Box 1997 Kalispell, Montana 59903-1997 (406) 758-7757 Fax (406) 758-7758 FROM: Chad Fincher, Director, Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: Begg Park Dog Park — South Kalispell Urban Renewal District MEETING DATE: February 27, 2017 BACKGROUND: The City and Paws to Play (a volunteer fundraising organization), have been working together to coordinate the options for a dog park in Kalispell's city limits. After consideration of available sites, it has been determined that Begg Park is the best suited site within the current city park system. On January 25, Parks and Recreation held an open house on the creation of a dog park at Begg Park. We mailed 779 letters on January 12, informing nearby property owners of the open house to discuss the proposed dog park. In attendance at the open house were 6 representatives from Paws to Play and 11 neighborhood citizens. Topics of discussion included: concerns with parking and traffic congestion during ball games, city insurance approval, design issues, use of underutilized land, and loss of parkland in the area. Since the open house we have received approximately 14 letters and/or email responses, of which there was 1 in opposition and 13 in favor of the dog park. On January 26, we sent the proposed dog park design and location to MMIA for their review. Their review didn't find any design concerns or liability on a dog park at this location. City staff has developed a plan for fencing, site work and amenities for the first phase of construction of an approximate 3'/z acre dog park at Begg Park. The first phase of construction would include fencing, a drainage system/water feature to divert surface water, concrete disbursement slabs at the bullpen entrances, irrigation and landscaping. It is estimated this work will cost $49,935. To date Paws to Play has fundraised towards installation of supporting amenities such as benches, doggie waste stations, and signage. Staff is requesting that council consider utilizing tax increment finance district funding to complete construction of the first phase of the dog park. FISCAL IMPACT: Approximately $49,935 of South Kalispell Urban Renewal Plan Tax Increment funding would be needed for the construction of the first phase of the dog park. This funding would be used for expenses related to the drainage system, fencing, bridges, concrete disbursement slabs at entrances, irrigation modifications and landscaping. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council hear the presentation and discuss the use of Begg park for this purpose and provide staff direction in relation to the option.

I have been a dog owner/lover for many years, our last being a Lab/Chesapeake cross who died of cancer at the age of eleven. Besides my comments I also wanted to share two web -sites which I found especially helpful in considering the pros/cons regarding dog parks: http://www.pedigree.com/All-Things-Dog/Article-Library/Pros-cons-of-dog-parks.aspx https://apdt.com/pet-owners/dog-park/pros-and-cons/ In short, my vote would be against any decision to alter Begg Park to include a dog park. I believe a park such as this should not be surrounded by homes. The dog -park in Helena is fabulous, just behind Carol College it borders a its complex - no residential homes in sight (or ear shot). Check it out, maybe it could serve as a model for Kalispell? I couldn't help but notice while reading from one of the web -sites mentioned above, a long (very long in fact) list of things that dog owners should be knowledgeable of and doing when they visit such a park. Here are two examples: • If you know your dog has aggressive tendencies, don't bring him to an off -leash park. There are plenty of other ways to exercise him. At the very least, muzzle him and avoid pronged collars. • Keep a watchful eye on un-neutered male dogs and make sure they aren't harassing other dogs. Who will be responsible for enforcing these and the many other recommendations that are made by dog professionals who give these and other warnings? I can tell you the answer to that question... This is the closest park for my wife and I to take our grandchildren. 1 believe the motto for all existing parks in Kalispell should be: "PEOPLE and families first". Could a dog park be a consideration when acquisition to a new piece of land comes along in the future? As our community grows could this be a priority for use of tax revenues if a genuine interest continues? I believe the introduction of a dog park should be in a new area situated away from existing residences. If you do this, and new home development then comes subsequent to the park, the people buying homes in such an area will be able to weigh that into their planning, not unlike we considered the existence of the city airport when we purchased our home on Teal Drive. It's good that Paws -to -Play have fundraised for a few benches, several poo-bag stations, and signs. While that is helpful I'm sure, fencing three acres and some of the water issues to be addressed will cost'big dollars' by comparison to that. Has our elected council members ever considered asking the people to whom the open house - forum letters were sent for their input how they might like to see $30 - 50,000 or more used to improve Begg Paris and see what response might come back from a letter like that? It's another way of going about collecting data from the people... Who knows what good ideas you might come from the people already living in this neighborhood, such as myself and my wife? I hope you move cautiously on this one, and thank you for considering my perspective on the matter. Sincerely, Peter P.

