PRESENTATION BY ERV KLAAS ON FLOOD PLAIN MANAGEMENT: Erv Klaas,
Professor at Iowa State University (ISU) and local expert on watershed management, introduced
his co-presenters, Jim Dinsmore, Professor of Animal Ecology at ISU, and Mimi Wagner,
Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture at ISU. Their presentation was entitled Ames
Watersheds and Floodplains - Past, Present and Future. Mr. Dinsmore gave a history of the
quality and condition of the Skunk River and Squaw Creek. Mr. Klaas informed the Council
about the present conditions, climate changes, weather predictions; gave a summary of ecological
objectives, and explained the recommended short-term and long-term actions that they hoped the
City Council would take. Ms. Wagner talked about the relocation project that she was involved
with in Cherokee, Iowa, after the flooding of the Little Sioux River in 1993.
Mildred Lange, 1518 E. Lincoln Way, Ames, stated that she and her husband, Fred, own property
that is affected by both Squaw Creek and the Skunk River. She is concerned about what will
happen to the farm ground if floodwalls are allowed to be erected around businesses in the City;
the water must go somewhere, and Ms. Lange feels that farm ground will suffer.
Moved by Cross, seconded by Hoffman, to request the local experts to work with the consultants,
Snyder & Associates, and the City staff to discuss floodplain elevation given the new
information that has been presented tonight to determine if modifications should be made to the
Floodplain Management Plan and to direct that the City include a letter of recommendation for
the watershed assistance grant being applied for by Professor Klaas, et al.
Vote on Motion: 4-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
The meeting recessed at 6:35 p.m. and reconvened at 6:42 p.m.
JOINT MEETING WITH STORY COUNTY AND BOONE COUNTY BOARDS OF
SUPERVISORS: Mayor Tedesco introduced the members of the Story County Board of
Supervisors: Halliburton, Mathison, and Whitmer; members of the Boone County Board of
Supervisors: Lind, Olson, and Reed; Don Nolting, Story County Sanitarian; Luke Nelson, Boone
County Director of Planning and Development and Sanitarian; Jim Stricker, Director of the Iowa
Department of Natural Resources; John Kluge, Story County Department of Health, and staff
members from the City of Ames. Mayor Tedesco explained that this meeting was called to
request that a cooperative effort be taken among the three governmental entities (Ames, Story
County, and Boone County) to develop a policy to address drainage districts.
Paul Wiegand, Public Works Director, and John Dunn, Assistant Director of Water and Pollution
Control, explained the actions taken to date by the City of Ames to help remedy the pollution to
2
College Creek. Jim Stricker explained the actions taken by the DNR to identify the polluters to
the Creek and the progress made thus far to stop the pollution. Don Nolting recapped what
actions have been taken to ascertain any possible polluters in Story County and resolutions to
date. Luke Nelson distributed a map showing specifically the properties in Boone County with
non-approved systems or systems without record. Mr. Nelson also advised that Boone County
is working diligently to get subdivision and zoning regulations in place. He explained what
actions are now being taken by Boone County when homes are purchased to prevent or cease any
connections to drainage tile systems.
Kevin Anderson, City of Ames’ Sanitarian, explained what the State Association of Sanitarians
is doing at the legislative level to ensure adequate septic systems are installed and maintained.
John Dunn stated that the City of Ames began monitoring Squaw Creek and Worle Creek
basically to serve as comparisons to College Creek. He explained the recent results from a
sampling of Worle Creek.
Joel Geske, 2205 Timberlane Road, an owner of land around Worle Creek, stated that he was
concerned that testing of Worle Creek is only occurring at the Boone/Story County line and that
the source of the pollution is not being sought. He feels that testing needs to be done at locations
other than in the residential areas, e.g., around the Vet College.
Eric Abrams, 5416 Norris, Ames, asked if the lagoon systems around College Creek were going
to be allowed to operate as they do currently. Jim Stricker stated that the two mobile home parks
have agreed to land-apply their treated wastewater, and in the future, to upgrade their wastewater
systems.
Dave Reed read from a letter Boone County had received from Attorney Greg Schiller, whom
they have retained for issues concerning drainage districts. The letter was distributed to the City
Council and members of the Boards of Supervisors.
Steve Jones, representing Country Terrace Mobile Home Park, advised that this Mobile Home
Park has applied to Boone County to be allowed to discharge treated effluent from their new
system into the County drainage tile.
It was concurred that a meeting among the City of Ames, Boone County Board of Supervisors,
and the Story County Board of Supervisors will be held on October 17, 2000, at 7:00 p.m. in the
Ames City Council Chambers to discuss development in the fringe areas.
