COMMITTEE REPORTS

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Councilman Saverud reported that the final audit report for the Community Development
office for the last two years has been completed and signed by the Mayor and submitted
to the HUD Regional Office and the present year is under the Department of Commerce.
Applications have been made for funds from the Jobs Bill and Block Grant and receipts
for both have been returned and they are in the hands of the Department of Commerce and
we are just waiting.
ORDINANCE #1032
Councilman Saverud moved second reading of Ordinance #1032 and ordinance to amend
Ordinance No. 933, (Kalispell Downtown Redevelopment Plan),to change the redevelopment
objectives and design concepts thereof to include mall -type, commercial and civic
development and other related uses on existing Burlington Northern Right -of -Way, within
Redevelopment Area between Third Avenue East and Fifth Avenue West and North of Center
Street, and further, to amend pertifient.maps accordingly, and to provide an effective
date.
Seconded by Councilman Grainger. Roll call vote. All voted aye.
SAFETY
Councilan Grainger moved that all liquor licenses for the fiscal year July 1, 1983
to June 30, 1984 as receipted in the office of the City Clerk be approved. Seconded
by Councilman Nystul. Motion carried.
At the request of Police Chief Stefanie, Councilman Grainger moved to confirm Roger
Phillips as a regular patrolman, having completed one satisfactory probationary year.
Seconded by Councilman Saverud. Motion carried.
Councilman Grainger reported a letter from Bill Smithers, District Manager for MPS,
which gives the following loss ratio of the Group for the past ten months and 33
months respectively:
Ten (10) Months
98.2%
Thirty three (33) Months
96.2%
Due to this experience and to the fact that certain mandated benefits (i.e. broader
payment for mental and nervous conditions and home health care) and the inflationary
trend in medical costs continue to drive up costs, they are requesting an approximate
15.8% increase in rate adjustments as follows:
Single $43.52
2 Party 90.90
Family 105.63
Over 65 22.18
2 over 65 44.36
Councilman Grainger added that they have asked other companies for proposals, but get
no response. Therefore, he feels that they cannot get a better rate and we should
plan on the 15.8% increase for August. The present plan is on a month to month basis.
The state legislature broadened coverage to include mental and nervous disease and
homehealth care and this definitely will increase our medical costs.
SEWER & WATER
Councilman Ruiz reported that the committee has not accepted the construction bid
for S.T.D. #336, as it is in excess of $4,500.00, amount of the S.T.D. The committee
will consult with the developer, Ken -Way, and either re --advertise or resolve it some
other way. He will report back at a later meeting.
RESOLUTION #_3470
Councilman Ruiz moved to adopt Resolution #3470, a resolution to amend Resolution #3396
which adopted Standards and General Provisions for Design and Construction for the City
of'Kalispell. Seconded by Councilman O'Boyle. Roll call vote. All voted aye.
RESOLUTION #3469
Councilman Ruiz moved to adopt Resolution #3469, a resolution to assume the respons=
ibility and assets of the Olsen Water System. Seconded by Councilman Nystul. Council-
man Ruiz reported that an informal public hearing was held. There was input from about
a dozen residents and other than the usual concern for increased costs, there were no
serious objections. There will be an agreement with Sunset Development Company that
they are responsible until the City has taken pressure tests. Rates have been the
same since 1960. Question called. Roll call vote. All voted aye.
BNRR EASEMENT
Councilman Ruiz moved that the city formally apply for an easement from BNRR for the
right to construct a city sanitary sewer line on their property. Seconded by Councilman
Vidal. Motion carried.
EPA GRANT (Step III)
Councilman Ruiz moved that the Council authorize Mayor.Mc Dowell to sign the EPA Grant
(Step III). Seconded by Councilman Nystul.
City Attorney Neier explained that the grant is for 2.1 million dollars. There are sev-
eral pages of conditions, prior to and after receiving_the grant. Some are technical,
some legal. The WWTP was built a few years ago and is involved in several lawsuits be-
cause a portion of:the plant does not function correctly. One condition is that we con-
tinue litigation until all claims are settled. A portion of any settlement shall be
refunded to EPA. Neier advised that the'agreement be signed and the City will get a
facility that should, be satisfactory for several years. EPA is a party to the litiga-
tion and will be looking over our shoulder. Under this grant we are replacing about
$800,000 of the failed portion. Neier has asked for expert counsel from EPA to aid in
the suit, but they are busy and have not promised they can help. They do have the ex-
pertise and will try to make it available. The alternative is to accept a 50/50 grant
and we are not financially prepared for this. EPA information is that we are getting the
last 75/25 grant in this region and probably in the U. S. Neier predicts that it will cost
in excess of $100,000 for legal fees. Again, Neier advised the Mayor and Council to sign'
and prepare to go to litigation. It will be handled by outside counsel and in-house.:
Neier is working on the insurance portion of the suit.
Question called. Motion carried.
FINANCE
Councilman Nystul, moved that all claims found to be in order be paid. Seconded by Council-
man Vidal. Motion carried.
Councilman Nystyl reported that the Mayor, Councilman Saverud, Finance Director and he
met with department heads on .Tune 29th on proposed budget.
Councilman Nystul reported thatithe timetable on our portion of the treatment plant grant
is critical. We need to sell about $750,000 of sewer revenue bonds on a 20 year issue.
Present interest rate is 10 1/2 to 10 3/4%.
EMPLOYMENT
Councilman Zauner reported there will be negotation meeting after the Council•.meeting.
ANNEXATION
ORDINANCE #1033
Councilman Palmer moved second reading. of Ordinance #1033, an ordinance to amend the.City
of Kalispell Zoning Ordinance and Zoning:Map, Ordinance No. 885,'as amended, to change

Roll call vote. All vuted aye.
Councilman Palmer reported a zone change request from doe Askelson for an area at Idaho
and Main. Request is to allow retail sale of motor vehicles as a permitted use in -the
CLM zone. The Zoning Commission has recommended that "In the interpretation of:.the per-
mitted uses, where a use is not specifically listed as permitted or a conditionally per-
mitted use, its status under this section shall, upon application, be determined by the
Zoning Commission by reference to that listed use, if any, which is so like the use in
question, purpose, function, character and effect as to.be substantially similar to said
listed uses". and,
"That subject to the above cited amendment, the Zoning Commission has determined that
"retail sale of motor vehicle" is an allowable use in the CLM (Industrial -commercial)
District, as this use is similar and compatable to other uses which are listed as
"permitted" in this district.
After discussion, Council agreed to publish notice for a public hearing on the request.
