Aaenda Item 2-Ordinance 1216-Salary-2nd Reading
The Salary Schedule for Department Heads, Supervisors and
Salaried Non -Union Employees has been adjusted upward by 7.6%
representing the cost of living increase for 1993 and 1994
(CPI-W, Western) according the U.S. Department of Labor. As
was noted in the February 6 memo, no employee receives a
salary increase merely because of the adoption of this
Ordinance.
Agenda Item 3-Ordinance 1216-Pack Zone Change -1st Reading
Ronnie and Margaret Pack have requested a zone change from RA-
1 to RA-2 on certain property they own South of Two Mile Drive
and West of Meridian Road. The matter was considered by the
City County Planning Board and Zoning Commission and received
no recommendation upon a tie vote. The primary concern of the
Commission was that the intent section of RA-2 states: "This
District is intended for central and inner-city use and not
for suburban use." However, according to the FRDO report the
Master Plan designates the property as "High Density
Residential". Therefore to zone the property RA-2 would be in
accordance with the Master Plan. The practical effect of
granting the zone change would be to allow almost a doubling
of the density permitted under RA-1.

Although the Staff does not believe it necessary, if the
Council does adopt the Ordinance, the Council may wish to
request a text amendment deleting reference to "central and
inner-city" under the intent language of the RA-2 zone.
Agenda Item 4-Resolution 4196-Meridian and Idaho Street
Improvements
This Resolution will authorize the City to enter into an
agreement with the MDOT to provide intersection improvements
at Meridian Road and Idaho Street. In accordance with the
Council's desires expressed at the February 13 Workshop the
contract will not include "improvements" at 1st Avenue West
and llth Street.
Agenda Item 5-Resolution 4197-Authorize Advertisement to Sell
Property at 705 7th Avenue West
During the latter part of 1994 the City acquired, through
foreclosure, a house located at 705 Seventh Avenue West. The
City's investment in the property totals $84,988.00. The
Resolution presented would authorize advertisement of the
property for sale. The City will not be selling the property
under the Redevelopment Law, and the Resolution actually
selling the property will take a 2/3 vote of the Council.

Agenda Item 6-Authority to Hire Appraiser forHavenField,
Airport Properties and those properties in the Run Way
Protection Protection Zone
In order to improve the Kalispell City Airport in accordance
with the Neighborhood Plan, it will be necessary to sell some
property owned by the City and purchase other properties. It
has been suggested that the Council sell Haven Field and the
Daly Ball Fields and use the proceeds of the sale to finance
Airport Improvements and relocate PeeWee and Girls Soft Ball
away from the Airport. Additionally, in accordance with FAA
regulations the City should acquire property near the City
Shops for a Run Way Protection Zone. In order to sell or buy
the needed property, or even to lease any property, the City
needs to have the subject parcels appraised so that long term
decisions can be made. If the Council approves the appraisals
the Manager and staff can proceed and hopefully have a plan
for implementation during the next budget year.
