which if not funded in this manner
would have to be funded. over a 5 year
period.
Funding the reserve account "up -front" as would be the case,o£ the.$875,000
Issue could save as much as 1/2 % in the annual interest rate.
This.up-front reserve fund would be immediately invested In Government Bonds
which now .are yielding about 11% on a 20 year maturity.
Using -this .consideration the -fund would benefit by the saving on the annual
interest rate on the entire issue, as well as have a small gain in the
differenti.al-in the interest paid and interest received.
Question called. Motion carried.
Councilman Nystul reported some noticeable discrepancies when comparing 1982 taxable
valuation with 1983 as received froia Assessor Long. He will check this.
.Councilman Nystul reported that he interprets the state'Itatute on the additional
.gas tax money we will receive that it is the intent of the. -legislature that most of
this is to be contracted out.
EMPLOYMENT
Councilman Zauner reported that there will be a session after this meeting on labor
negotiations. The police have rejected an offer of 8% increase and will go to medi-
ation on July 26th.
ANNEXATION
Councilman Palmer explained the request of Ron Pack to amend the City -County Land Use
Plan as follows: a) that area located Southeast of the intersection of Highway #93
And Reserve Drive, containing approximately 50 acres, be designated as "Industria.l"
and b) a small portion of the area immediately adjacent -to the intersection of Highway
#93 and Reserve Drive be designated as "Commercial".
The request has been approved by the FRDO and Resolution No. 482 A, approving the
amendment, has been passed by the County Commissioners.
The area has been owned bj Mr,. Pack for about 10 years and is a -gravel pit, ready -mix
plant and office. Presently it is designated as agricultural, but will never be used
as such because of the -gravel. Mr. Pack does not like the non -conforming use he
_operates under, because if anything happens to his buildings -he may not be able to
obtain a building permit to rebuild and would like to have it changed to a conforming
The small portion in the corner would be suitable for a small store to accomodate the
large apartment complex across the highway.
Mr. Verna, MO,Director, explained that no written protests were received, that there
is considerable residential development in the area and the commercial corner lends
itself to this development. The large area appears to be an industrial area that has
.''been in existence'for more than 40 years.
94.
Reserve ➢rive has been designated a State Secondary Road #548 and two new bridges
are being built and every corner at the intersection has a commercial designation
except this one.
Councilman Saverud asked what would happen if some undesirable commercial use wished
to use the area: could we refuse? The answer was we could if not compatible. Unless
Mr. Pack petitions the County to zone, this is just a land use change.
Councilman Vidal -stated that we should consider not only the present, but future use.
It seems there really is not a conflict with the present use. She would hate to see
area to the north designated commercial, and does not: think it for the best long term
interest.
Mr. Pack stated that the price of the land will dictate development - there will be
no junk business. Councilman Palmer stated that this is his only concern, the
quality of commercial.
Councilman O'Boyle stated that this corner used to be a deep hole, useless and a
hazard when it rained. It is now filled, Highway #548 will be curbed and it is a
great improvement to the area.
RESOLUTION #3472
Councilman Palmer monied to adopt Resolution #3472, a resolution to amend the Kalispell
Land Use Plan to include Industrial and Commercial to a certain area located at the
intersection of Highway #93 North and -Highway #548. Seconded by Councilman Zauner.
Councilman Ruiz spoke in favor of the motion mainly because there has been no public
opposition.
Question called. Councilmen Grainger, Ruiz, Nystul, Zauner, Palmer and O'Boyle voted
aye. Councilmen Vidal and Saverud v,:oted nay. Resolution adopted.
STREET & ALLEY
Councilman O'Boyle reported that the Street & Alley Committee met, and with power to
act, awarded the gravel bid to McElroy & Wilken.
Councilman O'Boyle announced that the Street & Alley Committee are recommending re-
sianing at 4th Ave...E..N.. & Idaho to:riatch'3rd Avenue=E.N. & Idaho as far as -left turn
and straight through traffic is concerned. The crosswalk from the B&B to the Shopping
Center will be repainted. Center and 1st Avenue West right turn lane will be marked
with an arrow. Fifth Avenue West and Center going south will have a right turn lane.
Councilman O'Boyle moved that the above changes be authorized by the Council.
Seconded by Councilman Nystul. Motion carried.
PARKS
Councilman Vidal stated that the Parks Committee met, discussed all possible options
for repairing the swim pool and building anew bath house, approached the County for
assistance and were turned down and their recommendation is that a General Obligation
Revenue Bond be placed on the ballot this fall. There is a 90 day prior notice period
for placing an issue on the ballot. ➢eadline is August 2nd.
RESOLUTION #3473
Coucnilman Vidal moved to place a $550,000 General Obligation Revenue Bond issue on
the ballot for the November 8th General City Election. Seconded by Councilman Nystul.
A General Obligation bond requires a 40% turnout of registered voters.
A representative of the BOR informed the Parks Committee and Superintendent ➢rent that
there is no limit on grants this year. There is a possibility that we could get a grant
if we can ensure our half forkthe pool.
Council agreed that we shall budget for a blueprint and printing of a plan so that we
can submit an application to BOR, deadline November lst. If the bond fails to pass,
the application would be null and void.
