Subject: EXTERNAL SOLID WASTE ASSESSMENT ADJUSTMENT
Dear Council,
We understand that all residents of Kalispell need to contribute to the solid waste management plan. We found it
difficult to fully understand the plan as outlined in the letter to residents dated May 22, but assume that the assessments
in table 3 would apply to all residents regardless of which solid waste management plan the city adopts.
As retirees on a fixed income, we think the fair assessment is shown on Table 113: Alley collection should cost more
because the alleys are harder to collect due to space restrictions and obstacles left in the alleys. Roll -out service is quick
and easy — it should be at a lower cost for the residents who use it.
We hope the council will adopt the plan outlined in table 113 in which there are separate rates for alleys and roll -out
street collection.
