SPECIAL TAX AGAINST PROPERTY FROM WHICH SUCH MATTER WAS

WHEREAS, Section 7-14-4105 MCA, gives a City Council power to provide for levying the cost
of removal of garbage or other offensive matter from streets, alleys, or any premises

all objections made to said estimate and to the basis of levy and assessment for
payment for said cost.

KALISPELL, MONTANA:
SECTION 1. The assessments for removal of garbage or other offensive matter for the
fiscal year 2024-2025 are hereby estimated to be $1,705,000 and the City

matter from the various lots and parcels of land within the city and benefited
by such removal is the amount as shown by the records maintained in City
Hall.

Exhibit 1 approved by Council through Resolution 6210B on July 1, 2024.
