City of Kalispell
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
201 First Avenue East
Kalispell, MT 59901
April 22, 2025
Honorable Mayor Mark Johnson
Members of the Kalispell City Council
201 1st Avenue East
Kalispell, MT 59901
Mayor and Council,
This letter is to serve as the transmittal document for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Preliminary
Budget for municipal operations. This message summarizes the proposed budget and guiding
principles for establishing the respective appropriations.
This year’s budget is reflective of previous approvals at the Council level or in the community
with the passage of the Emergency Responder Levy. These adopted plans have presented the
roadmap for the development of the budget. Thorough analysis has occurred with respective
rate studies in our enterprise funds (water, sewer, solid waste, streets) that allow us to plug in
the components that were reviewed as part of the respective rate plans for those areas.
Additionally, the passage of the Emergency Responder Levy has established the expected
service level desired by the community, providing the benefit of having an established service
level and the corresponding funding. These adopted work plans provide an efficient budget
development process as reflected in this proposed document. The following pages of the
transmittal letter have been revised from previous years to facilitate a more efficient budget
review as they coincide with areas/projects/cost centers from each department that we highlight
during the budget work sessions.
Previous budgets have recognized the challenge Montana municipalities face with limitations on
available revenues. As state law restricts municipalities to one half the average rate of inflation
for the prior three years, plus new growth that has occurred from development, there are limited
opportunities to enhance the level of services, especially in the current environment where high
inflation magnifies the gap between costs we experience and available resources to address
needs. This leads to a strategic effort that prioritizes projects and services to maintain
operations within our available resources. Though our utilities and emergency services have
benefitted from updated, approved, and funded work plans, many of our general fund
departments face inflationary and growth-related impacts. In the past, we have taken a cautious
approach to not over-extend ongoing costs in these areas yet continue to fund respective
demands when able. This year’s proposed budget does not include any staffing increases in
general fund supported departments, which aids our overall fiscal position. Internally, we are
committed to finding ways to streamline operations and implement technologies that limit
personnel additions and higher ongoing costs.
ii
Our fiscal policy includes a 20% reserve in our general fund. With the proposed revenues and
expenditures, the preliminary budget is currently at a fund balance of 19%. This preliminary
budget does not account for anticipated savings in our Worker’s Compensation program, as we
are switching to a new provider that will save $100,000 across the organization. It is also
anticipated that the final budget will have additional carryover funds when we complete the end
of year close-out on June 30. An important positive trend with the preliminary budget is the
decreasing gap between expenditures and revenues. The FY25 proposed budget had a
revenue gap of approximately $450,000. This year’s preliminary budget currently has a revenue
versus expenditure gap of $275,000. I anticipate additional carry-over funds from the fiscal year
2025 budget providing the Council with the opportunity to meet the traditional goal of being
below the maximum mill levy. This will be determined when we receive final valuations in
August. In balance with trying to achieve a budget under the property tax cap, we will propose
using additional carry-over funds to enhance the fund balance in the Central Garage to begin
the process of funding facility expansion.
Each year we update a 10-year forecast to project the revenue versus expenditure relationship.
This aids in long-term decision making, stressing the strategic approach to the services we
provide. The 10-year forecast is presented below. While this is the 10-year forecast, in FY2038,
the Westside Tax Increment District will sunset, which will shift over $1,000,000 (conservatively)
in revenues back to the general fund.
iii
Finally, and as previously alluded, this budget continues to address our utilities and enterprise
funds which grow in proportion to the demands we experience. Keeping up with these areas has
been a focus for this governing body over the last decade with updating infrastructure plans and
associated rate studies. The past attention by the governing body in this area should be noted,
as previous investments provide the resiliency to manage current challenges. The current
updating of facility plans will assist this continued effort and prioritize necessary investments.
I am pleased to present the proposed FY26 Preliminary Budget and am comfortable with the
recommended appropriations, the expected service levels resulting from this funding
distribution, and the efforts to position our services in the future. I am comfortable this spending
plan provides the Kalispell City Government with a foundation to move us into the future and
face our respective challenges.
This transmittal letter is not intended to identify all the specifics of the budget document, but
rather provide an overview of the revenues, expenditures, fund levels, unique attributes, and
significant budget related activities of the organization. Moreover, as changes will be
implemented between the preliminary budget and final adoption, numbers in this document may
be different than the numbers in the budget document itself.
RELEVANT TOPICS FACING THE CITY OF KALISPELL
As part of the overall budget development review process, this section identifies various areas
impacting services or significant centers of attention in the community. Recognizing some of the
issues we are facing can aid in providing context for the needs and work plans within the budget
document.
INFRASTRUCTURE
The City of Kalispell continues to invest in the maintenance of its infrastructure system. In
addition to the projects identified in the proposed budget, we are also updating sewer and water
facility plans, supported by the Pro-Housing grant awarded to the State of Montana. Allocations
to the City of Kalispell include funding to support the cost to update these plans, which will then
guide future infrastructure improvements as projects are prioritized through the process.
The facility plans for our utilities are developed through modeling and identification of areas of
development within the municipality in addition to identification of maintenance projects. The
facility plans provide a roadmap for infrastructure maintenance and expansion. While some of
the infrastructure projects have a high cost associated with them, using the facility plans as our
prioritization guide has been valuable in decision making to keep us ahead of failure points and
bottlenecks that otherwise could have occurred.
This year’s budget not only includes updates to the facility plans, but also large infrastructure
projects. These include, but are not limited to: 1) identified work plans for emerging contaminant
mitigation driven by new regulatory mandates, 2) a biosolids disposal program that has been
approved and is set for construction, 3) continued improvements in our Wastewater Treatment
Plant, 4) grant funded trail improvements on Four-Mile Drive, and a grant application submitted
for Highway 93, and 5) road and drainage improvements on Two-Mile Drive funded through a
congressional appropriation.
iv
LAND USE
Continuing from last year, the City of Kalispell is working on an updated land use plan to come
into compliance with legislation that was passed in the 2023 session. That legislation is currently
fluid as it is being altered through the courts and in amendments proposed in the current
legislative session. We will continue with outreach as part of the plan’s development and
incorporate changes that may occur throughout the session, etc. As part of this process, we
have been awarded grant funding that will assist with staff time in our Development Services
office and in the updating of various facility plans for our infrastructure (as noted above). The
work on the updated land use plan is anticipated to continue through Spring of 2026.
URBAN RENEWAL
Housing and commercial projects continue to progress in our Urban Renewal Districts, with
various new developments and remodels taking place in recent history and likely to continue.
The Westside Urban Renewal District has shown a 63% increase in valuation and the
Downtown Urban Renewal District has shown a 70% increase in valuation (according to the
final values published in August of 2024). It is reasonable to expect that projects will emerge in
both districts to complement the development that has occurred.
While it is not identified in the budget, we anticipate our partners with Ashley Creek Park
continuing their efforts in the design and construction of this new regional park adjacent to the
western end of the Parkline Trail. The council has previously adopted a memorandum of
understanding and will likely have further action items when it comes to the approval of the long-
term agreements related to maintenance and funding of the facility, in addition to requests for
annexation of the respective parcels. Though it has taken some time, we anticipate finalizing the
acquisition of the City’s respective land parcel for this project by the time the preliminary budget
is adopted in June.
HOUSING
Housing saw a
decrease in permit
numbers during
2024, which is not
unexpected due to
the significant
increase in housing
construction in the
last few years. While
housing permits saw
a decrease, there
are still several large
multi-family facilities
under construction.
As more of these
units come on the
market, the supply
should continue to
aid in the demand
side of the equation, balancing costs within the market. This has been a significant area of
interest locally, statewide, and nationally. Above is an updated graph of the housing permits
issued since 2013.
v
PROPERTY TAX:
➢Property tax is the primary source of revenue for the general fund. It is limited by the
allowable inflationary index as identified in state statute plus the inclusion of new growth.
These two variables present respective challenges in sustaining operations, and in
establishing the preliminary budget:
o Inflationary index: Municipalities are prevented from keeping up with the rate of
inflation. State law limits inflationary growth to one-half the average rate of
inflation for the prior 3 years (Montana Code Annotated 15-10-420). Hence, while
the inflationary rate may be 7%, we are limited to an inflationary increase that is
below that amount per state law. This allowable increase doesn’t account for the
rapid inflationary cost of materials and supplies. For this fiscal year, we are
estimating the inflationary index at 2.11%, though actual realized costs exceed
that percentage.
o Municipalities also receive additional revenue through new growth within the tax
base. While we don’t receive the growth numbers until early August, we can look
at recent history to provide estimates. Our average growth increase in the
property base over the past 4 years has been approximately 2.96%.
PUBLIC SAFETY
➢The recent passage of the Emergency Responder Levy is once again a significant
component of this year’s budget. Fiscal Year 2025 saw the hiring of 12 employees in
Fire/EMS and 11 in Law Enforcement. Hiring and training had an impact on operations
and the budget as shifts had to be covered and Field Training Officers were engaged to
bring the new hires to a level of independence. FY26 should find the levels of service to
the community enhanced as officers and firefighters are released to individual patrols
and units. Moreover, we are preparing for the outfitting, design, and construction of the
third fire station, identified within the Levy. The current fund balance to aid in the
construction of this station is identified in the Emergency Responder Levy Fund and is
projected to be at $1,550,000 at the end of FY26. However, we anticipate that number
being closer to $2,000,000 when we do the FY25 year-end close-out. Similar to the
general fund, we have put together a 10-year forecast for the dedicated levy, estimating
revenue and expenditures (see the graph below).
vi

