A RESOLUTION ADOPTING AN INCREASE TO THE ASSESSMENTS ON REAL
PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY OF KALISPELL FOR THE COSTS OF STORM SEWER
MAINTENANCE AND LEVYING ASSESSMENTS FOR THE COSTS FOR THE FISCAL
YEAR 2017-2018.
WHEREAS, the City of Kalispell, pursuant to the authority provided to it under MCA 7-124102
et seq., has established a storm sewer system, for which real property within the city
is assessed costs for the maintenance and operation; and
WHEREAS, all city residents derive significant benefit from storm sewer maintenance and the
City Council therefore considers it prudent, within the existing statutory system, that
all property owners should pay some assessment for the benefits of the storm sewer
system; and
WHEREAS, it is prudent and necessary for the City Council, from time to time, to evaluate the
existing assessment structure, to review the maintenance requirements of the storm
water system and the adequacy and equity of the assessment schedule; and

regulatory requirements of the State of Montana have increased dramatically in recent
years which have increased the costs to the City of maintaining compliant storm
water infrastructure; and

payment for said cost.
