1. Motion Regarding Willows Storm Water Improvement Cost Sharing� � n
City of Kalispell
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
MONTANA
TO: Mayor Fisher and Kalispell City Council
FROM: Doug Russell, City Manager
DATE: October 10, 2012
SUBJECT: Willows Special Improvement District
A Special Improvement District for the Willows subdivision has been discussed at several
regular meetings and work sessions. The information from those meetings has been attached for
reference purposes.
At the latest work session, discussion occurred related to establishing a contribution from the
City of Kalispell for the project. At the meeting, it was suggested to base the contribution from
the City based on a contribution amount from the homeowners as though it represented a
determined amount from a homeowners' association. The initial amount suggested was $20 a
month. Talk was also held on a $15 a month contribution. Our financial advisor has provided
sample bonding amounts based on these initial payments so the Council could review what the
City's obligation would approximately be.
It is important to note that these loan amounts are estimates as a change in any one variable
changes the other numbers. It is also a challenge to demonstrate this information as the Special
Improvement District (homeowners' portion) will be bonded. The term of the bond is typically
decided at the time of issue and is dependent upon the respective interest rates and yield curves
that provide the most advantages for the respective bond issue. Because of this, we looked at 15
and 20 year terms for a $20/month and $15/month homeowner assessment to provide Council an
idea of what the City's contribution could look like.
It is also important to note that these estimates are based on the preliminary engineering and
construction estimates. These estimates also include estimates of the fees associated with the
bond issuance.
There are a number of ways a recommendation can be stated. Based on the Council discussion at
the last work session, the recommendation is to decide upon an assessment amount for a specific
time frame. This would identify the contribution amount and term from the Special
Improvement District. The difference from that amount would be applied to the City's
contribution.

Re: The Willows Subdivision Stormwater Council Inquiries
The Willow SID approval and City participation contribution was discussed at the September 4, 2012
meeting. Below is Staff's response to the questions and additional information requested by Council. In
an effort to stay consist with the material presented to Council, the following information will
be presented using the four sub -delineated drainage basins as outlined in the September 4, 2012 meeting.
1. The Willows Drainage Basin (includes offsite vacant field to the north)
2. Muskrat Slough Drainage Basin
3. Leisure Heights

Retrieval of Stormwater Assessments collected back to 2001, when development first started in the
Willows Subdivision, requires paper tracking for each property and staff did not have the time to collect
this data prior to the Council meeting. If it is desired and provided more time, we can collect this
remaining information, or estimates can be achieved by multiplying the FY 11/12 amount by the
respective number of years. This would be a liberal estimate based upon lower fees and number of
residences in the earlier years.

Re: The Willows Subdivision Stormwater Improvements
Background:
The Willows Subdivision experienced flooding in the spring of 2011 due to a plugged 12" discharge
pipe from the Willows stormwater detention facility. The residents of the Willows approached the
City and requested the City take over maintenance responsibilities for the detention facility and
associated discharge piping. The City agreed to provide this service based on the stormwater
detention facility and discharge system being updated to current City Standards. The improvements
needed to meet current City Standards include re -development, upgrade, and installation of the
following:
• Detention facility sizing
• Outlet structure
• Side slopes
• Offsite flows
Water quality treatment
Maintenance access
The residents of the Willows came to a consensus the improvements would improve and enhance the
subdivision and decided to proceed with the development of a Special Improvement District (SID).
An engineer was hued to develop a preliminary engineering report which provides a cost estimate for
the design and construction of the stormwater improvements.
On August 13, 2012, City Council participated in a presentation outlining the Willows stormwater
development and the proposed preliminary engineering report for the improvements. Questions arose
concerning the offsite flows (bypass flows) in regards to who is responsible for that portion of the
construction cost, and whether the City should participate in some of the offsite flows construction
costs. Following discussion, Council requested options for consideration based upon potential
participation in the offsite flows associated with the 18" pipe for this project. This report will outline
the percentages of offsite flows associated with this project and offer several alternatives for
participation and funding for the Council to consider.
Preliminary Engineer Report and Offsite Flow Percentages:
The Willows Detention Facility is located at the downstream end of a large drainage area. Flows
from areas within the large drainage area can be broken into three sub -delineated drainage basins.
1. The Willows Drainage Basin (includes offsite vacant field to the north)
2. Muskrat Slough Drainage Basin
3. Leisure Heights
4. County Facility
The flow contributions from each sub -delineated drainage basin are as follows:

The preliminary engineering report outlined utilizing an 18" pipe to bypass the offsite flows from
Muskrat Slough, Leisure Heights, and the County Facility. The flows from the Willows Subdivision
were designed to discharge through the existing detention facility 12" discharge pipe and utilize
some of the flow capacity of the bypass pipe. The table below summarizes the flows, capacities, and
percentages of the pipes. The Willows will utilize the entire capacity of the 12" pipe and 36% of
the bypass pipe. The remaining capacity of the bypass pipe will be utilized by the other sub -
delineated drainage areas.

The construction cost can be further broken down into items associated with the bypass flows pipe
construction. Table 4 Proportional Cost Break Down, uses the percent contributions (calculated in
Table 2) to produce a proportional cost estimated for the Willows and offsite flows associated with
the three sub -delineated drainage basins.
Table 4 summarizes, a total proportional construction cost of $41,374.21 is from the Willows
Subdivision. The remaining construction costs associated with the offsite flow or bypass capacity is
$87,625.79.
Please note, the figures used to calculate the % contribution were based on the preliminary
engineering and are subject to change, however the same methodology will be used once the final
design report is complete.

Option 1 Elect to not participate in the funding of the improvements.
Option 2 Elect to participate in 100% funding of the bypass improvements with impact fees
covering the offsite flow percentage (68% per the example) and stormwater assessments for
the remaining portion of the bypass project (18" pipe).
Option 3 Elect to participate in the funding of the improvements with impact fees up to the
percentage associated with off -site flows (68% per the example) for the bypass project (18"
pipe) -
Alternative 2: Find that the offsite flows represent historical quantities for the Willows Subdivision.
Option A Elect to not participate in the funding of the improvements.
Option B Elect to participate in in the funding of the improvements with storm sewer
assessments up to the entire bypass project (18" pipe).
Option C Elect to participate in the funding of the improvements with storm sewer
assessments up to the percentage associated with off -site flows (68% per the example) for the
bypass project (18" pipe).
Alternative 3: Deny the petition to form the SID
Alternative 4: As determined by Council
M
Funding Sources:
Impact fees:
The City's Stormwater Impact Fee Fund has $669,236, as outlined in the fiscal year 12/13 budget
with two projects totaling $436,500 (though that is dependent upon new development occurring to
encumber these appropriated funds.) Even with these projects, funding would be available in the
Stormwater Impact Fee Fund.
Stormwater Fund:
Funding to support the construction for the bypass piping could be used from the budget line item
Designated Capital Projects. Designated Capital Projects revenues are allocated from stormwater
assessments at $50,000 per year. Ending cash in this line item for FY 12/13 is $465,844.
With Council approval for use of either source, a new CIP would be created using the estimated
bypass pipe construction cost with a follow up 12/13 budget amendment.
Staff Recommendation:
Discussion at the previous work session identified the offsite flows from neighboring development as
having a negative impact upon the drainage system serviced by the Willows Subdivision.
As such, it is recommend that Council approve the Resolution Authorizing the Willows Subdivision
Special Improvement District and participate in funding the bypass project with impact fees up to the
percentage associated with off -site flows (68% per the example) for the bypass project (18" pipe).

RESOLUTION NO.5590
A RESOLUTION RELATING TO SPECIAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 345;
CREATING THE DISTRICT FOR THE PURPOSE OF UNDERTAKING CERTAIN
LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS AND FINANCING THE COSTS THEREOF AND
INCIDENTAL THERETO THROUGH THE ISSUANCE OF SPECIAL IMPROVE-
MENT DISTRICT BONDS SECURED BY THE CITY'S SPECIAL IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT REVOLVING FUND.
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the "Council") of the City of Kalispell (the
"City"), Montana, as follows:
Section 1. Passage of Resolution of Intention. This Council, on June 18, 2012, adopted
Resolution No. 5565 (the "Resolution of Intention"), pursuant to which this Council declared its
intention to create a special improvement district, designated as Special Improvement District
No. 345 of the City (the "District"), under Montana Code Annotated, Title 7, Chapter 12, Parts
41 and 42, as amended, for the purpose of financing the costs of certain local improvements
described generally therein and consisting primarily of a storm water detention facility and outlet
(the "Improvements") and paying costs incidental thereto, including costs associated with the
sale and the security of special improvement district bonds drawn on the District (the "Bonds"),
the creation and administration of the District, and the funding of a deposit to the City's Special
Improvement District Revolving Fund (the "Revolving Fund") and to a District reserve account.
Section 2. Notice and Public Hearing. Notice of passage of the Resolution of Intention
was duly published and mailed in all respects in accordance with law, and on July 16, 2012, this
Council conducted a public hearing to hear and pass upon protests against the proposed
Improvements and the creation of the District. The public hearing was the first meeting of the
Council following the expiration of the period ended 17 days after the first date of publication of
the notice of passage of the Resolution of Intention (the "Protest Period").
Section 3. Protests. Within the Protest Period, three (3) protests were filed with the City
Clerk by the owners of property in the District subject to assessment, representing 3.45% of the
total estimated costs of the Improvements and costs incidental thereto to be assessed against the
properties in the District, in accordance with the method or methods of assessment in the
Resolution of Intention.
Section 4. Creation of the District; Insufficiency of Protests. At the next regular meeting
after the expiration of the Protest Period (i.e., the meeting on July 16, 2012), the Council heard
and passed upon all protests and determined that the protests made by owners in the District to
be assessed for the cost of the proposed Improvements and incidental costs to be financed with
the Bonds is not more than 50% of all of such costs in the District. The Council found and
hereby ratifies and confirms that the protests against the creation of the District or the making of
the Improvements filed during the Protest Period are insufficient. The Council subsequently
analyzed the Improvements in greater detail and determined that additional City contributions
toward the costs of the Improvements may be warranted. The District is hereby created on the
terms and conditions set forth in, and otherwise in accordance with, the Resolution of Intention,
but taking into account any additional contributions by the City toward the costs of the
SID #345 — Willows Subdivision
Improvements, thereby, if made, reducing the special assessments against properties in the
District. The findings and determinations made in the Resolution of Intention, including, without
limitation, those relating to benefits conferred, funding the Revolving Fund and District reserve
account and securing the Bonds thereby, and using the proceeds of the Bonds to pay or
reimburse the City for all or a portion of the costs of the Improvements and costs incidental
thereto are hereby ratified and confirmed.
PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AND SIGNED BY THE MAYOR
OF THE CITY OF KALISPELL, THIS 4TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2012.

