P.O. Box 1997 Kalispell, Montana 59903-1997 (406) 758-7000 Fax (406)7757 REPORT TO: Mayor Johnson and Kalispell City Council FROM: Doug Russell, City Manager SUBJECT: MOU- Park Development Partnership MEETING DATE: December 16, 2024 BACKGROUND: In May of this year, Council received a presentation on a development concept for vacant parcels at the West end of the Parkline Trail. The presentation included a vision for a park development on privately owned land and the concept for incorporating a parcel of land that the city is in the process of acquiring (currently scheduled for closing on or before February 21, 2025). Council agreed to acquire this parcel with a buy/sell agreement in 2023. This parcel was approved for acquisition under the Westside Urban Renewal Area as it fits with the Plan’s strategies for “providing sufficient parkland/open space to meet the needs of the surrounding neighborhood.” Following the presentation in May, Council provided direction to move forward with this concept. One of the steps in moving forward has been establishing an initial memorandum of understanding for the planning of improvements on these parcels with the expectation that these sites will be developed for public park purposes, identifying maintenance responsibilities and potential funding obligations. This MOU is attached for consideration and provides the framework for the partnership and establishes the foundation for future agreements/approvals that are anticipated as the project progresses. Additionally, the concept that was presented in May is attached to this memo, along with a map of the parcels. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution 6236 authorizing the City Manager to enter into the Memorandum of Understanding with the Bibler Legacy foundation for a public park development project.

The Bibler Family Trust has purchased an approximately 20-acre site, ringed by additional public property, on which to construct a new public park and present it as a gift to the city. The Trust is providing the initial phase of the park; no tax dollars are being used for design or construction. We are early in design and public input will be considered as we develop the design further. The site is rich with character, expansive views, two creeks, wildlife, a rich history, and within walking distance of neighborhoods and schools. This special place is the foundation for Kalispell’s next great park! 2 NEED & OPPORTUNITY Downtown Kalispell NEED OPPORTUNITY Ŝ Growing population Ŝ Well-situated land Ŝ Schools nearby Ŝ Gift of park property & features Ŝ New housing and apartments Ŝ Educational components Ŝ Urban connectivity Ŝ Trail connections Ŝ Transform neglected site Ŝ Celebrating history Ŝ Lack of nearby parks Ŝ Protecting habitat & water Ŝ Ongoing support for maintenance 3 CIVIC LEGACY | ELEVATING THE CITY! Conrad Mansion Woodland Park Our city’s parks are a legacy of people with vision — the foresight in 1903 to acquire the 40-acre parcel of trees and lagoons that became Woodland Park; a Water Superintendent’s advocacy in the 1930s for preserving riparian lands that became Lawrence Park; and the 138-acre Kidsport Athletic Complex, envisioned by the community leaders early in the 20th century. Kalispell Kids Court Complex Lawrence Park 4 FAMILY LEGACY | RELOCATED & REIMAGINED BIBLER GARDENS Sam Bibler was a passionate civic cheerleader. Bibler Gardens is a legacy of this, welcoming visitors to his home to enjoy the beautiful grounds and views of the valley to this day. The new park will celebrate that legacy in perpetuity with a new Bibler Gardens as one of its park elements, welcoming all, year-round. Yet, it will also be reimagined with maintenance and Kalispell’s natural climate being primary considerations. 5 LOCATION | ROOTED IN THE CITY’S GROWING WEST SIDE KALISPELL HWY THREE MIDDLE 93 MILE DR HAWTHORNE PARK SCHOOL N MERIDIAN RD LAWRENCE PARK RUSSELL NM ST ELEMENTARY AIN AHO E ID ST ST AHO W ID HW Y AL T9 3 ST FEN TRAIL EN TER LINE WC ARK WOODLAND PARK AY ISPE LL P NW HWY 2 KAL PETERSON SM ELROD ELEMENTARY ELEMENTARY AIN ST S MERIDIAN RD R CORNELIUS TO HIS FLATHEAD W HEDGES 1 ST HIGH SCHOOL 1 ELEMENTARY IC E GR N AT THE OR FOY’S LAKE RD AIRPORT RD RN L AI TR HW Y 93 Y HW BEGG PARK LONE PINE STATE PARK T9 AL RANKIN 3 FEET ELEMENTARY 0 300 600 1200 1”=600’ 6 SITE | AT A CROSSROADS, ACCESSIBLE, RINGED BY GROWING COMMUNITY HWY 2 AIL LINE TR Y ARK ST HW LL P TER NW IS PE EN AY KAL WC 9 ALT FEN 3 BNSF PARCEL PETERSON ELEMENTARY NEW PARK SITE S MERIDIAN RD R TO MDT HIS PARCEL IC GR TN EA NT ER TH OR IL RA FEET FOY’S LAKE RD 0 100 200 400 1”=200’ 7 THIS SITE IS A TREASURE 8 HABITAT & WATER | NATIVE PLANTS, ENHANCED HABITAT, IMPROVED WATER QUALITY 9 HISTORY | SAWMILL, RAILROAD, HISTORIC TOWNSITE OF ASHLEY PROJECT PROJECT SITE SITE 1955 2013 10 CONNECTED TO COMMUNITY 11 VALUES The Bibler Family Trust’s intent is to create a park with safety, accessibility, and historic character at the forefront of design.