As a 20+ year resident of Kalispell, always having 2-3 dogs in our family, it would enrich all of our lives to have this as a local outdoor off -leash activity option. This park speaks to the love of nature and animals that is embodied in our area by so many.

Since I live in Somers, a trip to Whitefish for my dog has been a limited affair. I believe I have only taken her a total of three times. I work at the Visitor Center at the Chamber of Commerce on the weekends during the summer. You would not believe the number of tourists that come in to ask where they can take their dog and just let them run and play without a leash. I have no other alternative but to give them directions to the dog park in Whitefish. I am hoping this summer I will be able to give them directions to Begg Park instead!!! Please vote to build Kalispell a beautiful dog park. I have no doubt the community of dog lovers in this area will rally behind you!! !

Kalispell, MT 59901 Dear Ms. Brunkhorst, My name is Lawrence Brabham. I'm writing in regard to the proposed dog park in Kalispell, that I understand to be potentially installed in Begg Park, across from the Lakers Field on Begg Park Drive. I have come to understand that there have been some concerns regarding the proposal, and wanted to write to address yourself and the City Council as I believe very strongly that our community could benefit very much from a community dog park, and I know that I myself and a great deal of people I have spoken to are thrilled at the prospect and are very hopeful that it comes to fruition. As a long time resident in that housing development off of Airport road, in homes on South Meadows Dr and Merganser, I have watched the development grow from just a few homes over the last twenty years. During that time, I have always noted that Begg Park has been quite underutilized, with generally very few visitors. I can think of no better purpose to revamp the land and to make better use than a dog park. As dog owner, I can certainly extol the virtues of having a place to take our animals to get some exercise in a friendly and controlled environment. As a father, I can tell you that in the constant struggle to get my children unglued from their electronics and outside for some fresh air and exercise, the dog park is one destination that I rarely get an argument from them on. It's a fantastic place to take the family and spend happy quality time. To that end, we have been in the habit of making the approximately 36 mile round trip to Wag Park in Whitefish at least once or twice a month. Having one locally in our town would be such a blessing. The caliber of dog owners that are concerned enough with their pets well being to take them to the park are almost overwhelmingly generally very conscientious in general, and very good about containing their pets and cleaning up after them. A short amount of time spent at Wag Park can show you that no concerns need to be had regarding any detrimental effects to the surrounding neighborhood. There is no situation I can think of in which a dog park would not be a wonderful addition to our community. I would be happy to do anything needed to help support it. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Lawrence Brabham 1126 4th St W.

The KBID was established to promote the success of downtown Kalispell and is funded and directed by the property owners of downtown Kalispell. These efforts include beautification, downtown events, marketing, social media, fagade improvements and working with the City of Kalispell and other organizations to represent property owners. To establish a district per Montana Code Annotated (MCA) 7-12-1111, property owners of at least 60% of the land area within the proposed boundaries must petition the City for the creation of the district. Since business owners representing 62.84% of the land area within the proposed district submitted petitions to establish the business improvement district with the expanded boundaries, Council passed Resolution 5793 on December 19, 2016 per MCA 7-12-1112. Resolution 5793 stated Council intention to consider the establishment of the district, called for the public hearing to be held January 17, 2017, and caused notice of the hearing to be published and mailed to all business property owners in the proposed district. Business property owners were notified that they may file a protest with the City against the formation of the district and that the protest must be received within 15 days of the first publication and mailing. Per MCA 7- 12-1.114, if the total protests filed amounted to any of the following percentages the Council could take no further action upon the proposed district for one year. (a) more than 50% of the total taxable valuation of property within proposed district; or (b) more than 50% of the property owners in the proposed district; or (c) more than 50% of the total projected assessments for property within the proposed district. Aggregating the protests received resulted in the following percentages: (a) 12.87% of the total taxable valuation of property within the proposed district; (b) 10.67% of the property owners in the proposed district; (c) 12.27% of the total projected assessments for property within the proposed district. Staff considered all protests received in the above calculations, even those protests not received until after the official protest close date per state code. The sum of all protests received did not reach the 50% protest threshold. Therefore during the February 6, 2017 City Council meeting, staff placed consideration of a Resolution before Council to establish the Kalispell Downtown Business Improvement District with the boundaries set forth in the petitions and included in the Resolution of Intention 5793. An approved motion and vote during the agenda approval process of the February 6, 2017 meeting removed this item from the agenda and placed it on a subsequent work session. Per motion instructions, this item is now before the council for further discussion. RECOMMENDATION: Discuss the establishment of a Downtown Business Improvement District pursuant to the terms of Title 7, Chapter 12, Part 11 of Montana Code Annotated.

