Dear Kalispell City Council Members,
My name is Heidi Roedel and my address is 1376 Shelter Ridge, Kalispell MT 59901.
1 live out of the city limits but the problem with the homeless still affects our family. My husband and I both work from
home and we work long hours. Often when we go to town to pick up our mail it is after 7:OOpm. We are greatly
disappointed when we cannot get our mail late at night like we use to before the homeless issue grew.
I am a graphic artist and I would like to recommend to my clients that they advertise their businesses at the bus
stops in Kalispell. My clients have told me they are afraid that their advertising will get vandalized and it would be a
waste of money. How sad for small businesses to be afraid to advertise their businesses in Kalispell.
I have notice signs in almost every business showing signs that they have had issues with the homeless.
A homeless man tried to burn our church down.
Please think about the taxpayer's rights to enjoy sidewalks, the public library and parks. Let's not encourage the
non -taxpayer to take from those that are working hard and paying for these items.
Thank you for revisiting this issue and looking out for the good of the community.
Sincerely,
Heidi Roedel
