The lots are intended for the exclusive use of the High School/School District No. 5 and it is appropriate that the City transfer ownership of the real property to the District for maintenance and liability purposes. Under S 7-8-101, MCA a city is given authority to convey real property to another governmental agency upon passage of a resolution of intention and giving notice of same. Resolution No. 4243 declares an intention to convey property converted to parking and sets a public hearing on December 18, 1995. At the December 18, 1995 meeting you will have a final resolution to consider which will authorize conveyance of the property.

The PWD wants to request proposals from qualified general contractors in the valley to remove failed coating from the gravity thickener and replace it with an epoxy substance. Because of the failure of the coating there is some concern that if the repairs are delayed the concrete walls may fail on the gravity thickener and further damage the operation of the sewer plant. Treating the waste water with alum to remove phosphorus, now accomplished in the gravity thickener, costs about $1,000 per week. Under S 7-5-4303, MCA the City is authorized to avoid advertisement and bidding of construction contracts if an emergency exists and the Council authorizes the procedure. Resolution 4245 describes the situation, declares an emergency and authorizes the PWD to proceed with repairs in an amount not to exceed $80,000. This amount is at the high end of the estimated repair cost, and hopefully the repairs may be less. fl None Scheduled. A Item 8-1st Street East/2nd Avenue East Imnrovement- Bruce Lutz at Sitescape Associates has submitted a proposal to finish the First Street/Woodland Park Connection Project. The proposal would involve the design, preparation of documents and construction inspection to complete the Woodland Park Connection as defined by the Which Way Kalispell.

Agenda Item 9-Bid Recommendations Police Cars Chief Clark has recommended acceptance of a bid submitted by Eisinger Motors for one 1996 police car with no trade for the amount of $21,465.59.
