AND PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION AND AMES CITY COUNCIL AND
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION AND OF THE REGULAR MEETING
OF THE AMES CITY COUNCIL
AMES, IOWA AUGUST 14, 2001
JOINT MEETING BETWEEN CITY COUNCIL AND PARKS & RECREATION
COMMISSION
The Ames City Council met in joint session with the Parks & Recreation Commission at 6:00 p.m.
on the 14th day of August, 2001, in the City Council Chambers in City Hall, 515 Clark Avenue,
pursuant to law with Mayor Ted Tedesco presiding. The following Council members were present:
Campbell, R. Cross, Goodhue, Hoffman, Quirmbach, and Wirth. Present from the Commission were:
Chairperson B. Cross, Emmerson, Hamilton, Peterson, and Walsh. Absent were Glotfelty and
Johnson.
UPDATE ON STATUS OF VISION IOWA PROPOSAL: City Manager Steve Schainker
explained that staff from the City and Iowa State University (ISU) met with the Vision Iowa
Board to present their “Connect Iowa” proposal for a $22 million grant. He summarized the
questions/concerns that the Board had about the proposal. Mr. Schainker advised that the Board
shifted the City/ISU proposal from the Vision Iowa program to the Community Attraction &
Tourism (CAT) program; the CAT program is budgeted at $12.8 million annually for each of the
next three years as opposed to the Vision Iowa program at $180 million for a one-time granting
period. It is the prediction of Mr. Schainker that the City will not be offered more than $6 million
for all three components of our proposal (Hallett’s Open Space Project/Reiman Gardens/Wellness
& Aquatics Complex), and he feels that it is crucial that the components be prioritized so as to
make the best use of the limited funding that could be offered.
PRIORITIZATION OF PROJECTS: Mr. Schainker pointed out that the Reiman Gardens and
Hallett’s components appear to have similar appeal in terms of a regional draw for tourism and
educational benefits for the state. Mr. Schainker reminded the Council that a bond referendum
would also need to be scheduled for the November election, with a two-month public education
process prior to that date.
Mr. Schainker said that City staff is recommending that the Hallett’s Open Space Project/Reiman
Gardens Conservatory Complex receive first priority and the Wellness/Aquatics Complex second.
He pointed out that this priorization does not signal a lack of support for the Wellness/Aquatics
Complex and suggested that the Council and Parks & Recreation Commission meet again on
August 21 to consider a new strategy for the Wellness/Aquatics project.
Council Member Quirmbach expressed his desire to make the Hallett’s Open Space project the
first priority; Reiman Gardens, second; and the Aquatics/Wellness Complex, third. Mr.
Quirmbach also pointed out that Iowa State University has access to other sources of state
funding; however, this may be the only chance that the City has to receive state funding for
Hallett’s.
2
Council Member Hoffman wanted to clarify that the City of Ames is not helping to fund Reiman
Gardens. Mr. Schainker pointed out that Iowa State’s part of the local match for the Reiman
Gardens project would come from private donations.
Moved by Commission Member Walsh, seconded by Commission Member Peterson, to prioritize
the components of the grant proposal as follows: Hallett’s Open Space Project/Reiman Gardens
Conservatory Complex as the No. 1 priority and Aquatics/Wellness Complex as the second
priority.
Vote on Motion: 5-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
Moved by Cross, seconded by Goodhue, to accept the recommendation of the Parks & Recreation
Commission for prioritization of the projects and direct staff to communicate, to the Vision Iowa
Board, the purchase option deadlines associated with the Hallett’s project.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
Moved by Quirmbach, seconded by Wirth, to schedule a joint meeting between the City Council
and the Parks & Recreation Commission for August 21, 2001, at 7 PM.

The Ames City Council met in joint session with the Planning & Zoning Commission at 6:44 p.m.
on the 14th day of August, 2001, in the City Council Chambers in City Hall, 515 Clark Avenue,

Schafer. In the absence of Commission Chairperson Buck, Mayor Tedesco appointed Sevde to act
as Temporary Chairperson.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF SUB-AREA PLANNING FOR URBAN CORE AREA
SOUTH OF LINCOLN WAY: Jeff Benson, City Planner, reviewed the goals of sub-area planning
for the Urban Core Area south of Lincoln Way that have been developed based on input from
public meetings as well as the goals and policies of the Land Use Policy Plan. Mr. Benson
said that the goals and objectives would serve to give direction to the staff advisory
committee and staff in preparing draft plan documents that meet the specific needs of the
sub-area. The four goals, each with a series of objectives and related issues, are: (1)
Encourage a sense of place and connectivity, physically and psychologically, within the sub-
area and within the larger community. (2) Continue to develop this area as one of the most
mixed-use areas of Ames through intensification, expansion, and diversification of uses; at
the same time, limit the occurrence and impact of conflicts and challenges sometimes
associated with integrating a variety of land uses within a
compact area. (3) Help the community to increase its supply of housing and provide a wider range
of housing. (4) Provide clear, simple, and effective strategies for implementation.
3
Planning and Housing Director Brian O’Connell advised that if there appears to be a lack of
support for any of these goals in the future, it is possible that they may have to be revisited; if so,
they will be brought back to the Commission and the Council.
Moved by Commission Member Carter, seconded by Commission Member Keeney, to approve
the goals and objectives of sub-area planning for the Urban Core Area south of Lincoln Way.
Vote on Motion: 4-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.

tonight is to bring the Council’s attention to the importance of preserving neighborhoods. Mr.
Holland explained that the Allenview Neighborhood Association members suggested that a traffic
6
study should be implemented to review conditions and discuss alternative measures to mitigate
through-traffic problems. The Association does not necessarily agree with staff that 20th Street
should not be extended to Stange Road due to the preservation of the prairie and the cost since
there has been no study as to how traffic would impact this area. Mr. Holland urged the City
Council to direct that a consultant study be performed. Council Member Campbell pointed out
