City Council
I'm a business owner and a Flathead Valley resident for now 40 years. The homeless issue is out of hand and
decaying our community. Myself and my family have chosen not to use and enjoy the trail systems we pay
taxes on and support because of the public health issues and threats to our safety. The warming center was
put in place with a conditional use permit to help our local homeless folks. It has gone way beyond that. It
should be pulled and re evaluated. It is not good for our community as much as you are being led to believe it
is. People are choosing to not enjoy our city and all it did have to offer at one time before the homeless
population grew. This has created a way of life for these folks that is not helping them. As a business owner
and a tax payer I demand that this be corrected in such a way that our local community can feel safe again in
there own town and enjoy it.
