Honorable Mayor and City Council:
At the last regular meeting of the Kalispell City -County Planning Board
held November 28, 1972, the Board discussed the procedure for reviewing
subdivisions and/or proposed annexations to the City of Kalispell. In
March of this year, after several months of review with Mr. Schwartz of
the Annexation Committee, the Board adopted and recommended your adoption
of "Interim Platting and Annexation Procedures". Subsequent to this
recommendation, your body by motion did approve the procedure. The pro-
cedure did specify the time required for review by the Planning Board.
At this time, it would appear that the time period available for the
Board, Annexation Committee, and City Council to review and to art on
proposals is the point of contention.
In light of the discussion, the Planning Board passed the following
motion:
"That the Kalispell City -County Planning Board increase their
regular meeting dates by one meeting a month, thereby meeting
on the second and fourth Tuesday's of the month; and that we
recommend to the City Council that consideration be given by
them to a possible change in their meeting date from the -first
and second Monday of the month to the first and third Monday."
This recommendation for your consideration could possibly lead to improved

Kalispell City -County Planning Board.
Respectfully yours,
