Two of these City polling locations (Ames Public Library and Collegiate United Methodist Church) use metered parking as the primary public parking resource. The other 18 locations in the City have private parking associated with the facility or, in the case of Iowa State University, already allocated parking for poll workers and voters; and, WHEREAS, the next local election is on November 4, 2025. The Story County Auditor has requested the following allocation of 29 parking spaces and the waiver of meter fees, as done in previous election years: up to 20 parking meters on Douglas Avenue between 5th Street and 6th Street and up to nine parking meters on the south side of Lincoln Way in front of Collegiate Methodist Church; and, WHEREAS, these waivers result in an estimated loss of $75.38 to the Parking Fund. While there is no statutory requirement to provide parking, meter fees may serve as a potential barrier to voting. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa, that the request from Story County Auditor for Election Day -related allocations for parking spaces and waiver of fees at the locations noted above for November 4, 2025, election only hereby approved. ADOPTED THIS 28th day of October, 2025. _______________________________ _________________________________ Renee Hall, City Clerk John A.
