Ames City Council Members

Ames, IA 50010
Honorable Mayor and Council Members;
It has been brought to my attention that the Ames City Council is considering an ordinance
that would eliminate parking on Hyland Ave. When you consider this ordinance please
keep in mind that the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship located at 1015 N. Hyland Ave. is
used as a voting location and if, Hyland Ave. is specified as no parking it would cause a
hardship for the voters. Is there a possibility of making the area around the Fellowship
exempt on election days to allow for voter parking only?
When Hyland Ave. was closed in 1996, we had a difficult time finding an alternative
location. After much discussion, we were able to use an alternative site with the
understanding it was temporary and we would pay a person from their establishment to be
there when we used their facility.
Our statistic's show the following number of residents vote at the Unitarian Fellowship:
November 1996 = 917; September 1996 = 152; June 1996 = 278
November 1995 = 423; September 1995 = 183
November 1994 = 856; September 1994 = 143; June 1994 = 445
November 1993 = 348; September 1993 = 181
Thank you in advance for your consideration in this matter. Please call me if you have any
question.
Sincerely,
y R. mmons
