2020. 6. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS/PUBLIC HEARING: **35-36 *A. PUBLIC HEARING – May 1, 2017: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to all persons

that the City Council of the City of Columbia Falls, Montana, will hold a public hearing on snow removal alternatives on 9th Street West, also known as Highway 2, traveling east/west through the City. The MT Department of Transportation has

proposed berming the snow to the middle of the roadway instead of placing the snow on the adjoining sidewalks, making them impassable in the winter. Alternatively, the City Council has discussed a special fee for the adjoining property owners that would provide funding to hire a contractor to clear the sidewalks on both sides of the roadway.

The City Council of Columbia Falls is encouraging public comment on these

alternatives and will conduct a public hearing on the snow removal alternatives at the regular meeting of the City Council at 7:00 p.m., on May 1, 2017 in the Council Chambers, 130 6th Street West, Columbia Falls, Montana, at which time and place all persons desiring to be heard on said matter may appear and offer comments on the proposed abandonment. Written comments may be addressed to the City Clerk, 130 6th Street West, Room A, Columbia Falls, Montana 59912 prior to the hearing.

*B. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING: MAY 15TH, 2017: **37 Beginning on May 15, 2017 during the 7:00 p.m. regular council meeting, the City

Council of the City of Columbia Falls, shall conduct a series of public hearings and meetings for the purpose of obtaining public comment to determine the greatest community development needs (public facilities, economic development, and housing needs). The City will take public comment during the month of May and June in order to obtain the greatest public input. The intent of the needs assessment process is to provide the City with a list of potential projects or actions in the areas of housing, economic development and public infrastructure that could be pursued over a period of years in order to improve the community, particularly as those needs affect low and moderate income persons. Based on the results of the needs assessment, the City may apply for state or federal funding from the Montana Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and other funding sources to deal with local housing, public facilities, or other community needs and would like comments or suggestions from local citizens regarding the City’s needs and types of projects which should be considered.

Interested persons may contact the City Manager at 406-892-4391 or 130 6th Street

West, Columbia Falls, MT for more information about the hearing or to submit community needs suggestions. Comments may be given orally at the hearing or submitted in writing before 5 pm, Thursday, May 11, 2017.

The City of Columbia Falls makes reasonable accommodation for any known

disability that may interfere with a person’s ability to participate in this hearing. Persons needing an accommodation need to contact Barb Staaland, City Clerk no later than Friday, May 12, 2017 to allow adequate time to make needed arrangements. Please contact Barb Staaland at 892-4391 or write to 130 6th ST West, Room A, Columbia Falls, MT 59912 to make your request known.

*C. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING: MAY 15TH, 2017: **38

The Columbia Falls City Council will hold a public hearing for the purpose of amending Chapter 10.57, Stopping, Standing and Parking, provisions at their regular

VISITORS/PUBLIC COMMENT: (Items not on the Agenda)

A. Mayor Barnhart announced that tonight is a Report to Council from EPA RE: CFAC Superfund site. A more interactive meeting for the public will take place in the High School cafeteria on Wednesday, April 19th at 6:00 pm. Mayor announced that limited comments may be taken after the presentation but the purpose of tonight’s presentation is to report to the Council. Mike Cerian, Project Manager for the EPA CFAC Project gave a short overview of the Superfund project. A number of stepping stones are a part of the project. We are currently on the 3rd one which involves information gathering and preparing a Draft Data Summary Report. This will become the basis for Phase 2. The portion of the CFAC Plant study area includes 64 wells (44 new and 20 existing.) Surface water and soil samples have been gathered. The good news is that they have not seen anything that is a surprise. The seeps of cyanide into the Flathead River back flow have not gotten worse. They will continue to monitor this. Rob Moler, EPA Community Involvement Coordinator spoke about having good community involvement. He thanked the Council on getting the word out on the meeting on Wednesday. He recognized a representative from Senator Steve Daine’s office; Ron Catlett was in the audience. Rob indicated that the EPA’s Community Involvement Plan, (which highlights community concerns) is available on-line and at the Imagine IF Library. He reported that if anyone would like an emailed copy he had a sign up sheet in the back of the room and he will send one to anyone that signs up. The Community Involvement Plan highlights community concerns and targets public education strategy around that. The communication strategy is based upon 3 goals: 1) Inform the Public, 2) Engage the Public, 3) Make sure we have continued engagement. Further information is available on the EPA Superfund website under CFAC. Wednesday night’s meeting will have more details about where we are status wise and the next step forward. Mayor Barnhart asked for any short comments from the public. None