77 Water Quality / Detention Facility
- MT- -.. V 12" Pipe
18" Pipe 18" Pipe
Bypass flows
The existing stormwater treatment pond receives flow from a ditch that runs along the southern edge of the subdivision, outlet to Muskrat
Slough, and flow from the Leisure Heights Subdivision. Because this ditch may receive continuous flow from the slough and Leisure
Heights Subdivision, the pond cannot adequately treat stormwater runoff from the Willows. The solution is to bypass flow from the ditch
around the pond so that the pond can function properly. Therefore, a diversion structure and pipe should be constructed as shown in the
schematic below.
The bypass pipe would be 18" in diameter and run under the pond. It would then connect to anew 18" overflow pipe that would parallel
the existing 12" pipe to the river. In addition, the diversion structure would also allow flow to bypass over the top for larger storm events
and/or a pipe clog.
Construct a New Pond Outlet Structure
Construct new outlet structure. According to the as -built drawings, the existing outlet structure is 2.5' x 4.0' x 3.0 feet tall. As designed,
the inlet to the structure is at the same level as the bottom of the pond. This has led to clogging due to sediment and other debris in the
inlet. In addition, this structure does not regulate flows leaving the detention pond and does not meet current City standards.
The Stormwater Design Manual Provides a number of standard details for outlet structures ranging from 5 to 6 feet in diameter. These
structures regulate the flows leaving the pond and would have an orifice sized to discharge the predevelopment flow rate. The structure
would also bypass the orifice to safely pass larger storms through the system.
Construct a New 18" Overflow Pine
According to a note on the as -built drawings, the 12" storm drain pipe that remains in -place running from the pond outlet structure to the
Stillwater River was to be replaced with a 15" pipe during Phase Hof the construction of the subdivision. However, the as-builts show a
12-inch pipe and field measurements confirm this.
To safely pass flows generated from the subdivision, a new 18" pipe running from the new outlet structure to the Stillwater River is
proposed to parallel the existing 12" pipe. The invert of this pipe would be located above the existing 12" pipe invert in the outlet structure
and would act as an emergency bypass for larger storm events and would accept off -site flow from the ditch.
Pond Slope Stabilization and Reconstruction
While the existing slopes of the pond do not meet current City Standards of 4H:1 V, there is insufficient room at the site to meet this
requirement. Existing residential yards are immediately adjacent to the pond to the north, and the county property is immediately adjacent
to the pond on the south. Therefore, the existing slopes must be maintained.
hi addition to the slope stabilization, the pond will have to be reconfigured with a second cell to meet water quality standards. This will
allow the pond to essentially function as a wetpond as outlined in Section 6.3 of the Stormwater Design Manual.
Construct an Access Gate and Maintenance Ramp
The most logical point of access would be to place a gate on the fence to the Flathead County Shop Complex and negotiate an access
easement with the County. In addition to the easement, an equipment ramp into the pond will have to be constructed to allow City crews
to remove accumulated sediment and other debris.
