Police officer Jared Milligan tendered his resignation effective Oct. 10. It was accepted by the council. Police Chief Gary Dent said he has already had a couple of applications and calls of interest.
City attorney T. Kai Lee will have the city council members’ act on her letter of resignation at the next regular meeting (Oct. 6).
At the meeting Lee told the aldermen she wasn’t looking for a new position, but a law firm in Kalispell offered her a job.
Lee explained she was from Kalispell, born and raised, where her parents and other family members still live. She plans to start her new job on Nov. 10.
Attorney Bob Olson will attend the next council meeting to lay out a plan to represent the city as their attorney.
Six building permits were approved, one at 225 S. Main to tear down an old building, 607 Sunset for concrete work, 10 2nd Ave. SW for fencing, 915 Mountain View for a shed, 302 S. Michigan for a sidewalk and garage entry paving and 16 S. Maryland for a house addition.
Resolution 977, a conditional use permit, for Nick Schultz was approved. A request from the Tavern Association for a beer garden during the upcoming Harvest Fest was approved.
Proceeds from the beer garden will go to a local entity to be decided at a later date. Last year the local one-day beer garden donated funds to the Cancer Foundation.
Public Works Director Rich Anderson made a request to ask for bids on a new street sweeper. The current sweeper is 17 years old. There is $140,000 in a fund to pay for a new sweeper. He said there are two companies that make a model they are looking for. The council gave him permission to ask for bids on a new street sweeper.
