Stacy, ��
For clarification in the minutes, the Council approved two amendments to the RAGBRAI Ordinance.
The first was in Section 3.47(3). I've underlined and bolded the language inserted by the Council:
Sec. 34.7. CERTAIN ORDINANCES AND POLICIES SUSPENDED.
(3) For the purpose of facilitating entertainment activities in the public right-of-way, any
Sidewalk Cafe Permit authorized pursuant to Division VII of Chapter 22 of the Municipal Code
(Sidewalk Cafe Permits), which has been deemed to be in conflict with the entertainment
planned by the RAGBRAI Committee, shall be suspended after 4:00 p.m. on July 24, 2018.
The second amendment was to insert the bolded/underlined section below in Section 34.5:
Sec. 34.5. OUTDOOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SERVICE AREAS.
The.presence of approximately 20,000 additional people in Ames on July 24, 2018, many of
whom may be consuming alcoholic beverages, has the potential to overwhelm local law
enforcement personnel. Therefore, to ensure public safety,the City Council determines that after
the effective date of this Ordinance there may be accepted and approved by the City no more
than one application for a temporary outdoor alcoholic beverage service area within the City of
Ames for July 24 through 12:00 noon July 25, 2018. The RAGBRAI Committee, or its designee,
shall have the first right to apply to the City for such a license. However, if the RAGBRAI
Committee fails to secure such an endorsement by June 30, 2018, the City Council shall have the
option to consider applications from other applicants for an outdoor alcoholic beverage service
area taking place during those dates. Any establishment that has,prior to the adoption of this
Ordinance, obtained a license for an outdoor alcoholic beverage service area, where that license
is valid for July 24 or July 25, 2018, shall be permitted to operate that outdoor alcoholic beverage
service area pursuant to the terms of its license.
Let me know if there is anything else you need to capture this correctly in the minutes.
