DEPT:AAMPO
SUBJECT:AAMPO EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
TRANSPORTATION POLICY COMMITTEE ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
Since the inception of the AAMPO, the City of Ames Public Works Director has concurrently served as
the MPO Executive Director. After the retirement of former Public Works Director John Joiner, the City
of Ames named Justin Clausen as its Interim Public Works Director. Given Justin's history of
successfully serving on the MPO's Transportation Technical Committee and his status as Interim
Public Works Director, it is recommended to name him as Interim Executive Director of the
MPO until the City of Ames hires a new Public Works Director.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Name Justin Clausen as Interim Executive Director of the AAMPO until the City of Ames hires a
new Public Works Director.
2. Name a different individual as the Executive Director of the AAMPO on either an interim or
permanent basis.
MPO DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
In the past, Justin Clausen successfully served on the MPO's Transportation Technical Committee and
he is now serving as the City of Ames Public Works Director on an interim basis. Therefore, it is the
recommendation of the MPO Executive Director that the Transportation Policy Committee adopt
Alternative No. 1, as noted.
