4. Surplus PropertyREPORT TO: Mayor Pam Kennedy and Kalispell City Council
FROM: Michael Baker, Director, Parks & Recreation
SUBJECT: Surplus Property Sales
MEETING DATE: May 11, 2009
BACK GROUND: The City of Kalispell Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Master
Plan completed in November 2006 identified selling city -owned surplus properties as a
possible funding source for the Parks and Recreation department. Several existing sites
have limited or no recreational value, however draw on maintenance dollars and should
be sold as surplus property.
Selling of these properties would put them back on the tax roles, eliminate maintenance
costs and produce sale revenue.
These sites are as follows:
Eagles Park Hwy. 93 north — 90,000 square feet
City Owned Lot #296 Empire Loop — 3,892 square feet
City Owned Lot — Hawthorne Drive — 7440 square feet
RECOMMENDATION: In these economic times it's our recommendation to proceed
with the public sale of surplus property. Parks and Recreation would acquire current
appraisal values of the above listed properties and advertise for sale accordingly.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Cost of property appraisals and revenues generated from sales.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Council
Respectfully submitted,
