At last Monday night’s Kalispell City Council Work Session, they addressed unsecured, unsafe properties and what to do about them. City Manager Doug Russell presented his version of an amended City Fire Code to address blighted, unsecured properties.
City Staff has been receiving complaints about the dilapidated condition of the former Outlaw Inn, which has stood vacant for nearly 2-years, when the buildings last sold to Fortify Holdings. It was once a regional convention center and a favorite hotel for travelers to the Flathead.
Since the City cannot condemn a property unless it is in violation of a City Ordinance, the Council will consider such an ordinance Tuesday night, as part of the City Fire Code. They’ll do the first reading and vote on the ordinance Tuesday night.
