Dear Kalispell City Council,
Once again I urge you to vote AGAINST any utility rate increase as long as this burden is placed
on current residential customers. I strongly object the 50% decrease in impact fees while
increasing residential rates . This is unfair and will only cause hardship on current residents
especially in these trying times.
I have sent written comment and attended your workshop session and still oppose this rate
increase as proposed.
I pay sewer, water and garbage for my own home and rental property at 1130 1st Ave W and
will have to raise my rental rate if this goes through. How does that help with " affordable
housing?"
I also find it curious that this vote was buried under the " State of Emergency" proposal being
considered tonight.. I oppose this as well.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment
