NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on June 18, 2012, the City Council (the "Council") of
the City of Kalispell, Montana (the "City"), adopted a Resolution of Intention to create Special
Improvement District No. 345 (the "District") for the purpose of financing the costs of certain
local improvements (the "Improvements") and paying costs incidental thereto, including costs
associated with the sale and the security of special improvement district bonds of the City drawn
on the District (the "Bonds"), the creation and administration of the District, the funding of a
deposit to the City's Special Improvement District Revolving Fund (the "Revolving Fund"), and
the establishment of a reserve account securing the Bonds in the District fund (the "Reserve
Account"). The Improvements would be constructed and installed pursuant to plans and
specifications prepared by Morrison-Maierle, Inc., of Kalispell, Montana.
A complete copy of the Resolution of Intention (the "Resolution") is on file with the City
Clerk that more specifically describes the nature of the Improvements, the boundaries and the
area included in the District, the location of the Improvements and other matters pertaining
thereto and further particulars.
The Improvements consist of designing, engineering, and constructing improvements to
the storm water detention facility serving the District (the "Facility") to bring the Facility up to
City standards, including design, construction and installation of a diversion structure and
improvements to the detention pond, pond outlet structure, and the outlet pipe of the Facility.
The total estimated costs of the Improvements to be financed with the Bonds, including all
incidental costs, are $392,556.
The City would issue the Bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $392,556
to finance the costs of the Improvements, including costs incidental thereto. Principal of and
interest on the Bonds will be paid from special assessments levied against the property in the
District in the aggregate principal amount of $392,556 and such payment will be secured by the
Reserve Account and the Revolving Fund. Subject to the limitations of Montana Code
Annotated, Section 7-12-4222, the general fund of the City may be used to provide loans to
the Revolving Fund or a general tax levy may be imposed on all taxable property in the
City to meet the financial requirements of the Revolving Fund.
The costs of the Improvements shall be assessed equally against each lot, parcel, or tract
in the District, such that the total principal amount of the assessment against each such lot,
parcel, or tract shall not exceed $4,512.14. If an increase occurs in the number of benefited lots,
tracts, or parcels within the boundaries of the District during the term of the Bonds, the Council
will recalculate the amount assessable to each lot, tract or parcel, including the newly created
lots, tracts or parcels. The recalculation will be based on the amount of the District's outstanding
Bonds for the current fiscal year and the District will spread the assessments across the District
based on the number of benefited lots, tracts, or parcels within the boundaries of the District as
of July I following the action that resulted in the increase in the number of benefited lots, tracts,
or parcels, all as provided in Section 7-12-4162(3)(b), M.C.A.
The lien of the special assessments to pay or finance the costs of the Improvements will
not be extinguished or diminished by the combination or consolidation of multiple lots into fewer
lots and the area consisting of the combined or consolidated lot or lots will be assessed in an
amount equal to the amount it would have been assessed had the combination or consolidation of
lots not occurred.
The special assessments for the costs of the Improvements shall be payable over a term
not exceeding 20 years, each in equal semiannual installments of principal, plus interest, or equal
semiannual payments of principal and interest, as this City shall prescribe in the resolution
authorizing the issuance of the Bonds.
On July 16, 2012, at 7:00 p.m., in the City Hall Council Chambers, at 201 First Avenue
East, in Kalispell, Montana, the City Council will conduct a public hearing and pass upon all
written protests against the creation of the District or the making of Improvements that may be
filed in the period described below.
Written protests against the creation or extension of the District and the making of the
Improvements may be filed by any owner of real property within the proposed District whose
property is liable to be assessed for the Improvements. Such protests must be delivered to the
City Clerk at the City of Kalispell offices, 201 First Avenue East, Kalispell, Montana not later
than 5:00 p.m., M.T., on July 9, 2012. As provided by law, such protests must be in writing,
identify the property in the District owned by the protestor, and be signed by all owners of the
