RESOLUTION NO. 4729
A RESOLUTION TO LEVY THE COST OF REMOVAL OF GARBAGE OR OTHER
OFFENSIVE MATTER FROM STREETS, ALLEYS OR ON ANY PREMISES AS A
SPECIAL TAX AGAINST PROPERTY FROM WHICH SUCH MATTER WAS DEPOSITED,
AND THE DISPOSITION THEREOF.
WHEREAS, Section 7-14-4105 MCA, gives a City Council power to
provide for levying the cost of removal of garbage or
other offensive matter from streets, alleys, or any
premises as a special tax against that property from
which the same was deposited, the City Council deems such
a method more equitable and just than paying for such
removal from the General Fund of the City.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KALISPELL, MONTANA:
SECTION I. The assessments for removal of garbage or other
offensive matter for the year 2002-2003 are hereby estimated to be
$557,500.00 and the City Council finds that the cost of the removal
of garbage and other offensive matter from the various lots and
parcels of land within the city and benefitted by such removal is
the amount as shown by the records maintained in City Hall.
SECTION II. That the assessments charged are hereby established as
follows:
(a) $85.00 per average single family residential
dwelling unit on one or more contiguous city
lots per year;
