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.

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.

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.

CITY OF KALISPELL, MONTANA KALISPELL PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT 5 By By Jarod Nygren, Interim City Manager By Johnna Preble, City Attorney 2 Reversionary Agreement To: Jarod Nygren, Interim City Manager From: Aimee Cooke, Finance Director 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 Amended General Government Amended Central Garage RESOLUTION NO. 6300 A RESOLUTION OF INTENT CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND THE GENERAL FUND OF THE CITY OF KALISPELL, MONTANA, AS SET FORTH IN THE 2025-2026 BUDGET ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL.

Box 1997 jpreble@kalispell.com Kalispell, MT 59903-1997 _______________________ 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. ATTACHMENT: Ordinance 1947 ORDINANCE NO. 1947 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 2-36, KALISPELL MUNICIPAL CODE, RESIDENCY OF CITY MANAGER, AUTHORIZING THE COUNCIL TO WAIVE THE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT OF THE CITY MANAGER THROUGH CONTRACT, AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