This section will simply identify the highlights within each: of the divisions:
o Two-Mile Drive improvement project is a $3.3 million Federal Appropriation we
are receiving for stormwater, road, and sidewalk improvements on Two-mile
Drive. The appropriation allows us to improve this specific section that might
otherwise not be addressed
o Work will continue on the Biosolids project that has been part of numerous work
sessions in the previous years
o The grant-funded development of wells to address emerging contaminant
legislation will continue through this next year. While we are currently under EPA
limits, this work will provide an abundant source of water production and replace
the temporary treatment system we have at one of the well sources
o As part of the most recent rate schedule/work plan adoption, we will be adding an
additional operator in the Water Division
o Likewise, the Solid Waste Division will be implementing the work plan that was
adopted during FY25 and add an additional operator, front load operations, and
storage facility
o The growth of the city and its respective operations over the last 20 years has
caught up with operations in Central Garage. This year we are proposing an

o Health Insurance is projected to increase by 9.5%
o Property Insurance is projected to increase by 2%
viii
GENERAL FUND REVENUE
Property tax is the
primary revenue source
in the general fund. As
we do not receive final
property valuations for the
current year until the first
week in August, we forecast
revenues based on trends
we are experiencing. For
FY26, we are projecting
an increase from last
year’s projection, reflecting
the anticipated properties
adding to the total market
value in Kalispell. To the side is a graphic
representation of our
revenues by their respective
sources.
GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES
Expenditures in the General
Fund are recommended at
$16,927,110. Expenditure
categories are broken down in
the figure to the left. There is
little change from last year in
the budget categories as
Capital and Debt Service are
small components of the
expenditure profile. Personal
Services and Services and
Supplies remain similar to last
year as a percentage of the
budget.

SPENDING LEVELS BY DEPARTMENT IN GENERAL FUND
The following table provides a comparison of general fund departmental expenditures from
FY25 to FY26. The table is included to demonstrate the funding levels for respective activit ies in
this year’s recommended budget as compared to the previous year. Changes may be indicative
of capital items, significant additions to departmental responsibilities, or other changes in
operation and maintenance costs.

SPECIAL REVENUE AND ENTERPRISE FUND REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND
BALANCES
Below is a table of the Special Revenue and Enterprise Funds, with their related revenues,
expenditures, and fund balances. While the funds, especially some of the enterprise funds, may
show variability due to capital projects, the operating balance as a percentage of revenues is a
quick indicator for relative confidence in the health of a fund. Additionally, we have placed
graphic representations of fund health into the budget document. This representation estimates
the fund revenues, expenditures, and balance for upcoming fiscal years.

PERSONNEL COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
Efforts have been made on an annual basis to provide equity across the organization as it
pertains to compensation. This process includes a market-based survey for every position in the
organization that incorporates an average of five data points representing municipalities with
populations larger than Kalispell and 5 data points representing municipalities with populations
smaller than Kalispell to establish a classification range for our employees. This market review
occurs approximately every three years, coinciding with the first-year negotiations of labor
agreements. This market review system for each position allows us to remain competitive, yet
responsible, in our compensation strategy, and enables an adjustment every three years, if
needed, as part of the classification process. This year, two of our labor agreements are current
and include a total adjustment of 4.3%. One labor agreement is currently scheduled to begin
xi
after the preliminary budget is published, though it is anticipated that we will have a final
agreement by the time of final budget adoption.
Health care increases from Montana Municipal Interlocal Authority (MMIA) are projected to
increase by 9.5% for FY26. To maintain lower rates, MMIA participates in reference-based
pricing and continues to encourage employees to participate in their wellness program activities
to help avoid long-term cost exposures.
CONCLUSION
The Fiscal Year 2026 Preliminary Budget is a representation of the work of the City Council,
primarily in taking an intentional approach to planning and implementation of adopted plans.
While this is most evident in our facility plans, it is also represented in other areas, such as our
Urban Renewal Plans and our departmental planning, in areas such as police and fire. The
implementation of these efforts can be found throughout the preliminary budget. These projects
are represented by the award of grant funds, direct appropriations, and dedicated funds. The
focus on planning throughout the organization allows us to develop a budget with an organized
process, confident that projects that are being funded have been analyzed as part of a larger
effort. Additionally, these planning efforts have provided the ability to leverage existing funds
with other sources when they are available. We have seen this with emerging contaminants,
establishing the Downtown Plan, departmental reviews, and specific work plans. Being
aggressive in planning has led to opportunities to capitalize on programs that otherwise may not
have occurred.
The preliminary budget is presented as the upcoming fiscal plan for the City of Kalispell. The
work of the City Council, community, and staff in adopting strategic efforts is appreciated as it
provides guidance for the recommended budget appropriations. With this acknowledgement, I
present the proposed FY26 budget.
Respectfully,
Douglas R. Russell

WHEREAS, the City Council acknowledges that the City of Kalispell, as a local government,
is vulnerable to economic uncertainty, unanticipated events, credit rating
assignments, and potential shortfalls in revenue cycles within any respective
budget year; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the City Council that the city sustain a strong financial
foundation for unassigned fund balances, but to also uphold a financial culture
that does not sacrifice the provision of municipal services merely for the sake of
fiscal targets; and
WHEREAS, the Government Finance Officers Association in Best Practice "Appropriate Level
of Unrestricted Fund Balance in the General Fund" identifies that a general
purpose government, regardless of size, should maintain an unrestricted fund
balance in its general fund of no less than two months (16.7%) of general fund
operating revenues or expenditures;" and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds that it is prudent and in the best interests of the city
to establish a specific policy to guide the development and maintenance of the
level of unassigned fund balance within the general fund.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Kalispell, Montana
that:
SECTION I. The targeted ending unassigned fund balance in the general fund shall be
20% of the annual general fund revenues for that respective fiscal year.
SECTION H. Should events occur that require the use of the unassigned fund balance
that lowers it below the 20% level, budgeting adjustments shall be made
in the following year that realigns the unassigned fund balance toward, if
not to the 20% amount.
SECTION III. Unassigned fund balances above 20% will be budgeted toward
municipal operations so as to not create an excessive unassigned balance
of taxpayer provided funds.
PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AND SIGNED BY THE MAYOR OF
THE CITY OF KALISPELL, THIS 20TH DAY OF AUGUST, 20 2.

GENERAL FUND
FUND #1000
The general fund receives 80%-90% of its revenue from tax levies (general and permissive health)
and other intergovernmental revenues (entitlement share, etc.). The general fund should have
enough cash available at July 1st (and January 1st) to pay expenditures, less expected revenues,
through December (June). In the general fund, a beginning cash carryover of 20% of budgeted
expenditures has been sufficient to pay the fund expenditures through December if a balanced
budget is presented. Beginning cash carryover was 30.6% for fiscal year 2025, is 27.6% for fiscal
year 2026 and is estimated to begin fiscal year 2027 at about 20-23%.

GOALS OF THIS DEPARTMENT:
INTENDED OUTCOMES FROM BUDGET EXPENDITURES:
The FY2026 budget for the Office of City Attorney seeks to maintain the current level of service in all civil
and criminal matters. Importantly, the criminal side of the City Attorney's office has maintained the same
software since 2006. The current software is outdated and has started to malfunction with the introduction of
new software within Kalispell Municipal Court. While this amount was budgeted for FY2025, the software
was not purchased because a good option did not exist and the IT Department discovered a way to make the
old software work by restarting a server every morning. This is a temporary fix and the software company
has indicated in writing their intention to create updated software specifically designed to work with KMC's
software. They hope to develop this software in FY2026 although it may not be complete until FY2027. The
attorney staff shall maintain two full time prosecutors. The prosecutors are assisted by a full-time legal
assistant and will be assisted and supervised by the Chief Deputy City Attorney in matters of case
management and legal oversight. The Chief Deputy City Attorney shall also assist in the provision of civil
legal services in the areas of risk management, contract services, civil litigation, and will, on occasion, act in
the role of City Attorney when necessary. The City Attorney works and reports directly to the City Manager
in all legal matters of the City, including legislation, ordinance enforcement and personnel matters and also
confers directly with all other directors of the City as needs arise. The City Attorney is assisted by a 2/3 legal
assistant.
PURPOSE OF THIS DEPARTMENT:
The purpose of the Office of the City Attorney is to provide legal counsel and direction to the municipal
organization of the City of Kalispell, including its City Manager, its department directors, and the City
Council. This effort includes legal guidance on all relevant laws and policies pertaining to the business of
the municipal organization, through resolution and ordinance preparation, city code maintenance, contract
development, and employee relations. Additionally, the Office of the City Attorney defends the interests of
the City through preventative legal management, litigation, and prosecution within the Municipal, State, and
Federal Courts.
DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL: Attorney (4) and Legal Secretary (1.67).
The primary goal of the Office of the City Attorney is to provide high quality and timely legal counsel that
protects the interests of the City of Kalispell by minimizing exposure to loss and ensuring that the policies set
by the City Council are on firm legal footing.

