WATERSHED MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY
FOR THE CITY OF AMES
WHEREAS, on July 11, 2017, the City Council approved a 28E intergovernmental
agreement for the Keigley Branch Watershed Management Authority; and,
WHEREAS, the Watershed Management Authority(WMA) has been working to create a
watershed management plan as part of a federal grant from the USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service; and,
WHEREAS, in early 2017, Story County's Board of Supervisors hired a consulting firm to
develop County-wide watershed assessments; and,
WHEREAS, in continuing this momentum, City staff met with the WMA to discuss the
bigger picture of the Keigley Branch Watershed activities; and,
WHEREAS, in recognition of a WMA name that residents and land owners can relate to, it
was discussed that the larger area encompassing the South Skunk River would be a potentially more
successful approach; and,
WHEREAS, as part of the approval of the new Agreement, the current Agreement for the
Keigley Branch WMA would need to be rescinded.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
