Re: Ames, Iowa
General Obligation Fire Station Bond Proposition
Dear Ms. Mosiman:
The City of Ames has filed, or will soon file, in your office a formal request for a special
election to be held on June 26 on the captioned bond proposition. As bond counsel for the City,we
prepared the proposed language for the ballot proposition (a copy of which is enclosed), and we
would be pleased to offer any assistance you might need in preparing for the special election.
For example, if voting machines will be used and if there is not sufficient space in which to
print the entire proposition, we can help prepare a summary of the proposition.
To help us carry out our responsibilities as bond counsel,we would appreciate it if you would
send us a copy of the published Notice of Special Election and, if possible, a proof of the form of
ballot before it is printed.
Thank you for your assistance.
