Dear Kalispell Mayor and City Council,
My name is David Marx and I live in Columbia Falls,
I urge the Kalispell City Council to maintain the Flathead Warming Center's Conditional Use Permit.
Instead of focusing on restrictive measures, the Council should leverage its political influence to
advocate for substantial changes at the state level. Pressuring the 2025 Legislature to improve
Medicaid, expand affordable housing, and enhance addiction services is essential.
The Council should also consider forming a county -wide coalition to address homelessness, working
collaboratively with the county and other municipalities to develop actionable strategies. These efforts
will help make the Flathead a safer, more affordable, and more livable place for all residents.
Thank you,
David Marx