VISITOR/PUBLIC COMMENT

PUBLIC HEARINGS/NOTICES:

A. NOTICE OF HEARING – APRIL 17, 2017: Mayor Barnhart read the notice of hearing: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to all persons that a request has been filed with the City Council of the City of Columbia Falls, Montana, requesting the abandonment, discontinuance and

PUBLIC HEARING -Abandonment/vacating/trading public way or property


HELD APRIL 17, 2017


vacating or trading of certain public way or property in the City of Columbia Falls, Montana, more particularly described as follows:

Tracts 7E, TK and TK1, S08, T30 N, R 20 W in NE ¼ SW ¼, P.M.M, Flathead County. The abandonment will be subject to the rights of the City or any other public utility to access, operate and maintain any public utilities currently located within the right of way. Mayor Barnhart asked City Manager Nicosia to present the request to Council. City Manager Nicosia reviewed the request to abandon or trade city owned property and right of way within the Weyerhaeuser property boundaries. Nicosia reported that she had met with Weyerhaeuser officials to discuss the public right of way in and around their property; specifically Tract 7E owned by the City and obligated by a 99 year lease until 2050 and Tract 7K1 “Truck Route.” The City has no utilities through those tracts and has no use for the property as located but Public Works Director Grady Jenkins would like to evaluate the existing roadways to determine if the City public right of way could be improved by widening the roadway adjacent to 5th ST West as well as the corners at 6th Ave West and 3rd ST. West. Mr. Jenkins believes that 4th Ave West, platted at 100’ is adequate. Nicosia noted that the 5th St West/6th Ave West intersection has been problematic for many years due to the truck traffic on the existing road width. Nicosia reported that Weyerhaeuser would contract with a surveyor to prepare the necessary surveys and documents to transfer the property and make the necessary boundary line adjustments without cost to the City. Mayor Barnhart asked for clarification on the potential boundary line adjustment. Nicosia reported that Public Works Director Jenkins would like to evaluate 5th ST West (east/west) as well as 6th Ave West (north/south) to determine an adequate width of the road way. The City is not requesting moving the entire 60’ platted 7K1 to the existing roadway. Nicosia advised Jenkins also would like the ability to look at each of the intersections. Mayor Barnhart said that it makes sense to look at the entire area to ensure adequate public right of way. Mayor Barnhart asked Public Works Director Jenkins if he had anything to add at this time. Jenkins advised not at this time, will be getting more involved at a later time. Mayor Barnhart opened the public hearing at 7:30 p.m. No one wished to comment on the property abandonment/vacation/trade with Weyerhaeuser as proposed. Mayor Barnhart closed the hearing.


HELD APRIL 17, 2017


City Manager Nicosia and Public Works Director Jenkins will work with Weyerhaeuser and the City Attorney’s office and bring back the necessary documents for Council approval.

B. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING – MAY 1, 2017: Mayor Barnhart read the notice: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to all persons that the City Council of the City of Columbia Falls, Montana, will hold a public hearing on snow removal alternatives on 9th Street West, also known as Highway 2, traveling east/west through the City. The MT Department of Transportation has proposed berming the snow to the middle of the roadway instead of placing the snow on the adjoining sidewalks, making them impassable in the winter. Alternatively, the City Council has discussed a special fee for the adjoining property owners that would provide funding to hire a contractor to clear the sidewalks on both sides of the roadway.

The City Council of Columbia Falls is encouraging public comment on these alternatives and will conduct a public hearing on the snow removal alternatives at the regular meeting of the City Council at 7:00 p.m., on May 1, 2017 in the Council Chambers, 130 6th Street West, Columbia Falls, Montana, at which time and place all persons desiring to be heard on said matter may appear and offer comments on the proposed abandonment. Written comments may be addressed to the City Clerk, 130 6th Street West, Room A, Columbia Falls, Montana 59912 prior to the hearing.

