ITEM # AAMPO 1
DATE: 07-14-20
AMES AREA METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION (AAMPO) TRANSPORTATION POLICY COMMITTEE ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: FFY 2021 - 2024 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP)
BACKGROUND:
In order to receive Federal funds for transportation improvement projects, it is necessary for the projects to be part of the approved statewide plan. The initial step in this process is for the Ames Area MPO to develop a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The attached TIP document includes projects for street improvements, CyRide improvements, and trail projects. In February 2020, the Ames Area MPO distributed applications for new funding for Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) and Transportation Alternative (STBG-TAP) projects. Two STBG applications were received and no STBG-TAP applications were received.
TPMS # Sponsor Fund Project Fiscal
(NEW) City of Ames Improvements
Projects selected for regional transportation funding, along with previously awarded projects and state-sponsored projects within the Ames area, have been incorporated into the FFY 2021 – 2024 TIP. Following notification of Iowa Clean Air Attainment Program funding, the following project was added into the FFY 2021 – 2024 Transportation Improvement Program. This project does not use STBG funding, so it does not change any of the MPO’s funding projections; however, it is required to be shown in the TIP per the funding agreement.
TPMS # Sponsor SWAP Project Fiscal
45239 City of Ames Ames Traffic Signal Master
The Transportation Policy Committee unanimously approved the draft TIP on May 26, 2020. During the public comment period, the document and project maps were available online and at a public input session held virtually. No comments were received from the public. AAMPO staff received and addressed minor comments from the Iowa Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, and Federal Transit Administration. The final FFY 2021 – 2024 Transportation Improvement Program is due to the Iowa Department of Transportation by July 15, 2020.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the final FFY 2021 – 2024 Transportation Improvement Program for submission to the Iowa Department of Transportation.
2. Approve the final FFY 2021 – 2024 Transportation Improvement Program with
Transportation Policy Committee modifications for submission to the Iowa Department of Transportation. ADMINISTRATOR’S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The FFY 2021 – 2024 TIP has been reviewed by State and Federal funding agencies, with their comments being incorporated into the final document. No comments were
received from the public. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Administrator that the Transportation Policy
Committee adopt Alternative No. 1, as noted above.

FFY 2021 – 2024 Transportation Improvement Program
INTRODUCTION
he Federal Fiscal Year 2021 - 2024 Transportation Improvement Program is the short-range
implementation program for Federally funded and regionally significant transportation projects.
The TIP is a requirement of 23 CFR 450.326 for metropolitan planning organizations to develop
a program reflecting the investment priorities established in the long-range transportation plan covering
at least four (4) years. The Ames Area MPO develops a new TIP annually in cooperation with the Iowa
Department of Transportation and CyRide. The Ames Area TIP is included in the State Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP), which is developed by the Iowa Department of Transportation.
The TIP can be found online at:
https://www.cityofames.org/government/aampo/tip
The STIP can be found online at:
https://iowadot.gov/program_management/statewide-transportation-improvement-program-stip
Role of the TIP
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a public document developed of planned
transportation improvements within the Ames Area MPO planning boundary that are expected to utilize
Federal-aid funds or are considered regionally significant. Each project must include specific
information detailing the project including the scope, year-of-expenditure cost, funding sources, and
location. Local projects not using Federal funds to construct them may not be listed in the program.
The TIP is a short-range plan and is considered a tool for implementing the long-range transportation
plan. Projects must be identified in the long-range plan prior to being listed in the TIP, and a project
cannot receive Federal funds unless it is contained in the TIP.
Ames Area MPO Organization
The Ames Area MPO was officially designated the MPO of the Ames urbanized area by the Governor
of Iowa in March 2003. This designation was the result of the Ames urbanized area having a population
of greater than 50,000 in the 2000 census. As a result of the 2010 Census, the urbanized areas of Ames
and Gilbert were combined into one urbanized area, therefore requiring the Metropolitan Planning Area
to be expanded to encompass this area in its entirety. The Ames Area MPO approved the current
Metropolitan Planning Area boundary on November 13, 2012. The City of Gilbert and Iowa State
University were added to the Transportation Policy Committee on March 26, 2013.
Ames is located in central Iowa and is served by Interstate 35, U.S. Highway 30, and U.S. Highway 69.
Surface transportation needs are met through over 249 centerline miles of streets. The community has a
very progressive transit system, CyRide, which carries over six million bus passengers per year. While
the majority of transit users have Iowa State University ties, CyRide serves the entire Ames community.
The Ames Area MPO area includes the Ames Municipal Airport, which serves general aviation needs
for business, industry, and recreation users. On average 93 aircraft operations occur per day at the Ames
AAMPO

FFY 2021 – 2024 Transportation Improvement Program
Municipal Airport. Railroad provides freight service to the area by dual east-west mainline tracks and a
northern agricultural spur.
The Ames Area MPO provides continuity of various transportation planning and improvement efforts
throughout the Ames urban area. The City of Ames serves as the fiscal agent for the Ames Area MPO.
The Ames Area MPO consists primarily of two standing committees: The Transportation Policy
Committee and the Transportation Technical Committee.
TRANSPORTATION POLICY
COMMITTEE
The Transportation Policy Committee (TPC) is
the policy setting board of the MPO and the
membership consists of local officials. Voting
membership on the committee includes city and
county governments located, wholly or partially,
in the Ames Area MPO planning boundary as
well as the local transit agency. Currently the
TPC membership includes: City of Ames, City
of Gilbert, CyRide, Boone County, and Story
County. The Iowa Department of
Transportation, the Federal Highway
Administration, the Federal Transit
Administration, and Iowa State University serve
as advisory, non-voting, representatives.
TRANSPORTATION TECHNICAL
COMMITTEE
The Transportation Technical Committee (TTC)
consists of technical personnel from various
agencies involved in transportation issues within
the planning area. The Transportation Technical
Committee formulates the procedural details of
the Transportation Planning Work Program. The
committee reviews and monitors the output of
various MPO activities identified in the work
program and makes recommendations to the
policy committee. The committee is also
responsible for assisting in developing the short
and long-range transportation plans. The Iowa
Department of Transportation, the Federal
Highway Administration, and the Federal
Transit Administration serve as advisory, non-
voting, representatives.

Public Participation in the Planning Process
This document was developed in coordination with MPO member agencies, regional stakeholders, and
members of the public. The MPO planning process includes strategies to disseminate information about
the project selection process and provides opportunities for interested parties to provide information to
the policy committee.
EDUCATION AND INFORMATION
WEBSITE
The Ames Area MPO utilizes the MPO website at https://www.aampo.org to make draft documents,
maps, and other materials accessible anytime of any day in a format that is adaptable to mobile devices
and website text which can be translated into any language available through translation services.
E-NOTIFICATION
Anyone with an e-mail address may sign-up for receiving notifications of news and events published
from the MPO with our e-notification system. During the development of this program, approximately
160 users receive e-notifications, including announcements of FFY 2021-2024 TIP public meetings,
public comment periods, and draft documents.
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE
An open house provides members of the public the opportunity to drop-in to view projects, meet with
staff, and leave comments on the proposed program. The event hosted on May 21, 2020, was held
virtually via a Microsoft Teams meeting due to COVID-19 restrictions. No formal presentation was
given allowing for visitors to come and go at any time during the event.
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD
During the comment period, the draft document and maps of the proposed projects are available online
or in hardcopy at the Ames Area MPO office.
TRANSPORTATION POLICY COMMITTEE HEARINGS
The Transportation Policy Committee hearings provide time for anyone of the public to address the
committee prior to consideration of the program. The meetings are livestreamed on Ames Channel 12
and on Facebook. Meetings are also made available on-demand on the City of Ames website, on the
City of Ames Facebook page, and on the City of Ames YouTube channel.

FFY 2021 – 2024 Transportation Improvement Program
PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) serves as a list of DOT and locally sponsored federal-
aid eligible and Swap surface transportation improvements within the Ames-Gilbert region. Projects in
the Ames Area TIP must be consistent with the long-range transportation plan, known as Ames Mobility
2040. The final document, approved by the Transportation Policy Committee, will be consolidated into
the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) along with the other 26 planning agencies in the
State of Iowa.
Performance Based Planning and Performance Management
Performance based planning and performance management
became a focus for State and regional transportation planning with
the signing of the 2012 surface transportation bill Moving Ahead
for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21). The Federal
government established a seven national goals through MAP-21,
and maintained in subsequent Federal legislation, with the purpose
of improving decision-making through performance-based
planning and programming.
The Ames Area MPO must establish and use a performance-based
approach to transportation decision making to support the national
goals.
KEY TERMS:
Goal: a broad statement the describes a desired end state
Objective: a specific, measurable statement that supports
achievement of a goal
Performance Measures: metric used to assess progress
towards meeting an objective
Target: specific level of performance that is desired to be
achieved within a certain timeframe

Goal: Significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads.
Performance Measures
Measures • Number of Fatalities
• Rate of Fatalities per 100 million VMT
• Number of Serious Injuries
• Rate of Serious Injuries per 100 million VMT
• Number of Non-Motorized Fatalities and Non-Motorized Serious
Performance Targets
Rather than setting its own safety targets, the Ames Area MPO has chosen to support the Iowa
DOT’s safety targets as published in the most recent Iowa Highway Safety Improvement
Program Annual Report. The MPO supports those targets by reviewing and programming all
Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)1 projects within the MPO boundary that are
included in the DOT’s Transportation Improvement Program.
Any Iowa DOT Sponsored HSIP projects within the MPO area were selected based on the
strategies included in the Strategic Highway Safety Plan and safety performance measures and
were approved by the Iowa Transportation Commission. The Iowa DOT conferred with
numerous stakeholder groups, including the Ames Area MPO, as part of its target setting
process. Working in partnership with local agencies, Iowa DOT safety investments were
identified and programmed which will construct effective countermeasures to reduce traffic
fatalities and serious injuries. The Iowa DOT projects chosen for HSIP investment are based on
crash history, roadway characteristics, and the existence of infrastructure countermeasure that
can address the types of crashes present. The Iowa DOT continues to utilize a systemic safety
improvement process rather than relying on “hot spot” safety improvements.

Goal: Improve safety of all public transportation systems, specifically in the areas of fatalities,
injuries, safety events (ex.: collisions, derailments), and system reliability.
Performance Measures
Measures • Number of Fatalities
• Number of Serious Injuries
• Safety Events
•
Performance Targets
CyRide’s Safety Plan, due by December 31, 2020 (deadline extended from July 20, 2020 due to
COVID-19), will include processes and procedures to implement Safety Management Systems
(SMS) at CyRide to anticipate future risks and detect problems before safety issues occur. This
plan, which will be re-certified each year thereafter, will include strategies for minimizing the
exposure of the public, personnel, and property to unsafe conditions and again include safety
performance targets. SMS will support a data-based framework to identify and analyze safety
hazards and risks to prioritize resources towards the mitigation of these issues. As CyRide’s
Safety Plan and safety performance targets are established for FY2021, this information will be
shared annually with the Ames Area MPO as projects are prioritized within the Ames Area
MPO’s LRTP, TPWP and TIP.
PAVEMENT AND BRIDGE
Goal: Maintain the condition of pavement and bridges in a state of good repair.
Performance Measures
Measures
• Percent of Interstate pavements in Good condition
• Percent of Interstate pavements in Poor condition
• Percent of non-Interstate NHS pavements in Good Condition
• Percent of non-Interstate NHS pavements in Poor condition
• Percent of NHS bridges classified as in Good condition
•
Performance Targets
Rather than setting its own pavement and bridge targets, the Ames Area MPO has chosen to
support the Iowa DOT’s pavement and bridge targets as submitted in the most recent baseline
AAMPO
Page 9
FFY 2021 – 2024 Transportation Improvement Program
period performance report 3. The MPO supports those targets by reviewing and programming all
Interstate and National Highway System projects within the MPO boundary that are included in
the DOT’s Transportation Improvement Program.
Any Iowa DOT sponsored pavement and bridge projects within the MPO area were determined
in alignment with the Iowa Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP) and the pavement
and bridge performance measures. The TAMP connects Iowa in Motion 2045 and system/modal
plans to Iowa DOT’s Five-Year Program and the STIP. Iowa in Motion 2045 defines a vision for
the transportation system over the next 20 years, while the Five-Year Program and STOP
identify specific investments over the next four to five years. The TAMP has a 10-year planning
horizon and helps ensure that investments in the Five-Year Program and STIP are consistent with
Iowa DOT’s longer-term vision. Starting in 2019, the TAMP began to integrate the pavement
and bridge performance targets.
The Iowa DOT conferred with numerous stakeholder groups, including the Ames Area MPO and
local owners of NHS assets, as part of its target setting process. The methodology used to set
targets used current and historical data on condition and funding to forecast future condition.
Asset management focuses on performing the right treatment at the right time to optimize
investments and outcomes. Management systems are utilized to predict bridge and pavement
needs and help determine the amount of funding needed for stewardship of the system. The
TAMP discusses the major investment categories that the Commission allocates funding through.
Once the Commission approves the funding for these categories, Iowa DOT recommends the
allocation of the funds to specific projects using the processes described in the TAMP. Pavement
and bridge projects are programmed to help meet the desired program outcomes documented in
the TAMP.

TRANSIT ASSET MANAGEMENT
Goal: Maintain the condition of public transit assets in a state of good repair.
Performance Measures
Measures • Equipment: Percent of non-revenue vehicles met or exceeded Useful
Life Benchmark
• Rolling Stock: Percentage of revenue vehicles met or exceeded
Useful Life Benchmark
• Facilities: Percentage of assets with condition rating below 3.0 on
FTA TERM scale
•
Performance Targets
Public transit capital projects included in the STIP align with the transit asset management
(TAM) planning and target setting processes undertaken by the Iowa DOT, transit agencies, and
MPOs. The Iowa DOT establishes a group TAM plan and group targets for all small urban and
rural providers while large urban providers establish their own TAM plans and targets.
Investments are made in alignment with TAM plans with the intent of keeping the state’s public
transit vehicles and facilities in a state of good repair and meeting transit asset management
targets. The Iowa DOT allocates funding for transit rolling stock in accordance with the Public
Transit Management System process. In addition, the Iowa DOT awards public transit
infrastructure grants in accordance with the project priorities established in Iowa Code chapter
924. Additional state and federal funding sources that can be used by transit agencies for vehicle
and facility improvements are outlined in the funding chapter of the Transit Manager’s
Handbook. Individual transit agencies determine the use of these sources for capital and
operating expenses based on their local needs.
CyRide, the transit agency within the Ames Area MPO, has established their own TAM plan and
targets which they review and amend, if needed, each fall by October 1st. In March 2020, the
Ames Area MPO adopted these transit asset management targets that also match CyRide TAM
targets. The infrastructure performance measure element which FTA requires is limited to rail
fixed guideway assets of which there is not any rail passenger service with Ames.

SYSTEM AND FREIGHT RELIABILITY
Goal: Achieve a significant reduction in congestion on the National Highway System.
Performance Measures
Measures • Percent of person-miles traveled on the Interstate that are reliable
• Percent of person-miles traveled on the non-Interstate NHS that are
reliable
•
Performance Targets
Rather than setting its own system and freight reliability targets, the Ames Area MPO has chosen
to support the Iowa DOT’s system and freight reliability targets as submitted in the most recent
baseline period performance report 5. The MPO supports those targets by reviewing and
programming all Interstate and National Highway System projects within the MPO boundary
that are included in the DOT’s Transportation Improvement Program.
The Iowa DOT conferred with numerous stakeholder groups, including the Ames Area MPO, as
part of its target setting process. Variability within the existing travel time dataset was used to
forecast future condition. Projects focused on improving pavement and bridge condition also
often help improve system reliability and freight movement. Additional projects focused
specifically on improving these areas of system performance are developed in alignment with the
target-setting process for related performance measures, and the freight improvement strategies
and freight investment plan included in the State Freight Plan. This plan includes a detailed
analysis and prioritization of freight bottlenecks, which are locations that should be considered
for further study and possibly for future improvements. The process also involved extensive
input from State, MPO, RPA, and industry representatives. State projects identified in the freight
investment plan and programmed in the STIP were highly-ranked freight bottlenecks.

Air Quality
The Clean Air Act requires the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to set limits on how much of a particular
pollutant can be in the air anywhere in the United States. National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) are the pollutant limits
set by the Environmental Protection Agency; they define the
allowable concentration of pollution in the air for six different
pollutants: Carbon Monoxide, Lead, Nitrogen Dioxide, Particulate
Matter, Ozone, and Sulfur Dioxide.
The Clean Air Act specifies how areas within the country are
designated as either “attainment” or “non-attainment” of an air
quality standard and provides the EPA the authority to define the
boundaries of nonattainment areas. For areas designated as non-
attainment for one or more National Ambient Air Quality
Standards, the Clean Air Act defines a specific timetable to attain
the standard and requires that non-attainment areas demonstrate
reasonable and steady progress in reducing air pollution emissions
until such time that an area can demonstrate attainment.

and promote air quality issues
in the region. The State of
Iowa provides grant

Regional Transportation Goals
During the planning process of the Ames Mobility 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan, the
community identified six goals to guide the plan. Each goal had a number of objectives identified along
with a measure to rank the effectiveness of the project towards reaching the
regional goals.
A baseline was identified for each per performance measure for both 2015, the year
of the plan, and 2040, the planning horizon year of the plan. The baseline served as
the measure to evaluate potential projects to determine if the project would
contribute to reaching the regional target.

Project Selection
Projects are selected from the Ames Mobility 2040 plan for awarding regional transportation funding.
Projects identified for in the short-term (years 2016-2025) are prioritized for regional funds. The MPO
solicits two applications for the two primary transportation programs: Surface Transportation Block
Grant and Iowa’s Transportation Alternatives Program.
SURFACE TRANSPORTATION
BLOCK GRANT
The Surface Transportation Block Grant
(STBG) is generally awarded to regional
projects which improve capacity through
construction, reconstruction and rehabilitation
of the highway network. Projects are evaluated
in the long-range plan based on the six goals of
the plan.
IOWA’STRANSPORTATION
ALTERNATIVES PROGRAM
Iowa’s Transportation Alternatives Program
(TAP) projects mainly consist of greenbelt
trails. TAP projects are evaluated with the
following criteria:
• Connectivity with existing facilities
• Cost in relation to public benefit
• Enhancement to existing transportation
system
• Identified in the long-range
transportation plan.
Applications for both STBG and TAP are made available on the Ames Area MPO website and
distributed to MPO member agencies and to a publicly available e-mail distribution list.
Other programs include bridge projects consisting of necessary repairs recommended by the biennial
Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) bridge inspections. The Iowa DOT requires these
inspections for bridges within the local jurisdiction of the Ames Area MPO. A candidate list is created
by the Iowa DOT Office of Local Systems based on priority points ranking. Local agencies and the
Ames Area MPO work with the Iowa DOT on programming necessary bridge projects based on priority
and available funding.
APPLICATIONS FOR SUBMITTING PROJECTS
Instructions for submitting projects for STBG or TAP regional funds are posted by the first of the year
on the MPO website. A news notification is distributed to members of the Transportation Technical
Committee along with anyone who has signed up for e-notifications on the MPO website. In January
2020, 153 e-notifications were distributed for the STBG application announcement and the TAP
application announcement.

Federal Transit Administration Planning Process
In addition to FHWA program projects, the TIP includes all projects which Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) funding may be utilized. A portion of Federal fuel tax revenue is placed in the
mass transit account of the Federal Highway Trust Fund. These funds, along with General Fund
appropriations, are reserved for transit purposes and are administered by the Federal Transit
Administration. The transit portion of the TIP was developed in cooperation with CyRide, the urban
transit operator in the Ames Area MPO planning area. The following transit projects identified in the
FFY 2021-2024 TIP were included within the Passenger Transportation Plan (PTP), meeting the
requirement to have the Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities formulized
Federal funding within an approved PTP prior to TIP approval. The following narrative describes the
projects within the initial year of the plan.
FFY 2021 PROJECT JUSTIFICATION
GENERAL OPERATIONS (5307/STA)
This funding supports the day-to-day transit operations of the Ames Transit Authority from Ames’
urbanized area formula apportionment, Small Transit Intensive Cities (STIC), and State Transit
Assistance (STA) funding.
CONTRACTED PARATRANSIT (DIAL-A-RIDE) SERVICES (5310)
According to Federal regulations, public transit agencies providing fixed-route transit service in their
community must also provide door-to-door transportation services within a ¾ mile area of that fixed-
route service. Therefore, CyRide purchases transportation service for its Dial-A-Ride service operation
in order to meet this American Disability Act (ADA) requirement. This service has been expanded to
provide services beyond ADA to the entire city limits of Ames.
AUTOMATED VEHICLE ANNUNCIATOR LED SIGNAGE (5310)
In the fall 2019, CyRide integrated automated vehicle annunciator (AVA) system synced with voice
annunciators (audible announcements only) to help keep all passengers, disability or not, better informed
of where the bus is located along the bus route(s). This system was in response to a request from Iowa
State University’s Alliance for Disability Awareness group which communicated their desire to have
more bus stops announced throughout the Ames’ community. Bus drivers must comply with the
Americans with Disability Act (ADA) laws and manually announce major transit locations along transit
routes along with any stops the public request. While the annunciators were installed for audible
announcements, there wasn’t enough funding at time of implementation to deploy the visual LED
signage within each bus. CyRide plans to install the visual signage for announcements in FY2021. This
project is over and beyond ADA requirements.
ANNUNCIATOR ANNUAL SERVICE FEES (5310)
CyRide plans to utilize portions of its elderly & disabled funding towards its annual service fees for the
automatic annunciator system to ensure compliance with its ADA announcement requirements. This is
a non-traditional project but will allow compliance with the ADA law and improve awareness of where
the bus is within the community for passenger’s knowledge.

FFY 2021 – 2024 Transportation Improvement Program
LIGHT DUTY BUS REPLACEMENTS (5310)
Two light duty 176” wheelbase buses have exceeded FTA guidelines for useful life. Bus numbers are:
00390 and 00391. These units will be replaced with light duty 176” wheelbase low-floor buses,
equipped with cameras. These replacement vehicles will be ADA accessible.
HEAVY DUTY BUS REPLACEMENTS (5339)
Nine large forty-foot buses have exceeded FTA guidelines for useful life. Bus numbers are: 00957,
07125, 01140, 07132, 07123, 01141, 00958, 00956, 00955. These units will be replaced with 40’
heavy-duty buses, equipped with cameras. These replacement vehicles will be ADA accessible.
HEAVY DUTY ARTICULATED BUS EXPANSION (5307-STBG)
Currently, CyRide has six articulated buses within its bus fleet with a goal to attain a total of ten to
operate on its #23 Orange Route. Specifically, this transit route carries the highest number of passengers
of any route in the State of Iowa at nearly 1.8 million passengers. Over the next few years, CyRide will
add Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funding to an already approved contract for a 40-foot
bus (federally funded with either CMAQ or 5339) awarded through the Iowa DOT and upgrade the
purchase to an articulated (60-foot) bus expansion. The Ames Area Metropolitan Planning Organization
has approved funding at $225,000 for FY2021.
HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING FACILITY PROJECTS (PTIG)
CyRide is requesting phase two of its heating, ventilation and air conditioning projects from the Iowa
DOT under its public transit infrastructure grant (PTIG) program specifically for:
• Maintenance Bay Ventilation Improvements
• Southwest Bus Storage HVAC Replacement.
These updates will provide substantial benefits to employees by providing better heating/cooling as well
as ventilation and fresh air throughout the maintenance facility as recommended through a “Diesel
Particulate Exposures at CyRide Bus Garage” study conducted in 2006. At that time, the study noted
that the ventilation rates needed to be increase throughout the facility to decrease diesel particulate
exposures and concentrations by a factor of four. CyRide plans to continue additional HVAC work into
FY2022 for a final improvement project under phase three.
The request includes the following areas:
• #1 Multi-stack Unit Replacement (14 years old)
• #2 Bus Wash HVAC Equipment Replacement (17 years old)
• #3 Southwest Bus Storage HVAC Replacement (30 years old)
• #4 Shop Area Office HVAC Improvements (expansion)
• #5 Restroom/Storage 1983 RTU-12 Replacement (36 years old)
MAINTENANCE FACILITY EXPANSION
CyRide will be requesting BUILD funding to proceed with planning requirements towards readying
itself toward construction of a second bus maintenance/storage facility to accommodate a total bus fleet
of 125 buses – 65 at the new facility with the remainder at the present location. Currently, buses are
parking outside the facility which is contrary to CyRide’s lease with Iowa State University.
AAMPO
Page 21
FFY 2021 – 2024 Transportation Improvement Program
Additionally, CyRide is landlocked and needing more space to store (park) and maintain buses and
allow for future expansion of transit service within the Ames community. One of the critical issues is
that maintenance (shop) stops servicing buses at 5 p.m. even though service is continued until midnight .
The shop area is located directly in the middle of the facility and once buses are fueled and serviced for
the evening, they are stored, i.e. parked, in the facility until service begins the next morning. Parked
buses, after being fueled and serviced for the evening; restrict access to the shop and any mechanical
issues are deferred until the next day due to not being able to access the shop to be fixed. Therefore,
even though CyRide’s services continue until midnight or beyond on most days throughout the year,
buses cannot be repaired until the majority of buses are carefully unpacked from the facility the
following day. Therefore, if there is a mechanical breakdown on a bus during night service, the bus is
towed back to the facility and not serviced until the following day when the mechanics can drive the bus
into the shop for repair. The BUILD planning request will be for real estate market analysis,
environmental (NEPA) and historical analysis, land purchase on a preferred site and preliminary
building design.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Forecasts of Available Revenue
Projects in the Transportation Improvement Program are fully funded projects using Federal
transportation funds or are regionally significant transportation projects. The TIP must demonstrate that
all projects are within available funding amounts. The Ames Area MPO allocates regional transportation
funds through the STBG, Iowa’s TAP, and STBG-TAP-Flex programs. However, projects may also
receive Federal or State funds through competitive grants.
REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION FUNDING
The Iowa Department of Transportation Office of Program Management provides the Ames Area MPO
estimated STBG/STBG-Swap, Iowa’s TAP, and STBG-TAP-Flex funding targets for each of the four
years in the program. The MPO is also provided DOT statewide revenue estimates.
The FFY 2021 programming targets are $1,725,427 for STBG, $86,770 for Iowa’s TAP, and $66,179
for STBG-TAP-Flex. The project costs shown in the TIP are in year-of-expenditure (YOE) dollars. This
is accomplished by developing an estimate of costs in the current bidding environment and then
applying an inflation factor of 4 percent per year.
The Ames City Council has programmed city sponsored projects in the City of Ames 2020-2025 Capital
Improvements Plan (CIP) for the local funding allocation. These funds are generated from the City of
Ames annual Road Use Tax Fund (RUTF) distribution, Local Option Sales Tax, and General Obligation
(GO) bonds.
The transit program does not have targets; therefore, the requests involve significant costs in the
anticipation of maximizing the amounts received.

Transportation projects within the Ames region may also receive funding through Federal or State grant
programs.

IOWA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION REVENUE ESTIMATES
Each year prior to development of the Iowa DOT’s Five-Year Program and the Statewide Transportation
Improvement Program both state and Federal revenue forecasts are completed to determine the amount
of funding available for programming. These forecasts are a critical component in the development of
the Five-Year Program and as such are reviewed with the Iowa Transportation Commission. The
primary sources of state funding to the DOT are the Primary Road Fund and TIME-21 Fund. These state
funds are used for the operation, maintenance and construction of the Primary Road System. The
amount of funding available for operations and maintenance are determined by legislative
appropriations. Additional funding is set aside for statewide activities including engineering costs. The
remaining funding is available for right of way and construction activities associated with the highway
program.
Along with the state funds, the highway program utilizes a portion of the Federal funds that are allocated
to the state. A Federal funding forecast is prepared each year based on the latest apportionment
information available. This forecast includes the various Federal programs and identifies which funds
are allocated to the Iowa DOT for programming and which funds are directed to locals through the
MPO/RPA planning process, Highway Bridge Program and various grant programs. Implementation of
a Federal aid swap will increase the amount of Federal funds that are utilized by the Iowa DOT.

CHANGING AN APPROVED TIP
Often after development and subsequent adoption of the TIP, changes may need to be made to the list of
programmed projects. Examples of changes might be adding or deleing projects., moving a project
between years in the TIP, adjusting project cost, or changing the vehicle numbers of transit vehicles.
A major requirement of a project receiving Federal transportation funds is for the project to be included
in the TIP and Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). Once a project has received
Federal Authorization for construction it does not need to be included in the TIP. This is one of two
major reasons for adding or deleting a project from the TIP. The other major reason for adding a project
is the awarding of a grant for a project, which can happen throughout the year. Projects programmed
through the STBG-SWAP program will be included in the TIP as informational items and modifications
to these projects will be pursued using the following revision processes as outlined.
Changes to the TIP are classified as either amendments or administrative modifications and are
subject to different AAMPO Transportation Policy Committee and public review procedures.
Amendments
Amendments are major changes involving the following:
Project Cost: Projects in which the recalculated project costs increase Federal aid by
more than 30 percent or increase the Federal aid by more than $2 million from the
original amount.
Schedule Changes: Projects added or deleted from the TIP.
Funding Source: Projects receiving additional Federal funding sources.
Scope Changes: Changing the project termini, project alignment, the amount of through
traffic lanes, type of work from an overlay to reconstruction, or a change to include
widening of the roadway.
Amendments are presented to the Transportation Policy Committee and a public comment period
is opened, which lasts until the next policy committee meeting (the Transportation Policy
Committee meets on an as needed basis, giving a 3-4 week public comment period). Public
comments are shared with the Transportation Policy Committee and action is taken on the
amendment.

Administrative Modifications
Administrative Modifications are minor changes involving the following:
Project Cost: Projects in which the recalculated project costs do not increase Federal aid
by more than 30 percent or does not increase the Federal aid by more than $2 million
from the original amount.
Schedule Changes: Changes in schedule for projects included in the first four years of
the TIP.
Funding Source: Changing funding from one source to another.
Scope Changes: All changes to the scope require an amendment.
Administrative modifications are processed internally and are shared with the Transportation
Policy Committee and the public as information items.

Regional Travel Survey Executive Summary
The Ames Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (AAMPO) conducted a regional transportation survey of
residents during fall 2019 in support of the Forward 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan update.
404 people were surveyed regarding multi-modal transportation issues and opportunities relating to
transportation planning and improvements within the region. Survey results told a story about how Ames
residents feel about the current state of the transportation system and hopes for the future of the
transportation system.
Would you rate the
transportation system
in the Ames area
as excellent, good,
average, or poor?

MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE AMES CITY COUNCIL
AMES, IOWA JUNE 16, 2020
The Special Meeting of the Ames City Council was called to order by Mayor John Haila at 6:00
p.m. on the 16th day of June, 2020. Council Members Bronwyn Beatty-Hansen, Gloria Betcher,
Amber Corrieri, Tim Gartin, Rachel Junck, and David Martin were present. Ex officio Member
Nicole Whitlock was also present.
Mayor Haila announced that it was impractical to hold an in-person Council meeting due to the
Governor of Iowa declaring a public health emergency because of the COVID-19 pandemic. City
Hall is closed to the public until July 1, 2020. Therefore, this meeting is being held as an electronic
meeting as allowed by Section 21.8 of the Iowa Code. The Mayor then provided how the public
could participate in the meeting via internet or by phone.
AMES PLAN 2040 WORKSHOP: Planning and Housing Director Kelly Diekmann said the
community character and culture principles will be reviewed. Mr. Scott shared snapshots of
community taxonomy.
Mayor Haila referenced the Complete Streets page, and asked for clarification between a boulevard
and an avenue. Mr. Scott said the existing roads already notified as boulevards have been
expanded. Mr. Diekmann added that the vocabulary and placetypes were introduced in the
Complete Streets Plan. He said most times boulevards are wider and more landscaped but context,
transportation types, land use, and community character are also part of how the road types are
determined. Mayor Haila asked about the yellow circles on the page, and Mr. Scott said those are
crossroads of major streets. Council Member Betcher asked if the team has identified sections of
boulevards as institutional. Mr. Diekmann said they did not try to identify jurisdiction on this map,
rather street type.
Mr. Scott reviewed the Community Character and Culture principles:
1. Maintain and enhance Ames’ heritage
2. Recognize the value of the arts in enhancing Ames’ appearance and expanding its cultural
options
3. Provide for community involvement and diverse opportunities
4. Recognize and reinforce a sense of place for existing and new areas
5. Add distinctive design characteristics
6. Improve design quality
7. Create options for activity
Ms. Betcher asked about the first principle and the choice of the historically significant structures
and archaeological resources. She said Bandshell Park isn’t notable for archaeological purposes
but is part of a historic district. She said she wants to be clear that it’s not only the structures that
are historically significant. Council Member Gartin said he’s trying to understand the practical
difference this will make. Mr. Scott said the first principle has been revised but was included in
the Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP), and not every community has a whole chapter for this principle.
Mr. Shukert said there will be a map indicating areas that are historically or architecturally
significant. Ms. Betcher asked if that’s a place where the Historical Preservation Plan can be
brought in as a related document. Mr. Scott concurred.
Mayor Haila asked if the principles are just facts or if they can be effective tools for planning. Mr.
Diekmann said not every policy is about development requirements, rather vision and goals over
the next 20 years. Ms. Beatty-Hansen asked if the first priority would be a good place to recognize
that we live on land that once belonged to others. Ms. Betcher said she was thinking about that as
part of the vision statement. She said “heritage” and “history” are different. Mr. Diekmann said a
vision statement is meant to look forward rather than document history. He said acknowledgments
could be appropriate in certain areas. Mr. Diekmann said he used heritage as a broad term and it
was meant to be inclusive of the past 150+ years. Ms. Beatty-Hansen said she would like to see
her suggestion placed in the document somewhere. Mr. Martin said it could be appropriate
somewhere but he’s not sure where. He said the first priority is focused on places and spaces and
suggested adding cultural institutions. Mr. Diekmann asked for examples of cultural institutions.
Mr. Martin said arts, theater, and the impact of Iowa State University (ISU). Ms. Betcher said she
believes this would be the place to add language regarding indigenous peoples. Mayor Haila asked
about the Community Character and Culture vision statement at the beginning. He suggested
changing “spirit of community” to “spirit of community and equity.” Ms. Betcher said she thought
“spirit of community” was talking about bringing people together, but the word community in the
vision statement is saying Ames will advance aesthetic and design improvements that support a
spirit of community. It was suggested “respect its heritage” could be changed to “respect Ames’
heritage” or “respect our heritage.” Mr. Scott said the intent was to have a vision statement at the
beginning of each chapter. Mr. Gartin asked if anyone will read this document, and wondered what
Council’s purpose is in reviewing the priorities. Ms. Betcher said it seems like an appropriate place
to be careful in articulating the character of Ames. She said she thinks there are people that will
read the document so it’s important the language is precise and guiding.
Mr. Shukert said a lot of the things being discussed are critical and represent community values.
He told the Council this chapter is about urban design or physical development, and this chapter
may not be the best place for the kind of language Council is discussing. He said it feels like many
important things need stated up front, but it might be a heavy load for this chapter. Mayor Haila
asked that staff and RDG make notes on Council input. Mr. Diekmann said RDG can place the
input in the most meaningful place.
Regarding Principle 2, Ms. Betcher wondered about taking “visual and performing” out so it reads
“the arts.” Mr. Diekmann said he believes the team was mostly focusing on physical elements of
the city and social issues were included if related to the physical structure of the city.
For Principle 3, Ms. Betcher asked about “minority groups,” and wondered if minority groups are
already captured in “underrepresented populations.” Mr. Martin said the third priority is probably
the best place to include language on pursuing equity. Ms. Betcher suggested “and equitably meet
diverse needs.”
It was suggested by Mayor Haila that the fourth priority could include language about being multi-
modal and pedestrian friendly. Mr. Diekmann said the transportation chapter would more clearly
cover that, and that the sidewalk environment was specifically mentioned because of areas like
Somerset. Ms. Betcher asked what the “recognized character” is. Mr. Diekmann said it varies
across the City. He said the policy is not intended to say that things cannot change. He said
Redirection areas have been clearly identified in the land use chapter, and in some single-family
and two-family areas, there could be infill opportunities. He said character is important, but it isn’t
100% preservation.
Ms. Betcher asked if Priority 7 was for new development or if it’s also referring to redevelopment
and infill. Mr. Scott said it means development in all areas of the community. Ms. Betcher asked
if the Plan is missing anything regarding Ames as part of a bigger region and how it connects to
other communities. Mr. Scott said he feels that needs to be reflected in the Plan somewhere.
Mr. Diekmann said the principles from multiple chapters were used to create potential actions. He
said the potential actions are meant to help Council understand what implementation measures
might be necessary to fulfill the combination of community and character, transportation, land use,
and housing principles and how they go together.
The potential actions were reviewed.
1. Create infill and development standards for compatibility in residential areas and transition
areas focused on design over density.
2. Apply high quality design features throughout the community and with all types of
development.
3. Sub-area planning will include evaluation of existing character and how the area is intended
to evolve to identify differences.
4. Modify zoning standards to address placemaking, environmental protections, building
design goals for priority areas of the city.
5. Utilize city programs, i.e. façade grants, and zoning standards to promote historic
preservation.
6. Update commercial zoning to recognize placemaking priorities compared to automobile
access and parking priorities.
7. Plan for coordinated City beautification through gateways, medians, corridors, to support
identity and beautification.
8. Consider art as an invitation to explore and experience diversity within the community
through visual pieces as well as gatherings and performances; include spaces to allow for
these interests.
9. Include outreach initiatives with the Comprehensive Plan implementation and
administration requirements to encourage diverse participation in planning and design
efforts.
Mr. Scott said there are four unifying themes that have consistently come up throughout the
process: Sustainability, Health, Choices, and Inclusivity. He reviewed the principles of the plan
and how they tie back to the unifying themes. Mr. Diekmann said the unifying themes aren’t meant
to take away anything from other pieces of the plan, rather highlight the common threads
throughout the plan. Mr. Scott said the team is looking through plans to see how other cities have
addressed areas like equity and health.
Council Member Martin asked about the land use map and what happens with lands designated
ISU if ISU sells the land. Mr. Diekmann said he plans to address the University question and share
that information with Council. He said there will be core areas still shown as university land.
Mr. Diekmann said Council will receive a draft plan in late August. He also said a public outreach
plan will be created for Fall and a Council review will happen in the Fall, followed by approval of
the Plan. Mr. Shukert said various constituencies like builders and developers look very closely at
the document. He said he believes the plan will satisfy those groups, but 30 days would be good
for public to review the document after Council has reviewed it. Mayor Haila asked if public
comment will be reviewed by staff and RDG and then be given to Council. Director Diekmann
said if there are comments staff cannot reconcile, Council would need to review them. Mayor Haila
asked if RDG anticipates any issues or disagreement at the community level with the document
based on Council’s directions. Mr. Shukert said developers may be disappointed that development
is not being shown to the north up to 180th Street. He said that was a large infrastructure issue. He
said most comments were respected regarding northwest development. Mr. Shukert said he
estimates there could be five to seven policy disagreements that the Council will need to
collectively discuss during the review process. Mr. Diekmann said the redirection areas where
intense change is possible could receive comment. Ms. Betcher said she hopes Council is ready to
be somewhat flexible as ISU students return and the possibility of COVID-19 returning. She said
there may need to be a contingency plan for outreach.
DISPOSITIONS OF COMMUNICATIONS TO COUNCIL: Ms. Betcher referenced the email
received on June 11, 2020 from Elizabeth Erbes, Chair of AMS Design Committee, requesting
action from Council regarding Main Street.
Moved by Betcher, seconded by Beatty-Hansen, for staff to engage with AMS Design Committee.
Mr. Schainker asked if that is related to the request regarding pavers and the wall. Ms. Betcher
concurred. Mr. Schainker said the City could take bids on pavers, and that the wall demolition is
not part of the project currently.
Moved by Betcher, seconded by Beatty-Hansen, to amend the motion and request staff report back
to Council after connecting with AMS Design Committee regarding its request.
Vote on Amendment: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
Vote on Motion, as amended: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
COUNCIL COMMENTS: Ms. Betcher said she attended a race, equity, and leadership summit
with NLC and spoke with many people from around the country about coming back from crises in
equitable ways. She said registration for NLC Summer Summit is available. Mayor Haila asked
her to resend that email to Council members.
Mayor Haila said the NAACP hosted a conversation called “Taking the Lead” last Thursday
evening moderated by Reg Stewart. He said Police Chief Cychosz participated, and the
conversation was outstanding and very educational. The second of four sessions will be next
Thursday evening at 6:00 p.m. and details will be on the City of Ames website. He said the City
is a proud co-sponsor of the event.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m.