PURPOSE OF THIS DEPARTMENT:
GOALS OF THIS DEPARTMENT:
INTENDED OUTCOMES FROM BUDGET EXPENDITURES:
AMBULANCE
FUND #2230
The Kalispell Ambulance provides Advanced Life Support medical response, treatment and transport of the
sick and injured, and public safety education.
DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL: Chief, Assistant Chief, and Clerk split (50%) with the Fire department,
and 8 Firefighters.
The goal of the Kalispell Ambulance Department is to provide effective medical response and educate the
community on safe living practices.
The primary outcome of the FY 25/26 budget is the continuation of emergency medical response and
outreach services. Focus will be on updating fleet, EMS reporting improvements and operational
accountability. There are marginal increases in the budget for fuel, medical supplies and equipment as
there has been increases in those markets in part due to the continuation of inflation, supply chain
difficulties causing national shortages.
AMBULANCE FUND
FUND #2230
The ambulance fund receives approximately 40%-60% of its revenue from tax levies (general and
permissive health) and other intergovernmental revenues (entitlement share, etc.) through a general
fund transfer and a special levy. The ambulance fund should have enough cash available at July 1st
(and January 1st) to pay expenditures, less expected revenues, through December (June). In the
ambulance fund, a beginning cash carryover of 25%-35% of budgeted expenditures would be
sufficient to pay the fund expenditures through December if a balanced budget is presented.
Beginning cash carryover was 1.3% for fiscal year 2025, is 4.4% for fiscal year 2026, and is
estimated to begin fiscal year 2027 at 2-4%.

INTENDED OUTCOMES FROM BUDGET EXPENDITURES
LIGHT MAINTENANCE
FUND #2400
Light Maintenance funds are utilized by the Traffics Signs and Signals Division to provide visibility that
promotes safe and efficient use of street facilities.
Achieve lighting standards and promote light replacements with longer lasting and more efficient lighting
systems.
The FY 26 budget presents the continuation of maintaining the lighting system and providing reliable
lighting for vehicular traffic, pedestrian, bicycle travel and outdoor recreation. Expenditures are allocated
for new streetlights around the hospital area, and other potential areas throughout the City.
LIGHTS MAINTENANCE FUND
FUND #2400
The lights maintenance fund receives almost all of its revenue from property assessments. The lights
maintenance fund should have enough cash available at July 1st (and January 1st) to pay
expenditures, less expected revenues, through December (June). In the lights maintenance fund, like
other assessed operating funds, a beginning cash carryover of 55%-75% of budgeted expenditures
has been sufficient to pay the fund expenditures through December if a balanced budget is
presented. Beginning cash carryover was 258% for fiscal year 2025, is 232% for fiscal year 2026,
and estimated to begin fiscal year 2027 at about 215%.

PROJECTED REVENUE AND FUND SUMMARY
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Bridge and Road Safety and Accountability Act (HB473) was enacted on May 3, 2017. This bill increased the tax on gasoline to 31.5 cents (from
27 cents) in fiscal years 2018 and 2019; to 32 cents in fiscal years 2020 and 2021; to 32.5 cents in fiscal year 2022; and 33 cents in fiscal year 2023
and thereafter. A corresponding 2 cent per gallon increase to (29.75 cents) was placed on diesel fuel over the same fiscal years. Funds must be used for
construction, reconstruction, maintenance, or repairs of rural roads, city or town streets and alleys, or bridges. As of June 30, 2023, BaRSAA was
repealed, via HB 76 during the 2023 legislative session. Unused balances remaining in the former 15-70-127 bridge and road safety and accountability
restricted accounted were distributed in accordance with MCA-15-70-101 subsections (2)(b) and (2)(c) in a lump sum payment on September 1, 2023.
BaRSAA is now an ongoing fuel tax payment combined with Gas Tax.

GOALS OF THIS DEPARTMENT:
INTENDED OUTCOMES FROM BUDGET EXPENDITURES
The FY26 budget outlines the ongoing commitment to proactive maintenance, repairs, and
reconstruction of streets and alleys, encompassing pavement marking, overlay, chip seal, ADA
compliance, and sidewalk replacement programs. To support the expansion of our road system and
to ensure delivery of services as the City grows, the budget allocates resources for potential land
procurement of a satellite equipment and material storage facility. Additionally, the budget supports
the scheduled replacement of an existing dump truck, and the purchase of a new Leaf Vac Trailer.
SPECIAL STREET MAINTENANCE
FUND #2500
To construct and maintain surface transportation, signals, and traffic controls that support economic
viability and promotes clean, safe, and drivable travel during all seasons.
1. To maintain city streets in a clean, safe and drivable condition during all seasons.
2. To provide the safe and orderly travel through properly designed and maintained signals, signage
and markings.
STREETS MAINTENANCE FUND
FUND #2500
The streets maintenance fund receives almost all of its revenue from property assessments. The
streets maintenance fund should have enough cash available at July 1st (and January 1st) to pay
expenditures, less expected revenues, through December (June). In the streets maintenance fund,
like other assessed operating funds, a beginning cash carryover of 55%-75% of budgeted
expenditures has been sufficient to pay the fund expenditures through December if a balanced
budget is presented. Beginning cash carryover was 137% for fiscal year 2025, is 108% for fiscal
year 2026, and is estimated to be 91% for fiscal year 2027.

The City of Kalispell received a Federal appropriation of $3,315,000 to fund the 2 Mile Drive Road and Drainage Improvement Project. The project replaces
approximately 360' of varying sized culverts and 750' of ditch restoration along 2 Mile Dr. The projects begins at a storm inlet in the west intersection of
Hawthorn Dr. continues east in the north ROW until ditch flow is piped under 2 Mile and Glenwood. Ditch flow is resumed on the east side of Glenwood until
the point of a CMP inlet at the FWP parking lot entrance. Existing culverts and drainage ditches are improperly graded and undersized. This project is
necessitated due to slow drainage which contributes excess groundwater to the area, affecting nearby residents (STX-43).

