PAUL GOODLAND MAYOR Mary Atherly Larry Curtis Charles Hammer John Parks Georgene Shank Gladys Van Drie COUNCIL MEMBERS John Elwell City Manager Gina Bicknese City Clerk John R. Klaus City Attorney h PREFACE Effective July 1, 1975 the Code of Iowa has required that a city shall, at least once every five years, compile a code of ordinances containing all of the city ordinances in effect, except grade ordinances, bond ordinances, zoning map ordinances and ordinances vacating streets and alleys. (Acts 1972 [64 G.A. ] Ch. 1088, Sec. 78). This volume is enacted and published in fulfillment of the statutory mandate, but also to achieve the desirable goal of reviewing and revising ordinances to reflect changes in law and attitude. Because the code is not only a recompilation of ordinances but also contains amendmended and revised ordinances, a public hearing on the code as proposed was held, following published notice on June 3, 1980, all as required by law. (Section 380.8 Code of Iowa, 1979). The last complete revision and recodification of the ordinances of the City of Ames was in 1967; and the last before that was in 1956. This code will be supplemented on a regular basis with supple- ments being provided to subscribers at cost. In the Appendices are some rules and policies and other matter of general interest relating to the services and departments of the City government. These also will be supplemented and revised from time to time. Preparation of this code has occupied a period of over 18 months and represents the product of creative energy by numerous persons in all departments of the city. Special acknowledgement is due Donna Scherr, legal secretary, without whose commitment and dedication the project would not have been possible, and to Margaret Pearce, who, among other things, accomplished the index. John R. Klaus City Attorney I, Gina Bicknese, City Clerk of the City of Ames, Iowa, do hereby certify that the above and foregoing is a true and correct copy of an ordinance passed and adopted by the Ames City Council on June 24, 1980, signed by the Mayor on June 24, 1980, and published in the Ames Tribune June 27, 1980.
