Friends of Lawrence Park have requested time on the Agenda.
ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
Agenda Item 5-Ordinance 1236-Amend Ordinance 1166-Change
Method of Electing Council President -1st Reading
A few weeks ago the Council elected a new Council President by
secret ballot as set forth in S 2-4 of Ordinance 1166. Later
the Council discussed whether or not the election of the
President should be conducted viva voce as required in S 7-5-
4121, MCA. The City Attorney, based upon the consensus of the
Council, has prepared Ordinance No. 1236 for Council
consideration. If passed the Ordinance will apply
prospectively, only, and the Council will not be required to
re-elect the Council President.
Agenda Item 6-Resolution 4251-Re-Endorse Chamber of Commerce
as Agency for Montana Certified Cities Program
The Kalispell Area Chamber of Commerce has for several years
acted as a clearing house for information requests from
businesses desiring to locate or re -locate in the Kalispell
area. The program is administered by the Montana Department
of Commerce. The Chamber is in the process of renewing its
certification. A resolution from the Council is needed in
order to allow the Chamber to complete its application.

A copy of Resolution No. 4251 is contained in your packets for
consideration. Although the resolution was not discussed at
workshop, it is essentially a housekeeping matter.
Agenda Item 7 Rgsolution4252-Hendrickson-Amended Plat
Fred Hagal has made an application to amend the plat of Lot 3,
Hendrickson Addition No. 70, Kalispell. The land is located
along Grandview Lane, North of the Kalispell City Golf Course
and South of Juniper Bend. The amended plat is not subject to
review by the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning
Commission but has been recommended for approval by FRDO
subject to three conditions (Section I, 1,2,3; Resolution).
One matter I noticed was FRDO recommended approval of the plat
for two years. Previously, the Council has approved plats for
one or three years. State law allows plats to be approved for
up to three years with a one year extension. There has been
no consistency in the approval period. In approving this
amended plat the Council may wish to discuss setting a period
of time for approval of the plats which will be consistent.
Agenda Item 8-Resolution 4253-Opsand-Amended Plat
Donald Blasdel has made an application to amend the Amended
Plat of Lot 1, Opsand Addition No. 107, Kalispell. The
property is located at Three Mile Drive and Garland Street.
Again, FRDO has recommended approval of the plat subject to
three conditions (Section I, 1,2,3; Resolution).
N
Also, the approval period runs for two years.
Agenda Item 7-Street Tree Commission Re -Appointment
Contained in your packet is a memo from Mike Baker, Director
of Parks and Recreation, recommending the re -appointment of
Bill Wright, Patrick Thomas and Bette Albright to the Street
Tree Commission. It would be appropriate to re -appoint the
three members.
BUSINESS FROM MANAGER
Agenda Item 10-KGA Fees
Included in your packets are two documents: 1) A Schedule of
Fees 1996, attached to a proposed lease from the KGA and 2) A
letter from Stephen Dunfee containing a Proposed Fee Schedule
for 1996. The two documents are different in that one
recommends a $325.00 adult season membership and green fees of
$28.00 and $13.00 and the other recommends a $300.00 adult
membership and a "Value Season" discount for green fees. I
have contacted Steve Dunfee at the Golf Course and requested
his presence to explain the variation to the Council.
Agenda Item 11-Authority to Bid-Opticom Installation
The City is in the process of purchasing "Opticom" equipment
from the 3M Company. The equipment will allow fire and
ambulance crews to control traffic lights at nine locations in
5
Kalispell from their vehicles when responding to calls. The
equipment will be located at Idaho & Main, Sunset and Wyoming,
1st Avenue West and 4th Street West, Idaho and 3rd Avenue
East, Idaho and 4th Avenue East, Idaho and 7th Avenue East,
Idaho and 5th Avenue West, Idaho and North Meridian, and Hwy
93 and 18th Street. The equipment is being purchased through
MDOT and is the only equipment the MDOT will allow to be
installed. The Public Works Department has prepared the plans
and specifications for the installation of the Opticom system
because it is anticipated that the cost may exceed $25,000.00.
Staff recommends that the Council authorize the advertisement,
so PWD can call for bids.
