RESOLUTION APPROVING WAIVER
OF PARKING METER FEES IN CAMPUSTOWN
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, City staff received a request from Campustown businesses to waive
parking fees in Campustown. This construction season, the 200 block of Welch Avenue
was closed to facilitate replacement of utilities and the roadway surface. It was originally
anticipated this work would be completed by early August 2025. However, persistent rainy
weather has delayed the opening of the road; and,
WHEREAS, to facilitate this request, City staff has requested to waive metered
parking fees at 48 parking meters on the 2500 block of Chamberlain Street, the 2500
block of Hunt Street, and in Campustown Lot T on the three Friday/Saturday periods of
August 29-30, September 5-6, and September 26-27, 2025, which would result in a loss
of $2,970 to the parking fund; and,
WHEREAS, the request to provide free parking is intended to assist the affected
Campustown businesses in making it easier to encourage customers to patronize this
part of the community during construction.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that the waiver of parking meter fees for the aforementioned meter closures in
Campustown is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 19th day of August, 2025.
