RESOLUTION WAIVING ENFORCEMENT OF PROHIBITION
OF MOTORIZED VEHICLES IN ADA HAYDEN HERITAGE PARK
FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS, Iowa Multisport (IM) is planning to use Ada Hayden Heritage Park (AHHP)
to host its annual Ames Triathlon on June 22, 2025. The event consists of a 500-meter swim in
the north lake, a 12-mile bike ride that starts in the park and loops through north Ames and
northwest Story County before finishing in the park, and a 5K run that uses the hard surface path
in the park; and,
WHEREAS, IM proposed the use of golf carts after its event in 2019 based on concerns
with the inability to transport volunteers and participants for emergencies throughout the park in a
safe and quick manner. City Council has approved the use of the carts to be used along the run
route for the past five Ames Triathlons; and,
WHEREAS, IM is again requesting the use of golf carts to transport volunteers, assist
participants for any emergencies along the run route, and to transport water station supplies. IM
is required to provide a Certificate of Liability Insurance for the triathlon event and staff will
require the golf carts be covered under IM's insurance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that waiving enforcement of prohibition of motorized vehicles in Ada Hayden Heritage Park for
the Ames Triathlon on June 22, 2025 is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 8th day of October, 2024.
