Box 811 Ames, IA 50010 www.CityofAmes.org 24 ITEM #:7 DATE:02-24-26 DEPT:W&PC SUBJECT:GRANT CONTRACT WITH THE IOWA FINANCE AUTHORITY FOR THE WASTEWATER AND DRINKING WATER TREATMENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (WTFAP) COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: The Water Pollution Control Facility is nearly 50% complete with modifications to its treatment processes. These modifications are the first of two construction phases that will ultimately enable the facility to achieve the goals of the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy. The authorized budget for the project is $62,540,000. Of that, $59,777,282 has been expended or encumbered, leaving a remaining contingency of $2,761,718. Staff applied for a grant from the Wastewater and Drinking Water Treatment Financial Assistance Program (WTFAP), administered by the Iowa Finance Authority. The application staff submitted requested the maximum award amount of $500,000. The nutrient reduction project qualified for the grant program under three different funding priorities established by the program: Projects whose completion will provide significant improvement to water quality in the watershed Communities employing alternative wastewater treatment technology Communities employing technology to address the goals of the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy. On February 4, 2026, staff was informed that the application was successful, and the City was being awarded $500,000. The payment of the grant funds will be made on the next State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan disbursement request. The first $500,000 will be from the grant award, then the balance will come from the SRF loan. The net impact would be a lower principal on the SRF loan at the end of the project. The Grant Contract, attached, has been reviewed by the City Legal Department and been found acceptable. The Contract is now ready for the Council to authorize the Mayor to execute the contract on behalf of the City. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Authorize the Mayor to execute the attached Grant Contract, accepting the $500,000 award that will be applied to the State Revolving Fund loan for the Water Pollution Control Facility Nutrient Reduction Modifications project. 2. Do not authorize the Grant Contract and forego the $500,000 grant award. 25 CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Given the impact of large capital projects on ratepayers, staff is continuously seeking alternatives to control those impacts to the greatest extent possible. Accepting the $500,000 grant award would result in a lower principal balance on the SRF loan that is financing the WPC Nutrient Reduction Modifications project, which in turn will lower the debt service payments on the loan. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #1 as described above.

Eligible projects benefit residents, especially those age 50 and older, in areas of transportation, mobility, housing, and overall quality of life. Staff has engaged with multiple senior living communities to develop a grant proposal that would initiate single-stream recycling at partner facilities. While the City plans to implement community residential curbside recycling in July 2026, facilities such as senior living communities will be excluded from the residential program. As such, the AARP grant is an opportunity to support these types of facilities with recycling. Grant funds would be used to pay for up to six months of recycling hauler costs, supplies such as collection containers, and educational materials. Staff is actively working with partners to finalize the grant application and budget, which will not exceed the program maximum of $15,000. Grant applications are due on March 3. Applicants will be notified in May, and projects must be completed by December 2026. If the grant is successful, the City would serve as a pass-through entity, distributing 100% of grant funds to interested partners to complete recycling activities. Staff will be available to support, but each partner receiving funding will be responsible for the implementation of recycling at their facility. Following the six-month grant period, partners are not obligated to continue recycling but will likely continue if residents support the initiative or savings are realized through reduced trash hauling. Partners will share information about diversion rates and participation with the City, and the lessons learned will help staff better support future multifamily and commercial recycling efforts in the community. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Authorize staff to apply for and participate in the AARP's Community Challenge grant program for up to $15,000. 2. Do not authorize staff to apply for or participate in the AARP's Community Challenge grant program. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The AARP grant would support access to recycling for Ames residents who would not receive the service through the residential curbside recycling program. The grant proposal aligns with the City's waste diversion and Climate Action Plan goals. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above. 47 To:Mayor and City Council From:Keith Abraham, Parks and Recreation Director Date:February 24, 2026 Subject:Fitch Family Indoor Aquatic Center Monthly Update Item No. 9 MEMO PROJECT UPDATE: In accordance with a previous directive, staff is required to keep the City Council informed of the construction status of the Fitch Family Indoor Aquatic Center (FFIAC) and will provide a written update at Council's second meeting of each month. Additionally, staff, along with representatives from Story Construction and RDG Planning and Design, will provide an in-person update once per quarter (January, April, July, & October). If anything occurs during the project that requires Council action, staff will present this in a timely manner. In accordance with this directive, the City's Construction Manager for the project, Story Construction, has provided a Project Status Update (Attachment A). There are several items that City Council needs to be updated on regarding the project. Precast Concrete Panels Staff continues to work with Story and RDG regarding the precast concrete panels. A Notice to Cure letter has been sent to the Bid Package Contractor which included the need to respond by February 23. Three stain colors have been selected to be applied to the mockup panel and will be done soon. Staff, along with RDG and Story Construction representatives, will provide an update to City Council in March. Polished Concrete Floors The concrete floors in the lobby and the hallway to the locker rooms were specified to be a polished Class B finish which is best described as a "salt & pepper" look. Staff is not happy with the inconsistencies, imperfections, and the overall appearance of these areas. Thus, staff has directed the contractor to go Parks and Recreation 515.239.5105 main 515.239.5142 fax 515 Clark Ave. P.O. Box 811 Ames, IA 50010 www.CityofAmes.org 48 to a Class C finish which will look similar to a terrazzo floor. A Construction Change Directive (CCD) was issued to keep the project moving forward. The work began on February 9 and is expected to be completed by February 23. The cost estimate to do this work is $34,210. Staff has had conversations with Story and the contractor regarding who is to pay for this change. Through these discussions, it has been agreed that the City will pay $20,000, the contractor $12,210, and Story $2,000. All parties feel this is a fair resolution and a change order has been processed administratively. Substantial Completion Dates The revised substantial completion dates are as follows: February 27 - Non-natatorium spaces February 27 - Natatorium spaces Please note that the glazing for the southeast portion of the natatorium has a 10- week lead time and will need to be installed in early April. Efforts to expedite the procurement of the glazing have been unsuccessful. Story has informed the Pool Bid Package Contractor that they are responsible for paying for the purchase and installation of temporary tempered glass in this area. State Inspection The state inspection is scheduled for March 3 and will encompass all components related to the operation of the aquatic areas. In preparation for this, Story, RDG, and City staff are reviewing the inspection checklist to ensure the facility is ready to go. Soil and Ground Water Contamination It should be noted there have been no contaminated soils or groundwater found to date. CHANGE ORDER SUMMARY: There were five change orders since the last report, and the changes thus far on the project are shown on the change order log (Attachment B). Roller Shade in Aquatic Manager Office - $1,103. Staff requested the contractor add a roller shade on the door of the office to provide privacy when needed. AV Media Touch Pads, Antenna, and Mic - $1,212. Staff directed these to be installed as they are needed for aqua classes that will be offered in the lap pool and wellness pool. Aquatic Storage Rooms HVAC - $6,626. Staff asked for fans to be installed and changes be made to the HVAC system to provide increased air flow in these rooms to dry wet equipment between uses. Parks and Recreation 515.239.5105 main 515.239.5142 fax 515 Clark Ave. P.O. Box 811 Ames, IA 50010 www.CityofAmes.org 49 Aquatic Storage Rooms Piping Insulation - $1,141. The Building Commissioning agent recommended insulating the piping in these rooms and staff agreed. Redo Conduit in Thickened Slab in Maintenance Area - $483. Staff requested a thicker slab in the maintenance area and because of this, conduit had to be installed deeper than what was originally done. To date, construction change orders for the project total $406,732, or 19.37% of the contingency budget. The contingency for this project is $2.1 million with a current balance of $1,693,268. There is also $1 million set aside for mitigation of contamination issues, which has not been used at this time.