FUND #2215
DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL: (6.35 FTE) Parks shares personnel costs of Parks and Recreation
Director, Parks & Recreation Asst. Director, Parks Superintendent, Parks Foreman, Administrative
Specialist and four Parks Caretakers.
To maintain 292 acres of parks and open spaces, according to our Parks Master Plan and council's direction
and continue implementing beautification programs and maintaining current amenities.
The purpose of the Kalispell Parks Department is to actively encourage, provide, promote and protect
quality leisure opportunities, facilities and environments that are essential for the enhancement of the lives
of our citizens.
In FY26, the Parks Department will continue to maintain parks and green spaces following the strategies
outlined in the current master plan. This budget also includes funding for an updated master plan, which
will guide the identification of new projects and future growth opportunities. Capital projects include
replacement of two playgrounds that are past their life expectancy. Woodland Camp Center will be getting
new exterior paint. The Lakers Baseball parking lot will be scheduled to be redone.
PARKS FUND
FUND #2215
The parks fund receives roughly 65%-75% of its revenue from tax levies (general and permissive
health) and other intergovernmental revenues (entitlement share, etc.). The parks fund should have
enough cash available at July 1st (and January 1st) to pay expenditures, less expected revenues,
through December (June). In the parks fund, a beginning cash carryover of 25%-35% of budgeted
expenditures has been sufficient to pay the fund expenditures through December if a balanced
budget is presented. Beginning cash carryover was 65.3% for fiscal year 2025, is 44% for fiscal year
2026 and is estimated to begin fiscal year 2027 at about 28-30%.

FUND #2600
DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL: (1) Arborist Supervisor, (1) Arborist, and Forestry shares personnel
costs of Parks and Recreation Director, Parks and Recreation Asst. Director, Parks Superintendent,
Administrative Specialist, Assessment Coordinator and 5 Park Caretakers.
The forestry budget supports the maintenance of 10,678 trees in public right-of-ways by providing
pruning, planting and removal tree services. Forestry will also provide education on the importance and
benefits of trees in the community through events such as Arbor Day.
The FY26 Urban Forestry budget focuses on continuing to meet the prioritized schedule of removals,
pruning and planting, utilizing both in-house crews and contracted services. This fiscal budget includes a
new chip truck.
FORESTRY FUND
FUND #2600
The forestry fund receives almost all of its revenue from property assessments. The forestry fund
should have enough cash available at July 1st (and January 1st) to pay expenditures, less expected
revenues, through December (June). In the forestry fund, like other assessed operating funds, a
beginning cash carryover of 55%-75% of budgeted expenditures has been sufficient to pay the fund
expenditures through December if a balanced budget is presented. Beginning cash carryover was
180% for fiscal year 2025, is 138% for fiscal year 2026 and is estimated to begin fiscal year 2027 at
111-120%.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This budget is used to track the revenue from the permissive mill levy which provides funding for health insurance premium increases. Health insurance
premiums are budgeted in the General Fund by department. The revenue generated from the permissive levy is used to make an operating transfer to the
General Fund, Parks, and Emergency Responder Fund.
The State legislature restructured the method for calculating the amount to be levied with the permissive health levy. The calculation sets year 2000 as a base
year and calculates the average increase per governmental employee times the number of employees. Since it is an average amount it is not necessary to adjust
for single, married, 2 party, etc. The calculation takes into account the number of employees.

357 Consultants-Facility Master Plan/Rate & Impact Fee Study - $350,000
These funds support and update the 2018 Wastewater Facility Plan. Wastewater Facility planning provides planning and guidelines for
current and future sewer and wastewater projects within the City. Facility planning will update the City’s modeling and be integrated into the
GIS system, as well as support the development of future capital projects for budget and impact fee updates.
425 Materials - Pumps/Lift Stations - $150,000
The City maintains 42 sewer lift stations which contain 80 pumps and motors, numerous drives, check valves and controls. Many of our
pumps have reached the end of their service life cycle. In addition to routine maintenance, repairs were mostly associated with pump
and motor failures, or level transmission and control malfunctions. This budget accommodates 5-6 major pump replacements a year.

of storm water.
The FY26 budget for Storm Sewer provides capital projects to construct a facility engineered for the
receipt of materials generated from maintenance of the stormwater management system, improve
conveyance for existing stormwater systems and improve water quality from a large drainage
watershed that discharges to Spring Creek. The budget continues to support an update to the facility
plan which will model, evaluate, and provide projects involving the existing storm systems
functionality, capacity, and necessary future system projects to support growth.
The storm sewer fund receives almost all of its revenue from property assessments. The storm sewer
fund should have enough cash available at July 1st (and January 1st) to pay expenses, less expected
revenues, through December (June). In the storm sewer fund, like other assessed operating funds, a
beginning cash carryover of 55%-75% of budgeted expenses has been sufficient to pay the fund
expenses through December, if a balanced budget is presented. Beginning operating cash carryover
was 369% for fiscal year 2025, is 139% for fiscal year 2026, and is estimated to begin fiscal year
2027 at 80-85%.

