RESOLUTION APPROVING TEMPORARY WAIVER OF
GOLF CART PROHIBITION IN ADA HAYDEN HERITAGE PARK
TO ALLOW MOBILITY-IMPAIRED INDIVIDUALS TO OUR SITE
FOR THE CITY OF AMES
WHEREAS, beginning in 2004, members of the Moose Lodge annually contact local assisted
living facilities in Ames to assess their residents' interest in touring Ada Hayden Heritage Park via golf
carts; and,
WHEREAS, members of the Lodge continue to believe that many residents with mobility
limitations that render them unable to walk the site would never get to experience the overall beauty of
the park if they weren't provided a ride; and,
WHEREAS,each year,depending on the weather,numerous older adults ranging from 75 to 95
years in age participate in this activity; and,
WHEREAS,members of the Lodge would again like to offer this opportunity to older adults with
limited mobility, however, the City Code restricts motorized vehicles to streets and parking lots; and,
WHEREAS, members of the Moose Lodge have requested that the Council waive this
requirement on Sunday, September 9, 2007,between the hours of 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa, that
the waiver of enforcement of Section 19.9 of the Municipal Code between the hours of 1-4:00 p.m. on
Sunday, September 9,2007, at Ada Hayden Heritage Park is hereby approved,thereby allowing Moose
Lodge members to provide golf cart rides to mobility-impaired individuals.
