G17. RESOLUTION 4987- RESOIUTION OF INTENT -WHITEFISH STAGE SEWER.
INTERCEPTOR REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
Staff requested authority from Council to advertise for RFP's to develop the sewer Intercep tor north
on Whitefish Stage Road for the future development of the Two Rivers area.
Herron moved Resolution 4987, a resolution of intent to develop Kalispell City sewer service
infrastructure north of Reserve Street along Whitefish Stage Road and to solicit private
investment in the project through a request for proposals. The motion was seconded.
Patrick explained that property owners north of Reserve would like to develop their properties. After
discussing the issue at a work session Council directed staff to develop a resolution of intent to
proceed with the installation of sewer service north of Reserve along Whitefish Stage. He said the
request for proposals is to determine whether there are developers interested in partnering with the
City on the project. Responding to a public comment that the Council was to .have received an
economic feasibility study, Patrick said staff is working on that and it should be available shortly.
Hafferman commented, -This may turn out favorably if a developer steps forth who wants to invest
in the area. I can foresee a cooperative agreement made whereby the investor constructs the
extension and the ratepayers use existing hook-up fees to enlarge the lift station and related force
main at Laurence Park together with enlarging certain gravity sewer lines in the City proper related to
the sewer to Rose Crossing. These are identified in the Facilities Plan. Apparently there is sufficient
money in the hook-up fee account so the developer would not have to make these enlargement
improvements and then have to wait until enough money could be collected in hook-up fees to
