RE: Status Report
1) This office has finished entering the Kalispell City
Code into the computer and has begun the process of
reviewing the Code. The first step in the procedure
will be to recommend to Council an ordinance or series
of ordinances repealing certain parts of the Code. So
far the list of repealing Ordinances include several
sections under animals and fowl, fire zones, Firemen's
disability and pension funds, all licensing
ordinances, and several sections in the offense
portion of the code. Many sections of the existing
Code have been supplanted by State law or are archaic.
I anticipate that within the next 60 days the Council
will be receiving a list of sections needing repealed.
Once the repealing ordinances are adopted by the
Council, we will publish an updated Code and begin the
process of amending sections to conform to State law
and the modern needs of the City. After discussing
the matter in house and investigating publishing
companies that offer codification assistance, I
determined that the City would receive a better
product, at less cost, by doing the work in house.
2) I believe that the Council was informed at the January
23 workshop that the City staff had recalculated the
Evergreen sewer rate for 1995. Based upon actual
costs and actual flows over the last 6 months
Evergreen Water and Sewer owes the City $16,859.63 for
treatment since July 1994. The new rate calculation
works out to be $1.81 per thousand gallons. I believe
the basic calculations and letter from Amy Robertson
to Evergreen is included in the Council packets for
this week.
3) As I indicated in a previous memo to you the Council,
the City and Swank were involved in a dispute over the
amount of sewer/water connection fees on the Courtyard
Apartment project. Swank had demanded arbitration.

After several telephone conversations with Swank's attorney, I
indicated that I didn't think that Swank had a very strong case
demanding a change order based upon his accounting; however, I
further indicated that it would probably cost the City $1, 500.00 to
arbitrate the matter and offered that amount to settle the dispute.
On January 25, I sent a letter to Swank's attorney offering the
amount in settlement. The next day Swank countered with a
$2,000.00 figure. I determined that it was probably in the City's
interest to settle on the $2,000.00 and advised Swank to submit a
claim. You will find in the claims this week a letter from Jane
Mitchell, Attorney for Swank, requesting $2,000.00.
4 ) I have had a couple of phone conversations with people who are
concerned about the current situation at the Kalispell City
Golf Course. One individual called threatening a lawsuit if
the City required the Golf Association to tier the membership.
I informed this individual that although I had not researched
the matter, I could not say that a tiered rate at the Golf
Course would be held to be illegal discrimination, thereby
threatening the Association's tax-free status. From a
subsequent conversation with Marshall Murray, it is my
understanding that the Association's decision not to tier the
rate is not based on the illegality of a tiered rate but on
the fact that a tiered rate may require the Association to
refile for tax-exempt status, and the Association's past
financial condition may lead to a denial by the IRS.
5) On Thursday, February 2, Bruce and I had a lengthy
conversation with Bill Boharski regarding the legislation (SB
52) presented by John Harp. I am sure Bruce will brief the
Council more fully than I can here but I believe the chances
of SB 52, as well as some other legislation regarding
annexation, passing is good. It is unfortunate that
legislation affecting all cities in Montana in the future has
been offered to resolve a local dispute. Whether or not
members of the Council agree with the annexation of the
Evergreen Strip, I believe we should all question the exercise
of legislative power to settle a provincial controversy.
6) During the month of January, this office conducted 65 pre -
trials, 26 non -jury trials and one jury trial in City Court.

DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING & ZONING
COMMENTS FOR MONTH OF JANUARY, 1995
Building Activi
Mild weather has allowed construction to run ahead of what would normally be
experienced during January. Not only were permits issued for six new single family
homes but work continued on other residential, multi -family and commercial projects.
With the cooperation of the weather there is a lot of construction going on and a lot of
support is being provided by the Building Department.
Zoning:
Due to lack of applications, no Board of Adjustment meeting was held in January.
Four sign permits were issued during this month.
The zoning administrator concentrated his time on the Extension of Services Plan
during January.
Personnel:
Joel Scallen will be leaving the building department sometime in February. Joel was
hired as a temporary inspector and had previously worked in the county building
department. His replacement, Mr. Rick Cockrell, has been hired. Rick is a Certified
Building Inspector and also previously worked in the county building department.
General:
Annette spent a great deal of time collecting and processing prepaid sewer connection
fees. Although the rush to beat the deadline for the fee increase has ended, I am still
hopeful that the public works will assume responsibility for calculation and collection
of their fees.

Kalispell Fire Department Monthly Report
January 1, through January 31, 1995.
Bruce Williams, City Manager
Doug Rauthe, Mayor
City Council Members
The Kalispell Fire Department responded to 13 fire calls for the
month of January 1995. One of the fire calls was a "General
Alarm", a fire large enough to call in all off -duty firefighters.
The "General Alarm" fire was a garage fire on January 29th, located
at 310 4th A.E.. The fire started after the owner had just started
the wood stove in the garage and some sparks from the stove ignited
some dried flower arrangements stored near the stove. The fire did
extensive damage to the garage and storage in the garage. There
was also a vehicle in the garage that was completely destroyed.
The Ambulances made 137 runs for the month of January 1995.

Brush Program", this period. The Kalispell Firefighters (no tax
payer money), bought the brushes and rods to be loaned to any one
who needs to clean their chimney.
There were two groups of Cub Scouts that toured the fire station
during Janaury 1995. A total of 17 students and 5 adults
participated in the tours.
