tentatively scheduled its January meeting as an off-campus town hall at the Southeast Keizer Community Center and asked city staff and council liaisons to confirm whether the city can accommodate the move.

Committee members discussed available dates from the community center’s scheduling list; the transcript records committee members referring to January 6, 7, 22 and 29 as available options. Multiple members favored “the 20 second” date (referred to in the meeting transcript as “20 second”) and the group agreed to ask staff to confirm whether the January meeting could be held off campus. Committee member Tim asked city liaisons to take the request to council; staff said the center had asked for at least a two-month lead time to plan and that Wi‑Fi and liability waivers were available for events.

The committee clarified that, if the off-campus town hall proceeds in January, subsequent meetings would return to the committee’s usual schedule of first Thursdays of each month. Staff said they would notify the committee if the city could not make the off‑campus location work.

Committee members asked for outreach once the date is confirmed: social media posts, a Facebook event, a QR code linking to meeting information and printed notices. The committee also discussed using the off‑campus meeting as a town‑hall-style engagement event to recruit residents to future meetings.

No formal vote was recorded; the committee made a scheduling request and assigned action items to staff and council liaisons to confirm logistics and report back.
