Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS) for the 2019/20 Stormwater Erosion Control Program
(Ioway Creek- Brookside Water Quality Project); and,
WHEREAS, City Council approved the original agreement on April 12, 2022, with a
completion date of December 31, 2023, and a one year extension was granted to December 24,
2024. With delays in easement acquisition and permitting, a request for a second extension to

overall project that will treat storm water runoff from the existing storm sewers. This runoff

conditions from the existing neighborhood runoff on the east side of creek; and,
WHEREAS, construction is anticipated to commence in spring 2025 with anticipated
completion in early 2026.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,

Project is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 10th day of December, 2024.
