AGENDA ITEM 3 - BOARD APPOINTMENTS
PLANNING BOARD -COUNCIL POSITION -REPLACE PAM KENNEDY
CITIZEN MEMBER -CITY -REPLACE MIKE CONKER
Planning Board -Council Position: This is a Council decision and therefore inappropriate for the
Manager to make a recommendation.
Planning Board -Citizen Member: This is a recommendation by the Mayor with confirmation by the
Council.
Kalispell Development Corporation: It has been customary for the Mayor and one Council Member,
as selected by the Council, to attend the monthly board meeting for the KDC. These meetings are
always held the first Tuesday of each month, 7:00 A.M. at Cavanaugh's.
Former Mayor Rauthe and Council Member Kennedy have represented the City over the past several
years. Council Member Haarr has been a member of the KDC Executive Board for many years -even
before he was elected to the City Council. However, he has not been attending meetings for at least
17 months.
We need to determine which Council Member will be our representative to KDC and to make certain
that the Mayor can also attend these meetings. This is a Council appointment and it is not proper
for the Manager to make any recommendation for this action.

Mayor -- City of Kalispell
City Hall
Kalispell, MT 59901
Dear Mr. Boharski,
This letter is to request your consideration in my serving on the city - county planning board_
I was born and raised in Kalispell. I am 42 years old and I have been a resident of the county
for 35 of those years. My great grandfather homesteaded in the west valley area in the late
1800s.
I started my own design -drafting business, Contract Design Drafting, 7 years ago. My business
is primarily home design but I do some commercial work as a subcontractor to an Architect or
an Engineer. This exposes me to a variety of land/ building use considerations.
I will not come to the board having all the answers. I would listen, learn and come to a
decision based on what is best for the city - county as well as the applicant.
If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to call. Thank you for your
consideration for this position.
Sincerely,
%Q� we,

City Manager

Kalispell MT 59901
Dear Mr. Krepps:
Please accept this letter as my application to serve on the City/County Planning
Board as a representative of the city of Kalispell.
I am a native of Kalispell, and have been a resident continuously for more that 22
years. I own a business, Account Services, located in the City. My husband is an
attorney with a Kalispell practice. In the past, I have served as a founding
member of what is now the Violence Free Crisis Line, and have volunteered as a
fund raiser for organizations such as the Diabetes Association, the Heart Fund,
and the American Cancer Society. in the recent election, I was a candidate for
City Council, Ward 3.
My business —a bookkeeping and administrative assistance service —requires me
to be aware of certain aspects of Planning, in both the City and Flathead County
(as well as other locations outside our area), in that several of my clients are
involved in construction and the building trades. I believe that zoning and
planning are and should be of the greatest concern to the citizens of Kalispell,
especially in light of the growth in recent years. I would consider it an honor and
a privilege to serve as a Board member for the City of Kalispell.
Thank you for considering my application. If you have any questions, please do
not hesitate to phone me at home (257-1753) or at my office (755-3128).

RE: Appointment to Kalispell City/County Planning Board and Zoning Commission
Dear Mayor and Council
Please accept this letter as a request to be appointed to the above referenced Board.
While the Board does not make final decisions on projects it acts as a sounding board for
the public where upon the Board makes recommendations fbr a course of action.
Planning regulations should be written, interpreted, and enforced to allow a person of
average intelligence to understand what is happening.
I have been in the field of planning since 1979, starting out with the planning departax=
of Maricopa County, Arizona, working there until 1987. 1 then moved to Lancaster,
4. California in 1989 working for the CiWs planning office until 1992; moving to the
r Flathead in 1993 to work with the Flathead Regional Development Office until my
t termination in June 1997. Those positions respectively include: Draftsman, Planning
Aide, Planner 1, Assistant Planner, and Senior Planner. 1 am currently a land use
consultant providing recommendations on courses of action to the public regarding
planning issues. If you desire to review a copy of my resume I would be more than happy
to furnish you with one. It outlines in greater detail the time frames of the various
positions I have held and the responsibilities of those positions. Through these positions
and education i have learned that the power of planning and its enforcement tools needs
to be closely monitored by those ultimately responsible for it. I would be honored to
assist the City in these matters.
If you desire to discuss any matter with me my address and telephone number is listed
below.
Sincerely Yours;
John J. Parsons
