RESOLUTION APPROVING WAIVER OF FEES FOR
PARKING METER FEES AND ENFORCEMENT
FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS, Ames Main Street (AMS) plans to host Campustown after Sundown on
Thursday, July 11, 2024 as a part of the "Ames After Sundown Live Music Series". This is a first-
year event for the expanded Ames After Sundown event series, with food truck show downs in
different community districts around Ames. The activities include a beer garden and live music on
Kellogg Avenue, as well as vendors from the Ames Farmers Market. The events are free to attend,
and organizers expect up to 150 people to attend; and,
WHEREAS, in order to facilitate the activities, AMS requests a waiver of fees for parking
meter fees and enforcement; and,
WHEREAS,the Thursday night activities will require the closure of eight metered parking
spaces for four metered hours, resulting in a loss of approximately $12 to the Parking Fund.
Organizers have requested that this amount be waived by the City Council; and,
WHEREAS, given the small dollar amount and number of parking spaces involved, staff
believes it is reasonable to waive the requested fees; and,
WHEREAS, AMS's Campustown After Sundown provides an opportunity to attract
visitors to Campustown. The events include family friendly activities and opportunities that
support local businesses.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that waiver of fees for the parking meter fees and enforcement for the Campustown After Sundown
is hereby approved.
