OF THE AMES CITY COUNCIL
AMES, IOWA JUNE 23, 1998
The Ames City Council met in regular session at 5:30 p.m. on the 23rd day of June, 1998, in the City
Council Chambers in City Hall, 515 Clark Avenue, pursuant to law with Mayor Ted Tedesco
presiding and the following Council members present: Campbell, Cross, Hoffman, Parks,
Quirmbach, and Wirth. County Board of Supervisors Halliburton, Mathison, and Whitmer were in
attendance for the presentation of the Ames-Story County Housing Needs Assessment and Action
Plan.
PRESENTATION OF COUNTY-WIDE HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND ACTION
PLAN: Vanessa Baker-Latimer, Housing Coordinator for the City of Ames, explained the process
whereby the Ames-Story County Housing Needs Task Force coordinated meetings and a plan
in order to determine the housing needs of Story County. Grant funds were used to hire RDG
Crose Gardner Shukert, Inc., to complete a comprehensive housing assessment and action plan
for all of the communities in Story County as well as unicorporated areas of the County.
Ms. Baker-Latimer further explained that it was the recommendation of the Task Force that the
City Council and the Story County Board of Supervisors accept the completion of the Ames-
Story County Housing Needs Assessment and Action Plan.
Marty Shukert of RDG Crose Gardner Shukert, Inc., presented an overview of the needs
assessment and action plan. Ten months of research was conducted, which included: a housing
perception survey from a variety of persons with special knowledge, insights, or interest in
housing throughout Story County; focus group meetings held throughout Story County that
included various levels of community input from citizens and community groups; a survey of
employees from major employers located in Story County; and, a comprehensive analysis and
assessment of the housing conditions, demands, and affordability of each individual community
within Story County. The study concluded that there was a shortage in the moderate to low-cost
housing market.
Mr. Shukert’s needs assessment concluded that a specific action plan and implementation
program needed to be established utilizing the following “issue areas”: 1. Production Capacity,
addressing the development of affordable single-family and rental housing; 2. Affordable
Single-Family Development, concentrating on producing housing for owner-occupants priced
within a $60-100,000 range; 3. Range of Rental Development, providing housing for a moderate
income general population, as well as a number of units that accommodate low and moderate-
income families; and, 4. Housing Conservation and Rehabilitation, maintaining and
rehabilitating existing sound housing, and removing units that are unsound or incapable of
rehabilitation.
In conclusion, Mr. Shukert discussed each of the program’s developed recommendations for a
regional housing market. He indicated that a regional approach could accomplish regional and
local goals by pooling resources which would be beyond the capabilities of any one community.
He stated that it was his hope that this action plan would provide everyone with the tools,
assessments, and actions needed for housing in Ames and Story County.
A number of mayors from other communities within Story County were also in attendance for
the presentation. They indicated their satisfaction with the survey and voiced their support of
the action plan.
Ms. Baker-Latimer thanked the Task Force members for their representation. She stated the next
step would be to determine how the action plan recommendations would be implemented.
Moved by Parks, seconded by Hoffman, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 98-284 accepting
completion of the Ames-Story County Housing Needs Assessment and Action Plan study
in connection with the agreement for consulting services with RDG Crose Gardner
Shukert, Inc., and the grant agreement with the Iowa Department of Economic
Development.

$100,000 was to be put towards this project. The overall project budget is $300,000 with the
additional $200,000 being contributed to the School District by Friends of Ames Tennis. Bids
were received, and the project came in approximately $91,000 over the estimate. Mr. Schainker
explained that the School Board has “veto” power since they would be incurring any costs over
the $100,000 contributed by the City. He asked that the Council delay award of this contract

