RESOLUTION APPROVING WAIVER OF FEES FOR BLANKET VENDOR PERMIT
FOR AMES SUMMERTIME SERIES - CAMPUSTOWN
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, Ames Main Street (AMS) plans to host the Ames Summertime Series -
Campustown on Thursday, June 18, 2025. The City Council may remember that a similar event
was held as a part of the Ames After Sundown event series last year, with food truck showdowns
in different community districts around Ames. The City Council approved the event and waiver of
fees at that time. This year's proposed activities include a beer garden and live music in
Campustown Lot Z. The events are free to attend, and organizers expect up to 225 people to attend;
and,
WHEREAS, the Wednesday night activities will include food truck vendors and event
organizers have requested waiver of fees for Blanket Vendor Permit (Loss of $50 to the City
Clerk's Office); and,
WHEREAS, AMS Ames Summertime Series - Campustown provides an opportunity to
attract visitors to Campustown. The events include family friendly activities and opportunities that
support local businesses. Given the small dollar amount and number of parking spaces inv olved,
staff believes it is reasonable to waive the parking fees for this event, along with the other requested
fee waivers. The event organizers and City staff identified Campustown Lot Z as the best location
for the event this year due to planned construction in the Campustown District.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that waiver of fee for Blanket Vendor Permit for Ames Summertime Series - Campustown is
hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 11th day of March, 2025.
