Company Profile
City of Keizer
Company Overview
The City of Keizer is located in the beautiful Willamette Valley with Oregon’s largest city, Portland, to the north, and the state capitol, Salem, bordering Keizer to the south. Oregon coastline and mountains are located just west and east of Keizer within a one-hour drive.
Our weather is moderate throughout the year with summer temperatures in the 70’s and 80’s. Keizer’s population is 39,249 and is the 16th largest city in Oregon. In spite of its growth since the 1990’s, Keizer continues to preserve its small-town pride by supporting many volunteer organizations and community-wide events. Some notable events include the KeizerFEST and parade, the Miracle of Lights lighting display, the Holiday Lights parade, concerts in the parks, and the Keizer Art Walk.
Company History
Since incorporating in 1982, the City of Keizer has embraced the philosophy of keeping costs and services to
a minimum by providing City services to the community in a coordinated, efficient, and least cost fashion. This philosophy has enabled the City to continue to provide basic services, such as public safety and community development, while maintaining the City’s infrastructure (parks, streets, water, and storm water) when other cities have been forced to make drastic cuts in response to challenging economic environments.
Keizer is governed by a volunteer council made up of a mayor and six city councilors. The mayor’s term runs two years and the councilors serve four-year staggered terms. Appointed by the City Council, the City Manager is the administrative leader of the City of Keizer. With a small but talented team of 103 employees, the seven members of the City’s Executive Leadership Team – Assistant City Manager/Finance Director, City Attorney, Chief of Police, Public Works Director, Human Resources Director, Planning Director and City Recorder – ensure the City Manager and City Council are successful in providing services to the community to ensure Keizer is a great place to live, work and play.
