4. Hearing of the Public:
Bill Goodman (KM Building owner) attended the meeting to express his concern over the parking crisis
in downtown Kalispell. His building is at capacity and he is to the point of losing tenants due to the lack
of parking. He is currently seeking parking for approximately 16 of his tenants. Bill suggested
converting some of the parking on the eastside of Central School Museum to permit parking. Half of this
area has 9-hour meters and the other half is 2-hour parking. The Advisory Board made the
recommendation that the 2-hour parking in front of the museum be converted to permit parking. Parking
would be on a first come first serve basis. Captain Rademacher will make the recommendation to Chief
Nasset and Doug Russell. It would also have to go before City Council.
5. Approval of Financial Statements of November and December 2014:
Moved by Joel, second Janet.
6. Updates from City Parking:
Captain Rademacher provided an update on snow removal. We had snow removed from five of the lots
that we are responsible for, for a total of $4,180.00. We have $7,477.00 remaining in our snow removal
budget. These lots were done first because they are strictly permit and the snow piles are affecting
parking spaces and safety. The Keno Lot will be the next to have the snow removed. The Eagles and
Valley Bank Lots still have room as they are a combination of permit and meter/machine spaces.
