The Kalispell Parking Division came
under control of the Kalispell Police
Department in January 2012. Prior to
2012, the Parking Division was under the
Kalispell Parking Commission. The
Kalispell Parking Commission has now
become the Parking Advisory Board.
The Parking DIVLsion has a current
annual Budget of $135,729.

FY 2013 revenues:

$113,393
Projected deficit based on'
average revenues:
Current budget $1359729
FY2014 projected revenues $116,636
Projected deficit $ 199093*
*Includes onetime meter purchase (would
be $11,093 without meter purchase)
Parking Division Budget Concerns;
Budget overages are covered by the
Kalispell Police Department.
Overages can result in less training,
overtime, equipment and police
manpower (vacancy savings).
Kalispell Parking Division M&O is predicted to
be over budget by approximately 39 % ($11,07 1)
this year!
Mostly due to inadequate Snow Removal budget
line item.
Snow Removal includes plowing/removing snow
from lots and adjacent sidewalks.
Snow MUST be plowed/removed from parking
lots/sidewalks since citizens are paying for
parking service (liability issues also).
Snow Removal Budget
FY 2014 Snow Removal expenses
(to date)
$ 69000
$18,106*
*Does not count $1, 089 still owed to Public
Works for removing snow from three parking
lots.

$ 7,232
$ 8,926

$ 8,407
$23,487
Averacre $14,515
Secondary Concern:
Lot Maintenance
Includes: sweeping, striping/painting,
pruning, garbage pick-up, filling pot holes,
etc.
Lot Maintenance Budget
Cost of sweeping/stri ing
(all lots once annually
Pruning/garbage pick-up
Filling Pot Holes
$6,500
$6,696
$2,000
Proposal
Increase Snow Removal and Lot
Maintenance budgets to adequately
account for realistic expenditures.
Snow Remo
Increase budget to $17,500
Snow levels are unpredictable:
Five year range is $7,232 - $24,023
Average is $14,515
Lot Maintenance:
Increase budget to $10,000
Allow for:
Sweeping and striping every year
Pruning and garbage pick-up
Filling of pot holes and pavement repair
Proposed way to offset cost of
budget increases:
Increase metered parking from
$0.25/hour to $0.50/hour
Metered parking generates
approximately $14, 100 annually (5-year
average).
Increasing fee by $0.25/hour could
generate up to an additional $14,000
annually.
Parking survey for other similar
Montana amities:
Metered parking rates range from
$0.50/hour to $1.00/hour in downtown
areas; some even have 2-hour restriction.
Kalispell has not raised metered parking
fees for ????
Options?
Option 1
Maintain the service as it is now with
keeping parking budget the same:
Leave budget line item as is
Parking operations overages covered by the
Police Department
Limited Maintenance being performed
(sweeping, striping, pruning, potholes,
garbage, etc.)
Metered fees remain at $0.25/hour
General fund continues to subsidize about
$11, 000 annually for division
Option 2
Maintain/improve service increasing
parking budget without increasing fees:
Increase snow removal and maintenance
budget
Overages in parking not covered from police
budget
Leave metered parking fees at $0.25/hour
Increase funding from general fund for
deferred maintenance activities and larger
snow removal budget
General fund subsidy increases to
approximately $26, 000
Option 3 (Recommended) A
Increase the level of service in parking and law
enforcement activities by increasing meter fees to
increase current budget line items.
Increase snow removal and lot maintenance line items to
adequate levels
Reduce police department impacts from budget covering
shortages in current budgeted parking line item accounts
Increase sweeping, striping and other maintenance in
parking lots
Maintain level of parking enforcement and customer service
Increase metered parking rate to $0.50/hour to offset
increased budget line items
General fund subsidy remains as it currently is (about
$11, 000)
Option 4
Decrease service level in proportion to
current coverage from police
department.
Leave budget line items as is
Reduce police department impacts from
covering parking overruns
Eliminate all lot maintenance
OR
Scale back hours of parking division
employees (less monitoring and less customer
service)
Option 5
Increase the level of service in parking and law enforcement
activities by increasing metered fees, raising permit fees
and/or increasing parking fines.
Removal of subsidy from general fun would allow for funds to be
redistributed in other general fund activities
Increase snow removal and maintenance budget line items to
adequate levels
Increase striping, sweeping, and other maintenance in parking
lots
Maintain level of parking enforcement and customer service
Increase metered parking to $0.50/hour to increase budget line
items
Increase parking permit fees by $3/month per permit (300
permits @$36/year) to offset general fund deficit
OR
Increase parking fines by approximately 30% general fund deficit
OR
Combination of increased permit fees and increased parking fines
