DOUG KITZMILLER IS OUR SWCNA LIAISON POLICE OFFICER

The Canby Police Department is dedicated to being responsive to the needs of the community in the delivery of exceptional police services. The focus upon community revitalization gives the police department and each neighborhood an opportunity to develop a problem solving partnership that emphasizes positive improvement within the neighborhood.

In order to facilitate this arrangement, the Canby Police Department is assigning each geographic area of Canby a Community Liaison Officer. The officer will attend neighborhood functions and serve as a contact for the neighborhood and its residents. The officer will also coordinate the use of police resources within the neighborhood to address chronic problems.

The Community Liaison Officer does not replace the regular police response to crimes and incidents that require immediate response. Rather, the Community Liaison Officer is a resource for problems that may be chronic or pervasive within a neighborhood. Examples of this would be speeding traffic or structures being used for illegal activities. In instances where residents are unsure of what can be done, the Community Liaison Officer can provide guidance and problem solving ideas.

Community Liaison Officers work patrol shifts and may not work every day, but they can be contacted by calling or emailing the police department. Our liaison officer is Doug Kitzmiller. He can be reached by calling 503 266 4024 X260 or by email at KitzmillerD@ci.canby.or.us

"Fir Village" Neighborhood Meeting Notes, 6/10/08
Pat Sisul, Nick Netter, plus 13 others attended the meeting
In 2004 the homes in Sequoia Place were contructed by Tom Scott
The annexation of the Fir Village parcel was approved by voters in Apr 2007
Nick Netter will be submitting plans to the Planning Commission within 1-2 mos
The Planning Commission will deal with this in about Aug 2008
Name "Fir Village" was selected since only 10 "Fir" names are allowed per county
Fir Village is zoned R1.5, meaning lots must be between 5,000 and 6,500 sq ft
Nick indicated that homes would vary in size from about 1,400 to 1,800 sq ft
Estimated prices will probably range from $300,000 to $350,000
Rock & brick will be used on house fronts, both single & double garages
Nick said he'd build 2 homes at a time depending on the economic conditions
However once started the subdivision must be completed within 2 yrs
An arborvitae hedge was suggested between Fir Village & Sequoia Place
Concerns were indicated regarding the width of Fir St, it will be 36'
It was suggested that perhaps a traffic calming device be placed at 13th & Fir
When this project comes before the Planning Commission SWCNA members may wish to attend and participate.
