RESOLUTION SETTING DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER
30-YEAR LEASE AGREEMENT WITH AMES YOUTH SPORTS COMPLEX
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, in 1994, the City leased a property west of the South Skunk River and south
of U.S. Highway 30 to Ames Youth Sports Complex, Inc. (AYSC), which represents several
separate non-profit youth sports groups. The property was then developed into the Hunziker Youth
Sports Complex. The property is furnished to AYSC in consideration of the organization providing
a youth sports program for the community; and,
WHEREAS, a separate lease was entered into in May 2002 on the same terms as the
original lease, but for an adjacent portion of the City property. This created the area that is today
occupied by the complex; and,
WHEREAS, both leases expire on February 28, 2025, and new terms must be established;
and,
WHEREAS, the City Attorney's Office has prepared a single lease that would replace the
two separate leases that currently exist. The new lease would extend from March 1, 2025 through
February 28, 2055; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed lease provides the property to Ames Youth Sports Complex,
Inc. with updates the lease to reflect the current condition of the property, and includes several
clarifications for the future.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that setting date of public hearing for March 11, 2025, to consider 30-year lease agreement with
Ames Youth Sports Complex for City property located south of U.S. Highway 30 and west of the
South Skunk River is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 25th day of February, 2025.
