Box 1997 Kalispell, Mt. 59901 Theresa, I recently read an article in the Daily Interlake about the city seeking volunteers for several of the advisory boards. I would be interested in the Urban Renewal Agency Board as a first choice and the Planning Board as a second choice, or perhaps both. I have been a property owner in Kalispell for 34 years and a business owner for almost 30 years. I was involved with the original redevelopment program back in the early 1980's and also sat on one of the first architectural review comities for about three years. I also was active in the Chamber of Commerce downtown retail committee at that time serving as its chairman. I would like to once again become involved after a 20 year hiatus. I do have some time constraints because of the need to take care of my business. I would usually be available for meetings before 10:00 Am., and anytime after 60:00 pm. I did not see any meeting times posted in the newspaper article. If I can answer any other questions please feel free to call me Tuesday- Friday 10:00 am. To 5:30 pm. At 755-4220 Thank you. Murphy McMahon