AMES HUMANE LEAGUE ISSUES: Lorna Lavender, Animal Control Officer, and Chief of
Police Dennis Ballantine addressed the Council regarding the Ames Humane League’s proposed
ordinance regarding the number of pets allowed per household. Ms. Lavender reported that the
proposed ordinance was investigating the limiting of animals kept outside to no more than four.
If there were more kept at one household, a permit would be required. Any violations could
result in the permit being revoked.
Much discussion was held regarding the number of outdoor pets, enforcement of the proposed
ordinance, and pet supervision. Ms. Lavender indicated that the Humane League was meeting
June 24, and they hoped to have a draft ordinance to the Council very soon. City Attorney John
Klaus indicated that the proposed ordinance could possibly be brought before Council within
the next month.
The Humane League had earlier requested that the Council participate in their survey in order
to help them set priorities for the League. City Manager Schainker referred to his memo in
which he outlined the following projects as a plan of work: 1. Continue to study and implement
programs that create responsible pet ownership; 2. Assist Staff with ongoing data collection and
evaluation of present programs and services; 3. Assist Staff with volunteer programs; and,
4. Continue to explore options for improving spay/neuter programs.
Moved by Quirmbach, seconded by Parks, to ask that the four projects as listed be
communicated to the Ames Humane League as their priorities.
Discussion took place regarding whether the Council intended to maintain the League
as a standing committee or restructure it so as to utilize the members as a task force or
user group. While it was important to have citizen input, it may not be needed on a
regular basis. It was noted that there seemed to be a lack of citizen interest in serving
on this particular board.
Council Member Quirmbach withdrew the motion.
Moved by Campbell, seconded by Cross, to allow the League to finalize their proposed
ordinance regarding the number of pets allowed per household, and to direct the City
Attorney to investigate the necessary action regarding the dissolution of the Ames Humane
League.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
AMES COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PARK: City Manager Schainker said that there were
five separate issues dealing with the Park, and that they would be handled separately.

Previously, the Council approved the second phase of the Community Development Park, and
the City agreed to cover the costs, which totaled $544,577, for constructing water, sewer,
electric, and street improvements through tax increment financing. Now, the Council received
a request from the developers to consider expanding public improvements beyond the original
boundaries, which would cost $929,000 for infrastructure. Mr. Schainker stated that, in this
case, he recommended approval based upon the project pay-off which would result in a tax base
of $7,200,000 being created within the first year of public investment.
Moved by Wirth, seconded by Cross, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 98-314 approving the
request from the developers to expand the infrastructure costs and agree to contract for the

Subdivision Ordinance relating to block lengths. Staff felt that the request could be approved
on the condition that the City restrict driveway access to Lots 1, 2, 4, and 6.
Moved by Parks, seconded by Wirth, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 98-316 approving the
final plat for the Ames Community Development Subdivision, 2nd Addition, and to waive
the Section 23.23(1) Subdivision Ordinance requirement on Lots 2, 4, and 6 with no

improvements, schedules, prioritization, and cost of improvements. He described the public
participation portion of the next phase and the processes involved. Mr. Wiegand felt that
Phase II of the Transportation Plan would take place over a 12 to 15-month period.
Richard Hocking, consultant with Barton-Aschman, reviewed the details of the work program.
He indicated that during Phase II, public participation would continue throughout the work

role was to coordinate all of the study’s activity, while the consultant’s focus would be the
technical issues.

RIGHT-OF-WAY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM DRAFT ORDINANCE: Assistant City
Manager Bob Kindred explained that many communities across the state and the nation have
adopted right-of-way ordinances in response to multiple providers of telecommunication lines
being located in the municipalities’ rights-of-way. He indicated that the Council needed to move
forward to strengthen the City’s position in managing the rights-of-way as more companies will
be coming forth wanting to utilize limited space. The proposed ordinance would grant a license
to outside entities to use the R-O-W’s for utility-type purposes, and this license would be

management ordinance with affected utilities and other right-of-way users for review and
comment.

to pass on first reading an ordinance establishing a City street named Aviation Way.
Moved by Cross, seconded by Parks, to amend the ordinance by establishing the street name as

Fred Miller, 1320 Indiana, felt that the Council should approve VisionAire’s request that the
street be named VisionAire Place. He felt that the VisionAire plant was just the beginning
of what was yet to come to Ames in the aviation business. Mr. Miller said that while this
may set a precedence, VisionAire’s was a justifiable request.
Clyde Richards, 2907 Ontario, stated that it has taken five years to get VisionAire to this
point, and that the naming of the street as VisionAire Place would help them pay back the
community.
