Hello . .
I am writing to share an important update that may be of significant interest to you and your fellow council
members regarding municipal IMPACT FEES. Please know we are not soliciting but are simply providing
important information to city officials in Montana. Specifically;
Recently, the City of Whitefish, Montana, settled a class action lawsuit involving substantial overcharges on
impact fees -and probably will be sued again!! The settlement, which amounted to $1.4 million, highlights
serious issues with how impact fees have been calculated and managed. I hope this City is not vulnerable to
such class action lawsuits!
I encourage you to watch the video shown below and consider how these issues might impact your city. If you
have any questions, please contact us at:

Thank you for your time.
Best regards,
Jerry
