PUBLIC COMMENT
ADJOURNMENT
Reasonable accommodations will be made to enable individuals with disabilities to attend this
meeting. Please notify the Kalispell City Clerk at 758-7756.
Dear Board Member,
Susan Nicosia (City of Columbia Falls Finance Director), Amy Robertson (City of Kalispell Finance
Director), and Sandy Carlson (Flathead County Finance Director), met to review the financial
expenditures relating to the 911 building and related CIP funds. The findings are as follows:
® The current cash balance in Fund 4026 is ($216,019.90) and Fund 4025 is $6,971.43.
® There was a $400,000 cash transfer from Fund 4025 to the operating fund (2850) in FY 09/10.
There was no documentation that this was to be paid back.
® Fund 4025 paid for Big Mt Communication Site EQPT of $148,569. A grant award letter was
received from the State (Homeland Security), however we found no evidence that the funds
were ever requested or received. Flathead County is currently trying to contact the state to see
if reimbursement is still available.
® Fund 2850 (911 operating Fund) paid for $12,873.97 of building charges. (Meter connect, street
light, and CTA Architects.)
® The 911 building was over budget by $675,842.17. This was from cost overruns on Computer,
Communications, and the Phone equipment.
Our recommendations are as follows:
® The County should fund the negative balance of $216,019.90 in Fund 4026 and $12,873.97 owed
to the operating fund (2850). This is a total transfer of $228,893.87. Recognizing that
ownership of this building, equipment and components will revert to Flathead County in the
case of dissolution per the Inter local Agreement.
® Should the grant funds be received for the Big Mt Communication Site EQPT, they should be
applied to fund 4025 and used for future CIP purposes for the 911 center.
® Assume the $400,000 transfer to the operating fund from the CIP fund was not intended to be
repaid or we need to set up a formal internal loan schedule to be paid back.
There were a myriad of items contributing to the cost overruns including limited financial oversight
on the project, inaccurate information on projected cash balances, numerous corrections in coding,
and significant cost overrun in Communications, Computer and Phone equipment.
The building, its components and equipment totaled $8.8M. We received $1.5M in
grants/contributions, $6.1M bond funds and used up our original cash balance and protested taxes of
$1.2M.
Sincerely,
Susan Nicosia , Finance Director, City of Columbia Falls
Amy Robertson, Finance Director, City of Kalispell
Sandy Carlson, Finance Director, Flathead County
