Honorable Lee Fellinger, Mayor and
Members of the City Council of
The City of Ames , Iowa
In Re : An Ordinance Relating to the Reservation of Parking
Spaces for Handicapped Persons
Dear Mayor Fellinger and Council Members:
Herewith please find a form of ordinance prepared for the
purpose of aiding in the local implementation of SF 1067,
a new state law, which provides for the issuance of special
identification devices that may be displayed to identify
motor vehicles operated, or being used to transport,
physically handicapped persons . This law provides a penal-
ty for persons who park in spaces designated for use by
handicapped persons, or vehicles transporting handicapped
persons, without display of the special identification
device.
The City Council has previously directed the City Manager
to select and designate appropriate parking spaces on the
city streets and in the city parking lots for the purpose
of handicapped parking. This ordinance follows that format
in leaving the location of the places to be designated for
handicapped parking within the reasonable discretion of the
City Manager.
Respectfully submitted,
ohn R. Klaus
City Attorney
