RESOLUTION APPROVING SUBMITTAL OF AN IOWA DEPARTMENT OF

APPLICATION FOR THE MOORE MEMORIAL PARK BRIDGE PROJECT
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, in 1987, the Moore Family donated 90 acres of land to the City for a
community park, known today as Moore Memorial Park. Ever since the park opened,
there has been no direct access for users to the 40 acres of land west of Ioway Creek. In
an effort to provide access to those 40 acres, staff budgeted funds for a bridge as part of
the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP); and,
WHEREAS, to alleviate the burden on City funding, staff is in the process of
completing a grant application to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Resource
Enhancement and Protection (REAP) program requesting $200,000 for the design and
construction of the bridge; and,
WHEREAS, the REAP application process requires City Council to approve the
submittal of the grant application.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that the submittal of an Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Resource
Enhancement and Protection grant application in the amount of $200,000 for the Moore
Memorial Park Bridge Project is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 12th day of August, 2025.
