That a petition signed by farmers and gardenersinterested in participating in the farmers market would be desirable e an indication of the period of time (between beginning month and ending month of opening) the market would be open. Councilman Miron encouraged them to proceed and come back to the Mayor and Council with a more firm proposal. ADDRESSING THE COUNCIL Mr. Stan Halvorson, an active member of the Lions Club, suggested that the reaction of the Lions Club of this use of the Lions Park Area should be sought as the Lions Club had developed this park, south of town, which is immediately south of the Babe Ruth Park Ball Field. 574 Mr. Floyd Skogen, a resident of southwest Kalispell, ask the Mayor and Council about the possibility of diverting Spring Creek to help avoid the flooding situation that occurred last week. Councilman Miron reported that this problem would be discussed under his committee report. COMMITTEE REPORTS Sewer & Water - Sewer Costs - Volume Water Users - Councilman Miron asked Mr. Halvorson of Equity Supply Company to relate to Mayor Bjorneby and Councilman the increase in sewer costs to -the Equity -Supply Co. since the new sewer rate ordinance became effective. Mr. Halvorson reported that the Equity Supply Co. had experienced a large increase In sewer costs under the new ordinance, the billing for sewer increasing -from - $200.00 to $700.00. The increase was mostly at the creamery plant where the water Is used for cooling the condensers and is just as pure after use as before, and that there would be a higher usage in the sue r, making the sewer charge even higher during the summer months under the present rate. Mr. Halvorson said he realized that the city was making a large expenditure in improving the sewer treat- ment facilities in Kalispell, but that the increase experienced by Equity was excessive and that if the city would not make some different type of charge for high water users, that Equity could possibly re -circulate some of the water to cut down on consumption. He would like to he" the sewer billing get -down to the area of $500.00 on a bimonthly basis. Councilman Miron asked Max Lauder, City Engineer, for comments. Mr. Lauder reported that even though the water that is returned to the sewer system is just plain water, sewer lines and sewer plant still has to be designed to handle that volume of water. He said that perhaps there could be a different type of charge for high water users, by adjustment of charge on volume over 600,000 gallons in a two month billing period. Possibly adjust to 50 to 60% of water, on the volume over 600,000 gallons. Mr. Lauder reported that perhaps a half dozen users might be affected by this type of adjustment. Councilman Schwartz moved the Sewer & Water Committee take these accounts under advisement and report back at the next meeting. Seconded by Councilman Miron. Carried. Flood Situation - Councilman Miron referred to the Areawide Water/Sewer Plan for Kalispell, Montana, dated June, 1972, prepared by Engineers, Thomas, Dean & Hoskins, Inc. of Great Falls and Bozeman, Montana. This study showed this area (southwest Kalispell) as a high water - flood potential and referred to the last chart in the Areawide Plan. Councilman Miron reported that we knew it could happen - we know the solution - we cannot afford the cost of the solution. Councilman Miron asked Mr. Daniels, engineer with Thomas, Dean & Hoskins, to further elaborate on the problem. Mr. Daniel$, with the aid of city maps, showed areas of both surface run off and areas of the city feeding combined storm and sanitary sewage into the sewer lines, resulting in the lines becoming unable to handle the capacity. This results in the backing up of sewer lines in addition to the surface water problem. In response to question of Councilman Miron, Mr. Daniels reported the cost of remedy as out- lined in the areawide plan would probably be in the area of 1h million dollars at the present time. Mr. Lauder, City Engineer, in response to question of Councilman Miron, reported that there is little the city can do with the present manpower and funding. Councilman Miron reported the next store sewer extension from the Courthouse to Center Street on 1st Ave. West,. with laterals over toward Main Street would . afford a small measure of relief, as central business district storm water would be diverted. The State of Montana has awarded the bid for this storm sewer extension to Lockram, the low bidder, in the amount of $148,000.00. Project Shut -Down - Councilman Miron reported that Tynes Construction has prepared for winter shut - down, according to guidelines of the engineer, except for one item, a fire hydrant at the southwest corner of Buttrey Food Store - this is to be fixed by Tynea or 1 575 fixed by the city and charged to Tynes Construction Co. Matelich Construction Co. has shut down its portion of the project as of January 11, 1974, and is to resume in May. There are 34 calendar days left on the contract. Street & Alley Center Street Costs . Councilman Happ moved Center Street Costs (bills of Charles Siderius, $280.00 and Glacier Concrete & Metal Pipe Co.. $720.15 and other related costs) be paid out of Revenue Sharing budgeted funds. Seconded by Councilman Miron. Carried. Alley between 1st Avenue & 2nd Avenue East, 300 Block - Councilman Rapp reported that possibly this alley should be one way to help solve the congestion problem. Following discussion, the matter was referred to the Street & Alley and Safety Committees. The question of a stop sign at Wyoming & 5th Avenue W.N. referred to the same joint committee. Parking Lot - Councilman Happ recommended that in the request of 1st Federal Savings & Loan, to enter parking lot lease agreement for lot at corner of 1st Avenue West & 2nd,Street, (old Texaco station location), the city not be involved in blacktopping, etc. Finance - Garbage Charge Complaint - The committee is making further investigation regarding garbage assessment for Mr. Egged. This was-the-peimon making application for refund of assessment for one garbage charge, which was denied. Garbage - ' Councilman Sampson reported that City Clerk Beardslee has received some information from the Conrad National Bank in regard to adding the garbage assessment billing to the sewer and water computer billing. The committee will be meeting in the near future to consider this further. Business License - Councilman Sampson reported that the committee has met with the committee of the chamber of commerce, and will have a further meeting on the business license at a noon meeting on January 30th. Gravel - Golf Course - Councilman Schwartz discussed the gravel pit the city owns in the area of the Golf Course. He reported the Golf Association would like the city to determine the boundaries of the gravel pit to enable the Golf Association to make their plans around this boundary. The value of the gravel to the city was also discussed and the question of how much gravel might be available in this gravel pit. Councilman Schwartz rec. ommended that core samples be drilled so that it can be determined how far back the gravel extends. Councilman Schwartz moved that an expenditure, not to exceed $4,000.00, be made out of the Revenue Sharing budget for core samples to determine the extent of the gravel deposit. Seconded by Councilman Miron. Carried. Weiasmans Yard - Councilman Schwartz requested the City Attorney send a letter to Weissman in regard to their annexation - that they take care of junk, fence, and comply with regulations. They have been adding more stuff lately. Safety - Hazardous Materials Seminar - Councilman Thomas moved that two firemen, Roger Bowman and Ted A. Waggener, be author- ised to attend the Hazardous Materials Seminar in Missoula, January 28th through 31st, with travel by private transportation authorized. Seconded by Councilman Miron.
