COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: CHAPTER 22, DIVISION II: EMERGENCY SNOW REMOVAL - 2005
UPDATES
BACKGROUND:
Additions to the snow ordinance in Ames were last made December 14, 2004, under
Ordinance No. 3812. Recently it has been brought to the attention of staff that there are
locations where snow removal is required, but these locations do not appear in the
Municipal Code. These resultant changes stem from new growth throughout Ames and
minor changes to routes traveled by CyRide.
Staff has coordinated its efforts with members of the Public Works Streets Division, the
Ames Police Department and CyRide to create a list of streets that need to be added to
the snow ordinance. A list of streets was then compiled as shown below.
New Additions to Code:
1 . Buckeye Avenue from its intersection with South 16th Street to its intersection
with Chestnut Street
2. Chestnut Street from its intersection with South Duff Avenue to its intersection
with Buckeye Avenue
3. Crystal Street from its intersection with South Duff Avenue to its intersection
with Opal Drive
4. Opal Drive from its intersection with Jewel Drive to its intersection with Crystal
Street
Modification to existing Code:
1 . Bloomington Road from its intersection with Grand Avenue to the west
corporate limits
2. Mortensen Parkway and Mortensen Road from the west line of Elwood Drive
to west end of Mortensen Road
3. Stange Road from the north line of Thirteenth Street to its northerly terminus.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Accept the changes to Section 22.9 Snow Routes Designated of the Municipal
Code.
2. Direct staff to make further revisions.
3. Reject the changes.
r
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No.
1, thereby accepting the changes to Section 22.9 Snow Routes Designated of the
Municipal Code.
