Agenda Item No. 3. Public Hearing Annexation of State Shop
Addition No. 286

Agenda Item No. 4. Resolution No. 4434 - Approval to Sell Five
Lots in Teton Terrace
Susan Moyer received proposals on the sale of five (5) lots
within the Teton Terrace Subdivision on Friday, November 13,
1998. A memo dated November 12, 1998 is included in your
packet, briefly describing the process. The sale of these
lots is part of the continuing effort of the City to develop
I:\wP\aqendamemo post Office Box 1997 • Kalispell, Montana 59903-1997
Telephone (406) 758-7700 • FAX (406)758-7758mosom
housing opportunities for low to moderate income people within
the City. Resolution No. 4434 authorizes the sale of the
property in accordance with previous sales. The name of the
party to whom the City is selling the property is not known as
of the writing of this memo. We will have a completed
Resolution for passage at the Monday meeting. A motion
approving said Resolution should be passed by the Council.
Aaenda Item No.5. Resolution No. 4435 - Valley Bank Parking Lot
Purchase
The City has bought and sold the Lots at the Northwest corner
of Third Street and Main Street at least twice in the last ten
years. In 1994 the City sold the Lots to the Valley Bank,
which at the time planned on building a bank at the site.
Valley Bank has not constructed the bank in accordance with
the restriction placed on property. The Parking Commission has
requested that the City repurchase the property for use as a
parking lot. Resolution No. 4435 authorizes the purchase of
the property for the sum of $160,000 and a motion should be
passed adopting said Resolution.
Aaenda Item No. 6. TPT Property Purchase
The Parking Commission has also requested that the City
purchase Lot 7, 8 and the N-20 feet, Block 76, Kalispell
Original for the sum of $280,000. The property is located
North of the old Dovenshire Motel and South of the old Wards
Annex. The purchase price is based on a appraisal conducted
for the owner of the property. I have included a copy of the
appraisal for your information. At this time I do not
consider it prudent to proceed with purchasing the property
without the City having some independent analysis of the
appraisal. If the Council desires to proceed along the lines
of purchasing the property, I will arrange for an independent
appraiser to review the document and give an opinion of value
upon which the Council may consider making an offer for
purchasing the property. I don't believe such a tact requires
a motion, but perhaps the Council by consensus can approve
this approach.
Agenda Item No. 7. Authority to Bid Fire Engine
At the Council Workshop of November 9, 1998, the Council
discussed the issue of purchasing a new fire truck. I believe
the consensus of the Council was to authorize the call for
bids at the November 16 meeting. A motion authorizing the
Fire Chief to proceed with calling for bids will start the
I:\wp\agendamemo -2-
process. The City is probably a year to a year and a half from
delivery of a fire truck.
Agenda Item No. 8. Deed Restriction - Flathead Industries 5t'
Avenue West Apartments
At a previous Council meeting the Council authorized the
Manager to release deed restrictions on certain real property
owned by Flathead Industries which has for several years been
used to house clients of FIFTH. Releasing the deed
restrictions will facilitate the sale of the FIFTH property in
order to finance new buildings on 5th Avenue West. The Council
at the time indicated that FIFTH should encumber the new
property in similar manner. FIFTH has proposed that the deed
restriction placed pursuant to Council direction have a
termination date, so that at some point FIFTH owns the
property without City control. This office does not see a
downside to FIFTH's proposal. A motion approving the FIFTH's
language contained in the November 10, 1998 (packet) is in
order.
Agenda Item No. 9. Swartzenberger Encroachment
The Council has been made aware that R & J Wrecking occupies
land owned by the City. The occupation is without license and
has continued for a period of at least 20 years. Councilor
Nystul has requested that the City Attorney be directed to
write a letter to R & J directing them to vacate the City
property. If the Council so directs, this office will proceed
with the letter and legal action if necessary.
Agenda Item No. 10. Questions and Comments from the Council.
