Discussion of Reimbursement Program of Transportation Fees
Collected and Development of a Transportation Funding
Alternatives Committee
February 13, 2012 — Workshop
BACKGROUND: On February 6, 2012, the Kalispell City Council, passed legislation to
eliminate the Transportation Impact Fees that have been in effect since April 1, 2009.
Approximately $148,000 has been collected and no funds have been expended for any capital
project. Pursuant to state law the funds must be reimbursed to the current owners of the
property for which the fees were paid. City staff is currently assembling the data necessary to
begin the reimbursement. It is anticipated that the process will begin in approximately two
weeks.
The Kalispell Building Department, which collects the fees, has been notified to discontinue
collecting the transportation impact fees and to notify those in the application process that any
previously quoted transportation impact fee will not be collected.
Council will also be discussing the development of a transportation funding alternatives
committee that will include various representatives throughout the community.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles'-ffa Interim City Manager
