INDUSTRIES Memorandum
TO: Brian O'Connell, Planning & Housing Director, City of Ames, Iowa
FROM: James Wills, Real Estate Program Manager
DATE. November 12, 1996
RE: City Council Item # 34 & 34a; Resolution re. Land Mgt., Boone County
Please be advised that IES Utilities Inc. has only this morning been made aware of an effort by
the City of Ames to enact a resolution, specifically a RESOLUTION PROPOSING TO
IMPLEMENT LAND USE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY IN BOONE COUNTY, which
will be discussed at the City Council meeting of Tuesday, November 12, 1996. IES Utilities
Inc. has purchased a 10 acre site in Boone County from Gene Harris et. al. for construction of
a new operating service center serving areas in both Boone and Story Counties. The
transaction is imminent and pending closing subject only to receipt of final permit for an entry
road by the IDOT and delivery of final closing documents. IES Utilities would respectfully
request that the Ames City Council table any further action on the above referenced Resolution
until such time as the pending real estate transaction is closed and the Deed recorded in
recognition of the possibility that such Council action prior to closing may unduly interfere with
the plans and intentions of the parties to the transaction and cause costly delays in the
construction of the planned service center. Your consideration is greatly appreciated.
