NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council ofthe City ofAmes,Iowa,that the request from the Ames Community School District regarding the funding of projects at the Municipal Pool is hereby approved, thereby amending the CIP to reflect the reallocation of the$92,500 appropriated in 2007/08 to the 2008/09 fiscal year.
