Dear John:
The purpose of this letter is to request that the city ordinance
dealing with parking at Ames High School be changed in such a way
that the police department can enforce parking regulations the entire
year. Apparently, the present ordinance only allows enforcement during
the school year.
Presently the signs read, "No Parking 7:00 A.M. - 4:00 P.M. Monday
through Friday." This is what we would like the ordinance to reflect.
I have visited with Chief Siedelmann and Capt. Ballantine relative to
this matter. They both agree that the ordinance should be changed.
During the summer we have many people using the swimming pool as well
as the high school. I believe we presently have a dangerous safety
problem by allowing people to park in the area people must walk in order
to get to and from the pool and building.
I would appreciate your considering the matter and if you are so inclined,
begin the process that is required to change this parking ordinance.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ralph Farrar, Principal
Ames Senior High School
