Duane Larson Ward IV 2 ADDRESSING THE COUNCIL Agenda Item 4-Addressing the Council 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. 3 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.
