Honorable Lee Fellinger, Mayor
And Members of the City Council
Of The City of Ames , Iowa
In Re: Ordinance Changing the Parking Regulations on Ash
Dear Mayor Fellinger and Council Members :
At its meeting of April 17 , 1979 , the City Council directed
that I prepare an ordinance to revise the parking regulations
as they pertain to Ash Avenue. You will find herewith a
form of ordinance prepared for this purpose in consultation
with the City 's traffic engineer.
At the same meeting, I was directed to prepare an ordinance
for the purpose of prohibiting parking on both sides of
Thirteenth Street. However, Section 33-13052 . 9 of the
Municipal Code already prohibits parking on both sides of
Thirteenth Street. After talking this over with the traffic
engineer it was decided between us that the posting of
signs in appropriate places would probably solve the problem.
It seems that there is some special difficulty for the city
staff in enforcing parking regulations on portions of 13th
Street because of the pockets of unincorporated territory
that exist at certain places west of the Sundstrand area.
Respectfully submitted,
John R. Klaus
City Attorney f�
