MEMORANDUM
REPORT TO: Doug Russell, City Manager
FROM: Aimee Brunckhorst, CMC, City Clerk & Communications Manager
MEETING DATE: December 16, 2019
RE: Re-establishment and Regulations for the Kalispell Tourism Business
Improvement District (TBID)
BACKGROUND: The Kalispell Tourism Improvement District will statutorily expire at the
end of this fiscal year June 30, 2020, 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 December 11, 2019, no protests have been received.
During the December 2, 2019, council meeting the Mayor opened the public hearing on the
reestablishment of the Tourism Business Improvement District. One person provided public
comment in favor of the re-establishment of the TBID. A resolution to establish the TBID for
another ten year period beginning July 1, 2020 is now before Council for their consideration. If
passed this will be followed by the first reading of an Ordinance establishing the regulations of
the District. The regulations have not been significantly revised from those guiding the original
TBID.
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to approve Resolution 5954, a resolution creating a Tourism
Business Improvement District pursuant to the terms of Title 7, Chapter 12, Part I I of Montana
Code Annotated.
AND IF Resolution 5954 passes:
Motion to approve the first reading of Ordinance 1833, an ordinance establishing the regulations
of the Kalispell Tourism Business Improvement District, authorizing the City Attorney to codify
this Ordinance and declaring an effective date.

safety, prosperity, security and general welfare of the inhabitants of the City of
Kalispell and the proposed district, and appears to be of special benefit to the property

WHEREAS, on November 4, 2019 the Kalispell City Council issued Resolution 5947 declaring its
intent to create a business improvement district for the City of Kalispell, Montana, to
fix a date of a public hearing for December 2, 2019, and to provide for publication of
notice of said hearing; and
WHEREAS, the City Clerk caused proper notice of passage of the resolution to be published as
provided in MCA 7-1-2121 and by mailing a copy of the notice to every owner of real
property within the proposed district listed on the last completed assessment roll for
state, county, and school district taxes, at the owner's last -known address, on the same
day the notice was first published or posted; and