This year, organizers are requesting to hold the event on the 200, 300, and 400 blocks of Main Street and on Burnett Avenue from Main Street to the U.S. Bank drive-through. The request to include the 200 block of Main Street is an expansion to the event boundary from previous years. The Market will operate every Saturday from May 2, 2026 to October 17, 2026 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. To facilitate set-up and teardown, streets and parking spaces need to be closed from 5:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. each day. To facilitate the event, organizers request a blanket Vending License for the entire Central Business District from 5:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. each day of the Market, which will allow downtown businesses that file an insurance certificate with the City to display items for sale on the sidewalks. The Chamber has requested that the $50 Vending License fee be waived. Organizers have also requested the use of Tom Evans Plaza between the hours of 5:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. for vendor booths and entertainment. As in previous years, this space would be used for entertainment and educational activities for children and families. However, to prevent damaging the turf in the plaza, vendors will not be permitted to use the turf areas for their activities. The use of electricity in Tom Evans Plaza, along Main Street and on Burnett Avenue has also been requested. Organizers have requested a waiver of the $5 per day fee for use of electricity. To facilitate the Market, organizers have also requested that the two- and four-hour limits in parking in CBD Lots X and Y be waived during Market hours. Additionally, 103 metered parking spaces will be closed for 4.5 metered hours each day the Market operates (25 total days). City staff estimates that this will result in a loss of $2,897 to the Parking Fund. Market organizers have requested that the meter fees be waived because the Market is a non- profit organization, and in return the City would be included as a sponsor on all Market advertising materials. The City Council’s adopted parking fee waiver policy allows the City Council to waive parking fees on a case-by-case basis for requests that do not involve District-wide free parking. Last year, the City Council did not waive meter fees for this event. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the requested street and parking space closures from 5:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Saturdays from May 2 to October 17, use of Tom Evans Plaza for entertainers, use of City electrical outlets, a blanket Vending License, suspension of parking enforcement in 60 CBD Lots X and Y from 6:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. each of the affected days, and waiver of the fees only for the Vending License and electricity use. This alternative requires reimbursement for lost parking meter revenue in the amount of $2,897. 2. Approve the requests as stated in Alternative No. 1, but do not require Farmers’ Market to reimburse the City for the Vending License, electricity use, or parking meter revenue. 3. Deny the requests. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The Main Street Farmers’ Market has successfully attracted visitors to the Downtown for the last several years. It has become a signature event in Ames, enhancing the local economy and providing a family-friendly activity that showcases the Ames community. However, due to the overall poor health of the City’s Parking Operations Fund, staff is advising that the Council require reimbursement for lost parking revenue, as was the case in previous years. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as noted above. ATTACHMENT(S): Letter to Mayor and City Council 2026.pdf Farmers' Market Application.pdf Street Map for City.pdf 61 AmesAlliance.com 304 Main Street Ames, Iowa 50010 January 12, 2026 Mayor and City Council City of Ames 515 Clark Ave Ames, IA 50010 Dear Honorable Mayor Haila and City Council, The Ames Alliance is planning to hold the 16th season of the Ames Main Street Farmers’ Market this summer. We were excited to have volunteers count 8047 guests on a Saturday morning in July, and we know this was not even our busiest day. It shows the growth in the Ames Main Street Farmers' Market over the years. We would like to expand and schedule this event to be held on the 200, 300 and 400 blocks of Main Street every Saturday from May 2nd to October 17th, 8:00AM to 12:30PM (the road is scheduled to be closed from 5:30AM to 1:30PM to allow for setup, tear down, and cleanup). The event will showcase the area’s best farmers, crafters, artists, and prepared food experts as well as offering weekly live entertainment and children's activities. At this time, the Ames Alliance asks the City Council to consider four specific requests: 1.The Ames Alliance requests a Blanket Vending Permit for the entire Downtown Ames to allow businesses to sell merchandise outside their stores if they so choose. The Ames Alliance further requests the fee be waived as any businesses selling products on the sidewalk are members. 