Public Forum.
SETTING SALARIES FOR COUNCIL APPOINTEES: Council Member Corrieri stated that
she and Council Member Beatty-Hansen lead the effort to conduct the City Manager and City
Attorney reviews. Ms. Corrieri mentioned that she spoke for the entire Council when stating that they
have a very strong leadership in the City Manager’s office and City Attorney’s office. The Council
is appreciative of their services and the reviews were overwhelmingly positive for both individuals.
She noted that they are recommending a 3% increase for the City Manager, which is a $6,600.97
increase over the current salary. The Council is recommending a 5% increase for the City Attorney,
which equals a $6,895.85 increase over the current salary.
Moved by Betcher, seconded by Martin, to approve the recommendation of the review committee.

MODIFICATIONS TO OUTDOOR DINING RELATED TO COVID-19: Assistant City
Manager Brian Phillips stated that this report came as a request from the Ames Chamber of
Commerce. The Chamber had done some outreach and gathered feedback from businesses about
what would be helpful during the COVID-19 pandemic regarding restrictions with sidewalk cafés
and outdoor dining. Responses received from the Chamber’s outreach were forwarded to City staff,
and are as follows:
1.Allow parking spaces to be used for temporary outdoor seating, without affecting minimum
parking requirements, storm water requirements, or other development standards
2.Use the City right-of-way for patio space
3.Allow signage to be placed in the City right-of-way to advertise the business
Mr. Phillips noted that two of the above issues are already provided in the Ames Municipal Code
to some extent. The use of signage is restricted to the Downtown Service Center (DSC) and the
Campustown Service Center (CSC) zones, as there is a temporary portable sign provision. Staff has
investigated the use of parking spaces, staff doesn’t believe there will be an impact on storm water
requirements or other development standards by placing tables and chairs temporarily in a parking
space. Mr. Phillips commented that there would be an impact on minimum parking requirements.
He noted that this is for temporary portable tables and chairs. The Council has the option to direct
staff to temporarily waive the enforcement of the minimum parking requirements to temporarily
allow tables and chairs to be placed in a parking stall. The Council could also expand the use of
temporary outdoor portable signs on public sidewalks.
Assistant City Manager Phillips stated that two other issues came up during discussions and staff had
included those in the report. The first issue is the fencing requirement. The requirement states that
there are to be barriers all around the sidewalk café. Staff noted that the barrier is important if
alcohol is going to be served as it is a requirement in the State law; however, if alcohol is not going
to be served, staff felt that if the proprietor can keep the tables and chairs from encroaching onto the
sidewalk walking area, there doesn’t need to be a requirement. The second issue is that sidewalk
cafés are limited to the frontage of the adjacent business that they are in front of and this can make
for some small sidewalk cafés. City staff believed that allowing the sidewalk cafés to be extended
into the frontage of an adjacent property, with permission of the adjacent property owner, would be
beneficial to the sidewalk café program and the Downtown/Campustown atmosphere.
Mr. Phillips noted that the Council could make a motion to make a permanent change in the
Ordinance regarding the two above issues or direct staff to immediately waive the enforcement of
those provisions.
4
Council Member Betcher mentioned she had a couple questions about the Sign Ordinance. She asked
if they waived enforcement of Section 22.32(b)(4), would they also be waiving the obstruction part
of the Code. Mr. Phillips stated that the Council would only be waiving that section for the purpose
of allowing the signs in other zones. All the other aspects of the temporary portable signs section of
the Code would still be in effect; it is just taking away the limitation to allow the portable signs in
CSC and DSC zones. Ms. Betcher also asked if the signs could be placed in the Somerset area or
wherever there is a restaurant that wants to have an outdoor seating option. Mr. Phillips confirmed
that would be correct, and noted that for all the temporary modifications to signs and sidewalk cafes,
all the temporary components would be tied to the current sidewalk café season that ends on October
31, 2020. After that date all the normal rules would apply again for the following season.
Council Member Corrieri stated she had a question about the barrier for alcohol service. She noted
that the Staff Report stated that the State Code mentions that there has to be a delineated premise and
she wanted to know how this is different. Ms. Corrieri mentioned that in the Somerset area there are
not necessarily barriers out for the restaurants that are serving alcohol. Assistant Manager Phillips
commented that the distinction between Somerset and Downtown is that the businesses that have
sidewalk cafés in the Somerset area are on private property and not City property. He noted that
when the Sidewalk Café Code was established there was a lot of concern about making sure the
alcohol didn’t move into areas where it was not allowed. Mr. Phillips mentioned he doesn’t have a
clear answer as to what the difference may be. Ms. Corrieri commented that she understood that and
doesn’t believe that citizens will understand the difference between being on private property versus
City property when Somerset is so close to the Shared Use Path.
Council Member Betcher mentioned that the Council received a few emails referring to the sidewalk
café fee and asked if it could be waived. Ms. Betcher commented that she didn’t have enough
information to know if it could be waived. Mr. Phillips explained there is a $35.00 permit fee per
season, and he thought there were about a dozen applications each season. The fee is intended to
recoup the cost of processing the application, making sure everything is in order, and the site is in
compliance with the Municipal Code. He stated that if the fee was waived, it would probably not hurt
the City Clerk’s budget. Mr. Phillips inquired if the Council would want to waive the permit fee for
the rest of the season for new applicants only or would they want to have it be retroactive back to
the beginning of the season and refund the applicants who had already paid. Ms. Betcher stated that
it is the understanding that if a business that currently does not have a Sidewalk Café Permit wants
to setup one they would have to go through the permitting process. Mr. Phillips explained that in the
Staff Report they clarified the difference between setting up a sidewalk café on City right-of-way
versus setting up tables and chairs in a parking lot. If the Council waived the parking requirement
for the purpose of allowing tables and chairs in a parking lot on private property that would not
require a permit or a fee.
Mayor Haila asked for public input.
Bethany DeVries, owner of Della Viti, Ames, wanted to thank staff and the Chamber for bringing
this concern back to the Council quickly. She noted that in the Staff Report it mentions that the space
5
must be contiguous. The salon next door to her has approached her for several years asking her to
put her tables in the front of their business, but the area is contiguous with her doorway. There would
be a space for people to get into both of their businesses. Ms. DeVries commented that this is a gray
area as the area would be contiguous with her doorway so it would be one patio, but people would
need to get in and she is unsure if this could be done or not. Mayor Haila mentioned that staff will
address her question after public forum is closed.
Dan Culhane, Ames Chamber of Commerce President, 3115 Aspen Road, Ames, thanked the
Council for looking at ways to find solutions for businesses. The Chamber of Commerce reached
out to over 70 businesses and the feedback was forwarded on to City staff for review. Mr. Culhane
mentioned that the contiguous space is a good question, as there seems to be some logic since they
share a door. He noted that he didn’t know what the amount of the fee was to obtain a sidewalk café
permit, but felt $35 was an inconsequential amount, as every penny is needed for the businesses
during the pandemic. Mr. Culhane commented, that on the fencing piece, he can appreciate the rule,
but that is just another cost to the business owners.
Marcus Johnson, 1415 Duff Avenue, Ames, owner of the Mucky Duck Pub, stated that from his
perspective moving parking spaces will create difficulty with maintaining the minimums. He
commented that anything that could be done to simplify that process would be greatly appreciated.
Mr. Johnson mentioned that parking is not that big of an issue, and questioned what options are
available when there are shared parking spaces with some of their commercial neighbors. He noted
that a lot of his customers have no plans to come back when he opens again, and believes that
businesses will continue to hurt in the long-term. Mayor Haila wanted to verify that Mr. Johnson had
a question about parking and a seating area that was not contiguous with his other seating areas that
serve food. Mr. Johnson stated that if the additional outside area doesn’t require parking, all they
need to do is move some spaces, but his concern is that, as soon as they move parking spaces, it
becomes difficult with site plans, etc. Mr. Johnson mentioned that his other question was if
businesses could use an area not connected to the building for serving food.
Mayor Haila asked Assistant Manager Phillips to answer the question of Ms. DeVries regarding the
contiguous area interrupted by the access to her business. Mr. Phillips stated he is not sure if there
was a specific reason cited for that requirement at the time the Code was adopted. If he had to guess
it was to help closely identify the sidewalk café with that business; that way if there was an issue it
would be clear what business the sidewalk café belonged to. Mr. Phillips stated that his only concern
with allowing multiple sidewalk cafés that are broken up into segments with a single business is that
it does create the opportunity for sidewalk cafés to be stacked right next to each other, business to
business to business, which can make it difficult. He noted this might be an opportunity for the City
of Ames to try it, and after the sidewalk café season is over, to determine if the change should be
made permanent. Mayor Haila inquired if Option 1E is what Ms. DeVries is questioning in the Staff
Report. Mr. Phillips commented that there are two pieces, and the first one is that the Sidewalk Café
Code currently states that the sidewalk café requires that the café can only extend across the frontage
of the building it is attached to; it can’t extend to another business’s frontage. He noted that is the
component that is being suggested to be waived and permanently modified. The other component
6
is a component of the Code that states a business may only have one unbroken sidewalk café per
restaurant. Mr. Phillips mentioned that if the Council wanted to allow two sidewalk cafés for a
restaurant with a break in-between for the entrance to the building, it would be a different waiver.
Mr. Phillips commented this would be an issue if a restaurant had a door in the middle of the
building; the sidewalk café would only be allowed on the left or right side of the door, not both.
Council Member Betcher commented that another thing that Mr. Johnson had mentioned was
another location for a café on the same property, that is not contiguous to the building. Mr. Philips
explained that was a different issue. If the second location is fully contained on private property,
there is not any concern, but if a true sidewalk café is on the public sidewalk then that would fall into
the sidewalk café issues, which would fall into the multiple sidewalk cafés per business. He noted
that Mr. Johnson’s situation is fully within his own property, and doesn’t believe it would be a
concern under the existing Code or the proposed waiver. Mayor Haila stated if that was done, it
would displace some parking spaces until October 31, 2020, and that is what staff is proposing.
Mayor Haila questioned the fencing requirement. He asked if someone who served alcohol wanted
to have a bigger expanse of a sidewalk café per the Iowa Code, there must be a physical barrier
between the sidewalk café and where people are walking. Mr. Phillips commented that there has to
be a delineated premise and the fencing accomplishes that. He is not sure the City has the ability to
waive it. Mayor Haila inquired if painting a stripe on the sidewalk could be considered a delineated
area. Council Member Beatty-Hansen commented that a line is the definition of delineated. Council
Member Corrieri inquired if the delineated piece is only going into the public rights-of-way. Ms.
Corrieri mentioned she is thinking again of the Somerset example stated earlier. City Attorney Mark
Lambert stated that he doesn’t have an answer to Council Member Corrieri’s question. He mentioned
he would want to look at the Code before giving a definitive answer. Mr. Lambert commented that
a physical barrier is better than painting a line. Council Member Betcher noted that a physical barrier
would avoid the issue of painting the City rights-of-way, and Downtown has decorative pavers on
the sidewalks. Mayor Haila mentioned, if a physical barrier is needed, someone could use a piece
of rope strung through a piece of PVC pipe and have a concrete weighted foot. He commented that
the Council wants to help the businesses by quickly expanding their capacity, but if the businesses
have to purchase wood fencing etc., it can get expensive and will affect the quality of the pavement.
Attorney Lambert stated that a line on the ground could be easily stepped over; a physical barrier
would be preferable.
Moved by Martin, seconded by Gartin, to adopt Options 1 A-E, which state:
a.Temporarily waive enforcement of minimum parking requirements for standard
parking stalls (not ADA parking stalls) for the temporary use of an existing parking
lot for outdoor dining subject to conformance with sidewalk clearance and vehicle
access standards of the Zoning Ordinance through October 31, 2020.
b.Temporarily waive the provisions of Section 21.134 through October 31, 2020, for
the purpose of allowing temporary portable signs on public sidewalks in zones other
than DSC and CSC.
c.Temporarily waive enforcement of Section 22.32(b)(4) through October 31, 2020,
7
for the purpose of allowing sidewalk cafes to extend into the frontage of an adjacent
business, provided permission has been obtained from the adjacent property owner.
d.Prepare an ordinance to permanently remove the requirement in the Sidewalk Café
Code for barriers to be in place if alcohol service will not be provided.
e.Prepare an ordinance to permanently modify the Sidewalk Café Code to allow a
sidewalk café to extend in front of an adjacent business, provided the extension is
approved by the adjacent business owner and ingress/egress to the adjacent business
is not blocked.
and to additionally institute temporary waivers on Options 1 D and E for this season, and to
additionally temporarily waive the provision limiting each sidewalk café to the one segment.
Council Member Corrieri asked for clarification on Option 1C: to temporarily waive the extension
of the frontage. She would be in favor of doing that permanently. Council Member Beatty-Hansen
mentioned that to her it looked like Option 1E does permanently what Option 1 C does temporarily.
Council Member Junck commented that Option 1D doesn’t allow for a temporary waiver. When staff
is working on preparing the ordinance it would temporarily waive the barrier requirement for this
season. Council Member Martin mentioned that his intent was for it to be temporary and then staff
will prepare an ordinance.
Council Member Betcher wanted clarification on what Council Member Junck stated about Option
1 D as she thought the Council could not waive the barrier requirement. Council Member Martin
stated that the Council can waive the barrier requirement, but not the delineation.
Council Member Corrieri inquired if the motion would solve the contiguous issue along with
extending the frontage. Mr. Martin stated that his motion does those things, but would be temporary
for this sidewalk café season. Council Member Betcher asked for Council Member Martin to list
what would be permanent and temporary, so she is clear on the motion. Council Member Martin
explained that the only permanent aspects were Options 1D and 1E.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously
Moved by Martin, seconded by Gartin, to temporarily waive the requirement that a barrier be at least
42 inches and be constructed in order to satisfy the State requirement of delineated premises.
Council Member Martin stated that the motion leaves open the interpretation of how the barrier
could be accomplished as businesses will no longer be required to put up a 42-inch barrier, but
would still have to satisfy the State law, and would no longer say how businesses have to have a
barrier. Council Member Beatty-Hansen inquired if the motion was temporary or permanent. Mr.
Martin stated it was temporary.
Council Member Betcher commented that it sounded as if City Attorney Lambert was not sure about
the delineation aspect and asked for him to weigh in. Attorney Lambert mentioned that he is not sure
if the barrier requirement is per the Code of Iowa or in the Alcoholic Beverage’s Administrative
8
rules, and he had not looked at those yet. He suggested if the Council was going to approve the
motion regarding the barriers to make the motion fuzzy enough, where if they discovered they were
unable to change the barriers then they wouldn’t have to. Mr. Lambert commented that he would be
more comfortable looking through the Code before a final decision is made.
Council Member Martin asked to amend his motion to add that it be contingent upon the approval
of the City Attorney.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
Moved by Gartin, seconded by Corrieri, to waive the sidewalk café permit fee and refund the fees
for whomever has already paid for a sidewalk café permit for this season.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Motion declared carried.
DELINQUENT UTILITY ACCOUNTS RELATED TO COVID-19: Assistant City Manager
Deb Schildroth stated that the Governor’s Proclamation included an order by the Iowa Utilities
Board (IUB) restricting the disconnection of utility service to any customer by all electric and natural
gas utilities until the public health emergency is lifted by the Governor. Although not governed by
IUB, city-operated water and sewer utilities were also strongly encouraged to cease disconnections.
Therefore, the City has not issued any utility disconnect notices since Mid-March. The Proclamation
expired on May 27, 2020, and staff is now looking on how to best manage the delinquent accounts
and what options will be available for the customers. She commented that the pandemic has affected
everyone differently. Individuals have had job losses, job changes, receiving temporary assistance
through unemployment funds, and trying to get their feet on the ground. When putting all these
factors together, staff’s goal was to work with the customers to keep their utilities intact while
getting the delinquent accounts up to date. Ms. Schildroth stated that there will be re-payment plans,
which have always been offered, but this time if an individual had a payment plan before, but didn’t
meet the terms of the payment plan, they can start over with a new plan. CDBG COVID funds will
be available through the Planning and Housing Department to help with utilities, and several
agencies will be receiving CARES funds to help with utility assistance.
Council Member Betcher stated that the Council received a lot of emails right before the Council
meeting that seemed to believe that the City was going to cut-off all utility service tonight. She
wanted to reaffirm that any utility disconnects have a process that needs to be followed, and staff will
be doing everything possible to ensure that utilities will continue to be available. Ms. Schildroth
confirmed that Ms. Betcher was correct, and staff will follow the process. The City has a very
generous process to begin with regarding notifying customers of delinquent accounts. The City of
Ames wants to work with the customers to get them the assistance they need and to avoid
disconnection. Council Member Betcher commented that the process seems to be the same as it has
been in previous years, but the amount owed would be higher. She wanted to know how many
customers routinely get their utilities cut off after going through the process. City Manager Steve
Schainker stated that it can be a little confusing as many of the customers getting shut off are in
apartment buildings and there is a tendency for some people to not pay their final bill and move out.
The apartment owner is usually notified, and the service is transferred into the landlord’s name, so
9
the utility is not shut off, and sometimes the final bill is paid by their deposit. He noted that the
numbers can be deceiving as during August they may have 50 accounts due to be shut off, but a lot
of those are from the apartment complexes.
Council Member Betcher noted that a few community members have asked about Project Share,
which is set up to help members of the community who are not able to pay their winter utility bills,
and inquired if those funds could be used in this type of situation. Mr. Schainker stated that he spoke
with Mike Wheelock from Customer Service, and he didn’t believe those funds could be used for
delinquent utilities related to COVID-19. Project Share was created to meet the requirements of a
State Ordinance that was established in 1988, and the wording states that the purpose of the funds
is to receive contributions to assist low-income customers with winterization and to supplement
energy assistance received under the Federal Low-Income Heating Assistance Program for payments
of winter heating bills. He noted the funds are directed to a particular area. Ms. Betcher stated that
it wouldn’t preclude the City of Ames from setting up another fund that may operate in a similar
way, where citizens can contribute, if they were interested. City Manager Schainker explained he
isn’t sure if they would set up a fund, but there are accounts where citizens can make donations to.
Council Member Corrieri stated she had a question for Ms. Schildroth as she is a little nervous about
the City potentially collecting for the same things that several non-profits are already funding. Ms.
Corrieri noted she was in a different meeting today, and it was brought up that there are a number
of agencies that have a healthy amount of funds available to help with different types of assistance.
She wanted to clarify that is what Ms. Schildroth has heard as well. Ms. Schildroth mentioned that
several of the agencies have received funding through CARES for items or situations that they
normally don’t have funding for and there is a lot of assistance available for citizens to utilize. Ms.
Betcher explained it may be the case of just letting a customer know where they can go to get help.
Council Member Martin wanted to clarify that he was reading the staff report correctly as it states
that the only way a disconnect order will be issued is if the customer doesn’t respond to the first and
second notices. Finance Director Duane Pitcher mentioned that one of the changes they are asking
for is that they are going to give customers notice as if it were the first time, they were coming up
delinquent. He noted that they are expecting a lot of customers to come in and make payment
arrangements and they are going to mail the first delinquent notice by billing cycles. As the accounts
that come up as delinquent, they will be given the 12-day notice, which will ask the customer to
come in and make a payment arrangement and will give them a list of agencies to contact for
assistance. The second notice is a door hanger on the premise and the only way a customer will be
shut off is if the customer did not contact the City to make some arrangement to make a payment or
come in and make the payment. Mr. Pitcher explained that it will be a long process as they do expect
to make several arrangements.
Council Member Corrieri mentioned that from her experience with a few clients that she serves,
several agencies have streamlined the process and have less paperwork to complete to help move the
assistance through as fast as possible.
10
Council Member Gartin commented that given the number of people who have been impacted, the
Council should get a report back from the Finance Department with an update on delinquent
accounts. Director Pitcher mentioned that it would be beneficial to wait for the utility department
to go through all the cycles and then they could report back to Council. Mr. Gartin wanted
clarification on if it would it impact the customer’s credit if a customer went into a collection
situation. Mr. Pitcher stated they typically do not report. There are a lot of cases that a landlord has
a Leave-On Agreement and the landlord might turn a customer’s account over to collections, but the
City does not typically report small amounts.
Council Member Martin mentioned that the actual cut-offs are tied closely to non-responsiveness.
He had heard that if the customer does respond to one of the notices, the City will work with the
customer, and wanted to verify that was correct. Director Pitcher confirmed that was correct. Mr.
Martin noted that is critical for people to understand.
Council Member Junck questioned the timeline, as based on the staff report, the delinquency
processes would start immediately, but there is a deadline of June 30, 2020, for the Low-Income
Heating Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Ms. Junck inquired as to what funding opportunities would
be available if the CDBG funds are not available yet.
Housing Coordinator Vanessa Baker-Latimer stated she did receive notification earlier today in
writing from HUD that the Action Plan had been approved and authorized the City to proceed with
the process. She commented that once she completes the environmental process (which will be done
in the morning), they can look at getting applications out sooner as HUD mentioned it will take them
about one more week to go through the documentation. She pointed out that one important factor
with the CDBG program is that a customer could not be disconnected. Ms. Baker-Latimer
commented that going through the cycling process again with past due accounts will be helpful, as
it will give customers more time to get assistance.
Mayor Haila asked for public input.
Terry Potter, 608 Douglas Avenue, Ames, stated that the discussion tonight had been very helpful.
He asked for the Council to take into consideration the explosive number of positive COVID-19
cases in Story County and the effect on the City of Ames. Mr. Potter asked, in order to prevent
customers from being cut-off, could they use the CDBG funds without an application and apply the
monies to prevent the customer from being disconnected. He commented that there were fewer than
100 COVID-19 cases at the beginning of June and now there are about 500 cases.
Moved by Corrieri, seconded by Gartin, to approve Alternative 1: To approve the resumption of
utility collections including disconnects with the following changes to the regular policy: a)
Withhold sending notice until the next regular billing cycle even though a customer is already
delinquent to the point of a disconnect notice; b) Allow for a payment plan in those situations where
such a plan had been in place, bet terms were broken; c) Offer additional options for financial
assistance, and d) Have staff report back in August.

