School District * 5
During the last year the City has purchased certain lots near
the High School and constructed two parking lots for the use
of the High School in furtherance of an urban renewal plan.
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.

At the last workshop the City Manager distributed a memo from
John Wilson discussing needed repairs to the gravity thickener
at the waste water treatment plant. 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.

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. A motion to
approve the contract will enable the Manager to sign the
contract with Mr. Lutz.
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. A motion to authorize the purchase
would be in order.
Dump Truck
David Holst, PWD, has recommended award of the dump truck bid
to Northwest Peterbuilt for a Ford Chassis/Heil Dump Body, for
the amount of $67,140. Additionally, PWD has recommended the
addition of hydraulic equipment necessary for the
installation, later, of snow plow and sanding mechanisms.
