Re: Kalispell Chamber of Commerce/TBID Pond Hockey Review and
Discussion
Meeting Date: April 13, 2015
BACKGROUND: Earlier this year, the Kalispell Convention and Visitor bureau held the
Kalispell Pond Hockey Invitational at Woodland Park. The Woodland Park site was used when
weather conditions at Foy’s Lake impeded the ability to hold the event at the originally planned
site.
The location inside the City of Kalispell demonstrated some advantages as a host site for the
event and brings forth the potential for hosting the Pond Hockey tournament in future years at
Woodland Park.
At the work session on Monday, representatives from the Chamber of Commerce and Tourism
Business Improvement District will be present to have a discussion with Council to review the
event this past year and to explore possible options for next year’s event, including options for
review of the request for alcohol at designated locations at Woodland Park.

Re: Fee Schedule for Parks and Recreation
Meeting Date: April 13, 2015
BACKGROUND: Periodically, the City Council reviews and updates the fee schedule for
Parks and Recreation activities and reservation fees. This past winter, the department began
analyzing the fee schedule to bring an update to the council for a spring/summer review. With
the special event discussion scheduled for this work session, it is a good opportunity to review
the proposed fee schedule.
As it has been several years since this has been completed, our Parks and Recreation Department
has been analyzing activity costs for our recreation programs and comparing that to our
estimated revenues to identify the break-even point. Additionally, we sampled other
communities with like activities to review their respective fees. We also made comments as to
additional considerations that may be of value when setting fees, such as an overriding
community benefit.
Included with this memo is a table with our activities’ estimated break-even point, market
sampling information, relevant information, and current and proposed fees (both in-city and out-
of-city).
Additionally, a fee schedule for park reservations is also included. This schedule is our current
rate structure and does not include any adjustments, but will be presented at the same time as the
activity fees for adoption.
At the work session, we will review the fees and the basis for their recommendation.
