Donahue S-7523 City Attorney Rockwood, Murray $ Donahue Law Firm 240 1st Avenue West Kalispell, Montana 5Q901 Re: Kalispell Golf Course expansion project (bridge) Dear Mr. Donahue: On February 5, 1975, you requested my opinion concerning the applicability of Section 32-2902, R.C.M. 1947, to tho planned expansion of the Kalispell Municipal Golf Course. Your inquiry presupposes several factors not immecli:iteiv apparent from your letter, and thus necessitated cnn�;idernhle investigation and research. This T feel has now been con, pleted so that ! might answer your iliquiry. 274 First, based upon knowledge obtained concerning this project and that made available by your letter, it appears that the preliminary plans referred to for this project in- clude the formal award of the construction contract.for a structure finally determined to be 12 feet by 70 feet, which structure is to span the Stillwater River and be used by pedestrian traffic, golf carts and maintenance equipment owned by the sponsoring Kalispell Golf Association. It further appears that the material for this structure has been ordered by the contractor and that work is schedules} to begin .immedi- ately because of weather and run-off factors. This structure is admittedly not intended by project personnel to be a "public bridge", nor is it intended that it is a bridge "necessary ' to be constructed....." within the meaning of the law. The question of maintenance is not raised because of the nature of the project, Secondly, in reaching the conclusion as hereinafter stated, it becomes apparent that the word "bridge" as con- templated by your letter, and its reference to the above - referenced statute, presupposes the existence of a road which when coupled with a "bridge over a natural stream" serves to continue a public thoroughfare for the convenience - of the traveling public. This is not the case with the project structure here- discussed. There are no dedicated roadways within the confines of the Kalispell Municipal Golf Course, nos are any such roads planned. The use contemplated for this structure will facilitate only the completion of rounds of golf and the maintenance of the golf course itself. Finally, it appears that the questi-ons raised by your letter have been rendered moot by the action of the City Council in allowing the planned construction to be moved for- ward by way of the contract award. I believe that the -City pf Kalispell is committed to the project and of necessity is precluded from raising the issues posed by your request. It is for this reason that I decline to reach the problem of funding. - Therefore, in view of the foregoing, and the fact that I believe that it is apparent that Section 32-2902, R.C.M. 1947, does not apply to this .project or the fact situation as you have presented it to me, I respectfully decline to render a formal opinion or make further inquiry to the Office of the Attorney General. If there are any questions remaining, please feel free to contact this office. Very truly yours, O-PF OF THE COUNTY ATTORNEY Flathea County] ntana D /t a riiC pringer✓ County At orney cc: City of Kalispell County Commissioners Forrest Daley _ Kalispell Golf Association PMS/bb Assistant Attorney Kauffman said that in view of the letter from the County Attorney and his opinion concerning the bridge, the city may now proceed with the bridge.
