RESOLUTION APPROVING WAIVER OF
PARKING METER FEES ON 5TH STREET FOR
STORY COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH EXPO
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, City staff is planning to host the 2025 Story County Mental Health Expo
from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 16, 2025, in City Hall; and,
WHEREAS, this year's event will include a resource fair in the City Gym featuring
exhibits and opportunities for conversation with mental health providers in Story County,
and a keynote speaker in the City Auditorium. The evening will also include food trucks
and refreshments. Admission is free; and,
WHEREAS, to facilitate this event, organizers have requested a waiver of parking
fees for 23 metered spaces along the north side of 5th Street from 3:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
on Thursday, October 16, 2025, for food truck and trailer parking; and,
WHEREAS, the waiver of metered parking fees is estimated to result in a loss of
$17.25 to the Parking Fund. The City Council's policy regarding parking fee waivers in
areas that are less than district-wide is to consider such requests on a case-by-case basis.
In this instance the lost revenue is de minimis, and the cost to bill and process payment
would approach the amount of lost revenue.
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 metered parking spaces
for the Story County Mental Health Expo on Thursday, October 16, 2025, is hereby
approved.
ADOPTED THIS 14th day of October, 2025.
