Mayor Boharski called the special meeting to order at 12:10 p.m. Thelen said the special meeting was called for the Council to consider the City's Last, Best and Final Offer to the Kalispell Police Association. Neier explained a letter, with the City's Last, Best and Final Offer attached, was sent yesterday to Ben Hilley, the Attorney for the Kalispell Police Association. He said the letter served as notice of intent that the offer would be presented to the City Council today. Neier asked the Council to implement the offer and all tentative agreements already signed off on. Boharski said for clarification, the City has basically offered a 2.5 percent raise increase per year for the next three years and a forty hour work week with a schedule that is determined by the Chief of Police. Haarr moved the Council accept the proposed contact and move forward to implementation on March 21, 1999. The motion was seconded by Nystul. There was discussion. Nystul pointed out that between now and March 21st, there is nothing to preclude the City from reaching an agreement. The motion carried unanimously upon roll call vote.
