North Village Sewer Agreement
The City Staff has for some time been involved in discussions
with representatives of the North Village Sewer District
regarding an agreement whereby the City would assume operation
and maintenance of the District's collection system. On November
25 the City attorney's office received a draft agreement from
Jeff Ellingson, Attorney, representing the District. Although
portions of the .agreement may be subject to discussion, the basic
document represents a proposal for council consideration. Mr.
Ellingson suggested it would be advantageous to the City and the
District to have a final agreement by mid -December. Williams
requested council read the agreement and consider it at the next
workshop on December 9, 1991. He felt there were a couple
provisions of the agreement that may need to be looked at
closer.
Buffalo Hill Golf Course Annual Fee Approval
Williams referred to a letter received from Club Manager Dick
Koch with the Board of Directors recommendation for a fee
increase for the daily green fees. The change would increase the
18 hole fee from $23.00 to $25.00 and the 9 hole fee from $9.00
to $12.00. The directors felt the necessity to increase the fees
to help offset the new expense related to the proposed expansion.
Williams recommended the increase.
After discussion Kennedy moved the City of Kalispell approve the
fees that are being increased and the annual season fees staying
the same for the Kalispell Golf Association as proposed. The
motion was seconded.
After more discussion the motion carried with Collins and Nystul
voting against.
