TO: Doug Russell, City Manager)2
FROM: Susie Turner, PE, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Agreement to Mitigate Easement Improvement Damages with Flathead County
MEETING: January 16, 2018
BACKGROUND: Public Works is currently working on the incorporation of the Section 36
Well into the City's water system. The incorporation involves the construction of a well facility
and all the equipment required for the operation of a well facility. Section 36 Well and water
rights were entrusted to the City, along with the dedication of a wellhead easement and
protection zone, as part of the Timberwolf Center Phase I and I final plat. The well and
easement are located within State School Trust Land (Section 36); allowing the State of Montana
to subsequently grant Flathead County an easement for the 911 Center on the same land that
occupies the City's Section 36 Well easement.
Due to the "stacked" easement arrangement, the State of Montana requires an agreement
between both parties acknowledging responsibilities associated with the improvements within
the "stacked" easements. As such, each easement holder is required to sign and execute an
Agreement to Mitigate Easement Improvement Damages. The Agreement to Mitigate Easement
Improvement Damages for the Section 36 Well Facility was authored by the State and is attached
for reference.
The City's responsibilities outlined in the agreement have been reviewed by the City Attorney
and will be incorporated into the design and construction of the Section 36 Well Facility. The
agreement was brought forward to Flathead County and signed by the Commissioners at the
January 91h meeting.
ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to adopt the Agreement to Mitigate Easement Improvement
Damages between Flathead County and the City of Kalispell and authorize the City Manager to
sign the agreement on behalf of the City of Kalispell.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested and approved by the City Council.
ATTACHMENTS: Agreement to Mitigate Easement Improvement Damages
AGREEMENT TO MITIGATE EASEMENT IMPROVEMENT DAMAGES
WHEREAS, the State of Montana dedicated to the City of Kalispell (hereinafter referred to as
"City") a wellhead easement and wellhead protection zone with the filing of the
final plat of the Timberwolf Center, Phase 1 A and 1 B; and
WHEREAS, the State of Montana subsequently granted Easement No. D-13363 to Flathead
County (hereinafter referred to as "County") for the purpose of a 911 Emergency
Coordination Center upon Timberwolf Center, Phase 1 B; and
WHEREAS, the County has provided landscaping improvements to their easement area which
are encompassed within the dedicated wellhead easement and associated
protection zone; and
WHEREAS, for safety and other reasons the City is desirous of constructing a well house to
protect the dedicated wellhead area. Construction of said well house will
otherwise remove or alter the existing landscaping improvements provided by the
County for the 911 Emergency Coordination Center located on Timberwolf
Center, Phase 1B.
NOW, THEREFORE, The City and County agree that the landscaping improvements of the
County upon the 911 Emergency Coordination Center easement area will be removed.
Mitigation by the City will include construction of the well house to state and local standards,
using exterior materials consistent with the exterior of the 911 Emergency Coordination Center.
The City additionally agrees to design landscaping and drainage to meet the current land uses the
911 Emergency Coordination Center utilizes. The County agrees to not construct any facilities or
landscaping within the wellhead easement and protection zone area as shown on the plat for
Timberwolf Center, Phase 1 B unless there is mutual agreement with the City for the same.
Signed this 9th day of January ) 20 18•
