Council presses staff on maintenance, staffing and operations at Keizer Event Center
Summary
Councilors questioned staffing levels, maintenance responsibility and long‑term operations after learning the event center is staffed in‑house and that building maintenance is split between the courts and the event‑center crew.
Councilors raised several operational concerns about the Keizer Event Center, including maintenance backlog, staffing levels and the division of responsibilities between buildingwide maintenance and the event‑center crew.
Councilor Kellner Roth noted visible repairs in the lobby and asked whether maintenance staffing is sufficient. Staff clarified that overall building maintenance (courts) and event‑center‑specific maintenance are handled separately; the event center has two full‑time employees and a dedicated full‑time maintenance person, John Holter. "We have John...he's full time and also does setup work," the event center manager said.
Councilors urged staff to prioritize a capital list and to identify options for grant funding to address needed repairs (chairs, flooring, AV equipment). Staff said the capital‑improvement list will be used to seek funds and that they will return with prioritized recommendations tied to a TOT investment strategy.
No formal actions were taken; the council requested an itemized maintenance and capital schedule with cost estimates for future consideration.
