I. CITY MANAGER, COUNCIL, AND MAYOR REPORTS (No Action)
Interim City Manager Jarod Nygren provided the following staff report:
Page 3 of 5
Kalispell City Council Minutes, November 3, 2025
• The central garage will be on the work session agenda for November 10, 2025, and will
be followed by an executive session to discuss city manager recruitment. Nygren will not
be present at the work session.
• Manager Nygren spoke to the complexities within the tax bills that are currently going
out. He explained the changes the state legislature made to the way taxes are collected
with a larger percentage of the overall pie being taxed on commercial properties with
residential properties seeing a reduction. The city has not made any changes that would
lead to those changes, clarifying it was state legislation.
00:15:18 Council Member Hunter reminded everyone that tomorrow is election day, and
reminded people to go vote and be sure and add their birth year to the envelope as that
requirement is a new state law and ballots are being rejected that do not include that. He then
thanked his opponents in the race for Mayor and said he believes there has been good dialogue in
the community.
00:16:01 Council Member Daoud also reminded people to vote. He then spoke to the way that
the state decided not to reduce property taxes despite having a surplus. He assured people that
the city did not do anything to increase property taxes as the amount the mills are worth is
relatively the same as last year. If people do not like what is going on with property taxes they
should contact their state representative.
00:17:16 Council President Graham congratulated everyone running in campaigns and reminded
people to vote and to drop off ballots in person. He then spoke to his view that the cost of doing
business is born by the end user, so the increase in commercial taxes will be seen in the cost of
products and services.
J. ADJOURNMENT
Council President Graham adjourned the meeting at 7:19 p.m.

REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor Johnson and City Council
FROM: Jarod Nygren, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Boundary Adjustment/Property Transfer to School District 5
DATE: November 17, 2025
BACKGROUND: Following the relocation of the bus barn from the city shops property, it was
brought to staff’s attention that School District 5 also had 1.137 acres of ball fields on city
property. The ball fields are utilized for school activities and have been in place for decades. The
fields are already segregated from the city shops via a fence and would not alter city operations if
the property is transferred.
Section 7-8-4201 (2), M.C.A., allows the city to transfer the property to School District 5 if
passed by two-thirds of the Council. If approved, the proposed action would Quitclaim the 1.137
acres of property to the School District. The action also includes a Reversionary Agreement that
will be executed providing for the land to be transferred back to the city if the land is ever not
used for School District purposes. The agreement will be incorporated fully into the Deed and
recorded simultaneous to the Deed granting the Boundary Line Adjustment.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Council consider Resolution 6299, a
Resolution authorizing transfer of the ownership of 1.137 acres (Parcel A) to School District 5
for the purpose of school functions and authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary
documents for such purpose.

WHEREAS, the City of Kalispell and School District 5 (SD 5) have utilized adjoining parcels
near the city shops property for years, with SD 5 using 1.137 acres of that property
as ball fields; and
WHEREAS, SD 5 requested the City transfer ownership of the 1.137 acre parcel to them in order
to continue to use them for ball fields and for school functions; and
WHEREAS, per M.C.A. Section 7-8-4201(2), a city or town council may sell, dispose of, donate,
or lease any property belonging to the city or town and such action must be made
by an ordinance or resolution passed by a two-thirds vote of all members of the
council; and
WHEREAS, ownership transfer to SD 5 would include a Reversionary Agreement that would
provide for the land to be transferred back to the city if it ceases being used for
School District purposes.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KALISPELL AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Manager is hereby authorized to execute all documents necessary
to effectuate the transfer of 1.137 acres of real property, as described on
Exhibit “A”, to School District 5.

Re: Resolution 6300 - Resolution of Intent Calling for a Public Hearing to
Amend FY2026 General Fund Budget
Meeting Date: November 17, 2025
BACKGROUND: In Fiscal Year 2026, the General Fund Carryover Cash designated funds for
the Central Garage project. These funds are intended to support the procurement of professional
services related to the siting and design of a new Central Garage Facility.
To move forward with the project, a budget amendment is required to appropriate and record the
transfer of funds from the General Fund to the Central Garage Fund. The proposed amendment
establishes a $600,000 transfer out of the General Fund and a corresponding transfer into the
Central Garage Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Kalispell City Council adopt Resolution
6300, a resolution of intent calling for a public hearing on December 1, 2025, to amend the
General Fund budget of the City of Kalispell, Montana, as set forth in the 2025-2026 budget
adopted by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT: This budget amendment utilizes existing General Fund carryover cash that
was previously designated for the Central Garage project. The amendment increases expenditure
appropriations in the General Fund by $600,000 and increases both revenue and expenditure
appropriations in the Central Garage Fund by the same amount. The transfer does not impact the
General Fund’s overall carryover position, as these funds were already included in the FY2026
beginning balance and designated for this purpose.
ALTERNATIVES: Council may elect to amend or reject the resolution of intent to set a public
hearing.
ATTACHMENTS: Resolution 6300

A RESOLUTION OF INTENT CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND THE

WHEREAS, in the budget adopted by the City of Kalispell for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, it is
necessary to document the transfer of funds into and out of the General Fund
without impacting the overall cash position of the city.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KALISPELL AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. On the 1st day of December, 2025, at 7:00 o'clock P.M., in the Council
Chambers, City Hall, 201 1st Avenue East, Kalispell, Montana, the City

For the purpose of siting and design of a new Central Garage Facility.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Johnna Preble, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Ordinance 1947 – Amending Section 2-36, Kalispell City Code,
Residence of City Manager, Authorizing Council to Waive the
Residency Requirement of the City Manager Through Contract
MEETING DATE: November 17, 2025 – Regular Council Meeting
BACKGROUND: On September 8, 2025, City Council held a work session to discuss an incongruity
in City code. In 2022, Council repealed Ordinance 1582 thereby eliminating residency requirements
for all City employees. However, § 2-36 of the Kalispell City Code requires the City Manager to
reside in City limits. During discussion, Council indicated a desire to provide preference to City
Manager applicants willing to reside within City limits. However, given housing and recruiting
concerns, Council desired flexibility in negotiating City Manager residency through contract. The
proposed amendment to Section 2-36 allows Council to negotiate this item.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Council amend Section 2-36, Residence of City
Manager to allow the City Council to eliminate such requirement through contract.
ALTERNATIVES: The Council may decide not to amend Section 2-36 or suggest alternate
amendment language.
