RESOLUTION APPROVING SET HOURS FOR PARKING ENFORCEMENT WAIVER
FOR MAIN STREET CULTURAL DISTRICT HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES
FOR THE CITY OF AMES
WHEREAS, on October 12, 2010, the City Council approved a number of requests from the
Main Street Cultural District (MSCD) regarding waivers of parking enforcement to facilitate its
sponsored holiday activities; and,
WHEREAS, one of the requests included suspension of parking enforcement all day on
Saturdays beginning November 20 and continuing through December 25, 2010; and,
WHEREAS, the intent of both the City and the MSCD was that the suspension of parking
enforcement would occur during business hours, however, particular hours were not specified; and,
WHEREAS,the Police Department has informed the City Manager's Office that tenants in the
Cultural District area are interpreting the lack of delineated hours as permission to park in the same
location for 24 hours; and,
WHEREAS, staff has discussed this issue with the president of the MSCD and reached
agreement that the parking waiver would be enforced from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturdays from
November 20 through December 25; and,
WHEREAS, it should be noted that,in the future,this will be the intent when similar requests
for waivers of parking enforcement are granted in the absence of a coinciding street closure for an
event.
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,Iowa,that
the waiver of parking enforcement on Saturdays from November 20 through December 25,2010,from
9 a.m. to 10 p.m. for Main Street Cultural District's holiday activities is hereby approved.