Steve Vasey, 919 Murray Drive, Ames, reminded the Council that this entire issue began with
the discovery of fecal chloroform, and that none of the remedies suggested tonight will address
that issue.
The meeting recessed at 8:08 p.m. and reconvened at 8:15 p.m.

DISCUSSION OF REQUEST TO INCREASE HOTEL/MOTEL TAX FROM 5 TO 7%:
Roger Berger, 4121 Dawes Drive, Ames, Iowa, voiced his support for this proposal to be put
before the voters of Ames. Mr. Berger distributed information on Actors (Ames Community
Theater), for which he serves as president, and explained how he felt this arts organization would
benefit from the additional 2% increase to the Hotel/Motel Tax.
Met Szopinski, 4123 Phoenix, Ames, said that he feels that the proposed ballot language doesn’t
contain specifics as to how or for whom the additional funds would be used; there is nothing
5
concrete. He also feels that it is important that the proposed increase include a sunset clause. In
his opinion, there is no reason to rush; the citizens should be able to learn more about the
proposal and be able to comment on it.
John Willey, owner of Howard Johnson Express Inn, 1709 South Duff, advised that as a
proprietor, he does not support the increase to the Tax. He has not been informed for what the
additional funds will be used. Mr. Willey distributed letters from two customers of his Inn who
are not in favor an the proposed increase.
Monte Parrish, 4020 Fletcher, Ames, owner of Microtel Inn & Suites and the University Inn, said
that he is not in favor of the increase to the Tax. Mr. Parrish gave reasons why he believes this
proposal is not coming at a good time. He said that Ames has been in an “occupancy slump”
since last July, and he distributed statistics on the occupancy rate. In his opinion, this Tax would
mean increasing the price when there is less demand. He would support the proposal if the Ames
Convention and Visitors Bureau took a more aggressive approach to marketing.
Dave Percival, Holiday Inn/Gateway Center, stated that he is not in favor of the proposal to
increase the Hotel/Motel Tax because he feels it is too little and spread across too many projects.
He believes any increase to the Tax should be used for a project of a much larger scale.
Paul Hudson, 2025 Friley Road, Ames, spoke as the president of the Children’s Museum. He
feels that the timing is right for the organizations needing the funding.
Paul Stump and Emily Stump, 2415 Melrose, Ames, spoke in favor of the increase as users of
the Ames Sports Complex. Emily plays softball and gave her opinions on various facilities
throughout Iowa where her team has played.
Harry McMaken, 234 South Franklin, Ames, representing Destination Ames, expressed his
support for the proposed increase. He feels that the Tax would allow many organizations the
opportunity to provide great economic impact to this community. Mr. McMaken advised that he
has petitions signed by over 500 persons in support of the proposed increase; copies of the
petitions were distributed to the City Council.
Council Member Cross explained the history behind the last two proposals to increase the
Hotel/Motel Tax. He pointed out that there have been no significant explanations as to the impact
on the economic value, which has been expected in the past, or significant impact on the quality
of life for the community overall that would be expected if this Tax were passed; Council should
expect a defined plan as to how the funds are going to be used.
Council Member Quirmbach pointed out that what is being asked of the City Council is to place
this item on a ballot to allow the voters to decide. He feels that it is clear to him that more
marketing funds and resources are needed to promote the hotel industry in Ames. Mr. Quirmbach
feels that there are mechanisms in place to measure accountability of the use of the funds.
Council Member Hoffman said that elections cost money, and the proposal needs to be more
clearly defined.
Since the proposed Tax increase does not have the support of the business owners who are
6
responsible for bringing people to Ames, Council Member Campbell indicated that she cannot
support it.
Because of the wide variety of projects that would benefit from the increased Tax, Council
Member Wirth voiced her support of the proposal.
Moved by Quirmbach to refer the following issues to staff to be placed on the City Council’s
July 25, 2000, agenda:
1.Direct the City Attorney and appropriate City staff to review the contractual language that
has been submitted, both as to legal form and as to completeness
2.Direct staff to review the revenue projections for the Hotel/Motel Tax for the next ten years
and attempt to determine reasonable dollar amounts that might be available for the
proposed distribution
3.Refer to the City Attorney the proposed ballot language for legal review
4.Request that the City Attorney prepare a Resolution to put the matter on the ballot for
August 29
5.Direct the City Attorney to prepare the necessary language in the form of a Resolution to
establish the Advisory Committee that has been proposed; that Resolution to be considered
prior to the passage of the referendum, but would take effect only upon passage of the
referendum
Motion died for lack of a second.
Moved by Quirmbach, seconded by Wirth, to refer the proposed ballot language to the City
Attorney for legal review and request that he prepare the appropriate resolution to establish an
election date of August 29 and report back to Council at their July 25, 2000, agenda.