O. Box 1997 Ll . �, .. Kalispell Mt. 59903 (406) 253-6923 DOWI'� TOWh1 www.downtownkalispell.com Jrlu Mayor Mark Johnson and City Councilors, This letter and the attached information is an attempt to clear up a few items that were brought up at the public hearing and in a few letters. BUDGET The BID receives an ongoing budget each month that is reviewed by the BID Board of Directors. We do not receive a monthly list of accounts payable entries but all invoices are reviewed and authorized by a Board member. Further, • The BID budget is developed and authorized by the BID Board (who are all property owners) as per Montana Code. • The BID budget is sent to the Council for adoption within your budget. • The entire BID budget/expenditures are audited annually along with all of your departments. Assessments are received by the county and then sent to the city where the funds are held until bills authorized by the BID Board are submitted for payment. The BID does not have a checking account as this is a service that is provided by the City for an annual fee of a little more than $4500.00. The city has provided as requested by the BID a VISA card. The VISA card is used for incidental costs such as office supplies, small cleaning supplies and equipment repair items like new tires for the downtown ambassadors clean up cart, a new water pump to be able to water flowers, roundup for weeds, brooms etc. Additionally, some bills are due on receipt and it can take up to 3 weeks to get an invoice paid through the city payables. They do an excellent job but one week bills are entered in the system and the next week they are paid so the use of the VISA card has been utilized for items such as on line purchases, the purchase of Christmas lights and flowers for downtown. A perfect example of this would be the wayfinding signs downtown. The BID supplied the cash match of $30,000 for the Preserve America Grant that the city secured. Sign poles and metal blanks had to be ordered and paid for before shipment. Please remember, all of these expenses are approved within the budget process and also when the expense happens. There was reference made at the public hearing with regards to payments to Carbonari Associates. After an open application process for a Coordinator to execute the directives of the BID Board of Directors, Pam Carbonari and the BID entered into a renewable annual contract to fulfill the work. Paul Faessel the Downtown Ambassador, also serves as an independent contractor. At the conclusion of this year budget on June 30, 2017, it appears that there would be enough remaining funds to minimally continue the work of the BID for 4 months. FACADE Program I would like to bring you up to date also on the Facade Improvement program. When the program was developed in 2013 letters were sent to the property owners within the district, the program was added to our downtown website and there was an article in the Daily Interlake explaining the program. Beginning in 2013 through 2016 the BID has awarded 18 Fagade Improvement grants totaling a little over $58,000. This has stimulated owner investment of $146,265 for a total investment of $204,000. Please see attached a listing of all grants. The goal of the program is designed to provide an incentive for private sector improvement of commercial buildings downtown. Everyone wins with property values being maintained and increased within the district. The BID Board awarded 5 grants to sitting board members however no one who qualified has been turned down for a grant. One property was turned down because they were out of the district and another request by the Imagination IF Library was turned down because they are not contributing properties to the district. Additionally, I would like to explain the BID Board of Directors process for the renewal and expansion of the district. RENEWAL & EXPANSION Kalispell's Business Improvement District was created to support economic growth and vitality in downtown Kalispell. The BID helps to maintain and promote the unique character of downtown. The goals and mission for the KBID is to advocate for the social, commercial, professional and cultural heart of the community. A strong downtown district benefits everyone within the district by programs that help to maintain property values and promote Kalispell as a business and residential environment. BID's are not created solely for retail business. A successful downtown district is a mix of commercial, retail, residential and professional. As a reminder, when the BID was initially created in 2004 with a 10 year life as per MCA, it was tied up in litigation for a number of years and was basically on hold until 2009 when the litigation was awarded in favor of the BID. Assessments were received in 2005 and 2006 and were not collected for 2007, 2008 and 2009. As a result of 3 years without assessment collection the board requested the City Attorney and the Finance Director clearly define when the current BID would expire. Please see the worksheet attached showing the annual revenue assessments received from 2004 — 2016. 1. The BID Board received a list of annual revenues to the district. (Please see attached copy). May 2017 is the last assessment for the current district. 2. The BID Board requested that the petition for renewal/expansion be reviewed by the City Attorney. The attorney informed us that when we contacted property owners with the petition, a map of the proposed new district would need to be sent to the property owner with the petition. The board was also told to include the assessment formula on the petition. He informed us that the boundaries and formula for assessment could not change or we would need to start the process over. 3. The BID Board requested a property owner list from the City for all properties within the current district. The City contacted the County for the most recent list of property owners and addresses. 4. The BID Board spent considerable time looking at the district boundaries and requests from properties outside of the current district indicating that they would like to be in the district. Kalispell Brewery and a mechanics shop on 2nd St. E. are two of these examples. The board members drove the downtown area and reviewed who truly benefits from a well maintained district with a positive momentum in occupancy, lease rates, new businesses and increased foot traffic. It was their belief that just as Main St. and lst Ave. E & W affect other commercial and residential properties on 2"d Ave. E & W and 3rd Ave. E & W; 2"d and 3rd Ave. E. & W affect Main Street and lst Ave. E. & W. The true commercial district for downtown is basically Main to 3rd Ave. E. & W. By expanding to 3rd Avenues West and East the district will positively affect all properties within the new boundaries. 