SMALL LOTS AND INCREASING THE DIVERSITY OF HOUSING TYPES: Mayor Haila
stated this item is a Staff Report and is in the beginning of creating concepts; therefore, there would
not be any public input on this item tonight.
Planning and Housing Director Kelly Diekmann mentioned that this Report is a product of one of
the City Council’s Goals this year, which is to “Increase the stock of diverse housing types for a
variety of income levels through zoning, including: 1) adjusting minimum lot area, 2) multiple
dwelling units on a lots, and 3) accessory dwelling units. The first task assigned for this goal was an
evaluation of minimum lot size standards and multiple buildings on a lot within the City’s Zoning
Ordinance. The Staff Report identified how to look at small lots as a component of the development
process and to give the Council some examples of how other cities look at it. A Power Point was
provided to the Council to help illustrate some of the concepts in the Staff Report.
Director Diekmann explained that small lots and increasing the diversity of housing types is a
housing issue that has been under discussion in many jurisdictions. He noted that it is an industry
issue along with a city issue. Mr. Diekmann mentioned they are not talking about tiny houses, but
talking about creating individual lots for long-term construction of homes. A normal lot within the
City of Ames is probably a double-car garage wide lot; which is typically in the 65-foot-wide range
and 120 foot deep. A small lot is just not about the area, but the width as well. He noted, when
looking at the examples, the floor plans have to be very precise and specific to make sense for the
home buyer, and to provide features on the lot and architecturally that would make sense with the
neighborhood. Mr. Diekmann noted they would be looking at lots that are under 50-feet-wide and
most of the time under 100 feet deep. A couple examples that were provided by the Urban Land
Institute of a small house on a small lot were shown. Side yards are not an important feature with
small houses on small lots. He pointed out that in the Staff Report, they do mention not confusing
the small lots with a necessarily small home or a lower cost depending on the builder’s goals. They
could still build a large home on a smaller lot or have a very featured-packed home that is still going
to be very expensive. Director Diekmann stated that cities have approached this concept differently
and the approach cities are trying is the long-term livability. He then showed the following examples
of small lot home styles: 1) Pattern Book; 2) Form-Based Code example; 3) Iowa City cottages; and,
4) Cottage Courtyard. Mr. Diekmann pointed out a few examples of small lots already within the
City of Ames and indicated in West Ames, the Sunset Ridge area that is still under construction, and
in North Ames, the Bloomington Heights West.
Council Member Gartin asked if there is any research as to what the impact is on the neighborhood
when all you are seeing are garage-prominent structure when driving through the neighborhood. He
mentioned he prefers the garages to be located in the rear of the homes as it makes the neighborhood
more engaging. Director Diekmann commented, from his experience, he has spent a lot of time
trying to balance the public street appearance and the private space on the lot for the homebuyer. The
idea of having just garages on a private street with no yards and driving into a dead-end cul-de-sac
12
is not something the City of Ames will want to promote. If there are any front-loaded homes, Mr.
Diekmann recommended looking at the sidewalk connectivity, and the open connections.
Mr. Diekmann stated that a lot of cities don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach to small lot house
types. He noted that, when looking at different cities within Iowa, the default basis Single-Family
Zoning is the same in almost every city. The City of Ames has one of the smaller lot sizes with
higher density expectations at 6,000 square feet. Cities are normally relying on a Planned Unit
Development (PUD) process. They are asking for developers to ask for waivers or deviations from
basic code standards to do small lots. Director Diekmann stated that, in the Staff Report, there are
a few options for Council to think about as they move forward. He noted there are some very short
and small options the Council could go with. Option 1 and Option 2 talk about lowering the lot line
standards or adding in an element where a variation could be done. Option 3 has an intentional
component of trying to create diverse housing opportunities through mandatory standards rather than
through optional or flexible standards. Option 4 is creating a new Planned Unit Development tool
to focus on smaller lot issues to consider case-by-case design issues and provide a greater degree of
flexibility than usually afforded by base housing.
Council Member Gartin stated that it seems counter-intuitive that Option 4 would necessarily
diminish focus on green space and inquired why that would be. Mr. Diekmann explained that the
default standards are hard to achieve when doing anything with a variation. A PRD allows for
flexibility, but its automatic trade-off is substantial open space being set aside and not density
expectation.
Mr. Diekmann stated that Option 5 is to establish housing prototypes with Form-Based zoning
standards. This option could be a stand-alone zoning approach, or the basis of a design guideline tool
related to other zoning changes. He mentioned that Form-Based zoning describes how the City
would want to orient a home and what features need to be integrated depending on lot sizes. This
option would be more design-oriented and may need to be combined with some of the other tools.
Since Form-Based learning is not currently used within the City, there could be a steep learning
curve. Mr. Diekmann noted that the City has been talking for years about how to get more homes
built in the City and it is very clear that it is a desire in the community. The hard part is how to do
this with the current market. Mr. Diekmann thought that if the City did a small adjustment and went
down to 5,000 square feet that would be encouraging. Staff is eager to get direction from the Council
and move forward. Director Diekmann commented that in terms of public input, since this is the first
step, they reached out to the developer’s interest group and alerted them that the City Council was
taking the first step with a staff report. He noted that, when moving forward, there will be plenty of
opportunities to get developer input.
Council Member Gartin commented that the Form-Based zoning is new to the development
community and new for the City of Ames and suggested it would be helpful to have something on
the web to provide substantial examples.
Mayor Haila referred to the City Council Goal as stated earlier and that in the staff report it notes that
13
while lot area influences the overall cost of housing, it should not be misconstrued that smaller lots
necessarily lead to lower cost or “affordable” homes automatically. Variables on home size and
finishes affect the overall cost of home at a much higher rate than lot size. Staff finds the issues of
sales price and lot area do intersect, but it is more directly connected to creating housing variety than
ensuring affordable housing. He mentioned that as the Council starts to discuss this topic and moving
forward, he wondered if the Council’s Goal is being accomplished or if the goals are incompatible.
Mayor Haila wanted to know if the goal was to provide housing through a variety of income levels,
is it through zoning or by some other means. He wanted the Council to think about what they are
trying to accomplish with their goal.
Council Member Gartin stated that the Council can’t achieve affordable housing through zoning.
When looking at the factors that go into housing (materials, labor, land cost, etc.), there are some
things that can be tweaked by zoning, but all they can do is encourage more construction, so the price
is being affected by the quantity. The challenge is the City is not building enough houses to drive
down the curve.
Council Member Beatty-Hansen commented that if you allow for smaller lot sizes, you could put
more houses. She understood Council Member Gartin’s comment about only zoning changes to bring
affordable housing, but still believes it is an important piece. Council Member Gartin noted he is
very support of creating some flexibility, but believes Mayor Haila’s comment was very profound
as it is not going to be the silver bullet that solves all the affordable housing issues. Ms. Beatty-
Hansen mentioned that there are many approaches at once. Council Member Corrieri stated that they
have heard some from the development community that this type of flexibility whether with the PUD
or some other mechanism will help in some way to address some of the affordability issues.
Mayor Haila referenced the Council goal and stated maybe they need to define what “variety of
income levels” means and inquired if that meant people from low-moderate-income up to a higher-
wage earner. Council Member Betcher stated that the Council is getting into the position where they
are using the term “affordable housing” and should be saying “housing affordability,” because
having smaller lots can lead to housing affordability for certain income levels much more than it
leads to affordable housing for LMI individuals, although it can help to contribute to that. Ms.
Betcher noted that when she is thinking about smaller lots, she is thinking about a means to
increasing diversity stock that is still going to get to more levels of income than the current housing
stock. It will increase affordability, but not specifically designed to solve the affordable housing
problem.
Council Member Martin mentioned that he agrees with what has been said and that the goal is
phrased well. He would like to pursue this more, but not ready to make any major decisions tonight.
Mr. Martin thought the staff presentation was a great introduction and to think about what to do next.
Some of the options presented were good ideas but doesn’t feel that the Council needs to move
quickly.
Council Member Junck commented that this was one of the goals she had brought up and was
14
excited to see the report. One of the things she was looking at was how the tasks were laid out after
the goal. Ms. Junck stated that one of the tasks states “after the report is provided the Council will
decide whether to proceed with changes before getting another staff report about accessory dwelling
units,” but thought it would be helpful to have the report on accessory dwelling units before making
any decisions. This way the Council can comprehensively look at both together. Council Member
Betcher agreed with Council Member Junck. Director Diekmann stated if staff did that it would be
a big change. In the Ames 2040 Plan discussion, they said they would look into accessory dwelling
more when they got into the land use discussions and understanding what expectations were in
existing neighborhoods. Mr. Diekmann viewed this task as new development. He noted that small
lots and accessory dwellings are not related because they are not addressing the same types of
properties. He mentioned they could be done concurrently, but there is more work on the accessory
living unit side then there is in investigating zoning district changes.
Mayor Haila asked Director Diekmann to talk about how the discussion of Zoning and Zoning
Ordinances interface with the Ames 2040 Plan. Director Diekmann commented that as the Council
gets through the Ames 2040 Plan, it will become clear what elements of the Zoning Ordinance need
to change to fit the policies of that Plan. Mr. Diekmann noted that this task fits within the current
Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP), and they already have a goal to support housing diversity and variety
and if they are saying the current tools are not accomplishing this, they could say that moving
forward with a Zoning Ordinance fits with the idea of the current LUPP.
Council Member Beatty-Hansen asked for a reminder of what Director Diekmann had suggested
with the PUD tool and the 5,000-square-foot lot size. Mr. Diekmann stated if they just reduced the
lot area that would be simple to do and will give a little bit of change to the Ordinance, and doesn’t
lead to the new kind of development concepts, and that is where they would need the PUD tool to
allow for development. Ms. Beatty-Hansen questioned if the two together were a good combination.
Director Diekmann stated that as the staff begins to look through options, they will begin to see what
they want for a small lot project, and then some of it could be rolled into zoning directly and maybe
some needs to be kept in the PUD Ordinance.
Mayor Haila mentioned that the people that will be affected the most by the small lots are
developers. The developers were alerted that the Council would be taking this concern up for
discussion, but did not have any hard materials to look at. Mayor Haila inquired if it would be
appropriate to schedule a workshop to discuss this topic further. He wanted to make sure if any
changes were to be made, additional feedback would be needed. Director Diekmann explained that
staff could do that, but it is hard for the development community to respond in theory without some
idea of where the Council is heading with the project. He noted there are big differences between
Option 1 and Option 5.
Moved by Beatty-Hansen, seconded by Corrieri, to have staff look further into and get feedback on
Options 1 (Modify Base Zoning Standards for Lot Area) and Option 4 (Establish a Planned Unit
Development Tool).
15
Council Member Betcher asked if the PUD tool would create a lot more work for staff than Option
5 (Establish Housing Prototypes with Form-Based Zoning Standards). Mr. Diekmann commented
that Option 5 would create more work than Option 4. Option 5 is going to have a higher level of
detail than Option 4. Option 4 is going to setup framework or parameters that staff will want to see.
Option 4 would respond to a developer’s request where Option 5 is going to define in a greater level
of detail what staff would expect someone to do and the developer will know going into the project
that they will need to match that expectation. Council Member Betcher inquired if that would
remove the project by project analysis if the design standards are set for a Form-Based Zoning.
Director Diekmann stated that Form-Based Zoning has value, but is time-intensive on the front and
back end.
Council Member Beatty-Hansen stated that she is leaning on staff recommendations, and those two
options would be something to start with and get more input from the development community.
Council Member Gartin stated that he likes Option 1 and Option 4, but would like to add Option 2
(Create Optional Lot Size Variation Option) to give more options to respond to. Mr. Diekmann
stated, for outreach, there would not be any additional work.
Council Member Betcher questioned how they arrived at the maintaining of the 50-foot lot width
requirement on Option 1 as other cities that have gone to the 5,000 square-foot lot have also reduced
the lot width. Mr. Diekmann stated if you keep lot width, you will get the features on a public street
look; you will get the driveway space that allows on-street parking, and still space for street trees.
When you start to go below 50-feet, there is a lot of pressure on how things are going to fit. His
comfort level was to reduce square footage.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
Moved by Gartin, seconded by Betcher, to include Option 2 to what is being presented to the
community and for the workshop.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
Director Diekmann stated in July the Council is already scheduled to discuss 321 State Avenue in
July. In August, the Council is holding that Workshop for non-planning items. He noted in the Fall,
they will be discussing the Ames 2040 Plan again. Mr. Diekmann asked that the Council give staff
time during the summer to reach out to developers and then will provide communication back to the
Council to see if they should have a workshop or how to go about incorporating the input.
HEARING ON 2019//20 SHARED USE PATH SYSTEM EXPANSION - VET MED TRAIL
(S. 16TH STREET TO ISU RESEARCH PARK): Council Member Gartin wanted to direct the
Council’s attention to Page 3 of the Staff Report, Section 9, regarding the duration of easement. He
mentioned that normally easements are perpetual unless they are a temporary construction type of
easement or some other reason why there needs to be a constraint on the easement. Mr. Gartin’s
concern was that, by having a 20-year easement, it will place a burden on staff to periodically go
16
back and renegotiate the easement. He commented he was concerned that this would be setting a
precedent as to how the City is entering into Agreements with the University. City Manager Steve
Schainker stated that over the years the position of the University has changed; there was a time that
they used to have 199-year Agreements with the University for parkland, but that has been reduced
substantially. He noted he is not sure if it is the position of the University. In the past, negotiations
had taken place with the University, but now the Board of Regents Attorney’s office is involved and
have different expectations for the easements. Mr. Schainker noted that it wasn’t because they City
didn’t want longer easements, but it is not possible to negotiate longer terms right now.
The public hearing was opened by the Mayor. He closed the hearing after no one asked to speak.
Moved by Beatty-Hansen, seconded by Corrieri, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 20-357 approving a
20-year Shared Use Path Easement with Iowa State University for a portion of path on the Vet Med
property and authorize City staff to approve any de minimis changes required by the Attorney
General and Board of Regents.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these Minutes.
Moved by Beatty-Hansen, seconded by Betcher, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 20-358 approving the
final plans and specifications and awarding a contract to Howrey Construction, Inc., of Rockwell
City, Iowa, in the amount of $282,715.05, subject to the City being granted an acceptable easement
from the State of Iowa.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these Minutes.
HEARING ON 2019/20 ARTERIAL STREET PAVEMENT IMPROVEMENTS - 13TH
STREET (WILSON AVENUE TO DUFF AVENUE): The Mayor opened the public hearing and
closed it after there was no one wishing to speak.
Moved by Gartin, seconded by Corrieri, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 20-359 approving the final
plans and specifications and awarding a contract to Con-Struct, Inc., of Ames, Iowa, in the amount
of $2,350,344.20.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these Minutes.
HEARING ON CYRIDE 2020 INTERIOR IMPROVEMENT: Mayor Haila opened the public
hearing and closed it when no one came forward.
Moved by Gartin, seconded by Junck, to approve the Report of Bids and delaying award to allow for
Transit Board approval.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared unanimously.
HEARING ON PROPOSED VACATION OF A PORTION OF CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY
17
ADJACENT TO THE SOUTH EDGE OF 2400 SE 16TH STREET: The public hearing was
opened by the Mayor. He closed the hearing after no one asked to speak.
Moved by Beatty-Hansen, seconded by Gartin, to pass on first reading an ordinance to vacate a
portion of City right-of-way adjacent to the south edge of 2400 SE 16th Street.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
ORDINANCE REVISING THE PARKING REGULATIONS ON WESTBROOK DRIVE:
The Mayor opened the public hearing and closed it after there was no one wishing to speak.
Moved by Martin, seconded by Gartin, to pass on first reading an ordinance revising the parking
regulations on Westbrook Drive.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON DUFF AVENUE (20TH
STREET TO GRAND AVENUE): Moved by Junck, seconded by Gartin, to pass on second
reading an ordinance establishing parking restrictions on Duff Avenue from 20th Street to Grand
Avenue, and prohibiting parking at all times on the west and south side of Duff Avenue from
Douglas Avenue to 22nd Street and from 120' west of Briggs Circle intersection to Grand Avenue.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
ORDINANCE UPDATING NAME OF IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENT
GOVERNMENT IN AMES MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 26A: Moved by Junck, seconded
by Beatty-Hansen, to pass on third reading and adopt ORDINANCE NO. 4415 updating the name
of the Iowa State University Student Government in Ames Municipal Code Section 26A.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
DISPOSITION OF COMMUNICATIONS TO COUNCIL: Mayor Haila mentioned that there
were three items to be addressed. The first was an informational memo from the Planning and
Housing Department in response to the request its department received to amend the Ames Urban
Fringe Plan (AUFP) Long-Term Industrial Reserve designation of property used as the former
Caremoli USA plant. Mayor Haila commented that it was the recommendation of staff to place the
request on a future agenda for further discussion.
Moved by Corrieri, second by Beatty-Hansen, to have staff place this item on a future Agenda.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
Mayor Haila stated that the second item was a memo that staff prepared regarding a request from
Blake Jensen for some property south of Ames. The Mayor noted that this morning the Council
received an email from the applicant, and after talking with Planning and Housing Director Kelly
Diekmann, it was his understanding that Mr. Jensen had withdrawn his request as they are no longer
interested in pursuing the request.
18
Mayor Haila mentioned the last item was a letter from Lojean Petersen representing the Ames Main
Street Farmers’ Market. Council Member Martin stated that the request is to permit the Ames Main
Street Farmers’ Market to resume all activities. Mr. Martin commented that his own feeling is that
the Council should still have an interest in minimizing entertainment distractions in the City of
Ames. He fully supports the idea of allowing non-food items as in previous years. Some of the food
vendors like to offer samples of their food and wine, as a prelude to purchase, but that not really a
gathering type of event.
Moved by Martin, seconded by Corrieri, to approve the request of the Ames Main Street Farmers’
Market for the addition of non-profit artisans, crafters, and other vendors to the market, and food and
wine sampling can be resumed at the Market.
Council Member Gartin asked for clarification as to what would not be allowed at the Farmers’
Market. Council Member Martin stated it would be activities, music, tables and chairs, and to be able
to eat food within the market. Mr. Martin commented that the Market would be more of “get what
you would like, social distance, and keep moving.”
Council Member Betcher stated she is not comfortable with eating food within the Market, so she
probably wouldn’t support the motion, but other than the food she doesn’t see a problem. Council
Member Beatty-Hansen commented that it would be only sampling food and wine and general
merchandise vendors. Council Member Betcher stated it would be difficult to separate the food
sampling from eating other food and may lead people to believe that they can eat the food from the
food trucks while still at the Market.
Council Member Gartin mentioned that he will support the motion, but will be making another
motion to add the other items that he felt would be beneficial.
Vote on Motion: 5-1. Voting Aye: Gartin, Junck, Corrieri, Beatty-Hansen, Martin. Voting Nay:
Betcher. Motion declared carried.
Council Member Gartin stated that since the State has lifted the other restrictions for Farmers’
Markets, the Council has generally taken the posture that they will follow the States
recommendations with respect to issues of health and safety. Mr. Gartin commented that the point
Council Member Martin had made about an equal protection perspective is what the Council should
do, and treat like parties in a similar fashion. He felt that since restaurants were able to open back
up, this would be the next step for the Farmers’ Market.
Moved by Gartin to lift the other restrictions on the Farmers’ Market.
Motion failed for lack of a second.
COUNCIL COMMENTS: Council Member Betcher stated she had a very successful NLC Summer
Board and Committee Leadership Summit. There were exciting discussions around the ideas that the
race and equity team were sharing. There are a lot of communities that are trying to improve their
19
inclusion and diversity efforts.
Council Member Junck wanted to remind everyone about the second NAACP Zoom meeting on
Thursday, June 25, 2020. She thought the first meeting went well and is excited to see how the other
meetings will go.
Council Member Corrieri stated that they have seen the COVID-19 numbers spike over the past
couple of weeks and given what they are seeing regarding public health along with several local
businesses electing to close. She felt the Council should have a formal discussion on what measures
they are taking either legally or what measures they are encouraging the public to do to keep
themselves and each other safe.
Moved Corrieri, seconded by Betcher, to add to the next agenda a formal staff report laying out what
legal options are available to the Council, especially given the recent Story County public health
guidance, and what other recommendations staff may have about encouraging particular behaviors
within businesses and the community.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
Mayor Haila wanted to echo what Council Member Junck said regarding the NAACP Zoom
meetings. He stated that they had so many participants on the first meeting, they had to increase the
capacity. Public Relations Coordinator Susan Gwiasda commented that the NAACP Zoom meetings
are being recorded and people can go to the Media Productions page on the City of Ames website,
under “Archived,” to watch any previously recorded video.
CLOSED SESSION: Mayor Haila asked City Attorney Mark Lambert if there was a legal reason
to go into Closed Session. Mr. Lambert replied in the affirmative, citing Section 21.5(1)c, Code of
Iowa, to discuss matters presently in or threatened to be in litigation.
Moved by Corrieri, seconded by Betcher, to go into Closed Session under Section 21.5(1)c, Code
of Iowa, to discuss matters presently in or threatened to be in litigation.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
The Council entered Closed Session at 8:17 p.m. and reconvened in Regular Session at 8:50 p.m.
Moved by Betcher, seconded by Beatty-Hansen, to approve the Settlement Agreement with Tim
Hansen.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Motions declared carried unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT: Moved by Betcher to adjourn the meeting at 8:50 p.m.

