SUBJECT: Approval of a Use Agreement with KALICO for an art installation project
on traffic signal boxes in Downtown Kalispell
MEETING DATE: April 18, 2022
BACKGROUND: At a previous meeting, Council approved a Use Agreement for a first
phase of a project authorizing KALICO to move forward with an art installation project that
allows them to engage the art community in an effort where artists and renderings are selected to
be used to wrap the traffic signal boxes in downtown Kalispell with a vinyl wrap. KALICO has
completed that phase and is now looking at a second phase to complete an additional 8 traffic
signal boxes.
The Kalispell Downtown Plan that has been previously adopted supports efforts of this nature
with the following goals:
5. Create a unique and identifiable image for Downtown Kalispell:
e) Encourage public/private partnerships to fund the creation and display of
public art.
6. Become the epicenter for arts, culture and historic preservation within the Flathead
Valley:
f) Encourage public/private partnerships to fund the creation and display of
art.
Attached is a Use Agreement authorizing KALICO to move forward with the installation and
maintenance of the vinyl wraps on 8 traffic signal boxes.
FISCAL IMPACTS: This project would not have direct fiscal impact as it would be funded
through KALICO and their respective arrangements as identified in the agreement.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Use
Agreement with KALICO for the installation and maintenance of vinyl wraps on 8 traffic signal
boxes in Downtown Kalispell.

Re: Resolution 6067 – A Resolution Approving the Request of Distribution of
Funds from the Bridge and Road Safety and Accountability (BaRSAA)
Program
Meeting Date: April 18, 2022
BACKGROUND: With the passage of State House Bill 473: Bridge and Road Safety and
Accountability Act (BaRSAA) in 2017, the City will receive BaRSAA fuel tax funds in addition
to the existing gas tax distributions. The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) will
allocate the BaRSAA collected funds to cities, towns, counties, and consolidated city-county
governments using the same ratios used to distribute existing motor gas tax revenues to local
governments.
As of March 1, 2022, local governments may request distribution of their BaRSAA allocations
from MDT. Local governments must match all distributions from the BaRSAA account with a
minimum 5% funding match. Matching local government funds can be used from any source
except the regular gas tax allocation. A request for the distribution of funds must include:
(a) the amount of funding sought (up to but not exceeding the amount allocated for that
year and any prior years’ reservations);
(b) copy of an adopted resolution to request and accept the funding by the governing
body, identifying the source of the matching funds for the distribution; and
(c) a description of the project or projects to be funded.
Additional information on the BaRSAA program is available on the following MDT website:
http://www.mdt.gov/roadbridge/. BaRSAA funds can be used:
(a) to pay for the construction, reconstruction, maintenance, and repair of rural roads, city
or town streets and alleys, bridges, or roads and streets that the city has the
responsibility to maintain; or
(b) as the match for federal funds used for the construction of roads and streets that are
part of the national, primary, secondary, or urban highway systems, or roads and
streets that the city has the responsibility to maintain.
PROJECT: Kalispell intends to use the 2022 and 2023 BaRSAA funds to support the street
reconstruction portion of the 8th Avenue West Water and Street Reconstruction Project. The
project is scheduled to start construction in 2023. The BaRSAA 2022 funding will be carried and
added to the 2023 BaRSAA allocations for the 2023 construction. The 8th Ave West project
starts at Center Street, and continues south to 11th St West, then east 1 block to 7th Ave West.
The project entails reconstruction of the street corridor including water system replacements,
stormwater runoff improvements, new curb and gutter, new sub-base material where necessary,
and new asphalt surfacing. The 8th Ave W Water and Street Reconstruction Project is a large
project with multiple funding sources. Please see table below for a complete project cost and
funding breakout.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Doug Russell, City Manager
FROM: Charles Harball, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 1876 – Amending Kalispell Municipal Code 3-18 to
include the Parkline as an Exception to the Public Places in which the
Consumption of Alcohol is Prohibited Subject to Regulation
MEETING DATE: April 18, 2022 – Regular Council Meeting
BACKGROUND: With the Parkline nearing completion the public will soon be enjoying the park
and its amenities. The City foresaw that the park would be attractive for groups seeking to use it as a
venue for events, including events in which alcohol would be available. The City already has
permitting regulation in place for such events in other City owned venues. This regulation requires,
among other things, the applicant to acquire appropriate liability insurance, compliance with all
Department of Revenue requirements and a bounded area in which alcohol is served and consumed.
Given these parameters, the Council is being asked to consider an amendment to the existing
code at KMC 3-18 in which the Parkline is added at Paragraph C, to the short list of City properties in
which a permit to have an event in which alcohol is served and consumed may be obtained subject to
the regulations therein. The amendment qualifies the permit to require that the trail remain open to the
public and the hours of the event be restricted to the hours of 11:00am to 11:00pm.
Finally, as a clerical update, the amendment is proposed to change Paragraph B in which the
Museum at Central School name is corrected to its new name of Northwest Montana History Museum
and the word Museum is added to Conrad Mansion.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Council consider a motion to approve the first
reading of Ordinance No. 1876, an ordinance amending Kalispell Municipal Code 3-18 to add the
Parkline to paragraph C as a city owned property in which a permit to have an event in which alcohol
is served and consumed may be obtained subject to the regulations therein, correcting the name of the
Northwest Montana History Museum in paragraph B, declaring an effective date and authorizing the
City Attorney to codify the same.
ALTERNATIVES: The Council may discuss and offer other alternatives.