5. After careful consideration the board proposed the current new boundary. Kalispell Center Mall is a unique property downtown and was not included in the district because of the Mall boundaries. The new district includes properties to 3rd Ave. West and the Mall property boundaries extend to 5th Ave. West. Additional properties north of the railroad tracks in ownership of the Mall owners are included within the new proposed district. 6. Downtown Kalispell has a number of churches. The BID board made a decision to include the church properties within the district. Church properties do not have a taxable value but are instead assessed only per square feet. Church properties receive a benefit from being located within the district and will be assessed with the renewal/expansion of the district. Fresh Life Church, First Presbyterian and Bethlehem Lutheran all signed petitions in favor. 7. The existing boundary was expanded to the current proposed boundary and a new list of property owners was received from the city. This information comes from the county tax rolls. 8. The BID board requested information regarding district renewals, monetary formulas for assessment and the number of properties that are assessed from the other cities in Montana. Only one city utilizes a different formula for outlying properties. All districts offer similar services such as cleaning and weeding public property, emptying public waste cans, flowers on historic poles, downtown marketing, tree replacement, holiday decorations, etc. Additionally, all districts include leased residential properties, with the residential exception of single family, owner occupied residents. Not for profit including churches are also included in their assessments. ALL DISTRICTS WITHIN THE STATE OF MONTANA HAVE SUCCESSFULLY RENEWED THEIR DISTRICTS PER MCA. • Helena created in 1993 and continues to be renewed. They have over 379 parcels and the formula is the same for all properties. $400.00 per property and .020 per square feet. • Great Falls was created in 1989 and continues to be renewed. They have 301 parcels as of 7/1/15 and assess $200.00 each lot and $.00165 times the phased in market valuation & $.015 times the lot square feet. • Bozeman was created in 2000 and was renewed in 2010. They have 300 parcels their assessment is $.048 times the lot square feet. • Billings was created in 2006 and has one assessment formula for all properties. • Livingston was created in 2011 and has one assessment formula for all properties. • Missoula has been renewed and has over 542 parcels. Missoula is the only city in Montana that utilizes a zone formula for the outlying parcels. Their formula is Zone 1 $200.00 flat fee and 2.5% of the property's taxable value and Zone 2 is a flat fee of $150.00 plus 2% of the property's taxable value. 9. During the entire process of securing petitions we diligently worked to discover new addresses for property owners if the petition was returned in the mail. Total throughout the process was about 20 or less. 10. As petitions were received they were delivered to the city for verification. The BID sent out 3 mailings during the petition gathering time frame beginning in May 2016 and continuing until December 2016. In total greater than 100 property owners signed petitions in favor of creation/renewal and expansion and less than 20 sent in opposition letters. 11. Once we received over 60% as mandated by Montana Code the BID Board requested that the City begin the process of notifying the property owners of their intent to create/renew and enlarge the district. Your resolution of intent dated December 2016 had the new property boundaries within the resolution. 12. It is our understanding that the boundaries cannot be changed without waiting one year and beginning the process over again by securing new petitions with a new boundary map. This would put the City of Kalispell and the Downtown property owners without the BID until at the earliest 2019. Finally, KBID ACCOMPLISHMENTS The following are some of the accomplishments of the KBID: • Developed and implemented with the City of Kalispell directional (way finding) street signs • Developed, printed and distributed 30,000 walking tour brochures • Refurbished 43 sidewalk benches • Purchased 19 new street trees • Purchase hanging flowers for downtown and for the corner planters • Played a role in the CORE project and support of the $10 million Tiger grant • Worked with the City of Kalispell to secure $90,000 of State and Federal grants to be spent downtown • Facilitated over $200,000 in public and private investment on fagade improvements downtown • Worked effectively with City government regarding sensible transportation issues, long term downtown planning, special events and parking • Advocated for developer friendly policies to encourage downtown growth. • Negotiated with the City of Kalispell for right of way permits allowing for items such as sandwich board signs, art, benches and chairs to be placed on the sidewalks within the BID • Coordinated the implementation of "parklet" permits (seasonal outdoor seating) • Purchased and coordinated the hanging of holiday decorations • Continue to keep downtown clean, inviting and friendly through the contracted downtown Ambassador FUTURE Projects and Goals • Track and market downtown vacancies • Continue Fagade Improvement program • Pedestrian and bike friendly downtown — bike racks • On-line marketing and work with BID members on the use of social media • Creating a stronger awareness about how the BID can advocate for downtown businesses with city hall • Advocate for legislative liquor licensing amendments • Continue the Downtown Ambassador program • Work with the City to complete and adopt the Downtown Plan • Continue to work with the city regarding transportation issues and downtown parking It is with great pleasure that we offer this information to assist with your deliberations. If there are any further questions you might have, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We hope that after reviewing the information we have provided, you will not hesitate to renew the district for an additional 10 years.

