RESOLUTION APPROVING WAIVER OF PARKING ENFORCMENT IN LOT Q
FOR THE AMES UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST
THEOLOGIAN IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM
AND REQUIRING REIMBURSEMENT FOR LOST PARKING METER REVENUE
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, Ames United Church of Christ (UCC) is planning to host its annual
Theologian in Residence Program on Saturday, October 25, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
The event will be held inside Ames UCC and is free and open to the public; and,
WHEREAS, in order to facilitate this event, Ames UCC has requested approval to
waive parking fees and enforcement in Lot Q (north of the Library) to provide parking for
event attendees; and,
WHEREAS, the closure of the metered parking spaces will result in an estimated
loss of $84.00 to the Parking Fund. The Council’s policy regarding parking waivers is to
consider requests such as this one on a case -by-case basis, as opposed to requiring
reimbursement for lost parking revenue. Lost parking revenue is only required to be
reimbursed under this policy when the parking waiver is district-wide; and,
WHEREAS, the City Attorney has advised that approving the waiver of parking
meter fees for this event will establish a precedent that parking meter fees are to be
waived not only for events occurring on streets and sidewalks or in public buildings, but
also within private establishments or businesses.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that waiver of parking enforcement in Lot Q from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with required
reimbursement of $84.00 for lost parking revenue for the Theologian in Residence
Program on Saturday, October 25, 2025, is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 14th day of October, 2025.
