ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS Resolution 4243-Intent to Convey Property to School District # 5 During the last year the City 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 Council will have a final resolution to consider which will authorize conveyance of the property. Larson moved Resolution 4243, a resolution of intention to dispose of certain real property owned by the City of Kalispell by transferring said property to Flathead School District No. 5, pursuant to Sections 7-8-101 and 7-8-4201, MCA.

Thickener 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 Public Works Department wants to requestproposals from qualified general contractors in the valley to remove failed coatinq 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 Public Works Department 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. There was discussion. Kennedy moved Resolution 4245, a resolution declaring an emergency and authorizing the Public Works Department to proceed, without advertisement or bidding, for repairs to the gravity thickener at the Waste Water Treatment Plant. The motion was seconded. The motion carried upon roll call vote.
