We will begin preparation of the final report in approximately
one week.
At present, we expect to have the entire report completed by

Councilman Miron moved Matelich Construction be paid final payment for Schedule I.
Seconded by. Councilman Sliter. Carried.
Councilman Miron reported that Water Superintendent Longpre had closed the gate entry
to the water reservoir area adjacent to the Golf Course as children entering to
retrieve golf balls were walking on the reservoir covers which caused small pebles
and other debris to fall into the reservoir. There is also possible hazard from high
voltage electricity as there is easy access to the pump house roof from one side
and from the roof danger of contact with the high voltage electricity.

183
Councilman Schwartz suggested that the fencing would probably not be competely success-
ful in keeping youngsters from gaining entry to obtain the golf balls as they would
probably find a way to get into the area.
Councilman Sliter suggested that the Golf Association be consulted as to a possible
solution to the situation. Held in committee for further consideration.
Councilman Miron reported a letter has been sent to Atlas Engineering regarding the
gravel in the sewer lines but to date have had no reply. Deferred for further
consideration.
' Street 6 Ailey - Councilman Happ
Councilman Happ reported paving on 1st. Ave. West will begin Wednesday at Sth Street.
Ask that news media look at streets, that have been completed recently such as 2nd.
Street East as well as those that are rough because of construction projects.
Safety - Councilman Happ
Reported receipt of letter from Forest Supervisor Ed Corps regarding dangers of:
- leaving parallel parked cars from the drivers side especially on Main Street;
- Jay Walking.
Police Chief Waggoner reported that an ordinance change would be necessary before the
police can effectively remedy these hazards.
Police Court Audit Request - Councilman Sliter
Councilman Sliter reported that he had gone to the Police Judge Office and does not
feel there is a need of an audit, but that the systems used need to be revamped -
some study should be given to systems and procedures. Recommend have system reviewed.
' Proposed Purchase of Property from City - Councilman Knapp
Councilman Knapp used the blackboard to draw a map to indicate to Mayor Bjorneby and
councilmen the location and shape of the property being considered. He stated that in
his opinion the property value was $350.00 to $450.00. Councilman Miron moved
acceptance of committee report and offer property for sale at $450.00. Seconded by
Councilman Happ. Carried.
Hsployment - Councilman Daley
Councilman.Daley reported the committee,will be interviewing applicants for the part
time clerk for the Police JudgeThursdayat 1:30 P.M. in the council chambers.
Councilman Daley reported that in regard to Hawthorne Park we are still.negotiating
to lower the dimensions for asphalt and fencing and will be spending less than we were
authorized to spend on this project. This is part of our BOR program.
Councilman Daley reported that there are people interested in tennis who have ideas
which may be different from the parks department plan for adding tennis facilities
and introduced Mr. Jim Vidal, Chairmen of a committee of the Kalispell Tennis Club
for better tennis courts and Joe Daley, President of the Kalispell Tennis Club.
Mr. Vidal said that it is the contention of the club that this town does not have
tennis courts and went on to explain that the final surface has been omitted an the
Kalispell Tennis Courts and requested that the tennis club be given the opportunity
' to roan a feasibility study of doing the final surface on existing tennis courts rather
than constructing new courts at Hawthorne. Ask the City to consider the possibility
of putting on final surface and approximated the cost to be $1,400.00 to $2,400.00 - -
allow the tennis club to prepare survey.
Mr. Vidal said that tennis is an inexpensive sport to get into. He recommended that
tennis courts be grouped in larger complex and reported advantages such as easier for
Instructors to train larger numbers, maintenance costs are less when courts are in
larger complex, -and more interest in the sport is generated. He again requested the
building of the courts at Hawthorne be reconsidered.
Mr. Joe Daley, President of the Tennis Club, said that he is impressed with the
consideration the council and city employees are giving to tennis compared to the
past. The council has been forward thinking and quite generous to tennis and can
rely on the tennis club for information. To promote tennis one or two locations with
UZ
a number of courts is desirable -and there is a need for artificial surf$ce other than
asphalt.
Councilman Daley reported that the Hawthorne courts are the last of a three year program
and that this should be completed., The City has a two year program coming up and welcomes
the involvement of the .tennis club in this new program.
Councilman Schwartz said that some areas of the City such as Hawthorne Park have no
recreational facilities'and felt the citizens in this area would object to this being
taken away from them.
BUSINESS LICENSE - Councilman Sampson
Councilman Sampson reported that at the noon meeting of the committee the committee
recommended that the proposed business license ordinance be dropped.. Councilman
