Agenda Item No. 4. Noffsinger Springs Feasibility Study
At a previous workshop, Jim Hansz, Director of Public Works,
discussed surface water influence on the ground water at
Noffsinger Springs. At that meeting the Council, by consensus,
directed PWD to proceed with an RFP for a hydrological
analysis of the situation, as a first step in an attempt to
avoid either abandonment or filtration of the Noffsinger
Spring source. RLK Hydro and Land & Water Consulting Engineers
(LWC) submitted proposals. The PWD staff ranked LWC first.
The Council should by motion direct PWD to negotiate a
contract with LWC for the analysis, or, in the event a
contract cannot be negotiated with LWC, PWD is authorized to
negotiate with RLK.
Agenda Item No. 5. COPS MORE Grant
Included in your packet is a Memo from Frank Garner, Chief of
-Police, discussing the City's receipt of a U.S. Department of
Justice Grant to fund additional staffing within the Police
Department. The Grant, in the amount of $22,000.00, will be
used to provide an additional dispatcher, allowing the
department to utilize current civilian staff to work on
software, hardware, data entry and diagnostic issues
associated with the computer system. Matching funds for the
Grant will be made with authorized expenditures from the
existing Police budget. A motion to amend the annual
appropriation, Resolution No. 4433, will allow proper receipt,
budgeting and expenditure of the COPS MORE Grant.
Agenda Item No. 6. Ordinance No. 1295 - Adoption of Revised
Kalispell City Codes - 2nd Reading
At the Meeting of October 19, 1998, the Council adopted the
first reading of Ordinance No. 1295, adoption of the revised
Kalispell City Codes. Passage of the second reading is
appropriate at this time.
Agenda Item No. 7. Conditional Use Permit - Cherry Orchard Park
Kalispell Partners Limited Partnership has made a request for
a conditional use permit to construct a 24 unit senior citizen
apartment complex on Lot 6, Liberty Village Subdivision,
located at the end of Liberty Street on the West edge of
Kalispell. The request came before the Kalispell City -County
Planning Board and Zoning Commission at its October 20, 1998
Meeting. The FRDO staff report recommended approval of the
CUP with 9 conditions. The Commission adopted the FRDO
Report, KCU-98-7 as its findings of fact and recommended
I:\wp\agendamemo -2-
approval of the CUP subject to the 9 conditions. The Grant of
Conditional Use, under the # 7 tab, recites the appropriate
factual basis for the granting of the CUP and contains all
conditions recommended. A motion to approve the Cherry Orchard
Apartments CUP should be passed by the Council.
Agenda Item No. 8. Conditional Use Permit - Trinity Lutheran Day
Care.
Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church has made an application to
covert an existing home at 373 W. Washington into a day care
center. The application was reviewed at the October 20, 1998
meeting of the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning
Commission. The FRDO Report KCU-98-8 recommended approval of
the CUP subject to 6 conditions. The Commission approved the
FRDO Report as submitted. A motion should be passed by the
Council approving the CUP subject to the findings and
conditions contained in the Grant of Conditional Use contained
in your packet.
Agenda Item No. 9. Abandonment of Easement.
The City has had a utility easement since 1971 between the
lift station at Grandview Drive and U.S. #93 North to a
manhole located adjacent to U.S. #93 North at Northridge
Drive. When Northwest Healthcare created the Buffalo Commons
Subdivision and Planned Unit Development it became necessary
to relocate the easement outside the confines of the 1971
document. A new easement has been prepared along a surveyed
line within the Buffalo Commons Subdivision and it is
appropriate to abandon the old easement. Included in your
packet is a document entitled Abandonment of Easement
describing, in somewhat convoluted but accurate language, the
easement to be abandoned. A motion authorizing the City
Manager to execute the document should be passed by the
Council.
Agenda Item No. 10. Questions and Comments from the Council.
