ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS
Aggnda..Item 6-Ordinance 1234-Wallace Zone Change -1st Reading
A request from Mr. and Mrs. Chris Wallace for a zone change of
their property from R-1 to R-4 was the subject of a public
hearing at the Planning Board November 14, 1995. The 1-lot
property is located on the south side of Sunnyside Drive where
6th Avenue West ends. There was no opposition to the request
during the hearing. The Planning Board voted to approve the
zone change request. Staff agrees with the Board's
recommendation.
Agenda Item 7-Ordinance 1235-Street Name Change -1st Reading
Roger Gussner of 1508 Greendale Drive has petitioned the City to
change the name of his street. Mr. Gussner has indicated the
change is necessary because his mail is often misdirected to
Greendale Court then returned, service -delivery people have a
difficult time locating his residence and he is the only
3
residence on the street and it is fully developed. Mr. Gussner
has suggested the name be changed to Rogers Drive. Our Public
Works Staff has reviewed the request and determined it to be
consistent with our street naming guidelines and recommends
approval.
Agenda Item 8-Resolution 4246-Woods Annexation and Zone Change
Gene Woods has petitioned the City for annexation and zoning for
a parcel of property they own which is located approximately 200
feet south of Sunnyside Drive where 6th Avenue West ends. The
Planning Board held a public hearing on this request November
14, 1995. No one spoke in opposition to the request and the
Planning Board voted in favor of the request including a zoning
designation of R-1.
Agenda Item 9-Resolution 4247-Dispose of Property to School
District 5
The purpose of this resolution is to authorize the City to
transfer ownership of Lots 7, 8, 9 and 12 of Block 186 and Lot
5 of Block 187 of Kalispell Addition to School District 5. This
completes the City's high school parking lot improvement
project.

Agenda Item 10-Amend Personnel Policy -Add Drug and Alcohol
Testing
The purpose of this resolution is to amend the City's Personnel
Policy by adding a new section related to drug and alcohol
testing for City employees possessing a Commercial driver's
license. As you know the United States Department of
Transportation is mandating this change by requiring all
employers with employees working in safety sensitive positions
requiring a Commercial driver's license to be subject to random
alcohol and drug testing. As we discussed with you at the work
session -we have about 37 employees who will be subject to the
testing. Police and Fire Department personnel are exempt from
the testing requirement.

Agenda Item 13-Schedule Public Hearing -Teton Terrace Preliminary
Plat
We are requesting Council authority to schedule a public hearing
January 2, 1996 for the Teton Terrace preliminary plat.
Agenda Item 14-Bid Recommendation -Woodland Park Phase II Trail
{- Improvements
Included in your packet is a memo from Mike Baker outlining the
results of the recent bid opening for the Woodland Park
D.R.E.A.M. Trail project. This project will be funded 80%
federal (ISTEA) and 20% City. The bids range from a low of
$44,703.85 (NuPac) to a high of $65,193.00 (Sandon). We are
requesting an award to NuPac in the amount of $44,703.85. Our
budget is short $7,756.00 to fully fund the project, however we
have the ability under the ISTEA Program to request an
additional 20% of the engineer's estimate ($55,484.00) which
will make
up $6,204.00 of
the shortfall and make up
the City's
share of
$1,551.00 from
money left over from the
playground
equipment purchase.
A
Agenda Item 15-Adopt "Which Way Kalispell" Report
You have previously been presented with a summary report on the
goals and priorities resulting from the second "Which Way
Kalispell" workshop. We have now been requested by the Kalispell
Development Corporation to take some formal action recognizing
the goals and objectives established as a result of the process.
It is my recommendation that Council by motion accept the report
as published and commit to consider the projects included in the
report at your annual goal setting session.
