RESOLUTION APPROVING MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
WITH MARY GREELEY MEDICAL CENTER FOR ALTERNATIVE RESPONSE
TO COMMUNITY HEALTH CALLS FOR SERVICE
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, the partnership with Mary Greeley Medical Center for the ARCH
program provides quality and effective services to address crisis situations while freeing
up other first responders and diverting expensive visits to the Emergency Room. The
model of dispatching the team through the City's Emergency Communication Center has
proven to be beneficial to all involved; and,
WHEREAS, the agreement shall be effective July 1, 2025, and will remain in effect
for a period of five years. The approval of the joint agreement will have no effect on the
FY 2025/26 budget since the funding obligations highlighted for the current fiscal year
have already been appropriated in the budget. The City’s commitment to financially
support ARCH service past FY 2025/2026, is dependent on future appropriation of funds
by the City Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that the Memorandum of Agreement between Mary Greeley Medical Center and
the City of Ames, Iowa, for an Alternative Response to Community Health Calls for
Service is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 18th day of November, 2025.
