Resolution 6130 - Approve BNSF (Wye Property) PurchaseRESOLUTION NO.6130
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ACQUISITION OF CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY
SITUATED IN FLATHEAD COUNTY FROM BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY AS SHOWN
ON ATTACHED EXHIBIT A WHICH SHALL BE SURVEYED PRIOR TO CLOSING.
WHEREAS, as part of the CORE Area Redevelopment, the City reviewed two segments of rail
owned by BNSF Railway Company (`BNSF"); and
WHEREAS, the first segment of rail was railbanked in accordance with the terms of the Surface
Transportation Board and has since become the Parkline Trail; and
WHEREAS, the second segment of rail lies on approximately 14.4 acres which spans from
Meridian Road to Fenn Way and south to Foys Lake Road. It was not acquired at
the same time as the first segment at the request of BNSF; and
WHEREAS, BNSF has now offered to sell the second segment to the City of Kalispell with an
acquisition price of $50,000; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the City to acquire the second segment as it could provide
future recreational and community development activities by allowing potential
extension of the Parkline Trail and the City would no longer pay for utility licenses
across the property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KALISPELL AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Manager is hereby authorized to execute all documents necessary
to effectuate the acquisition of certain real property situated in Flathead
County from BNSF Railway Company and as shown on attached Exhibit A
which shall be surveyed prior to closing.
PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AND SIGNED BY THE MAYOR OF
THE CITY OF KALISPELL, THIS 17TH DAY OF APRIL, 2023.