City Manager Nicosia advised this is also posted at the Chamber Commerce, Newspaper, and City website hoping for more comments.

PUBLIC HEARINGS – Notice of Hearing Snow Removal

UNFINISHED BUSINESS None. NEW BUSINESS: A. City of Columbia Falls MT Pollutant Discharge Elimination Permit (MPDES) – Wastewater Treatment Plant City Manager Nicosia handed out draft comments from Public Works Director Grady Jenkins. Jenkins reported that the DEQ permit application was applied for in October 2014. DEQ reviewed the first permit for renewal in November 2015. It contained a number of significant errors and the City refused to approve it. A revised permit

NEW BUSINESS Discharge Elimination Permit -WWTP


HELD APRIL 17, 2017


and fact sheet was sent January 2017 and Jenkins, WWTP staff and engineers from HDR worked with the DEQ permit writer to correct the previous errors. Jenkins reviewed the draft permit information, including the Tables. He reported that Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) lbs. per day limits were lowered due to the design flow of the bioreactor. Jenkins reported that the City will be testing for metals that have been detected in the effluent at the Waste Water Treatment Plant including Cadmium and Copper. Jenkins noted that copper is well below the drinking water standard but above Aquatic life standard. Jenkins reviewed the recommended comment letter to DEQ:

#1. That a mixing zone to be granted for this permit. #2. E.coli Units be changed to MPN. We test using that equipment. #3. Sample location wording to be changed. To Influent samples for BOD

and TSS to be taken at end of grit removal chamber and before influent flow meter.

#4. Sample location to be either NA or Effluent did not see a reason for these locations to be labeled different.

#5. The Aluminum dissolved RRV be changed to 10. In, addition to the comments the City is asking for recognition of the removal of the 24 individual septic systems in Riverwood Subdivision that will be hooked to the City’s sewer this summer. DEQ could not put them in the permit, but told us if we put them in the comments, they will put them in the file in the future for nutrient trading on the permits. Mayor Barnhart asked when the permit will expire and Grady reported that it will be good for five years. Jenkins asked the council for approval of the comments, noting that we have until May 2nd to submit them to DEQ. Councilman Karper, motioned to approve Wastewater Discharge comments, second by Councilman Fisher and the motion passed unanimously. B. Approval of Mural – 830 1st Ave. West, O’Brien’s Liquor and Wine City Manager Nicosia presented the request for a mural at 830 1st Ave West, noting that under City Municipal code 18.438.070, mural require council approval. Owner/applicant O’Brien Byrd was present. Mayor Barnhart asked if the mural would cover the whole side of the building. O’Brien advised yes, on the North side of building. Mayor Barnhart asked how the mural will be applied and O’Brien advised it will be painted by hand. Mayor Barnhart asked City Manager Nicosia for her recommendation. Nicosia stated she recommends approval of the Mural

Mural – 830 1st Ave. West


HELD APRIL 17, 2017


as it meets the stated criteria and the owner has represented that it will be clean and maintained. Councilman Lovering made a motion to approve the Mural on 830 1st Ave. West, second by Councilman Fisher and the motion passed unanimously. C. Approval of Columbia Falls Farmers’ Market Park Use Request City Manager Nicosia presented the Columbia Falls Farmers’ Market (CFFM) Parks Use Request as recommended by the Parks Committee. The committee met on April 4th and reviewed the request to use Marantette Park for 19 weeks on Monday nights starting May 15th through September 18th. The CFFM requested a waiver of all fees for the use of the Marantette Park grassy event area and the band shell. Pursuant to the City fee schedule, regular user fee and deposit would be $4,602.50. The Parks Committee recommended that the City charge $25 a week for both of the park and band shell. The $475 will be payable in three installments, along with a refundable deposit of $200, and, in compliance with the use application, CFFM would provide porta-potties, garbage receptacles and follow park rules and enforce the no-staking rule to avoid irrigation system damage. Mayor Barnhart stated this was a wise move to Monday, asking who enforces the use permit requirements. City Manager Nicosia noted that the Parks employees enforce the use permits. Councilman Karper, motioned to approve the Columbia Falls Farmers’ Market Park Use request and partial fee waiver as recommended by the Parks Committee, second by Councilman Piper. Motion passed unanimously.
