PATIO HOMES WEST PARK DEVELOPMENT: Council Member Hoffman asked for clarification on
whether there will be two or three entrances to the Park. City Manager Steve Schainker advised that
there are two entrances planned.
Nancy Carroll, Parks and Recreation Director, explained that a property owner in this area had requested
that the access pathway planned from Indiana Avenue (west entry) be moved to the northernmost edge
of the City’s land. This property owner thought it would be helpful to have the Homeowner’s
Association be responsible for mowing as much of the City’s parcel as possible. Ms. Carroll also stated
that residents of the area also expressed a desire to have a pedestrian barrier along this same sidewalk
3
on the south side and along the southwest corner of the Park. She advised that the Parks and Recreation
Commission and staff do not support these suggestions. Ms. Carroll said that, although some property
owners support the placement of the concrete path at the northern edge of the City’s land, future
property owners may not, and the City has no concerns with mowing the entire access. Additionally,
Ms. Carroll informed the Council that based on staff’s experience with other park entrances, installing
a permanent barrier to the south and southeast corner of the west park entrance does not warrant the
expenditure of public funds. The City feels that if homeowners are concerned with this issue, they can
obtain a building permit and install a barrier on their own property.
Pat Sauer, 5215 Maryland Street, Ames, stated that she was one of the people who first initiated this
project. She believes that the park will be a nice addition to the west side of Ames.

GENERAL OBLIGATION CORPORATE PURPOSE BONDS, SERIES 2003: David Dirks, Senior
Managing Consultant with the Public Financial Management, Inc. (PFM), applauded the City for
retaining its AAA credit rating from Moody’s. Mr. Dirks advised that the City received ten bids for
these bonds with the successful bidder being Harris Trust & Savings Bank.
Mr. Dirks explained that the PFM Group is recommending that the City use the Parity Electronic
Bidding System as one element of the process for receiving bids on its competitively sold bond issues
in the future. He said that under the current non-electronic bid submission, underwriting syndicates
transmit or deliver their bids in written form, either by personal delivery, fax, or via telephone
transmission. Bids are manually recorded and placed in envelopes, which are then sealed and presented
to the governing body. Under this system, several opportunities for delay, blocked transmission due to
busy signals, and human error exist throughout the process. Under the Parity system, bidding
underwriters calculate their bid and submit it over private leased lines. When the bid deadline is reached,
the issuer and the financial advisor can immediately view the submitted bids using an internet-based
Parity interface on a computer at the office of the issuer. Mr. Dirks advised that if the City wishes to
pursue using the Parity Electronic Bidding System, the issue should be placed on a future agenda.
Moved by Goodhue, seconded by Wirth, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 03-323 awarding $6,555,000
General Obligation Corporate Purpose Bonds, Series 2003, to Harris Trust & Savings Bank and to defer
