Public Comment:
Unfinished Business:
Avail-TVN request from the South Kalispell / Airport TIF for $21,055.66 was
discussed. Jeremy Ferkin & Debbie Dillon from CenturyLink discussed their
position regarding not providing funding for running the fiber line under Highway
93 to the west side from where their present line on the east side of the highway.
They indicated they only pass on the charges for the permits and bear the other
expenses. The Agency members felt the use of the funds was permissible as it
provides a service to that area for not only Avail-TVN but any other business that
may have such a need in the future in this area. The Agency members concerns
were making sure the fiber line would be used by Avail-TVN. The Agency
requested that Wade talk with the City Attorney to see if there could be a
latecomer fee that could be charged to anyone that came at a later time to
recover the investment and to see if there was a way to make sure that Avail-
TVN uses the line.
New Business:
The Agency had a brief discussion about the West Side TIF and it was decided to
look into the possibility of expansion of the TIF District. Further discussion will have
to be had on this issue.
End of Summary of Activities of 10/13/10.
