GOLF COURSE/LAWRENCE PARK Surveyor Zavodny reported that the fence line/boundary line
for the Golf Course and Lawrence Park has been surveyed per Council request. He stated
that the document he had prepared does not create an official boundary line between
the two, but it is a good start in regard to resolution. It shows the intent of the
relocation an^it shows a common boundary line between the two. This document can
be used until the time comes when the Council wants to make a permanent boundary,
then it should be platted and surveyed. A motion was made by C. Manning to prepare
a resolution defining the boundary line relocation between Old Lawrence Park and
the Golf Course. The motion was seconded. With no one opposed, the motion carried.
BRUCKHAUSER POOL CONCESSION C. Manning presented a report as was requested by C. Ruiz
regarding the incoming and outgoing money of the concession prepared by Barbara Zavodny.
The original request for the concession was to change the concession hours from opening
at 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. for the next year. C. Manning recommended to go with the
committee's original decision and try opening at 11:00 A.M. for the next year. A motion
was made by C. Nystul that the request to open at 11:00 rather than at 9:00 be granted
on a one year trial basis. The motion was seconded. With no one opposed, the motion
carried.
BOOM TRUCK Mayor Kennedy reported that Larry Jarrol spent four hours checking out the
1985 truck in Spokane and said that it is virtually a brand new truck. Discussion took
place regarding purchasing or leasing/renting a boom truck. In reference'to the minimal
amount of money in the budget, C. Nystul suggested that the Parks Department try to
lease a truck for a couple of months for the demonstration project on 3rd Ave. E., if
• it doesn't work out, then budget for the lease purchase next year. Motion was made
to not pursue the purchase of a boom truck and that other alternatives to leasing a
truck on a trial basis with the idea of putting it back into the budget if problems are
incurred. The motion was seconded. With no one opposed, the motion carried.
WOODLAND PARK WELL Scott Hanchett reported that he has spoken with Mr. Osborne and
the well at Woodland Park may be able to be repaired for as little as $3,000. In
order to control the well, he suggested that the well be repaired. It was agreed
that there should be a report from Mr. Osborne done in regard to evaluation of
grouting, advantages and long term effects of shutting the well down and to keep
the information on record. This will be something further looked into.
GOLF COURSE LEASE C. Ruiz requested to have the golf course lease renewed from
January, 1988 to January, 1993. C. Nystul questioned if the document needed to be
improved. C. Ruiz stated that the only improvement would be the dates. C. Manning
questioned if the charge should be adjusted. C. Ruiz stated that the original charge
was to pay for insurance. C. Nystul questioned if there should be an agreement as to
what improvements should be done. C. Ruiz agreed that it should, stating that lease
hold improvements are in the annual statement every year and that a section of the
lease states that all improvements become the City's. In addition, the financial
statement carries a projected budget. Motion was made for the Council to renew the
lease with the Golf Course for five years with the starting date being January 1988,
and bring a recommendation in regard to the fee. The motion was seconded. With no
one opposed, the motion carried.

Mayor Kennedy, Chairman Manning, Councilman Nystul, DPW Hammer, Ken Bauska
and Bud Anderson present.
BEGG PARK - LEASE Mr. Anderson presented a draft lease agreement between the Kalispell
Legion Baseball Association and the City of Kalispell to see where the City's position
is. The lease deals with Griffin Field and the Secondary Field. Discussion took place
in regard to definitions of liability of the two parties. C. Nystul suggested that
it may be to the benefit of the Legion Team to enter into a formal detailed agreement
rather than a formal lease agreement. Mr. Anderson stated that for scheduling purposes
and fund raising for improvements to the facility, the association would prefer a lease.
In addition, the Association has a lot invested in the program and would prefer to have
control over monitoring the facility. Mayor Kennedy pointed out concern over future
boards and the lease agreement, although there is a very good, active board now. The
decision was made to refer the lease to the City Attorney for an opinion of the language
acceptability.
REGULATING DISPLAY OR ADVERTISING OF ART FORMS C. Manning presented a rough draft of
an ordinance regarding review of the art forms that may or may not be displayed in the
City of Kalispell. He explained that this ordinance would protect and give an option
to the City in the event some art form was donated to the City and was unacceptable.
The process would require review by the Hockaday and the Architectural Review Board
and recommendation to the Parks Department who would then give recommendation to
the Council for approval of permits.
WOODLAND PARK WELL C. Nystul reported that the Mayor spoke with Bill Osborne who found
some information in the records that the Woodland Park well is grouted for 30 feet and
that it is acceptable to throttle down.
GOLF COURSE LEASE C. Nystul stated that the lease agreement between the City of Kalispell
and the Golf Course is not ready to be acted upon. C. Manning is to bring the lease to
the awareness of the Council regarding the $1,500 fee and informing that the Golf Course
would like to revise the lease to calander year as opposed to the July 1 date. The
Committee does not recommend that the lease pass at this time.
