A RESOLUTION TO LEVY THE COST OF REMOVAL OF GARBAGE OR OTHER
OFFENSIVE MATTER FROM STREETS, ALLEYS OR ON ANY PREMISES AS A
SPECIAL TAX AGAINST PROPERTY FROM WHICH SUCH MATTER WAS
DEPOSITED, AND THE DISPOSITION THEREOF.
WHEREAS, Section 7-14-4105 MCA, gives a City Council power to provide for levying the cost
of removal of garbage or other offensive matter from streets, alleys, or any premises
as a special tax against that property from which the same was deposited, the City
Council deems such a method more equitable and just than paying for such removal
from the General Fund of the City; and

the City Council did consider all objections made to said estimate and to the basis of
levy and assessment for payment for said cost.

KALISPELL, MONTANA:
SECTION 1. The assessments for removal of garbage or other offensive matter for the
fiscal year 2023-2024 are hereby estimated to be $1,340,000.00 and the City
