RESOLUTION APPROVING ELECTRIC UTILITY EASEMENT
AT US HIGHWAY 30 & STATE AVENUE
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, the City's Electric Utility maintains an electric distribution line on the
north side of U.S. Highway 30, east of State Avenue. The electric line changes direction
at this location, which necessitates the use of supporting guy wires. Because this location
is adjacent the highway, the guy wires cross Highway 30 to the south, connecting to a
large support pole, which in turn is supported with several down guys that are anchored
into the ground; and,
WHEREAS, the support pole and down guys on the south side of U.S. Highway
30 are located on Iowa State University (ISU) property. Currently there is no formal
easement granting this existing infrastructure to be on ISU property. The easement
formalizes the right of the City to maintain this infrastructure in the existing location on
ISU property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that the Electric Utility Easement at US Highway 30 & State Avenue is hereby
approved.
ADOPTED THIS 24th day of June, 2025.
