Donahue Ward 11 From: Clarence Krepps, City Manager Dale Haarr Ward II Jim Atkinson Date: December 30, 1997 Ward III John Graves Re.: Misc. FYI Items Ward III Pamela B. Kennedy On Dec 26, 1997, we completed the sale and concurrent transaction of the 5.25 acres to Ward IV Rosauers, Inc. This completes this offering for the Daley Field property. We received a total M. Duane Larson f $744,234.00 and have this invested until such time it will be need for the ballfield complex. ward IV This together with the Haven Field transaction assures us of the City's $1 million commitment for the improvements at the ballfield complex. In the near future, the staff will be requesting further approval to re -offer (approximately 10 acres in two parcels) the remainder of Daley Field property. On Dec 1901 1997, we received $259,815.02 from the Kalispell Center Mall. This is the full pay off of our loan and funding that was involved in this project. We will still receive one payment for this year's profit sharing. We do not know at this time what that amount may be. We have invested these funds at this time to assure a short term and long term return. The income from this agreement has funded several programs. We are in the process of determining what will be the long term use for these funds. To maintain some of the income for ongoing programs will be one challenge. The additional challenge will be to determine what type of use will be legal for these funds since they are UDAG funds and must by federal law be utilized only for the benefit of low to moderate income residents. The City of Kalispell apparently no longer qualifies as a low to moderate income city. If this is correct we will have to "target" certain areas or neighborhoods that will qualify under federal guidelines and than determine what type of project/program we can use for the benefit of that area. We will continue to research this and will bring the results to you for your consideration.

The majority of youth for the first time involved in sports do not have the basic skills to participate. These are great learning programs. Recreating Seniors enjoyed a wonderful fall season of hiking and soaking in the brilliant fall colors. Their Halloween Party was a great success with many different costumes appearing on the scene.
