RESOLUTION APPROVING ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY AT
116 BORNE AVENUE
FOR RESOURCE RECOVERY RECYCLABLES BUILDING AND STAGING AREA
FOR THE CITY OF AMES
WHEREAS,activities at the City's Resource RecoveryPlant(RRP)have demonstrated the need
for more usable space,especially for an area to stage and park semi-trailers that are used for the transfer
of metals to market and reject materials to the Boone County Landfill; and,
WHEREAS,this space would require a concrete parking area directly east of the RRP processing
area in order to enhance the movement of semi-trailers; and,
WHEREAS,a second,future need has grown out of the collecting,processing,and transferring
of recyclables to markets,and this need could eventually be fulfilled by a cold storage building in close
proximity to the Plant with customer access; and,
WHEREAS, on January 27,2009,the Council authorized staff to negotiate with the owners of
the three properties directly across Borne Avenue east of the RRP,with these properties being located
at 503 East Lincoln Way, 116 Borne Avenue, and 122 Borne Avenue; and,
WHEREAS,the owner of 116 Borne Avenue has made many interior improvements to his home
and is asking $105,000; and,
WHEREAS, if that price is paid, the total negotiated cost for all three properties would be
$11,000 more than originally authorized by the Council, although it is still less than the total assessed
value of the properties; and,
WHEREAS,funding for the purchase of this property would come from the Resource Recovery
Fund balance.
NOW, THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,Iowa,that
the acquisition of property located at 116 Borne Avenue for the Resource Recovery Recyclables future
building and staging area in the amount of$105,000 is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 12th day of May, 2009.
