MEMORANDUM
REPORT TO: Doug Russell, City Manager
FROM: Aimee Brunckhorst, CMC, City Clerk & Communications Manager
MEETING DATE: December 2, 2019
RE: Public Hearing to Establish the Kalispell Tourism Business Improvement
District (TBID)
BACKGROUND: The Kalispell Tourism Improvement District will statutorily expire at the
end of this fiscal year pursuant to MCA V-12-1141. In anticipation of this expiration, owners of
many of the properties subject to and benefitted by the District directed their executive director to
circulate a petition to reestablish the District effective the next fiscal year. Owners of lodging
facilities representing 97.45% of the area within the proposed district responded by submitting
petitions to reestablish the tourism business improvement district.
To establish a district pursuant to MCA §7-12-1111(4), property owners of at least 60% of the
land area within the proposed boundaries must petition the City for the creation of the district. By
statutory definition, the specific noncontiguous boundaries of a hotel business improvement
district are all parcels, tracts, lots and blocks within the corporate limits of the City where a five
or more room hotel is located and that provide overnight stays as a lodging facility for transient
patrons as its business.
Resolution 5947, a statement of intent by the City Council to consider the petitions to reestablish
the tourism improvement district and call for a public hearing pursuant to the requirements of
MCA §7-12-1112 passed unanimously November 4, 2019. A notice of the hearing was published
and mailed to all lodging owners in the proposed district. The notice informed the hotel facility
owners that they may file a protest with the City against the formation of the district and that the
protest must be received within 15 days of the first publication and mailing per MCA § 7-12-
1113. As of November 26, 2019, no protests have been received.
During the December 2, 2019, council meeting the Mayor will open the public hearing and ask
for any public comment on the reestablishment of the Tourism Business Improvement District. A
resolution to re-establish is scheduled for Council consideration during the December 16, 2019
meeting.
RECOMMENDATION: Mayor Johnson open the public hearing and call for public comment
regarding the reestablishment of the Tourism Business Improvement District pursuant to the
terms of Title 7, Chapter 12, Part 11 of Montana Code Annotated.
