BUSINESS
Budget 2021 — 2021 — The board reviewed the budget and determined that it did not need any
further changes. They requested a couple of changes to the budget letter. Under Development
Activity on the budget page it was preferred that the line item Development Activity/ Cleaning be
separated with Development Activity listed at $40,000 and a new line item Cleaning & maintenance
with the budget amount of $35,000. The 4t" line item under Projects for 2022 fiscal year was modified
to include the wording; in conjunction with MWED, City Planning and Kalispell Chamber of
Commerce. Kisa will rewrite the ending paragraph and forward to the board for approval and
inclusion in the submitted budget letter.
Board Appointments — Kisa Davison and Marshall Noice were re -appointed to the BID Board of
Directors. According to State statute a Chairman must be appointed each year by the BID Board.
Pam Mower made a motion to nominate Kisa Davison for a 2nd year as Chairman and the motion was
seconded by Jon Fetveit. The motion passed unanimously.
Kalispell Chamber Growth Summit — A reminder was given to the board about the Kalispell
Chamber of Commerce holding a Growth Summit at the Hilton Garden Inn. This summit will focus on
Downtown Development and will be held on May 18, 8:00 — 1:00 PM. The cost is $75.00 per person.
KAOS Update — A concrete contractor has been secured to move the trash can from the corner
where the new artistic bike rack will go. The contractor will also place the bolts in preparation for
delivery and installation the end of the month.
OLD Business: The walking tour passport has been held back until the first of July to allow for
photos to be taken after the delivery of flowers and planting of trees on Main Street. The board had a
conversation regarding the potential of printing the walking tours again but was reminded that they
had previously made a decision to go virtual and not in print. Kisa offered to have a discussion with
Lorraine Clarno at the Kalispell Chamber to talk about what we could provide to attract visitors
downtown.
Christmas Decorations — Cara Lemire has been working on this and will give a report next month.
New Business: Historic standards will need to be presented to the City Council. Pam Carbonari will
talk to Rachel and or Jarod to find out more about what has transpired with the Architectural

of the BID.
The board would like to talk about social media outreach and would like to discuss this at the next
meeting.