356 Stormwater Regulatory Compliance Program/Permit Fees - $35,000
The City of Kalispell is required to comply with Montana Department of Environmental Quality’s General Permit for Storm Water
Discharges Associated with Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s). The Permit requires the City to create a TMDL
section that is included in its Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP). The TMDL section will identify the measures and BMPs it plans
to implement, describe the MS4’s impairment priorities and long-term strategy, and outline interim milestones (i.e., a completion
schedule for action items) for controlling the discharge of the pollutants of concern and making progress towards meeting the TMDL.
Developing the TMDL section requires contracting with consultants to complete it in the time required. Additionally, the city continues
to manage ongoing permit requirements to effectively manage the DEQ approved stormwater management plan.
358 Consultants-Facility Plan/Impact Fee Update - $305,000
These funds support and update the 2008 Stormwater Facility Plan. Stormwater Facility planning provides planning and guidelines for
current and future stormwater projects within the City. Facility planning will update the City’s modeling and be integrated into the
GIS system, as well as support the development of future capital projects for budget and impact fee updates. $100,000 allocated
to updating the Stormwater Impact Fee Report.
430246 Capital Outlay: from Operating (10100)
972 Meridian East and North Drainage Basin-Water Quality and Drainage Upgrades - Carryover $254,412
The goal of this project is to analyze, design and construct WQ treatment and a flood control facilities for the stormwater
basin. The City's TMDL Action Plan identifies this drainage basin as the next priority basin to install WQ treatment.
Additionally, recent growth in the drainage basin has overwhelmed the capacity and flood control is now required (STX-52 & 61).

Total $1,506,239
This project will design and construct a decant facility for stormwater maintenance activities. The decant facility will allow
vacuum trucks that are performing maintenance activities on stormwater mains, catch basins, manholes and treatment facilities
to decant the trucks and provide a means to separate stormwater from debris which can be disposed elsewhere. The decant water
will be collected and treated and then the effluent water will be routed south to an existing ditch which drains to Ashley Creek.
The project will be located in the City Shops expansion area (STX-63).
430247 Capital Outlay: from Capital (10193)
952 Storm Drain Correction - Carryover $647,940, New Appropriation $102,060 - Total $750,000
The goal of this project(s) is to provide design and construction for areas in the City that are in need of storm drainage systems
and storm drainage system upgrades (STX-21). Projects include:
· Areas in sections of the City that have extensive ponding at the intersection caused from rain events.
· Improve curb and gutter flow to eliminate ponding and deterioration of pavement.

This project involves complete replacement of the Sewer/Storm Shop roof. A recent inspection revealed the roof has exceeded its
anticipated lifespan. Cost split between Sewer and Storm-Total Cost $90,000
954 Two Mile Drainage and Steet Improvement Prj (STX-43) - $460,000
This project replaces approximately 360' of varying sized culverts and 750' of ditch restoration along 2 Mile Dr. Project begins at a storm
inlet in the west intersection of Hawthorn Dr. continues east in the north ROW until ditch flow is piped under 2 Mile and Glenwood.
Ditch flow is resumed on the east side o Glenwood until the point of a CMP inlet at the FWP parking lot. Existing culverts and drainage
ditches are improperly graded and undersized. Project is necessitated due to slow drainage which contributes excess groundwater to the area,
affecting nearby residents. Project costs also include $3,315,000 HUD grant and $520,000 in the Westside TIF fund.
Total Project cost is $4,294,923
957 Wedgewood & Sherwood Design/Survey - Carryover $50,000
Funds include design and survey work for a project that will replace an existing undersized storm sewer with a history of surcharging.
The existing sewer is inaccessible and follows the common property line for 4 residential lots between Sherwood Lane and Wedgewood
Lane. The sewer is anticipated to be replaced and upsized through pipe bursting. Additional downstream improvements north of
Kalispell Middle School on Wedgewood Lane are anticipated to include new inlets, 2 manhole structures, approximately 300 feet of
new storm sewer main, and approximately 200 feet of ditch regrading along Northern Lights Boulevard (STX-58).
974 3rd St E Reconstruction from 1st Ave to 3rd Ave E - Carryover $226,100
This project will reconstruct 3rd St E from 1st to 3rd Ave E. This project includes the replacement of curbs which are in disrepair
as well as the relocation and reconstruction of curbing to create boulevards. Sidewalk ramps at intersections will be brought into
compliance with ADA/PROWAG requirements. Approaches at alleys and driveways will be reconstructed where necessary to
comply with ADA/PROWAG requirements. Where possible, existing curbing and sidewalk will be protected. The project also
includes drainage improvements at 2nd Ave E and corrects conflicts with existing power infrastructure (STX-62).

GOALS OF THIS DEPARTMENT:
SOLID WASTE
FUND #5510
The Solid Waste Department collects and disposes of solid waste material from residential and commercial
entities to provide a cleaner and healthier condition for the City of Kalispell.
The FY26 budget supports the continuation of solid waste collection and transport operations to service
existing and new residential/commercial customers while maintaining a high level of service. This year’s
budget supports a transition to front load service for commercial customers with the addition of new
equipment, one employee and an equipment storage facility.
1. Collect, handle, and transport solid waste in a safe and effective manner.
2. Provide solid waste services to the community of Kalispell in a respectable and reliable manner.
SOLID WASTE FUND
FUND #5510
The solid waste fund receives almost all of its revenue from property assessments. The solid waste
fund should have enough cash available at July 1st (and January 1st) to pay expenses, less expected
revenues, through December (June). In the solid waste fund, like other assessed operating funds, a
beginning cash carryover of 55%-75% of budgeted expenditures has been sufficient to pay the fund
expenses through December if a balanced budget is presented. Beginning operating cash carryover
was 86%, is 47% for fiscal year 2026, and is estimated to begin fiscal year 2027 at 48-50%

Travel and Hospitality Industry:
• Canadian visitations have long been a staple to the Kalispell and Flathead County
economy and is the number one international market to our area generating year-
round leisure travel, participation in sporting events, recreational shopping and
investment in businesses and real estate. The impacts of recent US/Canada
economic policies are generating cancellations of leisure trips and group bookings.
• Recent concerns and uncertainty around tariffs, inflation, personal finances and a
potential recession impact domestic leisure, International FIT and group travel planning.
• Glacier National Park has continued the vehicle reservation pilot system for summer
of 2025 adding a timed-entry component to the reservations. Separate vehicle
reservations are now required for the west side of the Going-to-the-Sun Road, North
Fork/Polebridge entrance.
• Kalispell hotel demand decreased 4.7% in 2024. Supply has fluctuated since 2022
ending 2024 at a decrease of 1.8%. RevPAR had seen steady growth since 2022
based on solid occupancy and strong ADR. (STR)
• Short-term rentals continued to have reduced Demand and outpacing the drop in
Supply, netting a decrease in Occupancy. Total Available Listings and ADR vary per
month but have generally slowed compared to the large increases we were seeing
in recent years. (AirDNA)
Northwest Montana:
• Anticipate continued but slower business and community growth than in 2024.
• Uncertainty with federal work force, notably the potential staffing and funding
restrictions with GNP and Flathead National Forest.
• Climate conditions continue to become more unpredictable and severe creating
challenges when promoting outdoor recreation and outdoor sports and events.
Seasonal weather impacts include low snowpack, wildfires and unhealthy air quality,
low water levels impacting water recreation on Flathead Lake and fisheries
throughout the region. Outdoor recreation plays an important role as a driver of
visitations for Kalispell and northwest Montana. As climate events become more
frequent and severe, the need for product development to attract and retain visitors
becomes greater.
• Aquatic invasive species pose a threat to the Flathead Basin waterways. Introduction
of non-native species disrupts the balance of native ecosystems threatening the
recreation viability in our area. Discover Kalispell will continue to support FWP’s
communications of Clean, Drain and Dry and watercraft inspection stations.

