A RESOLUTION SETTING A DATE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON A PROPOSAL TO ADOPT
AN INCREASE TO THE ASSESSMENTS ON REAL PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY OF

MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO.1.
WHEREAS, the City of Kalispell, pursuant to the authority provided to it under MCA 7-12-4401 et seq.,
has established a street maintenance district known as Special Maintenance District No. 1,
for which real property within the city is assessed costs for the maintenance and operation
of the municipal street system; and
WHEREAS, a study of projected expenses and revenues of this maintenance district reveals that, because
of rising costs, the current assessment will not allow the city to continue to provide the
level of service to its street system that it has historically maintained; and
WHEREAS, the study further reveals that a programmed assessment increase over five years, as shown
in the table below, should maintain the level of service currently enjoyed by the users of the
city's street system through the fiscal year 2022/2023:
