Re: Resolution Establishing Parking Rates
Meeting Date: June 2, 2014
BACKGROUND: At the work session on April 28, 2014, staff presented information related
to forecasted revenues and expenditures, and policy components for the operation and
maintenance of downtown parking. Additionally, staff presented service level options related to
these respective municipal activities.
The presentation identified challenges within downtown parking in respect to covering costs of
annual maintenance and snow removal activities. It was also identified that revenues were not at
a level to provide capital improvements in the future for the parking lots.
The presentation from that night is attached to this memo.
During the work session, Council provided staff guidance to move forward with increasing meter
rates from $0.25/hr to $0.50 /hr. Council also guided staff to review an increase of three dollars
per monthly parking permits as a means to generate additional revenue for the maintenance of
the facilities.
It is estimated that these increases would generate an additional $24,000 for the parking
maintenance and enforcement program, and would be enough to cover the costs of these
activities. This increase will not cover the costs of capital improvements, which will be an item
of continued discussion as we look at the downtown area as a whole and identify long range
planning associated with it.
The parking advisory board has reviewed these rates and recommends moving forward with the
increases (see the attached letter).
Council has previously passed an ordinance establishing the rate setting authority for parking
with the City, which previously existed with the Parking Commission.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed rate structure is estimated to generate $24,000 that
would be used for the maintenance and operation of the downtown parking program.
ALTERNATIVES: Council may elect to amend or deny the proposed resolution and provide
staff additional guidance.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended Council adopt the Resolution 5674
establishing rates for downtown parking as identified in Exhibit "A."
RESOLUTION NO. 5676
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING OFFSTREET PARKING FEES WITHIN THE CITY OF
KALISPELL PURSUANT TO THE POWERS GRANTED TO MUNICIPAL
GOVERNMENTS BY THE MONTANA CONSTITUTION ARTICLE XI SECTION 4, MCA
7-5-4101 AND MCA 7-1-4124 AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH KALISPELL CITY
ORDINANCE NO. 1738 AND SETTING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City of Kalispell is a municipality of the state of Montana with powers afforded to
it pursuant to the Montana Constitution Article XI Section 4, MCA 7-5-4101 and
MCA 7-1-4124 and it is therefore consistent with this authority that the City regulate
its off-street parking including the setting of fees; and
WHEREAS, on May 19, 2014 the City Council passed Ordinance No. 1738 on second reading in
which it assumed the statutory authority of the previously decommissioned Kalispell
Parking Commission; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the City, its citizens and its visiting public that vehicular
parking within the city, both on -street and off-street, be regulated in such a manner
that the costs of providing such parking be primarily paid for through receipt of
parking fees and fines; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the parking fee structure set forth in "Exhibit A" attached
hereto establishes fair off-street parking fees that will contribute to the necessary
revenue to defray the costs of providing the current level of service for such off-street
parking to the public.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KALISPELL AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. It is hereby resolved by the City Council of the City of Kalispell that the off-

City Manager Russell,
On 5-8-14 the Kalispell Parking Advisory Board met to further discuss funding
options for Kalispell's parking division. On the heels of potentially raising metered fees
from $0.25/hour to $.50/hour, the board discussed raising more revenue through
increasing fines, permit fees, and/or raising metered fees more than the current
proposal.
The board unanimously agreed that raising permit fees by $3.00/month would
be an acceptable means of raising additional revenue to bring the division to or close to
sustainability for operating costs. The board also unanimously opposed raising the
metered fees more than $0.50/hour.
The Parking Advisory Board would be interested in meeting with yourself and the
city council to discuss these issues further.