Discover Kalispell – FY26 DMO Plan Page 11
WHAT RESEARCH SUPPORTS THE FY26 DMO STRATEGY
1. A decline in Canadian visitations will directly impact Kalispell’s visitor economy in
2025. The political climate is directly influencing personal travel decisions. People are
not just canceling leisure trips—they’re canceling entire group bookings. That impacts
hotels, restaurants, event venues, and local retailers.
The first quarter 2025 data quantifies the perceived decline in Canadian travel to Montana:
• Credit card spending by Canadians in Kalispell decreased 13% in Jan’25 and 36% in
Feb’25 (YoY).
• Border crossings into NW MT decreased 14.8% in Feb’25 and 26% in Mar’25 (YoY).
• Kalispell hotels are reporting a 50% decline in Canadian room nights in March,
cancellation of a CAN tour group resulting in a $36,000 loss of revenue for one
hotel, and multiple cancellations by youth sports groups for spring and summer
tournaments.
• Due to high number of critical comments received on Discover Kalispell’s organic and
paid promotions in Canada, we have temporarily paused all campaigns. We will
continue to monitor the data and restart paid and/or organic social campaigns in the
Canadian market at the appropriate time.
2. Lodging data reveals available capacity year-round. While emphasizing promotions
during the shoulder seasons, it's important to note a decline in peak season occupancy
at hotels and overall slowing in short-term rental demand in the summer months.
Kalispell Hotel Performance – 2024 (STR):
• Average occupancy June-September: 79% (+1.7% YoY)
• Average occupancy October–May (2023-2024): 43.5% (-8.8% YoY)
Kalispell Short Term Rental data indicates a slowing compared to the steady growth of
inventory and demand experienced between 2020-2022. January through April 2025
compared to 2024 (AirDNA):
• Listing nights booked decreased 36%
• Listing nights available decreased 27%
• Room nights booked decreased 30%
• Occupancy decreased 5%
3. The ITRR 2023 Montana Resident Attitudes Toward Tourism report shows that the
perception of overcrowding and tourism’s value versus negative impact appears to be
improving from the record highs that were seen in 2021-2022.
Discover Kalispell – FY26 DMO Plan Page 12
• 69% of MT residents agree that the benefits of tourism outweigh the negative
impacts.
• 75% of residents agree that tourism promotion by the state benefited their
community economically.
The data also shows a decline in number of residents that feel that if tourism were to
increase the overall quality in life would improve.
• 33% agreed or strongly agreed, down from 35% in 2022 and 55% in 2019.
4. Marketing Trends
A. 2025 Trends Report - Crowdriff
• DMOs are trying to strike the right balance between organic and paid social. They
report having the most success with Meta ads, and IG Reels. Short form videos
perform best according to 89% of DMO’s surveyed.
• Leverage UCG and give old videos new life by adding listicles and montages.
• While 75% are concerned about AI data accuracy and 51% have ethical concerns,
the majority use some form of AI and anticipate using it more in 2025.
B. What AI Means for Destination Discovery - ETourism Summit, 2025
AI is transforming how destinations connect with travelers. DMO’s should be mindful to
take a proactive approach of their visibility within AI and use technology to connect with
visitors in real time. 42% of web traffic is now bots – if a bot doesn’t find what it is looking
for it moves on.
• How to be discoverable by AI: AI functions differently than SEO. AI scans content,
layout and visuals versus looking for keywords. The structure of your website
makes a difference whether you are discoverable.
• How to fuel AI with knowledge: translate the content you have into what AI can
understand, it looks for clarity, structure and context rather than emotion and
inspiration. Use an AI system that scrapes content from your website to give
accurate information in your brand’s voice.
• How to shift from one-way to two-way communications with travelers: travelers
are already talking with AI (ChatGPT, Siri, Alexa). They aren’t just searching, they
are also asking questions. Look at top queries and add practical travel planning
content to your owned media (direction, transportation options,
timing/seasonality considerations).
C. WTF - What the Future report - Kayak
• AI Agents: virtual travel agents are the trip planning tool of the future, going as far
as intuiting our needs and making planning decisions without being asked.
Discover Kalispell – FY26 DMO Plan Page 13
• Wellness: typical travel destination rankings will be influenced heavily by wellness
scores.
• Social shopping: social media is the new search engine including travel purchases.
A recent study from Emplifi shows that 53% of Gen Z and 56% of Millennials have
bought through social media in the past three months, compared to 39% of Gen X
and 29% of Boomers.
• Mindful travel: travelers’ tastes are shifting to the unexplored and being mindful of
their travel impacts.
5. U.S. Market Review – Travel Demand
Downgraded travel forecasts are fueled by concerns around tariffs, unstable stock market,
and slowed GDP growth.
• “Consumers’ short-term outlook for income, business, and labor market
conditions—dropped 9.6 points to 65.2 in March, the lowest level in 12 years.”
(Tourism Economics)
• “The CCI and CSI both declined again in March as consumers responded to
inflationary fears and financial market uncertainty.” (DestiMetrics)
• “International travel to the US is predicted to decline—a result of policy and
rhetoric-driven negative sentiment toward the US. Originally forecast to grow by
9% this year, Tourism Economics’ updated outlook expects international travel to
the US to fall by 9.4% in 2025.” (Tourism Economics)
• Longwoods International shows a more optimistic view of traveler sentiment. A
March’25 survey shows that 94% of Americans have travel plans – a 6% increase
from Feb’25.
• Future Partners April 2025 State of the American Traveler report showed that
travelers are changing buying behaviors due to uncertainty of economy. 27% of
those surveyed expect to choose more affordable destinations for their travel
plans over the next six months, 25.9% will use rewards programs to save money
and 24.2% will travel less frequently.