Legal Department
To: Mayor Haila, Ames City Council
From: Mark O. Lambert, City Attorney
Date: July 8, 2020
Subject: City of Ames Tobacco Ordinance
On December 20, 2019, the President signed legislation amending the Federal Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act, raising the federal minimum age for the purchase of tobacco products from 18
to 21 years. The legislation became effective immediately upon the President’s signature.
The Iowa General Assembly recently passed SF 2268, changing state law on the purchase of
tobacco (and vaping and nicotine) products also from 18 to 21; the Governor signed the bill
into law on June 29, 2020. The changes to the law became effective immediately upon the
Governor’s signature.
The City of Ames has the following ordinance regarding the purchase/sale of tobacco products,
which is now inconsistent with state law:
Sec. 17.33. PROVISION OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS TO MINORS.
(1)A person shall not sell, give, or otherwise supply any tobacco,
tobacco products, or cigarettes to any person under eighteen years of age.
Violation of this subsection shall be a municipal infraction punishable by a
penalty of $300 for a person’s first violation and $750.00 for each repeat
violation; and, alternatively a violation of this subsection can be charged by a
peace officer of the City as a simple misdemeanor.
(2)If the holder of a permit issued by the Iowa Department of Revenue
and Finance under Chapter 453A Code of Iowa, or any employee of such
permittee, during the course of the permittee’s business, knowingly sells or
otherwise supplies any cigarette or other tobacco product to any person under
Item No. 11
eighteen years of age, or fails to take reasonable measures to ascertain
whether that person is eighteen or more years of age, the said permittee shall
have committed a municipal infraction punishable by a penalty of $300 for that
permittee’s first such violation and $750.00 for each repeat violation.
OPTIONS:
1. Direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance prohibiting the sale of tobacco,
vaping and nicotine products to persons under age 21.
2. Do not move forward with amending the current ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Attorney’s Office and the Ames Police Department believe the Ames
Municipal Code should be updated to be consistent with the recent changes in state
law, by specifying it is unlawful to sell or supply tobacco products to persons under 21
years of age (instead of the current age 18) and also by adding vaping products and
other nicotine products to the ordinance. Therefore, Option #1 is being recommended.
ITEM # 13
DATE: 07-14-20
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: CARES ACT GRANT FOR THE AMES MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
BACKGROUND:
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is offering a grant through the Coronavirus
Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act for the Ames Municipal Airport. This
grant is part of a national stimulus package approved by Congress to help with the
economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ames will receive up to a maximum of
$69,000 to assist with operational expenses incurred after January 20, 2020, for the
next four years (1,460 calendar days). The FAA has provided a detailed presentation
explaining the process that determined how funds were allocated under the legislation
(Attached to this CAF).
Staff is in the process of assessing the facilities at the Ames Municipal Airport for repairs,
replacements, or other maintenance needs that are eligible for reimbursement under the
CARES Act grant. Once a list of maintenance projects has been generated, staff will work
with the Fleet and Facilities Department and our Fixed Based Operator (FBO) to prioritize
the projects. Considering many buildings at the Airport were built in the late 1970s
and early 1980s, it is expected that the majority of the funds will be spent on roof,
door, and other structural repairs of the buildings.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the CARES Act grant agreement for the Ames Municipal Airport in the
amount not to exceed $69,000.
2. Reject the grant offer.
MANAGER’S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By approving the CARES Act grant, the City will provide much-needed relief to the
operational expenses at the Airport. The additional funding should significantly extend the
usable life of the public facilities at the Airport.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1, as noted above.

Capping these ratios at no more than 25.0
prevents disproportionately high award levels.
Setting this otherwise incalculable ratio at the
same level (25.0) supports statutory consistency.
Adding the ratios together creates an index for calculating
the allocation %. Each individual ratio is compared
against the total index to derive their percentage allocation
from this portion of the available funds.

COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: FY 2020/21 AIRPORT IMPROVEMENTS (ELECTRICAL VAULT &
LIGHTING PROJECT)
BACKGROUND:
On May 26, 2020, City Council voted to award the FY 2020/21 Airport Improvements
(Electrical Vault & Lighting Project) to Kimrey Electric of Urbandale, IA, in the amount of
$447,055.60, conditional upon receipt of an approved FAA grant for the project. On July
7, 2020, City staff received the FAA grant agreement from their electronic grant system
being used during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The project had a base bid (electrical vault), and two bid alternatives (north and south
sections of Taxiway A lighting). The FAA grant offer is for the full award of the project,
including the base bid and both bid alternatives. Engineering and construction
inspection serves are estimated at $110,200, which brings the total estimated project cost
to $557,255.60. Federal funding for the project totals $545,954.00, which leaves
approximately $11,301.60 in local project costs for certain work items that the FAA
considers ineligible for Federal funding. This local amount will come from the available
balance of the Airport Construction Fund.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the FAA grant offer agreement for the FY 2020/21 Airport Improvements
(Electrical Vault & Lighting Project) in the amount up to maximum funding of
$545,954.00, thereby designating the Mayor, John A. Haila, as the sponsor’s
authorized representative.
2. Reject the FAA Grant offer and direct staff to reprogram the project.
MANAGER’S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By awarding this contract, the City will move forward with the replacement of outdated
lighting controls and failing taxiway lighting at the Airport. This will help ensure the ongoing
high safety standards and quality of the facility currently seen at the Airport through
leveraging federal funds
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1, as noted above.
ITEM # 15

COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: WAIVER OF PURCHASING POLICIES FOR PURCHASE OF FIRE
APPARATUS
BACKGROUND:
Fire apparatus are essential equipment for firefighting. The replacement program ensures
the replacement of fire apparatus at the end of their operational life. Front line apparatus
are kept for approximately 15 years, with the goal of rotating apparatus to serve as
backups for another 10 to 15 years. The City currently has only one ladder truck (Truck
3). It is due for replacement, as identified in the Capital Improvements Plan. This truck
was purchased in 2001, and after replacement it will be refurbished and used as a
reserve. This will mitigate the need for assistance from neighboring communities for unit
stand-by when a ladder truck is out of service.
Current City of Ames Purchasing Policies call for formal bids for purchases over $50,000.
For Fleet purchases this would typically involve writing a specification for the vehicle
based on the needs of the department for the vehicle. Due to the complexity of fire
apparatus, writing specifications could lead to manufacturers creating custom engineered
apparatus to meet the City’s specifications. As an alternative, City staff believes that
working with vendors on standard models with their options will provide a quality
apparatus at a reduced cost. This was the process used to buy Truck 3 in 2001.
In February, staff issued a Request for Information to prospective ladder truck vendors.
Responses were received from six vendors. Staff evaluated each vendor based on
several factors including safety, operational costs, service, and references. Costs of the
units were not included in this evaluation. After this review, staff determined that two
vendors met the needs of the department and would provide the best apparatus for the
City. Those two vendors are Pierce and Rosenbauer.
For the previous purchase, the City negotiated with the vendor and bought directly
through that vendor. After discussions with vendors, staff would also like to explore the
purchase through a cooperative purchasing organization. A cooperative purchasing
organization assists local governments by aggregating demand, to create a national
cooperative of contract purchasing opportunities that results in lower purchasing costs
and time spent writing specifications. Staff talked to ten other fire departments from
across the state that have successfully utilized this process to their benefit, including Des
Moines, Ankeny and Waterloo. Staff has identified that both Sourcewell and the Houston-
Galveston Area Council would allow the purchase of the type of apparatus that is being
proposed. It is staff’s intent to work with the vendors and cooperatives to find the
best value for purchase.
The FY 2020/21 Budget includes $1,250,000 for this purchase from G.O. bond proceeds.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Waive City’s formal bidding procedures and authorize staff to negotiate the
purchase of a ladder truck with two vendors, Pierce and Rosenbauer, and through
a cooperative. The staff will return to the City Council for approval of the purchase
once negotiations have been concluded.
2. Direct staff to buy the ladder truck utilizing traditional purchasing procedures that
could result in more costly customized specifications.
CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Ladder Truck 3 is almost 20 years old and is due for replacement. It is the City’s only
aerial apparatus capable of rescuing people from buildings three stories or higher, with
the ability to apply water from an elevated platform in any direction.
By approving the ability to negotiate with two vendors, Pierce and Rosenbauer, and use
a cooperative, staff will be able to focus on standard models rather than custom
apparatus. This process should help reduce the cost of the purchase. Therefore, it is the
recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as
described above.

COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: LED LUMINAIRES SUPPLY CONTRACT FOR ELECTRIC
DISTRIBUTION
BACKGROUND:
This project will provide for the replacement of nearly all existing High-Pressure Sodium
(HPS) and Mercury Vapor (MV) Street Light fixtures with Light Emitting Diode (LED)
fixtures during routine maintenance activities. The CIP includes a project to replace
approximately 7,500 street and security lights over a 5-year period, which includes
nearly all lights within the City of Ames electric system. This contract represents the fifth
of this replacement effort and will provide LED luminaires for the period from award date
through June 30, 2021.
LED lights have a longer life and use significantly less energy than existing HPS and
MV fixtures. They are instant on, reduce energy usage, decrease the City’s carbon
footprint, contribute to a more sustainable Ames, and direct light downward to avoid
light contamination of the night sky while reducing the glare that can negatively affect
drivers. By performing retrofits during routine maintenance activities, this effort is
expected to generate a return on investment within 10 years, based on projected energy
and maintenance savings. LED fixtures have an expected life of at least 20 years
compared to between 5 and 10 years for HPS.
The purpose of this project is to allow for the existing streetlight maintenance
workers to retrofit LED lights during routine maintenance on HPS and MV lights
in order to minimize retrofit labor costs. Since this effort will be routine-
maintenance-based, it will not target specific streets or areas.
Under the proposed contract, LED luminaires would be purchased at the City’s
discretion which may be quarterly or on an as-needed basis. This provides the City with
flexible inventory management and helps to reduce the need for storage space. The FY
2020/21 Capital Improvements Plan includes $150,000 for the LED Street Lights –
Maintenance Retrofits. In addition, staff is carrying over $72,000 from the FY 2019/20
Capital Improvements Plan for the LED Street Lights – Maintenance Retrofits which was
not spent last FY. Council should note that no contract amount is being authorized at
this time, since payments will be made as these poles are purchased.
On June 8, 2020, an Invitation To Bid (ITB) document was issued to 65 companies. The
ITB was advertised on the Current Bid Opportunities section of the Purchasing
webpage.
2
On June 26, 2020, six (6) bids were received, as shown on the attached report. Council
should note that the Evaluated Cost is based on quantities that staff estimates will be
purchased during this contract period, unit prices, and operating costs. The operating
cost is based on input Watts of the LED luminaire offered and energy cost of $3.00 per
Watt.
Staff reviewed bids and concluded that the apparent low bid based on Evaluated
Cost submitted by Terry-Durin Company, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is acceptable.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Award a contract to Terry-Durin Company, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for the LED
Luminaires Supply Contract for Electric Distribution in accordance with unit prices
bid.
LED luminaires will be purchased as requested. Payments will be based on unit
prices bid and actual quantities ordered.
2. Award the contract to one of the other bidders.
3. Reject all bids and attempt to purchase LED Luminaires on an as needed basis
at unpredictable prices.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is important to purchase LED luminaires at the lowest possible cost with minimal risk
to the City. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City
Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as stated above.

SUBJECT: WATER TREATMENT PLANT LIME SLUDGE DISPOSAL CONTRACT
RENEWAL
BACKGROUND:
The City of Ames Water Treatment Plant (WTP) is a conventional lime softening facility
that generates lime sludge as a by-product of the lime softening process. The lime sludge
consists primarily of calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide which is dewatered
and stored in lagoons prior to disposal on agricultural ground as a soil conditioner. To
continue to have adequate storage for the lime sludge, the lime sludge must be cleaned
out of the lagoons annually.
On May 8, 2018, City Council awarded a contract to Wulfekuhle Injection and Pumping,
Inc. of New Vienna, Iowa, for the removal and disposal of lime sludge. The contract
agreement calls for the removal of 28,000 wet tons of lime at a unit cost of $13.25 per wet

SUBJECT: CHEMICAL TREATMENT PROGRAM FOR POWER PLANT
BACKGROUND:
This contract is for the chemicals and services for chemical treatment of the boilers,
cooling tower, coal yard, and ash ponds at the Power Plant for the period from July 1,
2020 through June 30, 2021. The scope of work includes supplying a range of chemicals,
technical expertise in boiler chemistry and analysis, the ability to train Power Plant staff
in maintaining the system, and detailed monitoring and analysis of the boilers to insure
they are safeguarded against damage. All of this is essential for the operation of the
Power Plant.
On April 29, 2020, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued to fourteen companies for
proposals. The RFP was advertised on the Current Bid Opportunities section of the
Purchasing webpage and was also sent to three plan rooms. On May 21, 2020, staff
received proposals from five companies. Staff evaluated the proposals and independently
evaluated and scored all five proposals in the following two steps:
STEP 1:
The proposals were evaluated based on documentation of site visit and compliance with
proposal documents. This criterion was rated on a Pass / Fail basis.
STEP 2:
The proposals were evaluated based on 1) service-related performance capabilities; 2)
references, history of performance, and ability to meet ongoing services; 3) technical
proposal; and 4) price.
Based on the matrix used to evaluate these proposals, the average scores in this step
are shown below:
Offerors Averaged
Scores
Overall Annual
Base Case Cost*
ChemTreat, Inc
Glen Allen, VA 760 $208,587.55
Nalco Company, LLC 652 $298,672.00
622 $185,109.43
Garratt-Callahan Company
Burlingame, CA 548 $168,255.6
473 $75,274.00
Each score was based on a scale of 1 to 10. Overall, 1,000 possible points were available
cumulatively for each firm. The overall weighted score was a function of the
aforementioned evaluation factors.
Based on the average scores and a unanimous decision by the evaluation committee,
staff is recommending that a contract be awarded to ChemTreat, Inc., Glen Allen, VA, for
an amount not-to-exceed $290,000, which is the amount approved in the FY2020/21
Power Plant operating budget. Payments would be calculated on unit prices bid for actual
work performed.
Staff is mindful that the proposed award is one of the higher cost proposals. It is
important to note that while cost is one component of the evaluation process, it is
most important that the vendor selected meets the City’s needs. Staff believes the
value provided by ChemTreat’s proposal far outweighs the cost difference
compared to the other proposals.
The decision to recommend ChemTreat was based on the following considerations:
-Some of the lower cost proposals charged additionally for lab services and
service visits.
-Some proposals did not provide references from utility boilers.
-Some proposals offered a much different chemical treatment philosophy which
is different the City’s.
-Some proposals made claims that the chemicals they would be using, which are
cheaper, are the same chemicals that we currently use. After researching this
claim, it was proved inaccurate.
- Some proposals did not account for the Manganese in the water, which would
have a negative effect on the Power Plant operations.
- Some proposals did not perform a water cycle study to understand the City’s
system well in order to provide an accurate bid.
The benefits of having a contract for these services in place include the following:
1) Consistency of work and quality from a single contractor.
2) Reduction in the City’s exposure to market forces regarding prices and
availability for labor, travel, and supplies in preparation for a scheduled outage.
3) Rapid contractor mobilization to start emergency repairs, thus reducing
generation downtime.
4) Saved City staff time obtaining quotes, evaluating bids and preparing
specifications and other procurement documentation.
The City may renew the original contract for up to four (4) additional twelve-month periods
and shall follow the criteria.
- Extension terms are contingent upon approval by the Ames awarding authority.
- No price escalation will be allowed during the initial term of the Contract. Price
adjustments thereafter will be only as agreed for each extension period, and prices
shall remain unchanged during each extension period.
- If it is mutually decided to renew beyond the initial period and the vendor
requests a price increase, the vendor shall provide enough written certification and
documentation to substantiate the request. Documentation shall include, but not be
limited to, actual materials invoices, copies of commercial price lists, provision of
appropriate indices, etc., which reflect said increases.
- Proposed price increases shall be submitted a minimum of 60 days prior to the
Contract renewal date.
- The City reserves the right to accept or reject price increase proposals for
extension periods, to negotiate more favorable terms, or to terminate without cost,
the future performance of the Contract.
Invoices will be based on contract rates for time and materials for services actually
received.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Award a contract to ChemTreat, Inc., Glen Allen, VA, for Chemical Treatment
Program in an amount not-to-exceed $290,000.
This contract includes a provision that would allow the City to renew the contract
for up to four additional one-year terms at the discretion of the City Council.
2. Award a contract to one of the other proposers.
3. Reject all proposals and purchase chemical treatment services on an as-needed
basis.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The quality of the chemicals and service that we receive under this contract is critical to
optimal operation of the Power Plant. Competent treatment of the water in the boiler and
cooling tower systems is essential to keeping the Plant in top operating condition.
It is essential to receive chemicals and related treatment services for the Power Plant at
the lowest possible cost consistent with the quality required to maintain Plant operations.
It is also necessary to lock in prices and accountability with key contractors. By choosing
Alternative No. 1, the Plant will be able to achieve these goals.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1 as stated above.

COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: STEAM TURBINE NO. 8 PARTS PROCUREMENT
BACKGROUND:
This project is for the procurement of critical and miscellaneous parts for the Power Plant’s
Unit #8 Turbine-Generator Overhaul project. This unit is scheduled to be disassembled,
inspected, and repaired at the same time as the Unit 8 Boiler Repair Project being
performed this year. This work is required to replace worn parts found during the
inspection of the turbine and generator. Repairs and replacement of worn parts will be
completed as the inspection progresses. Experience has shown that certain parts require
replacement every major overhaul and some parts become unusable during the
disassembly process. This overhaul and parts replacement are required and
recommended by boiler and machinery insurance carriers and follows accepted industry
standards.
This portion of the project is for the purchase and delivery of turbine parts required
to replenish inventory items and parts expected to be used during the overhaul.
Bid documents were issued to 17 firms and three plan rooms. The bid was advertised on
the Current Bid Opportunities section of the Purchasing webpage and a Legal Notice was
published on the websites of a contractor plan room service with statewide circulation and
the Iowa League of Cities. On April 29, 2020, four responsive and one non-responsive
bids were received. On May 12, 2020, bids were reported to City Council and award of
contract(s) were delayed allowing staff time to more thoroughly evaluate the bids and
verify that the parts offered fully meet GE specifications.
The engineer’s estimate for anticipated parts was $850,000 based on preliminary quotes
received from General Electric, the turbine-generator original equipment manufacturer
(OEM).
It should be noted that the original Engineer’s estimate did not include the
procurement of the replacement of turbine bucket blading on stages 1,1A, 2, 3, 4,
and 5 of the Unit #8 turbine. This blading was originally being considered as
optional pricing to be including in construction costs, as the replacement of the
blading was to be determined upon inspection during the outage. Upon further
review of turbine overhaul reports and turbine performance, the staff has
determined that the blading should be replaced during the Unit #8 turbine outage.
Argo Turboserve is the only bidder to provide costs of the blading for an amount
of $459,841.06.
The specification was written to allow purchasing individual parts from different bidders.
Staff reviewed the bids, obtained documentation and references, and determined
that most parts would be awarded to the lowest bidder, but to ensure correct fit of
precision parts, six (6) critical parts would be awarded to the OEM (Original
Equipment Manufacturer), Argo Turboserve Corporation.
The summary of all of the parts to be purchased from each of the bidders is as follows:
The total award amount for turbine parts is:
Argo Turboserve Corporation $1,065,217.00 plus sales tax
to be paid direct
Mechanical Dynamics & Analysis LLC $144,960.47
Alin Machining Company, Inc. $99,637.19
Action Turbine Repair Service, Inc. $39,160.00 plus sales tax to be
paid direct
Total $1,348,974.66
The approved FY 2019/2020 Capital Improvements Plan includes the following funding
for the Unit 8 Turbine Generator Overhaul.
2019/20 Material/Parts $1,000,000
2019/20 Construction $2,000,000
TOTAL $3,000,000
Using the turbine generator overhaul recently completed on Power Plant Unit #7 as a
guideline, the construction cost for this project should be much less than the $2,000,000
budgeted. Staff believes that the increase in Material/Parts cost will not cause the project
to exceed the overall $3,000,000 approved budget.
A turbine-Generator overhaul is only performed every 5-10 years depending on the
service demand. This is because of the difficulty and cost of such a repair project. It is
essential that the parts installed are a perfect fit for the required application in order to
avoid costly lead times and repairs or possible catastrophic damages.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. a. Award a contract to Argo Turboserve Corporation, Rutherford, New Jersey
in the amount of $1,055,667.00 plus non-taxable freight in the amount of
$9,550.00 for a total award amount of $1,065,217.00. Applicable sales
taxes will be paid directly to the State of Iowa by the City as the vendor is
not licensed to collect and remit Iowa Sales Taxes.
b. Award a contract to Mechanical Dynamics & Analysis LLC (MD & A), Clifton
Park, New York in the amount of $133,421.00 plus Iowa sales taxes in the
amount of $9,339.47 and non-taxable freight in the amount of $2,200.00 for
a total award amount of $144,960.47.
c. Award a contract to Alin Machining Company, Inc. (Power Plant Services),
Melrose Park, Illinois in the amount of $91,717.000 plus Iowa sales taxes in
the amount of $6,420.19 and non-taxable freight in the amount of $1,500.00
for a total award amount of $99,637.19.
d. Award a contract to Action Turbine Repair Service, Inc. (ATRS), Summit,
Illinois in the amount of $38,670.00 plus non-taxable freight in the amount
of $490.00 for a total award amount of $39,160.00. Applicable sales taxes
will be paid directly to the State of Iowa by the City as the vendor is not
licensed to collect and remit Iowa Sales Taxes.
2. Reject all bids and delay purchase of steam turbine parts.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
These parts that are being solicited will most likely be needed for the Power Plant’s Unit
8 Turbine-Generator Overhaul project. If not used, they will be placed in inventory.
Securing these parts before opening the turbine and generator greatly reduces the
possibility of waiting on a needed, long lead time part, causing significant delays and
quickly driving costs up.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1 as stated above.

COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: RITTS LAW GROUP -- CHANGE ORDER No. 14
BACKGROUND:
In September 2009 the Ames City Council approved an engagement and retainer
agreement with the The Ritts Law Group, PLLC (Ritts) of Alexandria, Virginia (now
Sanibel, Florida), for legal counsel and related consulting services necessary for the City’s
Steam Electric Plant and Combustion Turbine Station to comply with federal and state
environmental laws and regulations.
For the initial agreement, Council authorized expenditure of an amount not to exceed
$100,000. During the initial twelve months, The Ritts Law Group worked closely with City
staff to evaluate projects and their regulatory compliance implications scheduled for the
Steam Electric Plant and the Combustion Turbine Station. In the ensuing years, Ritts
provided counsel and support on numerous and varied environmental legal and regulatory
compliance matters including:
• The City’s request to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (Iowa DNR) for a
Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) non-applicability determination.
• Engineering and legal analyses necessary to amend the Steam Electric Plant’s air
permits as required by the Iowa DNR.
• Legal and technical assistance to City staff in obtaining a determination that the City’s
Water Pollution Control Facility and the Steam Electric Plant do not comprise a single
stationary source for air emissions.
• Legal counsel regarding the U.S. Court of Appeals decision regarding the
Environmental Protection Agency’s Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR).
• Iowa DNR construction permit preparation work, specialized environmental legal
support and extensive environmental analysis needed for the Steam Electric Plant’s
coal-to-natural gas conversion.
2
Since the initial engagement in 2009 with The Ritts Law Group, the City has expended a
total of $958,607.75 with this firm. The initial engagement purchase order and the
subsequent change order history to date is summarized as follows:
Change Order No. 13
Additional funding authorization is now needed for the City to continue to receive legal
counsel and related consulting services regarding existing Clean Air Act and other
existing and proposed regulations that currently or could affect the City’s electric utility.
This includes the following:
• A construction permit is needed for the Steam Electric Plant -- for the repair of the
boiler tubes in Unit 8. The work required to obtain this construction permit is
extensive due to the required analysis of “New Source Review” (NSR) and
“Prevention of Significant Deterioration” (PSD) implications of federal and state
regulations requiring the interpretation of a large amount of regulatory code, agency
guidance documents, and court decisions.
• Once the boiler tube repair projects have been completed on Unit 7 and 8 boilers, the
Title V Operating Permit for the Steam Electric Plant must be amended to reflect the
effects of the construction permits upon the Title V Operating Permit.
• Work is needed to “reopen” the Title V Operating Permit for the Combustion Turbine
Station (GT1 and GT2) in order to amend several conditions/requirements in the
permit. In order to “reopen” the Title V Operating Permit to amend it, we first must
prepare and submit an application for a construction permit with Iowa DNR.
• Legal counsel is needed pertaining to complying with the Coal Combustion Residuals
(CCR) standard, which regulates coal ash materials in surface impoundments and
3
landfills. This legal counsel pertains primarily to the regulatory language, which is
incredibly complicated, but also to actions taken by the courts and by Congress.
• Periodic interpretations of regulatory language and rules are needed pertaining to the
definition and use of municipal solid waste (MSW) and refuse derived fuel (RDF) as
fuel in the Power Plant.
• The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has recently informed the City that they
need to determine whether or not the City’s new Water Treatment Plant and the Steam
Electric Plant should be considered as a single air emissions source. The City strongly
believes that the two plants should not be considered a single emissions source and
recent EPA guidance documents and determinations support that conclusion.
However, an extensive legal argument needs to be made by the City to convince Iowa
DNR of that conclusion.
• Advice and legal counsel is needed regarding environmental rules that impact the
City’s power generation facilities, as proposed and final rules regularly emerge from
EPA and Iowa DNR.
Therefore, Ames City Council authorization is requested to extend the engagement
with The Ritts Law Group, PLLC for the change order amount of $75,000. Funding
is available in the approved FY 2020-21 Electric Services operating budget for
outside legal services to cover this change order.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve contract Change Order No. 14 in the amount of $75,000 to the The Ritts
Law Group, PLLC of Sanibel, Florida, for specialized legal counsel and extensive
environmental analyses necessary for compliance with U.S. EPA and Iowa DNR
environmental laws and regulations.
2. Reject contract Change Order No. 14 and ask staff to solicit legal advice from another
outside firm.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
As the EPA and Iowa DNR continues to issue and enforce environmental rules, it is critical
to the operation of the City’s electric generation facilities that the City understands and
complies with these rules. At the same time, if a rule appears to be unclear or its
implementation could severely impact the utility operation, the City may wish to legally
4
challenge the federal or state regulation. This can only be accomplished with the
assistance from highly specialized legal counsel.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1 as stated above.

COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: COMPLETION OF CONTRACT FOR THE AMES/ISU ICE ARENA
PARKING LOT RENOVATION PROJECT
BACKGROUND:
This project included renovating the asphalt parking lot at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena by
repairing portions of the subbase, curb repair, removal of the top two inches of asphalt
and installation of two inches of asphalt. Also included in the renovation was a portion of
the entry drive that was removed and replaced. Manatts, Inc., Ames, Iowa was awarded
the contract on April 14, 2020 in the amount of $65,878.
After completion of the subbase repair, it was determined that the overall quantity of
repairs completed was less than originally quoted. Staff reviewed the completed work and
determined that no additional subbase repair was necessary. Manatts, Inc., reduced the
overall cost of the project by $4,859.50 to $61,018.50. Manatts, Inc., completed their
portion of the project on May 18.
The total cost of the project was $61,018.50, while the amount budgeted was $85,000.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council can:
a. Adopt a resolution approving Change Order #1 in the amount of ($4,859.50)
to Manatts, Inc., Ames, Iowa for the Ames/ISU Ice Arena Parking Lot
Renovation Project; and
b. Adopt a resolution accepting completion of the contract for the Ames/ISU
Ice Arena Parking Lot Renovation Project with Manatts, Inc, Ames, Iowa in
the amount of $61,018.50.
2. The City Council can decide not to accept the completion of the Ames/ISU Ice
Arena Parking Lot Renovations Project in the amount of $61,018.50.
CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The Ames/ISU Ice Arena will be 20 years old in 2021 and is jointly owned by the City of
Ames and ISU, located on ISU property, and managed by the City. The facility is very well
known throughout Iowa as one of the nicest arenas because of how well it is taken care
of. The parking lot is one of the first items patrons see when approaching the arena and
it is imperative that it is safe and in excellent condition.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt

Subject:
At the June 24, 2020 Council meeting, the Council approved a motion asking for
a memo on what the City can and cannot do legally regarding COVID-19
mitigation, keeping in mind the Story County Department of Public Health’s recent
statement on COVID-19.
This memo is separated into three sections: 1) Face coverings, 2) Bars, and 3)
Other.
FACE COVERINGS:
There has been an ongoing question of whether a Mayor or a City Council has
the authority to issue a mandatory face covering order or ordinance for residents
out and about in the community. Public attention has increased on this issue after
the mayor of the City of Muscatine, Iowa issued an emergency proclamation
requiring most people in the city to wear face coverings when out in public.
In March 2020, when many were calling upon Governor Reynolds to issue a
“shelter in place” or “stay at home” order, several cities in Iowa were considering
having their mayors’ issue such an order. Some municipal attorneys believed
that mayors had such authority, many others (including yours truly) questioned
whether mayors had such authority, and some thought they did not.
On March 9, 2020, the Governor issued the first of her 17 proclamations declaring
a “Public Health Emergency Disaster.” The first order dealt primarily with
suspension of some regulatory matters due to the pandemic. The Governor
issued her second proclamation March 17, 2020 – in this proclamation, the
Governor closed bars and restaurants and many other types of businesses, and
also prohibited mass gatherings of more than 10 people. The cities that were
considering issuing local shelter-in-place orders apparently decided not to since
the Governor was taking some type of action.
On March 24, 2020, the Iowa Attorney General’s office issued an “informal
opinion” in which it concluded that cities and counties did not have the authority
to issue public-health-related orders, such as “shelter in place” orders, because
that authority belonged to the Governor and the Iowa Department of Public
Health. While the Attorney General’s office concluded that the Governor could
delegate such authority to local governments, she has not done so. An informal
opinion is a quicker opinion than a formal opinion, which is extensively researched
and published for future reference. Just for clarification, an Attorney General’s
opinion is considered persuasive, but not authoritative like a court decision would
be; those opinions are the legal analysis of the Attorney General’s office, and they
are given great weight by government officials. Certainly, it’s possible that the
Attorney General could be wrong in any given analysis, but it is not likely since
the Attorney General’s Office is regarded as the expert on interpreting Iowa law,
especially regarding issues of governmental authority. It is important to note,
however, that the Attorney General’s opinions with the current public-health-
related issues is lacking an analysis of Home Rule authority.
Here’s the conclusion of the Attorney General’s first informal opinion:
“Conclusion: While cities and counties have police powers to
protect the health and safety of their citizens, the State has the authority
to declare and coordinate the response to a public health disaster. This
includes the power of the Governor to sub-delegate administrative
authority to cities and counties, including the power to restrict movement
within communities by these local authorities. This power also would
allow the Governor discretion to retain such powers and not delegate this
authority to cities or counties.”
The same analysis would apply to local ordinances requiring the wearing of face
coverings. The Governor and IDPH would have such authority, but local
governments do not. The Governor may delegate such authority to local
governments, but she has not done so. In discussions with other city attorneys
in Iowa, there is general agreement that cities lack the authority given the Attorney
General’s opinion.
On June 23, 2020, the Iowa Attorney General’s office issued a second
informal opinion, in the form of a response to an inquiry state senator from Iowa
City, specifically about “requiring patrons of businesses to wear face
coverings.” This second opinion also states that the Governor’s
proclamations preempt local governments from acting independently of the
Governor’s proclamation, and indicates that in the absence of Governor’s
proclamation, it appears that Iowa law grants such authority to the county
boards of health: “Finally, local regulation of this nature, if not preempted under
the current Emergency Disaster Proclamations, would likely be under the
jurisdiction of local boards of health under their power under Iowa Code
Section137.104(1)(b) (enclosed) to, “make and enforce such reasonable rules
and regulations, not inconsistent with law and the rules of the state board, as may
be necessary for the protection and improvement of the public health.”
On Sunday, July 5, 2020, the Mayor of Muscatine, Iowa issued an emergency
proclamation, effective July 6, that requires most people in that city to wear face
coverings while in indoor or outdoor public spaces, with some exceptions. In
media reports, the Mayor said that she checked with her city attorney (from a Des
Moines law firm), who had given approval to the proclamation. On Monday, July
6, the interim Muscatine County Attorney issued a press release stating that he
believed the Muscatine Mayor had overstepped her authority and that therefore
his office would not prosecute people charged with municipal infractions for not
wearing a face covering.
Iowa cities have Home Rule Authority 1. Also, the mayor has emergency powers
under Iowa Code section 372.14(2): “The mayor may take command of the police
1 Iowa Constitution, Article III, Section 38A. “Municipal home rule. Municipal corporations are
granted home rule power and authority, not inconsistent with the laws of the general
assembly, to determine their local affairs and government, except that they shall not have
power to levy any tax unless expressly authorized by the general assembly. The rule or
proposition of law that a municipal corporation possesses and can exercise only those powers
and govern the city by proclamation, upon making a determination that a time of
emergency or public danger exists. Within the city limits, the mayor has all the
powers conferred upon the sheriff to suppress disorders.”2 These are the two
provisions of Iowa law that the Muscatine mayor relied upon.
I wish the Attorney General’s informal opinions had analyzed Home Rule
authority, but they did not directly do so. Generally, under Home Rule authority,
a city may enact a law or policy as long as it does not conflict with state law. “An
exercise of a city power is not inconsistent with a state law unless it is
irreconcilable with state law” which means when the city ordinance “prohibits an
act permitted by statute or permits an act prohibited by statute.”3
The Attorney General’s second opinion indicates that any regulation by local
governments on the matters of wearing Personal Protective Equipment conflict
with the Governor’s proclamations, and the Governor’s and the IDPH’s authority
to issue public health proclamations. There is a reasonable argument that
requiring people, when in public spaces and businesses, to wear face coverings
adds to the Governor’s proclamation, but does not conflict with it.
granted in express words is not a part of the law of this state.” See also: Iowa Code section
364.1: “A city may, except as expressly limited by the Constitution of the State of Iowa, and if
not inconsistent with the laws of the general assembly, exercise any power and perform any
function it deems appropriate to protect and preserve the…health…of its residents.”
2 There is no case law defining the extent of the mayor’s emergency authority under this Iowa
Code section, and there does not appear to be a clear definition in the Iowa Code of what a
sheriff’s authority is, other than broad law enforcement authority. So, it is unclear exactly
what powers a mayor has if he or she issues an emergency proclamation, other than assuming
control of the police department to “suppress disorders.” It is uncertain if that would include
public-health-related orders, but I think that would be extending the statute beyond its plain
meaning.
3 Baker v. City of Iowa City, 750 N.W. 2d 93, 99-100 (Iowa 2008). See also: BeeRite Tire
Disposal/Recycling v. City of Rhodes, 646 N.W. 2d 857, 859 (Iowa App. 2002). See also: Iowa
Code section 364.2(3): “An exercise of a city power is not inconsistent with a state law unless it
is irreconcilable with the state law.”
The Governor’s emergency powers stem from Chapter 29C (“Emergency
Management”) of the Code of Iowa.4 This is a statute giving the Governor an
incredible amount of authority – including the authority to suspend any statute or
regulatory provision of Iowa law. It also includes this sentence, in section 29C.6
(8): “Delegate any administrative authority vested in the governor under this
chapter and provide for the sub delegation of any such authority.” The powers of
the Governor when a disaster proclamation has been issued are so far-reaching,
I can understand why the Attorney General felt that the Governor has exclusive
control over anything issued in her proclamations. In the Iowa Department of
Public Health (IDPH) chapter of the Iowa Code, section 135.144 addresses public
health disasters. It says that the IDPH in conjunction with the Governor, may
engage in actions to address a public health emergency, including at subsection
(3): “Take reasonable measures as necessary to prevent the transmission of
infectious disease and to ensure that all cases of communicable disease are
properly identified, controlled, and treated.” The Iowa Code’s grant of authority to
IDPH and the Governor is extensive and detailed, and it is not unreasonable to
conclude it is also exclusive, although that is not explicitly stated. Given that Iowa
Code section 29C.6(8) allows the Governor to delegate her emergency authority
it is reasonable to conclude that her authority is exclusive. The Governor has not
delegated any of her emergency authority to local governments, and she recently
indicated she might be open to doing so.
All said, the Attorney General has twice issued informal opinions that local
governments do not have the authority to issue public-health requirements
beyond the Governor’s proclamations. Although there is perhaps a defensible
argument that local governments may act through Home Rule authority, my
advice is that the when the Governor has invoked her emergency authority,
a city does not have the legal authority to require persons to wear face
coverings while out in public places and businesses. I advise that the City
Council follow the Attorney General’s opinions.
I do note, however, that the City retains control over its own property and
buildings. The City may lawfully require persons entering City buildings to wear

refers to Chapter 28C, when it is actually 29C.
face coverings, if the Council chooses to require that (just like businesses may
choose to require their customers to wear face coverings).
BARS:
From reports that we have heard regarding bars in Ames, it appears that there
are some bars that are not following the social distancing requirements of the
Governor’s proclamations. Keep in mind that the wording of the Governor’s
proclamation allows bars to be open only if they abide by the social distancing
rules set out. If they are not following the social distancing requirements, the bars
cannot lawfully remain open. It then becomes a matter of how the City will
enforce the social distancing guidelines in the Governor’s proclamations.
Under the Governor’s most recent proclamation, I think the City can just order the
bar to shut down for a brief period of time if we discover they are not requiring
social distancing. From the Governor’s most recent proclamation:
SECTION Two. Pursuant to Iowa Code § 135.144 (3), and in conjunction
with the Iowa Department of Public Health, unless otherwise modified by
subsequent proclamation or order of the Iowa Department of Public
Health, I hereby order that effective at 12:01 a.m. on June 26, 2020 and
until 11:59 p.m. on July 25, 2020:
A. Restaurants and bars: A restaurant or bar, including a wedding
reception venue, winery, brewery, distillery, country club, or other social
or fraternal club, may reopen or remain open to serve food and beverages
on its premises, but only to the extent that it complies with the following
requirements:
(1) Social distancing: The establishment must ensure at least six feet of
physical distance between each group or individual dining or drinking
alone. Seating at booths closer than six feet may satisfy this requirement
if the booths are separated by a barrier of a sufficient height to fully
separate seated customers. All patrons must have a seat at a table or
bar, and an establishment must limit patrons from congregating together
closer than six feet.
(2) Other social distancing, hygiene, and public health measures: The
restaurant shall also implement reasonable measures under the
circumstances of each restaurant to ensure social distancing of
employees and customers, increased hygiene practices, and other public
health measures to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19
consistent with guidance issued by the Iowa Department of Inspections
and Appeals and the Iowa Department of Public Health.
[Underlining added]
Although there is no longer the “50% of capacity” restriction in the Governor’s
order, the current language is still very restrictive.
A bar may be open but “only to the extent it complies with” social
distancing guidelines, which require:
1. Six feet of physical distance between each group or individual dining
or drinking alone.
2. All patrons must have a seat at a table or bar
3. The establishment must limit patrons from congregating together
closer than six feet.
If the bar isn’t doing these things, they are not allowed to be open under the
Governor’s proclamation. If they are violating the Governor’s proclamation, the
City has the authority to order to cite the owner or manager with a simple
misdemeanor: In her proclamation, the Governor specifically states: “all peace
officers of the state are hereby called upon to assist in the enforcement of the
provisions of this Proclamation.” (Per Iowa Code section 135.35).
Bar owners/managers violating the Governor’s proclamation could be charged
with a simple misdemeanor under this section of the Iowa Code:
135.38 Penalty. Any person who knowingly violates any provision
of this chapter, or of the rules of the department, or any lawful order,
written or oral, of the department or of its officers, or authorized agents,
shall be guilty of a simple misdemeanor.
In addition, the Police Department would have the authority to order the bar to be
closed temporarily (I’d suggest a day) for being open unlawfully.
Another enforcement approach is to work to suspend (or for severe violations,
revoke) the establishment’s liquor licenses/permits for a period of time, or to
impose a civil penalty. The liquor licenses are issued by the Iowa Alcoholic
Beverages Division, with the approval of the “local authority” which would be the
City of Ames.
The Iowa Code, at section 123.39 et seq., states that the local authority may
suspend liquor licenses/permits for a period of not more than one year,
revoke the license or permit, or impose a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000
per violation.
The City Council would have to take action to impose penalties of license/permit
suspension or revocation, or imposing a civil penalty. This would be done at a
Council meeting, and in the interest of due process the bar owner should receive
notice and would have the opportunity to be heard. After the City imposes a
penalty, the bar owner could appeal the Council’s decision to the Alcoholic
Beverages Division.
My recommendation for a course of action would be:
1. The City Attorney sends a letter to all liquor/beer license holders in Ames,
informing/reminding them in detail of the social-distancing restrictions in
the Governor’s proclamation, and informing them that abiding by those
requirements is a condition of remaining open.
2. The warning letter informs the bar owners that the following actions could
take place if they are found to be in violation of the Governor’s
proclamation:
a. The bar owner or manager may be charged with a simple
misdemeanor.
b. The bar may be ordered to close temporarily as it is in violation of
the Governor’s proclamation and not lawfully allowed to operate.
c. The bar’s liquor/beer licenses/permits may be suspended for a
period of up to one year, or revoked, or a civil penalty of up to $1,000
could be assessed.
3. The Police Department will do spot checks to evaluate compliance and
educate or enforce as necessary. In addition to monitoring compliance
and, if necessary, citing bar operators for non-compliance, the Police
Department will report any pattern of violations to the City Council.
OTHER:
On June 25, 2020, the Story County Board of Health issued its “COVID-19
Mitigation Guidance for Story County – Recommendations from the Story County
Board of Health.” [Attached]. These are guidelines, and do not have the force of
law.
The guidelines are recommendations for daycares, schools,
events/gatherings/religious services, sporting events, Iowa State University,
shared or congregate housing facilities, and businesses.
The League of Women Voters of Ames and Story County sent a letter to the
Council “proposing a partnership to promote wearing face coverings inside public
places throughout our community.” As a response to this, the League was invited
to and participated in a Communicators meeting hosted by the City on July 9th.
The purpose of this meeting was to partner with entities in carrying-out a
community-wide message using ISU’s Cyclones Care campaign centering
around wearing face coverings, social distancing, washing hands, and staying
home when sick. There appears to be consensus with using the Cyclones Care
campaign to provide a consistent and unified message throughout the
community. The City Council, however, could choose to participate in another
type of partnership with the League of Women Voters of Ames and Story County
or any other entity that extends an invitation.

