Flathead Warming Center Public Comment form David MarxAimee Brunckhorst From: David Marx <david@davidmarx.com> Sent: Sunday, July 14, 2024 2:26 PM To: Kalispell Meetings Public Comment Subject: EXTERNAL Flathead Warming Center 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 406-356-6279