DISTRICT
FY2025/26
Annual Budget
The downtown area is a
vital component of the local
economy, housing a mix of
retail, office, and residential
spaces. However, a significant
number of buildings in
our downtown community
require facade renovations to
improve their appearance and
functionality.
The City of Kalispell
has developed the 2017
Downtown Plan that outlines
a vision for revitalizing
the downtown area, and
the Kalispell Business
Improvement District will
amplify the current façade
improvement programs
as part of the
revitalization process.
In November 2024, KBID
secured a five-year annual
allocation of $20,000 in
Tax Increment Financing
(TIF) funds through the
Technical Assistance
Program to support
façade improvements. Of
this funding, $15,000 is
designated for the downtown
TIF district, while $5,000
is allocated to the
West Side TIF district.

VISION STATEMENT By creating a beautiful downtown culture, Kalispell will be an attractive,
worthy place for the delight of its residents, and the continued success of its entrepreneurs.
MISSION STATEMENT The Kalispell Business Improvement District is an organization
comprised of its members: proud and dedicated people who work together to inspire and create
a healthy, vibrant downtown culture that embodies its rich history of beauty, integrity and
kindness while fostering a thriving economy.
PURPOSE To accomplish its vision of creating a vibrant and dynamic business district the BID will:
n Build effective partnerships with businesses, institutions, property owners and city
government to maintain a clean and safe community.
n Attract, retain and promote quality businesses and retail segments to support our local
economy.
n Promote Kalispell as a renowned destination point with a business, retail, entertainment and
institutional mix offering unique products, services and events.
n Promote Kalispell as the preferred place to shop, work, learn and live.
BID ASSESSMENT FORMULA
Montana Code Annotated 7-12-1133 (2)
directs the governing body to annually
assess the entire cost of the district against
the entire district using a method that best
ensures that the assessment on each lot
or parcel is equitable in proportion to the
benefits to be received.
The BID Board has reviewed the current
assessment formula and is recommending
that the formula for fiscal year 2025 remain
the same as the 2024 fiscal year. All property
owners within the district will be assessed
a flat fee of $100.00, $0.015 per square foot
assessment and a taxable value assessment
of .0225%. Owner occupied residential
properties will not be assessed.
The formula would leave the overall budget
at approximately the same level as the 2024
fiscal year. After discussion of the new work
plan the BID Board of Directors believes
that the proposed assessment formula will
ensure proportional benefits for the entire
district.
Organizational and Administration $48,878
This portion of the BID budget supports core administrative needs that keep
our district running smoothly. It covers essentials like liability insurance, office
supplies, financial management, professional development conferences, and
storage for downtown holiday décor. It also funds a full-time leadership director
who helps guide and implement BID programs and initiatives throughout the year.
Maintenance $35,000
Each year, our dedicated maintenance team plays a vital role in keeping downtown
clean, vibrant, and welcoming for residents, visitors, and businesses alike. From
watering trees and flowers to collecting litter and caring for corner planters, our
Downtown Ambassadors work behind the scenes to ensure the district stays
beautiful and well-maintained.
Communications and Marketing $3,500
In partnership with the Kalispell Downtown Association, the Kalispell Business
Improvement District launched a new look for downtown Kalispell. The BID
supports the social media, online, and other marketing expenses to help promote
downtown business development, community, and special events.
Development Activity $5,000
The KBID maintains strong partnerships with downtown businesses, property
owners, the Kalispell Chamber of Commerce, Discover Kalispell, the City of
Kalispell, and other key community stakeholders to grow, improve, and develop the
downtown community. This portion of the budget provides flexibility to address
unforeseen expenses such as golf cart repairs, unexpected services, supply cost
increases, and additional resources needed to support ongoing programs and
additional services.
Façade Improvement Grants $25,000
Through our façade improvement grants program, the Kalispell Business
Improvement District is committed to partnering with downtown business and
property owners to ensure that our downtown area remains a vibrant, historically
preserved, charming, and welcoming destination for years to come.
Downtown Event Sponsorship $1,000
The BID contributes funding to the Kalispell Downtown Association to support its
events, staff, marketing, and promotion of downtown retailers. Those events for
2024/2025 will include Frosty the Brewfest, The Spring Mixer, Ladies Night, two
Thursday Fest events, KreepySpell, and the Holiday Stroll.
Holiday Lighting $5,000
Each holiday season, the Kalispell Business Improvement District brings festive
spirit to the heart of downtown by illuminating the streets with cheerful lighting
and seasonal décor. These decorations, which help create a warm and welcoming
atmosphere for the community, are carefully stored year-round in a leased facility
near downtown.
Summer Flowers $10,000
Each year, the BID purchases, installs, and maintains 175 hanging flower baskets
and corner planters throughout downtown Kalispell. These vibrant floral displays
enhance the charm and beauty of our streets, creating a bright and welcoming
environment for residents, visitors, and local businesses alike.
KALISPELL BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS
KALISPELL BUSINESS
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS
Kalispell Business Improvement District
(KBID) programs are funded through
special assessments collected from
property owners within the Downtown
Business Improvement District. For Fiscal
Year 2025/2026, the total assessment is
projected to be $110,000.
In addition to these assessments, KBID
anticipates approximately $6,800 in
revenue from maintenance contracts,
reimbursements, and interest. An
estimated $15,000 in operating reserves
will also be carried forward from the
previous year to support ongoing
initiatives and services.
KBID has also secured $20,000 in
annual funding through a Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) grant to support a new
façade improvement program, helping
