ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS
Resolution 4143-Local Government Study Election
The purpose of this resolution is to submit to the electors of the
City of Kalispell on June 7, 1994, a proposal to create a 3 member
Local Government Study Commission to review the government of the
City of Kalispell. During the work session of last week there was
some discussion concerning the size of the Commission as some felt
maybe a 5 member Commission is more appropriate. If a 5 member
Commission is more desirable the resolution would need to be
amended.
