The Keizer City Council convened on December 9, 2024, for a work session aimed at reviewing the council's goals as they approach the end of the current biennium. Mayor Clark opened the meeting by welcoming Councilor Elect Marlene Parsons, who will soon join the council. This session serves as a crucial handoff, allowing incoming members to familiarize themselves with ongoing projects and discussions.

During the meeting, the council reviewed the goals set nearly two years ago, preparing for the upcoming goal-setting process scheduled for January 2025. This practice is part of the council's established rules and procedures, ensuring continuity and effective governance as new members transition into their roles.

The discussions highlighted the importance of collaboration and knowledge transfer within the council, emphasizing how these efforts will impact the community moving forward. As the council gears up for the next biennium, residents can expect a focus on addressing community needs and enhancing local services.

This work session not only marks a significant step in the council's planning process but also reflects the commitment to transparency and community engagement as Keizer prepares for its future.