2.The Ames Alliance requests free use of electricity along the 200, 300 and 400 Blocks of Main Street and for the outlets in the Tom Evans Park. 3.The Ames Alliance requests that the fee be waived for the parking meters on the 200, 300 and 400 Blocks during the Ames Main Street Farmers’ Market as the Market is a Non-Profit organization. In return the City of Ames would be considered a Sponsor of our Ames Main Street Farmers’ Market and would be included in all advertising, newsletters and on our website. For the 24-week period the Market brings 192,000 people to the Main Street Cultural District. The benefit from these visitors coming to the Market will increase income in parking, shopping, and eating in our beautiful city. 4.The Ames Alliance also requests that that any timed, 2hr or 4 hr. parking fees in the back lots of the 200, 300 and 400 Blocks of Main Street be waived from 6:00am to 1:30pm during the Market season. We also ask that vendors are allow ed to use spaces within this area without the threat of being ticketed for parking in more than one spot as this is the only area for our vendors with trailers to park. Thank you for your consideration of these requests and continued support of Downtown Ames. We look forward to seeing you at the Ames Main Street Farmers’ Market throughout the 2026 season. Sincerely, Lojean Petersen Ames Main Street Farmers’ Market Manager 62 63 64 65 ITEM #:10 DATE:02-24-26 DEPT:ADMIN SUBJECT:REQUESTS FROM AMES MAIN STREET FOR 515 DAY ON MAY 15, 2026 COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: Ames Main Street (AMS) plans to host “515 Day” on Friday, May 15, 2026. This event was implemented by Ames Main Street in 2021 with the intention of celebrating area code 515 through a variety of activities, such as 515-themed specials in businesses and giveaways to attract individuals to Downtown Ames. The activities include a beer garden, live music on Douglas Avenue, and a family activity zone on Douglas Avenue. The events are free to attend. Organizers expect up to 1,000 people to participate in the activities. To facilitate the activities, Ames Main Street requests the following for May 15: Closures of 5th Street from Burnett Avenue through Douglas Avenue, Kellogg Avenue from Main Street to 5th Street, and Douglas Avenue from Main Street to 5th Street. Use of City electrical outlets and waiver of fees for electricity (estimated loss to Electric Fund of $5). A blanket Temporary Obstruction Permit and a blanket Vending License for Downtown to allow stores to display and sell merchandise and for food truck vendors. A waiver of the Vending License fee is requested ($50 loss to City Clerk’s Office). Local authority approval for a 5-Day (May 14-18, 2026) Special Class C Retail Alcohol License with Outdoor Service for Thirsty Pigs (515 Day Ames), 215 5th Street Organizers will have trained volunteers to check IDs and staff the event area. Wristbands will be provided to those of legal age to consume alcohol. Ames Main Street staff and volunteers will monitor the crowd and staff the road closures. REQUEST FOR SUSPENSION OF ENFORCEMENT OF MUNICIPAL CODE 17.16: Organizers are again this year requesting the ability to allow patrons of all ages to be within the alcohol service area. This requires the City Council to suspend enforcement of Section 17.16 of the Municipal Code, which prohibits minors from being on the premises of an establishment where the primary sales are of alcoholic beverages. In 2025, City staff provided a detailed analysis of the rationale for why, in this specific event, City staff was supportive of the request. The City Council approved the 2025 request and the event occurred with no issues observed by City staff. Therefore, staff is again recommending approval. The analysis of the 2025 request remains applicable, and is provided below for the Council's reference: Section 17.16 of the Municipal Code makes a distinction between alcohol-licensed premises that function more like a restaurant, with food sales making up the majority of the sales, and premises that function as a bar, where alcohol sales are a majority of the business. For the former, minors may be in the premises without a legal-age adult. For the latter, minors are not permitted without a legal-age adult accompanying them. The Police Department relies on 66 business records of transactions to make the determination regarding whether minors would be allowed or not under the ordinance's criteria. Event organizers have requested suspension of Municipal Code 17.16 to allow for event attendees to carry their beverages throughout the event space. Typically for events of this type, since the license holder sells the alcohol and separate vendors sell food and other items, and since no historical pattern of sales can be evaluated for intermittent events, the alcohol sales have been treated like a bar--a designated alcohol consumption area has been created using fencing, and those allowed in must either be 21 years of age or older, or (if the organizers wish) a minor child accompanied by their legal-age parent or guardian. Ames Main Street has requested the ability to license the entire event area as the premises for the event and not be required to fence a separate beer garden area. This would allow attendees of all ages to move freely throughout the event area. Ames Main Street has entered into an agreement with Thirsty Pigs, of Madrid, IA, to host alcohol at the event. An alcohol license has been applied for by Thirsty Pigs and is currently awaiting local authority approval by the City Council. The City has had a long history of requiring alcohol consumption for special events to occur in a designated area without intermingling of legal age adults and minors. The concern from staff has historically been the challenges observed with minors being able to obtain alcohol in establishments that advertise or operate like a bar, but where just enough food sales occur to qualify for minors to be allowed on the premises. Staff discussed these issues with Ames Main Street and has developed a list of the specific circumstances for the proposed event that the Council could consider to justify allowing a suspension of Section 17.16 in this instance. It should be emphasized that other events in the future, with circumstances outside of these described below, are not likely to receive staff support to allow minors on the premises. The circumstances related to this event that may justify the requested suspension of enforcement of Section 17.16 include: 1. The event includes entertainment and activities that are the focus of the event (alcohol consumption is incidental to the event). 2. Food and non-alcoholic beverages will be offered in a meaningful variety. No distilled spirits are involved. 3. The event is non-ticketed, intended to be family-friendly, and includes promotional materials that suggest it as a family event. 