(8) City Manager Kukulski noted that we are working on getting the list showing when each
department is making budget presentations. He also noted that staff is taking both sheets from last week,
the CIP projects and the planning documents and putting them in order of public safety, public services,
general government, and general welfare, to reflect how the budget is organized. (2) Staff is working on
a draft on the revenue sources we do not currently utilize. (3) He delivered information to Mr. Delaney
responding to the parking situation with the garage. He stated that there is not a problem or a discrepancy
with the price or the parking spaces. A second letter was signed by the City Manager and addressed the
purchase and sale of public property as provided by the ordinance. He views this as the conclusion of a
transaction resulting from an agreement that was signed two years ago, and also clarifies how we were not
in conflict with the ordinance.
(9) Planning Epple noted he will respond to any questions resulting from the 2005 annual report.
(2) He noted that Planning Department will start evaluating applications this week to fill some of the
vacancies. (3) He brought up that the Deaconess Hospital Aspen Pointe West pre-application is for about
70 units in the extreme southwest corner of the property is coming before the Commission next week. They
are showing a connection to Kenyon Drive, but if they don't make a connection to Kenyon, they will have
cul-de-sac issues, public safety issues, and inadequate access to the water tower. They aren't proposing
that connection lightly after the Commission direction at the sub-area plan, and have submitted a revised
version of the sub-area plan that doesn't show a connection to Maple. (4) He noted that Mr. Delaney's
application was always going to be processed in the normal application procedure and was unsure about
why he thought it wouldn't be.
(10) Commissioner Rupp noted that Ms. Arkell gave a report about a letter from DEO about a
creek, and whether we have been cited. The City Manager responded that we weren't cited with fines, to
his knowledge, but this wasn't consistent with how we've been regulated in the past and staff is looking into
it. He noted that we have been five years without a permit, because DEO hasn't granted one, they are
behind in handling those things. The City Manager also noted that we are discharging into the East Gallatin,
and we haven't done any changes to our systems that would have changed the output. He also mentioned
that the environmental regulations may be changing in the future. He noted that he will ask Director Arkell
for more clarification on this issue. (2) Commissioner Rupp brought up Mr. Riggs' house. The City Manager
noted that the eviction process has been completed and the renters are moving out. He noted that this is
an effort to have our police department work with landlords and not just renters.
(11) Commenting to Commissioner Rupp, Mayor Krauss noted the need to come up with
guidelines that clarify what the City will do and what the landlord should do. He stated he was contacted
by a person who has had problems with a party house. He also expressed the inadequacy of only having
one zoning enforcement officer.
(12) Commissioner Becker asked for clarification on the Whitefish agenda, and the City Manager
noted that he will email the draft that has been developed ask the Commissioners for changes. (2) He noted
that he went to the solid waste district meeting and we are still moving forward with joining that district and
hopefully we can get a game-plan with the UDO edits. (3) He also noted that he would like to see the note
from Planning Director Epple on TDRs.
(13) Commissioner Jacobson noted that the Commissioners all received a letter from a resident.
Planning Director Epple briefly explained the requirements for a super majority vote. (2) She also stated
that she would like to get going on the affordable housing discussion. Following Commissioner and staff
discussion it was agreed that the discussion would be put on a future agenda as a discussion item where
the pUblic could possibly be able to have more than one chance to speak in order to respond to the
Commissioner discussion. She requested to get copies from Tracy from HRDC of the articles that she were
presented to her so all the Commissioners could read them.
(14) Commissioner Kirchhoff thanked the Commission for allowing him to travel to Mexico over
the last three weeks.
