Agenda Item No 4. Alley Abandonment — Block 95, Kalispell
Original
Father Kevin O'Neill at St. Matthew's Church and School has
requested that the City abandon and vacate the alley in Block
95, Kalispell Original. The alley is platted between St.
Matthew's Church/Parking Lot and St. Matthew's School/
Playground. The parish desires to expand the playground
facility and needs the area for their expansion. The parish
will be providing ingress and egress to the parking lot at a
different location in accordance with City regulations. The
alley has been closed with cable gates during school hours for
several years. The Fire Department has no objection to the
vacation so long as they have access to serve the South end of
the Church and the West side of the School. Public Works can
accommodate the change so long as the Church understands that
it will be required to re -pave the alley in the event the
alley is re -opened in the future and utility service is not
interrupted. The proposal has been duly noticed by posting
and publication as required by law.
Agenda Item No. 5. Ordinance No. 1289, amending Ordinance No.
1166, Administration
Ordinance No. 1166, (Chapter 2, Kalispell City Code) provides
that the Manager represents the City in administration of
local government service agreements and intergovernmental
administrative agencies. The Ordinance specifically mentions
the County Administrative Board, City -County Health Board and
City -County Planning Board and Zoning Commission. (Section 2-
28, f.) Section 2-3 designates the Mayor to appoint with the
consent of the Council all members of advisory boards and
commissions, and the City Attorney. It has been suggested that
the City Manager should not be designated by Ordinance as the
City representative on the CAB, Board of Health, or City -
County Planning Board and Zoning Commission. In practice the
Manager has served as the City's representative on the CAB,
only, with Council members being appointed to serve on the
Board of Health and City -County Planning. In the event the
proposed change is made, the Mayor's authority to appoint,
with the consent of the Council, would then necessarily need
to be amended to allow for designating representatives. The
change would not mean that the Manager could not serve on the
I:\wp\agendamemo -2-
CAB, Board of Health or City -County Planning. It would
require the appointment to be made by the Mayor, subject to
approval by the Council. Ordinance No. 1289 would accommodate
the suggested changes. If the Council desires to make the
changes noted in the Ordinance No. 1289, passage of a motion
to adopt said Ordinance is in order.
Agenda Item No 6. Resolution No. 4414 — Resolution Adopting
Master Plan Amendment
Included in your packet is a Resolution No. 4414 including
proposed findings of fact per Council's instructions, for your
consideration. In the event the Council determines it
appropriate to approve the Master Plan amendment, a motion to
pass Resolution No. 4414 will be in order.
Agenda Item No 7. Resolution No. 4415 — Alley Abandonment
As indicated in this memo under the Public Hearing portion,
St. Matthew's Church has requested abandonment of the alley
located in Block 95, Kalispell Original. The Staff has no
objection to the abandonment, subject to the conditions noted
above. Resolution No. 4415, if passed will be recorded and
the alley will be vacated on the plat. A motion and passage
of Resolution No. 4415 is in order, if the Council desires to
abandon the alley.
Agenda Item No.8. Resolution No. 4416 — Police Block Grant
Public Hearing
Included in your packet is a Memo from Frank Garner discussing
a proposal to apply for a Block Grant to fund overtime for
police officers engaged in Community Policing related to
juvenile substance abusers and bike patrols within the City.
In order to comply with the Grant conditions, the City must
schedule a Public Hearing and allow public comment on the
receipt and use of the funds. Resolution No. 4416 calls for
the Public Hearing and provides for notice. We will have a
resolution authorizing the program and authorizing the
appropriation and expenditure of funds at the August 317d
Council Meeting.

Agenda Item No. 9. Buffalo Commons (Sprinkling Connections)
Included in your packet is a letter from Jim Oliverson, of
Northwest Healthcare requesting consideration from the Council
in the cost of connecting to City water for sprinkling
services in Buffalo Commons. The current City tariff does not
distinguish between sprinkling and general usage for purpose
of connection fees. The tariff sets the water connection fee
for a 5/8 meter at $600, 3/4 meter at $890 and 1 1/2 meter at
$3456. Neither the this office nor the Director of Public
Works believes that we have the authority to alter the tariff
schedule to grant the relief requested. Total waiver of the
connection fee for Northwest Healthcare will cost the water
utility $6648 in lost connection fee revenue. The capital
investment in the public water supply system for Kalispell
provides a basis for tariff on connection fees. It may not be
equitable for the City utility to charge full connection
charges when the water usage is for a limited time period of
say 5 month. However, the utility should expect to receive
some return on the capital investment through the connection
fee regardless of the intended use. Perhaps a compromise is
in order. I will inform Northwest Healthcare of the meeting
and perhaps they may offer a solution.
Agenda Item No. 10. Southfield Park — Final Plat
Your packet contains documentation concerning the application
of Richard A. Dasen for final plat approval on Southfield
Park, formerly Haven Field. According to the Memo from FRDO
all conditions imposed on the preliminary plat, with one
exception, have been met. The noted exception concerns Public
Works approval of the public improvements. This office has
attached to FRDO' s memo a copy of a letter sent by PWD Jim
Hansz on July 16, 1998 which essentially approves Jackola's
design. The Subdivision Improvement Agreement has been
submitted and this office expects to have security for
performance of the Agreement prior to the Council meeting on
July 20, 1998. Council approval of the final plat should be
made at Monday's meeting.
Agenda Item No. 11. Lantis Final Plat
The City granted preliminary plat approval for the Lantis
Subdivision at Three Mile Drive and Liberty Street on June 16,
I:\wp\agendamemo -4-
1998. Lantis has since developed a portion of the property as
a nursing facility. Lantis now is applying for final plat
approval. All of the conditions of the preliminary plat have
been met, and there is no need for Subdivision Improvement
Agreement or bond. The Council should approve the final plat
at Monday's meeting.
Agenda Item No. 12. Parking Commission Appointments
The Parking Commission is functioning with only three members.
I understand the Mayor may have received inquiries from
interested citizens and may have two appointments for Monday
night.