A business improvement district is a geographically defined area in which area specific programs and supplemental services are provided to business and property owners. The services and programs are paid for through a special assessment which is charged to all property owners within the district in order to equitably distribute the benefits received and the costs incurred. The assessment money is collected by the County and distributed to the City. Because the assessment funds collected in the district cannot legally be spent outside of that BID, the City creates a fund for the BID and releases the funds based on a budget created by the BID Board of Trustees. What are area specific programs and supplemental services? Area specific programs are those items which the City does not routinely provide but which may provide a special benefit to the BID area. The BID may, for example, fund marketing and promotional efforts to attract, develop and retain new and existing businesses. The facade improvement program which allows for grants to be authorized within the district is another example of a specific program. The Kalispell BID also provides supplemental cleaning and beautification downtown, and has a part-time director to coordinate its programs and advocate for property owners. Why does Kalispell have a BID? The Kalispell BID was established to support the economic growth and vitality of downtown Kalispell and to maintain and promote its unique character. The Kalispell BID advocates for a downtown district that is the social, commercial, professional and cultural heart of the community. Why did the KBID expand? The boundary of the KBID was expanded by the board of trustees, to recognize and include deserving adjacent businesses which more fully represents what constitutes downtown Kalispell. A strong downtown district benefits everyone within the district by programs that help to maintain property values and promotes Kalispell as a unique business and residential environment. How much are the assessments and how are they calculated? Assessments are calculated on the taxable value of the parcel multiplied by .0375% plus parcel size square feet multiplied by .015. Taxable value allows for the differences in conditions of buildings and it also allows parking lots with much lower values to have a lower assessment. These assessments are collected bi-annually by Flathead County along with property taxes, and are itemized on each property tax statement. Who runs the KBID and when are the meetings held? A minimum of five and maximum of seven property owners within the district compose the Board of Trustees of the district. A property owner may assign a designee to represent the owner. Trustees serve a 4.year term and may be reappointed. The work plan and budget are developed by the Board of Trustees, placing direct control of downtown issues in the hands of property owners. Meetings are generally held the first Tuesday of each month at 7:30 AM in the second floor conference room of the Whipps Building, 14 3`d Ave. East. The meeting agenda is posted at City Hall. As a property owner you are welcome and encouraged to attend meetings. What Is the duration of the district? A Business Improvement District is created for a period of time specified in the City resolution but shall not be for a period longer than 10 years unless the duration of the district is extended in compliance with Montana Code. Is this just another tax? Business Improvement District assessments are not taxes. BID assessments are vehicles which convey a special benefit upon those who pay. It is important to remember that the BID is established through the consent of a majority of the property owners within the district. Some of the KBID accomplishments: • Facilitated almost $200,000 in public and private investment on facade improvements downtown. • Developed and implemented with the City of Kalispell 29 directional street signs. • Worked effectively with City government regarding sensible transportation issues, longterm downtown planning, special events and parking. • Advocated for developer friendly policies to encourage downtown growth. • Developed, printed and distributed 30,000 walking tour brochures. • Refurbished 43 sidewalk benches. • Worked to secure $90,000 of State and Federal grants to be spent downtown.
