RESOLUTION APPROVING LEASE AGREEMENT WITH LAMAR ADVERTISING
TO PLACE A DIGITAL BILLBOARD ON CITY OF AMES PROPERTY
KNOWN AS LOT 3 OF THE BILLY SUNDAY SUBDIVISION
GENERALLY ADDRESSED AS 731 BILLY SUNDAY ROAD
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, the digital billboard lease allows for the construction and operation of
a digital billboard on City property. In exchange, the City receives three direct benefits: 1)
rent payments for the use of the property, 2) the ability to use advertising space on the
billboard at no cost for periodic public service advertisements, and 3) the removal of two
non-conforming double-sided billboards on Lincoln Way near downtown; and,
WHEREAS, the two non-conforming billboards that will be removed will resolve
one key barrier to moving forward with the Linc project. City staff believes the proposed
lease terms are fair in comparison with terms for other long-term leases of City property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that lease agreement with Lamar Advertising to place a digital billboard on City of
Ames property known as Lot 3 of the Billy Sunday Subdivision generally addressed as
731 Billy Sunday Road is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 13th day of January, 2026.
