We have been informed that our two requested positions have not been selected for grant funding. At the work session on Monday night, we will review what our options are for these positions and the respective grant program. We will also update council on recent trends in law enforcement within the community of Kalispell. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council review the information and provide staff direction.
