Dear Mayor and City Council:
We have just received copies of the lighting ordinances of twelve cities identified from the
city's research on this issue. After reviewing these ordinances with several businesses, we
feel parts of these ordinances should be further examined and considered in an Ames
ordinance.
Therefore, the Ames Chamber of Commerce is requesting that you delay discussing the
proposed sign ordinance until the May I Ith or May 25th Council meeting.
With more discussion between the business community and the lighting task force, an
ordinance can be presented to the City Council that has support from the business
community.
Thank you for your consideration on this issue.
Sincerely,
C
