RESOLUTION APPROVING THE UPDATED CITY COUNCIL VALUES, GOALS,
AND TASKS FOR JANUARY 1, 2024, TO DECEMBER 31, 2025
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, on August 19, 2025, the City Council met to review its values, goals,
and tasks for January 1, 2024 - December 31, 2025. Staff provided a written status update
on the goals. At the August meeting, the only proposed changes discussed related to items
affected by House File 856 which was signed into law in late May 2025. This law prohibits
"public entities from engaging in certain activities relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion,
creating a private cause of action, and including effective date provision s."; and,
WHEREAS, to ensure compliance with the law, the updated City values, goals and
tasks eliminates the sections under "We Value Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive
Community." Only one task from that section remains and is now proposed to move under
"C. We Value a Fun, Vibrant, and Healthy Community that Attracts and Retains People"
as C3.T.1.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that the Updated City Council Values, Goals, and Tasks for January 1, 2024, to
December 31, 2025 are hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 23rd day of September, 2025.