Subject: county and city authority
You have asked for analysis on the question of the legal authority of counties and cities
to enact local measures to require citizens of their jurisdictions to shelter in place during
the current health public health disaster emergency. This analysis was drafted by Mike
Bennett in my office with a review by Jeff Thompson, myself, and others. Please let us
know if you have any further questions or research requests in this area.
County and City Home Rules Powers:
Article III, Section 38A and Section 39A contain the City and County Home Rule
provisions in the Iowa Constitution. The powers granted cities and counties under these
constitutional amendments are to determine their local affairs and government, not
inconsistent with the laws of the General Assembly, except that they shall not have
power to levy any tax unless expressly authorized by the general assembly. Counties are
also constrained in their home rule powers if that power conflicts with the power of a
city, providing a city power will prevail within its jurisdiction.
When an ordinance prohibits an act permitted by a statute, or permits an act prohibited
by a statute, the ordinance is considered inconsistent with state law and is
preempted. See City of Des Moines v. Gruen, 457 N.W.2d 340, 342 (Iowa
1990). Implied preemption occurs when the legislature has covered a subject by statutes
in such a manner as to demonstrate a legislative intention that the field shall be
preempted by state law.
The powers exercised by cities under the Home Rule Amendments have been generally
categorized as “police powers”. These include the power of cities and counties to protect
rights, privileges, and property of the city and county and to preserve and improve the
peace, safety, welfare, comfort and convenience of their residents. Iowa Code Section
331.301 (county) and Iowa Code Section 364.1 (City). These powers may be exercised by
cities and counties subject to limitations expressly imposed by a state law, and are
barred if such actions are irreconcilable with state law. Under Iowa Code Sections
331.301 and 364.3, City mayors are further empowered to govern the city by
proclamation during a time of emergency or public danger. Iowa Code Section 372.14.
These authorities generally indicate authority for cities and counties to act to protect the
safety of the residents of their communities yet require cities and counties to yield where
the powers are inconsistent with powers of the state.
State Powers
A public health disaster is defined in Iowa law as a state of disaster emergency
proclaimed by the Governor in consultation with the Department of Public Health for a
disaster that involves an imminent threat of a health condition caused by the
appearance of a novel infectious agent and that poses a high probability of a large
number of serious health consequences. Iowa Code § 135.140(6). During a public health
disaster, the Governor and the Department of Public Health have broad legal authority
to take all reasonable measures necessary to prevent the transmission of the virus and to
prevent, control, and treat the infectious disease. These legal authorities are contained
in part at Iowa Code sections 135.144 and 29C.6. These authorities include the powers
to “control ingress and egress to and from a disaster area, the movement of persons
within the area, and the occupancy of premises in such area.” Iowa Code § 29C.6(15).
Iowa Code Section 29C.6 (8) allows the Governor to delegate and sub-delegate any
administrative authority under the Emergency Management Chapter. This indicates the
Governor may delegate powers under emergency powers under that section to local
authorities to address the current public health emergency, including the power to place
restrictions on movement within the communities. This likewise indicates the
Governor may choose not to delegate this authority to local agencies.
Conclusion: While cities and counties have police powers to protect the health and
safety of their citizens, the State has the authority to declare and coordinate the
response to a public health disaster. This includes the power of the Governor to sub-
delegate administrative authority to cities and counties, including the power to restrict
movement within communities by these local authorities. This power also would allow
the Governor discretion to retain such powers and not delegate this authority to cities or
counties.

Dear Senator Wahls:
You contacted the Iowa Attorney General’s Office regarding the power of cities or counties to
pass local regulations requiring patrons of business to wear masks. A similar question was
answered by this office in a question from city officials in March of this year regarding the
power of local officials to issue shelter in place orders. I have attached a copy of that analysis to
this correspondence for your review.
In this previous analysis, we determined that while the Statewide Disaster Emergency
Proclamations are in place, the Governor retains the power to delegate, sub -delegate, or retain
the administrative authority under Iowa Code Chapter 28C (Emergency Management) to issue
directives of this nature. Please see Iowa Code Section 28C.6(8) (enclosed ). Iowa Code Section
135.144(3) and (9) (enclosed) empowers the Iowa Department of Public Health, in conjunction
with the Governor, to take reasonable measures as necessary to prevent the transmission of
infectious disease, to inform the public when a pub lic health disaster has been declared or
terminated, and to inform the public of the protective measures to take during the disaster.
The Governor has addressed usage of personal protective equipment (PPE) in prior
proclamations, including the proclamations of 5/25/2020 and 6/10/2020, which are still
applicable and which provide that in re-opening of public use facilities and businesses that
proprietors must adhere to hygiene practices and public health measures consistent with guidance
issued by the Iowa Department of Public Health. Any local action or regulation would need to
be consistent and compliant with the Governor’s Proclamations and the Iowa Department of
Public Health Directives in scope and remedies while the Governor’s Emergency Proclamations
are in place.
Finally, local regulation of this nature, if not preempted under the current Emergency Disaster
Proclamations, would likely be under the jurisdiction of local boards of health under their power
under Iowa Code Section137.104(1)(b) (enclose d) to, “make and enforce such reasonable rules
and regulations, not inconsistent with law and the rules of the state board, as may be necessary
for the protection and improvement of the public health.”

COVID‐19 Mitigation Guidance for Story County‐ Recommendations from the Story County Board of
Health
With the current surge of COVID‐19 that the county is experiencing, as well as the anticipation of the
return of university students from all over the country, it is important that everyone in the county
should continue to practice mitigation to prevent the spread of COVID‐19. We recommend the following
based on published standards and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
and the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH), as well as common sense. Detailed guidance from
these entities are available and should be followed; the information below is meant to share minimum
guidelines and emphasize key points important in our community. Anyone reading this will notice the
emphasis on wearing face coverings. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of wearing properly
fitted face coverings, including cloth face coverings and face shields, worn over the nose and mouth
when out in public or around people. Surgical grade masks and N‐95 respirators are also effective but
should be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical first responders. Individuals who should
not wear face coverings include children under the age of two or anyone who has trouble breathing or is
unable to remove the face covering without assistance.
1. Daycare. Face coverings in young children are hard to keep on and not recommended by the CDC for
children under 2 years old. However, face coverings should be worn by all providers of care as well as
staff and others occupying the daycare space such as parents. Hand cleansing stations should be
plentiful and frequently used. Children should be kept in as small of groups as possible and the groups
should not mix at playtime, outings and lunch. Temperature screening of all entering children, staff, and
other individuals with a contactless thermometer is highly recommended. We recommend this guidance
for both institutional and small, in‐home daycares.
2. Pre‐K to 12 schools. When schools resume in the fall we recommend the following minimum
measures. All staff should be required to wear face coverings at all times when they are around students
or other staff. Face coverings should be considered on students as applicable. Social distancing in
classes, minimizing classroom changes, staggered lunches and recesses as well as temperature
screenings should be followed. Hand cleansing should be frequently practiced and encouraged.
3. Events/gatherings and religious services. Social distancing (at least 6 feet—or about 2 arms’ length)
should be practiced. People who have already been in contact with each other and feel comfortable that
they are all practicing social isolation (such as families) can be grouped together. Groups less than ten
are recommended. Face coverings should be required for all present. Hand cleansing stations should be
plentiful and encouraged to be used. We recommend individually, pre‐packaged foods rather than
communal foods. We recommend that the event organizers make sure mitigation measures such as use
of face coverings continue to be practiced after the event if participants continue to congregate in the
area. Contactless temperature screening should be implemented when feasible.
4. Sporting events and athletic teams. While we understand that wearing a face covering during the
strenuous activity of sports may be very difficult, at a minimum, all coaches, officials, support staff,
spectators, and athletes who are not playing should wear a face covering at all times while other people
are present. Sporting events should practice social distancing for spectators as well as athletes when
they are not playing. Screening of athletes and staff daily with a contactless thermometer is indicated.
Group meetings and/or meals should be put on hold at this time and remote meetings should be used.
Exercise sessions, such as weightlifting and/or swimming, should be staggered to allow social distancing.
Restrooms should be monitored to limit crowding. Concession stands should be closed. Hand cleansing
should be frequently practiced and encouraged.
5. Iowa State University. Detailed guidance from Iowa State University is available and should be
followed; to supplement these guidelines and emphasize key points, we recommend the following
minimum measures. Face coverings should be required for all students in classes and when in university
buildings. University sponsored gatherings should be cancelled unless the recommended practices (see
events/gatherings and sporting events above) can be followed. Hand cleansing stations should be
plentiful and encouraged.
Students should be encouraged, in the strongest language the university can legally use, to practice
mitigation principles when off campus and when using mass transit.
Group living situations, such as dormitories and fraternities/sororities are a special and difficult
situation. However, certain practices can be used to mitigate risks. Face coverings should be worn at all
times except when in sleeping chambers with roommates. Dining should be staggered to allow social
distancing. Hand cleansing should be encouraged. Social events should be cancelled unless the principles
outlined in events/gatherings and/or sporting events, as applicable, can be followed. All group living
situations need to develop a plan of how to isolate a resident who is found to be COVID‐19 infected.
We strongly recommend that Iowa State University prohibit spectators at sporting events this fall.
Please only broadcast them. We cannot think of any way these events can be made even remotely safe
with the masses of people from throughout Iowa, and other states, who routinely attend these events.
Please do it for the health of our community.
6. Shared or congregate housing facilities. These facilities should continue to follow published CDC
guidelines.
7. Businesses. Businesses should require their staff to wear face coverings, and practice social distancing
when possible. We also strongly encourage businesses to require that customers wear face coverings.
Sick employees should be allowed to stay home.
With the current rise in cases in Story County, we strongly recommend these guidelines are followed.
We fully understand that what we are proposing is difficult and also that no mitigation plan is foolproof.
However, if these principles are followed we can get and keep this virus under control until the
availability of a vaccine. As a County Board of Health, our duties include the protection of public health
of the residents of Story County; thus, our recommendations are made in light of what is best for the
public’s health, and we stand by our recommendations.
Dear Representative Martin,
The League of Women Voters of Ames and Story County (LWV-ASC) is proposing a partnership to
promote wearing masks inside public places throughout our community. Initially we are contacting the
Ames Chamber of Commerce, Ames City Council, the office of the Mayor, Iowa State University, and
Mary Greeley Medical Center to join with us in our campaign. The importance of masks in decreasing
the spread of Covid is well documented. We believe our community will respond positively to the
message that wearing a mask protects your friends, neighbors, and the healthcare workers in our
community. Wearing masks is a critical part of keeping both workers and business patrons healthy, so
that businesses can reopen more safely and can stay opened. Presenting a public and consistent
message from the leaders in our community will demonstrate clearly that Ames is working to promote
the health and well-being of all our community members.
By joining in our collaborative we may ask for your cooperation and collaboration in writing and signing
joint letters to the editor or op eds; distributing emails to your mailing lists, and actively promoting the
wearing of a mask within your headquarters or public spaces. Moreover, we would like to add your
support to our efforts to encourage ALL businesses in our community to require customers or others
(excepting those with medical reasons or very young children) entering their establishment to wear a
mask. All members of the alliance must be ready to actively enforce the wearing of masks by
distributing or selling a mask (at a minimal charge) to those visiting your premises who do not have one.
Together we can help Story County to decrease the incidence of Covid-19 and promote the health and
safety of those who live in our community. Please respond to this message by sending a note to
Prez.LWV@gmail.com to let us know of your interest. Please provide a contact person and contact
information for this endeavor. We will be in touch shortly to discuss details.
Sincerely,
Linda Serra Hagedorn, Ph.D. President

ITEM # _29 ___
DATE: 07-14-20
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: MOTION DIRECTING STAFF TEMPORARILY NOT TO ENFORCE
BUILDING AND ZONING CODES TO FACILITATE COVID-19
TESTING AT MCFARLAND CLINIC NORTH – 3815 STANGE ROAD
BACKGROUND:
The ever growing need to test their patients who are showing signs of the COVID-19
symptoms and have been pre-screened by their doctors, has resulted in McFarland
Clinic officials to pursue increased virus testing capabilities. They have concluded that
the most efficient strategy for accommodating this task is to establish a drive-through
testing center by utilizing the parking lot at their north location and bringing in a 160 foot
prefabricated shed to house their employees who will perform and analyze the tests.
While the City staff would like to facilitate this important function, the location, size, use,
and design of the proposed structure does not adhere to various requirements of the
City‘s Zoning and Building Codes and, therefore, cannot be approved administratively.
Some of the code issues that would prevent this proposed testing plan include:
Zoning Ordinance
The proposed drive through testing shed will be located at 3815 Stange Rd, which is in
a Convenience General Service (CGS) zoning district. There are no regulations within
the CGS Zoning District that exempt accessory buildings from any of the regulations.
It appears from the attached Site Development Plan that the proposed shed would not
be in compliance with the following zoning requirements:
• Drive Through Facility must be a minimum of 80 feet away from any residentially
zoned lot. (29.810(3)
• Building materials shall be high quality and highly durable: for more than 50% of
the total exterior wall area the surface material shall be stone, brick and/or pre-
cast panels with the appearance to the pedestrian of stone or brick.
(29.810(4)(c))
• Prohibited materials are prefabricated panels of metal, fiberglass, or smooth
surface textures. (29.810(4)(c)(ii)
• Color of all exterior building materials shall be similar to the color of exterior
building materials common (29.810(4)(C)(4)
• The front of the shed and porch must face the parking lot. The façade facing the
parking lot shall have windows, doors, awnings, etc that make up no less than 40
% of the façade. Windows can only count toward the 40% when they are no
more than four feet above the finish floor elevation and allow for views into the
interior space or be a display window. (29.810(4)(d))
• Roof must be similar to nearby single-family residential dwellings, shall have a
pitch equal to or steeper than 6:12. (29.810(4)(e))
• If there is exterior lighting it must comply with the outdoor lighting code. Bare
lamps, strip style lighting, pole mounted lights exceeding 15 feet in height, and
general floodlighting of buildings are all prohibited. (29.810(9)
• Incidental signage (not wall mounted or monument) must be non-illuminated. Any
one incidental sign cannot exceed 6 square feet, with a maximum cumulative
area of all incidental sign of 32 square feet. (29.810(12)(d)
Building Codes
The proposed use of the shed as described for the testing operations would not be in
compliance with the following building code requirements:
• The shed would require an accessible route and entrance to the employee work
area.
• One toilet and one sink would be required in the shed.
• The shed would need to have a one-hour fire rating.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) The City Council can direct staff to temporally not enforce the building and zoning
code sections that would allow McFarland Clinic to utilize a prefabricated shed to
be brought into the site and a concrete slab to be poured to facilitate the
operation of a drive-through testing site at the McFarland Clinic North site located
on Stange Road.
If this alternative is supported by the City Council, it is critical that an end
date for this “temporary” halt in code enforcement be included in the
motion along with a clearly stated condition that the shed/slab will have to
be removed no later than the end date, unless the staff determines at that
time they meet all of the existing city codes. Staff would recommend an
end date of December 31, 2020 be established. McFarland Clinic, of course,
could approach the Council at that time to request a time extension should
the situation require it.
3
2) The City Council can decline to direct the City staff to not enforce the relevant
Building and Zoning Codes related to the use of a shed for testing purposes at
the McFarland Clinic North site.
This alternative would require that as a condition of approval, all City codes must
be adhered to before the shed could be used for this testing purpose at the
proposed site. At this time it is not certain whether or not all of these
conditions can be satisfied at this location. Therefore, another site or
testing strategy might have to be pursued by the Clinic.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is not often that the staff can support not enforcing the code requirements approved
by the City Council. However, we are experiencing a health crisis in the country that
requires us to be flexible in order to assure the health and safety of our citizens.
Because of the temporary nature of the request and the fact that COVID-19 testing,
even though it will be provided only to McFarland patients, will facilitate our efforts to
mitigate the spread of the virus, this unusual request can be supported.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve
Alternative #1 and direct staff to temporally not enforce the building and zoning code
sections in order to allow McFarland Clinic to utilize a prefabricated shed to be brought
into the site and a concrete slab to be poured to facilitate the operation of a drive-
through testing site at the McFarland Clinic North location. However, this
recommendation is conditioned on the fact that direction to not enforce these codes will
cease on December 31, 2020 and that the Clinic will remove the shed and slab
immediately after this date, unless the City staff determines that they meet all of the
existing city codes.

DATE: 07-14-20
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: NUISANCE ASSESSMENTS - SNOW/ICE REMOVAL
BACKGROUND:
After a snowfall, abutting property owners have the responsibility of removing snow and
ice accumulations from the sidewalks. According to the Municipal Code, owners shall
remove these accumulations within 10 daylight hours after the storm has stopped. If,
after that time, sidewalks remain uncleared, the City may remove accumulations and
assess the actual cost of the removal to the property owner. This action is performed on
a complaint basis. Once a complaint has been received, notice is given to the abutting
property owner that the City will clear the sidewalks if the owner has not done so within 24
hours of that notice.
City staff has removed snow and/or ice at the properties listed below. Also included in
the list are the names and addresses of the property owners and the costs associated with
the snow/ice removal. The work was completed, and bills have been mailed to these
individuals. To date, the bills have not been paid. A certified notice of this hearing was
mailed to the property owners.

manner as property taxes as provided for by the Code of Iowa.
2. The City Council can choose not to certify these costs to the County Treasurer and,
instead, absorb the costs.
MANAGER’S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
These property owners failed to clear their sidewalks even after receiving notice to do so
and have neglected to pay the costs incurred by the City in making their sidewalks safe
for public use.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1, thereby assessing the costs of the snow/ice removal to the property
owners shown above.
