Post Office Box 1997 • Kalispell, Montana 59903-1997 . Telephone (406) 758-7700 • FAX (406) 758-7758
TO: Mayor Bill Boharski and Kalispell City Council
FROM: Rich Hickel, Asst. City Attorney
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 4560
MEETING DATE: June 19, 2000
BACKGROUND: Sgt. Rick Parker of the KPD requested this office
consider a request from Buffalo Hill Terrace designating a lane
which adjoins the north, west; and south sides of the building as
a fire lane. We are informed that there are signs posted
designating the road as a fire lane, but people have continued to
park on or adjacent to the road. The KPD was requested to ticket
vehicles illegally parked, but in reviewing past resolutions on the
subject of fire lanes, we did not find authority officially
designating the road as a fire lane.
The proposed resolution would give KPD authority to issue
citations to illegally parked vehicles to better ensure access to
fire department equipment in the event of an emergency at Buffalo
Hill Terrace.
ALTERNATIVES: Pass/Do Not Pass
RECOMMENDATION: This Office does not take any official position.
If enforcement of the fire lane is to be effective, official action
must be taken.
FISCAL EFFECTS: none
Respectfully submitted,
