Post Office Box 1997 - Kalispell, Montana 59903-1997 - Telephone (406)758-7700 Fax(406)758-7758
The Honorable Mayor Pamela B. Kennedy and City Council
James Patrick, City Manager, City Manager
FROM: Susan Moyer, Community Development Director
Frank Garner, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Update on City Airport Utility Needs
MEETING DATE: November 1, 2004
BACKGROUND:
For Mr. Patrick's information, staff is again calling attention to the fact that the City Council adopted Ordinance
No. 1242 on July 17, 1997, approving the Kalispell City Airport/Athletic Complex Redevelopment Plan as an
Urban Renewal Plan. Goals established by this Plan are as follows:
➢ To minimize hazards to navigation;
➢ To develop the airport in accordance to any airport layout plan;
➢ To increase development opportunities on nearby properties;
➢ To promote compatible land use in and around the airport;
➢ To establish a funding mechanism for airport operations; and
➢ To establish a priority schedule for plan implementation
Regardless of whether or not the airport is upgraded to a Class B-H designation, the need for infrastructure work
such as running utilities, asphalt paving of runway and taxi areas, deferred maintenance, etc. continues to exist
as long as the City owns and operates the airport. The key issue here is that the City of Kalispell is the
property owner and, as such, the developer.
Since the advent of a City Airport Manager, the City has one new hanger valued at $125,000 under construction
and T&L Properties ready to sign leases on four additional hangers at an estimated $750,000 value. These
leases equate to an estimated $22,000+ in new property taxes and $15,000 in annual lease payments. It is the
responsibility of the Developer (the City) to provide these leased sites with utilities and amenities that it takes
for the hanger owners to operate.
Phil Porrini of Robert Peccia & Associates has provided the City Airport Manager with a revised estimate of the
"non-refundable" utilities work that needs to be installed in order for the new hanger leases to be signed and
construction to take place. The estimate is $9,050 higher than submitted on August 25, 2004 due to the location
of the four new T&L Properties' hangers. The underground utility costs are now estimated at $145,140. Mr.
Porrini concurs with the local utility companies that it is much more cost effective to lay the utilities at one time
rather than piece meal. Mr. Gary Nyquist of Flathead Electric Coop has stated that FEC would take at least a
year to start the project if the City does not do a single construction project. This, most certainly, would result
in the loss of the T & L Properties' hangers as well as any new inquiries.
C
E
Tax Increment funds be utilized to pay for the non -reimbursable items such as utilities, an internal road to
access hanger sites, and an electronic gate. The projected breakdown is as follows for the non -reimbursable
items:.
Underground Utilities $118,090
Engineering & Local Utility Fees $ 32,550
Chain Link Fence, Automatic Vehicle Gate, Access Road $ 77,208
$227, 848
New TYproperty taxes and lease revenues generated from the Carter and T&L Properties projects alone will
pay for non-refundable investment in 6.2 years. If the remaining 5 to 7 potential hanger leases and new tax
base come on line within the next year, the pay off period could be lowered to approximately 3.1 years. The
attached email and drawing indicate the stub outs costs that will be installed at the time of utility construction.
Stub out from the main service line were not included in the previous handout.
The attached non -eligible costs have increased from the presentation last Monday, October 25th, due to
including sewer stub outs from the main to the hookup sites. The hookup fees and installation will be paid for
by the hanger owners.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not only can the advance of Tax Increment Fax Funds be repaid to the City within 5.6
years or possibly as few as 2.8 years, the use of the "Land Sale Funds" eligible reimbursable funds will be
returned 95% by FAA. This means invested wisely, the reimbursable $950,000 of land sale funds can make the
operation and maintenance of the revamped airport viable and self-sufficient long into the future.
As suggested by Council.
Respectfully submitted,
Susan Moyer, Director,