ORDINANCE NO. 1876

MAY BE OBTAINED SUBJECT TO THE REGULATIONS THEREIN, CORRECTING
THE NAME OF THE NORTHWEST MONTANA HISTORY MUSEUM IN PARAGRAPH
B, DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY ATTORNEY
TO CODIFY THE SAME.
WHEREAS, it was anticipated that the Parkline would be attractive for groups seeking to use it
as a venue for events, including events in which alcohol would be available; and
WHEREAS, the City has, within KMC 3-18, permitting regulation in place for events in other
City owned venues in which alcohol will be served and consumed; and
WHEREAS, the existing regulation requires, among other things, the applicant to acquire all
appropriate liability insurance, compliance with all Department of Revenue
requirements and a bounded area in which alcohol is served and consumed; and
WHEREAS, as the Parkline bounds many mixed-use properties including residential, it would
be appropriate to limit the hours of events to the hours of 11:00am to 11:00pm; and
WHEREAS, Paragraph B of Kalispell Municipal Code 3-18 uses the name of the Museum at
Central School which has since changed its name to Northwest Montana History
Museum and should be corrected.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KALISPELL AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Ordinance No. 1355 enacted by the Kalispell City Council, last
amended as Ordinance No. 1786 and codified in the Kalispell
Municipal Code at 3-18 is hereby amended as set forth in Exhibit
“A” attached hereto and is hereby fully incorporated herein by this
reference.
SECTION 2. The City Attorney is hereby authorized and directed to recodify this
Ordinance.
SECTION 3. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its final
passage.

B. Exceptions for Leased or Managed City Properties. Certain City owned properties, as set
forth in this paragraph, are leased and/or managed by separate entities. If the entity that leases or

Why are you interested in serving this board, committee, or commission:
The City of Kalispell has some very exciting potential in terms of growth. lt had a great
deal of it's historic downtown buildings intact and the Core plan and new linear park is
going to open up some incredible opportunities also. Well thought out development can
greatly increase the desireability of a City for business owners and developers, plus
make it a better place to live, work, shop, etc. for it's residents.

I have served on the Architectural Review Committee for several terms now, and feel my
architectural experience is of value when reviewing projects. Not only do I feel I have a
good handle on the aesthetics of buildings, I also understand some of the practicalities
such as budgets and current building practices. Serving on this committee, I continuously
strive to work with applicants to come up with the best possible project - problem solving
with the applicants to achieve results that are good for everyone.
