TIF & TEDD UPDATES
The WGM appraisal of the property needed for the 18t" Street Realignment option has been completed. WGM
will communicate with the property owner. Survey work of the project area is nearly complete from airport
road to Rankin Elementary School, this will lead into the schematic design for the area, to include sidewalk.
The Airport Users Group looks to make improvements this spring, using South Kalispell/Airport TIF funding.
Public Works will make improvements to the city shops property. Plans include moving the fence line back to
put in a 5-foot sidewalk, adding a landscape boulevard and street trees and possibly replacing the existing
fence with a green vinyl chain fencing, as part of the WGM design of the larger South Kalispell Traffic Project.
The URA Board reaffirmed the recommendation of the 16t" Street Offset option to City Council.
The draft Downtown TIF Policies and Procedures were reviewed. It was noted that impact fees are eligible
activities in the Downtown TIF and that payback agreements based on tax revenues created by the project can
be utilized. The Shared Utilities Program 12% verbiage will be removed from the draft and points system will
be incorporated into the application documents instead of the policy and procedure document. City Staff will
begin work on an update of the West Side TIF policies, procedures and application.
