Mayor & City Council of Kalispell
City Hall
Kalispell MT 59901
Dear Mayor & Council:
I am writing to you requesting a support letter from the city of Kalispell Mayor and council
members.
We have progressed in our endeavor to construct a multi purpose arena in the area of the
Flathead Valley Community College, to the point were we are now negotiating financing for the
project. We need a very strong letter from the council favoring such a project. If the council can
see fit to offer financial help for the infra structure it would make the project more viable.
The financial impact on the community would be like having ten fair weeps a year as we
anticipate around 400,000 people will use our facility yearly. We estimate that we will employ
around 100 construction workers for a year. We will employ approximately 40 full time and 100
part time employees after construction is complete.
I loop forward to your favorable reply.
Sincerely,
Far McPeek

In response to your inquiry about the City's position concerning
Warcill
an auditorium, convention center, or public complex that will
house a variety of events for the public, I wish to state ty
Dale
WardFilaarr
personal opinion.
Jim Atkinson
The City of Kalispell is located in Montana in an area that is
Wardlll
rapidly growing and is in need of a facility that can be used
Lauren Granmo
for multiple purposes by the public. There is currently a level
Ward III
of interest, at least from a group of local people, as well as
a potential investor that could make this need/vision become a
Pamela B. Kennedy
Ward IV
reality. Concerts, banquets, rodeos, hockey, etc. are all
beneficial to the quality of life that Kalispell can offer.
M. Duane Larson
'his is a need that, if fulfilled, can improve our standing,
Ward IV
ompetitiveness, and environmental quality to attract more
"growth of residents and business.
From my professional opinion, however, I believe the multi
purpose center, to flourish and survive, must be organized,
built, and operated entirely by the private sector. Public
sector dollars support and active participation may be the "Kiss
of Death" for private support. We, as the City, cannot
actively support (economically) any of the building costs,
infrastructure or operations due to the "ever tightening noose"
on our budget.
Good luck, and if you have any further questions, please do not
hesitate to give me a call.
Respectfully,
Clarence W. Kre ps
City Manager
