A RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION NOS. 5744 AND 5745 TO ADJUST THE
POLICE AND FIRE IMPACT FEE SCHEDULES PURSUANT TO THE
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE IMPACT FEE COMMITTEE AND SENATE BILL 133.
WHEREAS, the City Council passed Ordinance 1587 on October 16, 2006, which authorized the
imposition of impact fees for police and fire services; and
WHEREAS, subsequent to the passage of Ordinance 1587 the city established impact fees for
police and fire services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council passed Resolutions 5441 and 5442 on August 2, 2010, and
Resolutions 5744 and 5745 on December 7, 2015, adjusting the police and fire
services impact fees; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to MCA 7-6-1602 the Impact Fee Advisory Committee analyzed the police
and fire services impact fees, collaborated with city staff in developing the City of
Kalispell Final Reports of Impact Fees for the Police Department and the Fire
Department, dated March 2025, and is now recommending accordingly that the
currently established impact fees be adjusted to more accurately reflect the current
costs of local construction as set forth in the report, as well as implementing those
changes provided by SB 133; and
WHEREAS, Exhibit A attached hereto sets forth the fee schedules that have been recommended
by the Kalispell Impact Fee Committee for both police and fire services impact fees.
The City Council finds that the City of Kalispell Final Reports of Impact Fees for the
Police Department and the Fire Department, dated March 2025, referenced herein, as
approved and submitted by the Kalispell Impact Fee Committee, along with the plan
and schedule reasonably reflects the capital needs for police and fire services in the
City that may be reasonably charged through a police and fire services impact fee.
