Residents ask committee to help promote neighborhood story walks and connect with local associations
Summary
Neighborhood association leaders asked the committee to help distribute flyers, translate materials and attend community events; committee members reviewed how to find neighborhood-association information on the city website and volunteered for proclamation-month presentations.
Residents and neighborhood-association representatives asked the committee to help promote local outreach efforts, including summer story walks and neighborhood meetings.
Tammy (identified as Tammy Goons), president of the Greater Northeast Keizer Neighborhood Association, asked committee members to distribute flyers and to help translate story-walk content into Spanish. She said the association plans monthly story walks in neighborhood parks (tentatively at Claggett Creek Park and a park outside City Hall) and asked for staff help circulating final dates and translation needs.
Jacqueline “Jackie” Green, representing a neighborhood organization in the greater northeast area, asked committee members to attend neighborhood association meetings and help promote community events via flyers, email and social media. Committee members discussed logistics for community presentations tied to council proclamations and volunteers stepped forward to coordinate specific month observances (for example: Pride Month, National Hispanic Heritage Month and Black History Month assignments were discussed and volunteers recorded).
City staff pointed committee members to a neighborhood-association map on the City of Keizer website that allows residents to enter their address and identify their neighborhood association. Staff also confirmed that most neighborhood-association meetings are in person and that the Greater Northeast Keizer association meets by Zoom.
No formal council action was taken on these public-comment requests; staff and committee members agreed to share contact details and work together on translating and promoting the planned events.
