RESOLUTION APPROVING REVISIONS TO
ASSET POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
FOR THE CITY OF AMES
WHEREAS,each year,the ASSET Administrative Team and ASSET volunteers review the
ASSET Policies and Procedures, and changes to the Policies and Procedures are adopted once a
majority of the Funders approves the revisions; and,
WHEREAS,this year,revisions are recommended to address the following issues:revise the
names of the funders, incorporating Central Iowa Community Services (CICS) and changing from
Government of the Student Body to ISU Student Government; clarify a reference to the Iowa Open
Meetings Law;revise the quorum requirements to allow routine business to be accomplished as long
as one representative from each funder is present(e.g.,receiving reports, approving minutes), and
this would not allow for approval of funding recommendations or changing the Policies and
Procedures without a full quorum; clarify the name of the Agency Participation Application and
emphasize that agency visits will be a component of the review process; spell out the word
"administrative"in a section where it is abbreviated; make minor modifications to the Application
for ASSET Agency Participation and Notification of New or Expanded Service forms; and,reflect
the shift from the former four-panel ASSET structure to the categories of Education, Income, and
Health in classifying ASSET services; and,
WHEREAS, of these proposed changes, the most significant is the conversion from the
former four-panel system to the categories of Education, Income, and Health; and,
WHEREAS,the ASSET Administrative Team will work to ensure that agencies are informed
of their new service categories as they develop their budgets; and,
WHEREAS,the new structure will be easier to explain to agencies and new volunteers in the
future.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that the recommended revisions to the ASSET Policies and Procedures are hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 14th day of June, 2016.