4. It is organized by a locally established entity, with a track record of hosting events successfully and with an interest in continuing to do so. 5. The event will conclude by 8:00 p.m., placing the event entirely during daylight hours. 6. The event area is in a portion of the Downtown that does not contain a significant number of other alcohol-licensed establishments, minimizing the need to manage the area between licensed premises to ensure alcohol does not travel from one premises to another. Activities will require the closure of 83 metered parking spaces for 8 metered hours, resulting in a loss of approximately $332 to the Parking Fund. Organizers have requested that this amount be waived by the City Council. The Council's policy regarding the closure of metered parking in an area less than an entire business district 67 is to consider the waiver of such fees on a case-by-case basis. PUBLIC OUTREACH: Ames Main Street will send email notifications to Downtown businesses in the event area. Additionally, Ames Main Street staff will canvas the area to visit with the businesses in person, explaining the event location and handing out informational posters. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the requests for 515 Day as described above, including the requested waivers of fees, and the 5-Day (May 14-18, 2026) Special Class C Retail Alcohol License with Outdoor Service for Thirsty Pigs (515 Day Ames), 215 5th Street. 2. Approve the requests as indicated above, but require reimbursement for the blanket Vending License, electricity use, and lost parking meter revenue. 3. Approve the requests as indicated above, but deny waiver of Municipal Code 17.16 for the event area. 4. Deny the requests. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: 515 Day provides an opportunity to attract visitors to Downtown Ames. The events include family friendly activities and promotions that support local businesses. Given the small dollar amount and number of parking spaces involved, staff believes it is reasonable to waive the parking fees for this event, along with the other requested fee waivers. Ames Main Street is a well-established local entity that has successfully hosted many events with alcohol components in Downtown . With future event approvals subject to City staff review, the organization has considerable incentive to ensure a safe, well-run event. Additionally, City staff maintains documentation of any issues or concerns observed and refers to it for any future requests from the organization. Staff believes that the factors listed in the report above, along with the track record in 2025 where the event occurred with no issues, make a case to support a waiver of enforcement of Section 17.16 of the Municipal Code. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1 as described above.

January 21, 2026 Mayor and City Council City of Ames 515 Clark Ave Ames, IA 50010 Dear Mayor Haila and Members of the Ames City Council, Ames Main Street is planning to hold the 6th annual 515 Day event on Friday, May 15, 2026 in Downtown Ames. This year, we have decided to host the event on one day and combine many of the elements of last year’s event into a single day from 4p-8p. Specific information about the event can be found on the included Special Event Application. Additionally, we request the following: • May 15 o Street Closures : 5th St from Burnett Ave through Douglas Ave, Kellogg Ave from Main St to 5th St, Douglas St from Main St to 5th St o Waiver of fees for: electric use in the event boundary, blanket vendor permit in the event boundary, Temporary Obstruction Permit for the event boundary, and the parking meter fees on the closed streets o Suspension of enforcement of ordinance 17.16, minors on certain premises. We would require minors to be present with an adult. By bringing residents to Downtown Ames for attractions such as this, Ames Main Street is able to fulfill its mission as a Main Street Iowa community and create an economically vibrant downtown with unique living, dining, and entertainment experiences. Thank you for your consideration of this request and continued support of Ames Main Street. We look forward to seeing celebrating 515 Day!

This approach ensures compliance with IRS regulations while providing financial flexibility for large-scale capital projects. As directed by the Council, the City plans to finance the improvements to the Prairie View 161 kV Substation and Prairie View 161 kV Line Expansion. To maximize financial flexibility as the project progresses, staff recommends that the Council approve the attached reimbursement resolution, authorizing a maximum principal amount of $4,000,000 for the Prairie View 161 kV Substation and $4,150,000 for the Prairie View 161 kV Line Expansion. THE REIMBURSEMENT RESOLUTION PROCESS: If approved, the following process would be utilized to fund the project: Declaration of Intent: Before issuing revenue bonds, the municipality adopts a resolution affirming its intent to reimburse itself for eligible project expenditures (this action). Project Expenditures: The City begins covering costs such as design, engineering, and early construction using available cash or short-term financing. Bond Issuance: Once key approvals are secured and the project is ready for bidding, the City issues revenue bonds to finance construction. Reimbursement Allocation: After the bonds are issued, proceeds are used to reimburse the City for initial expenditures, ensuring accurate accounting and IRS compliance. Documentation & Compliance: The reimbursement process must be formally documented in the City's records. Bond proceeds can only be used for eligible expenses, and reimbursement must occur within 18 months of the expenditure or project completion, as per IRS rules. By approving this reimbursement resolution, the City ensures maximum financial flexibility to advance this critical project without delay, allowing the City to secure cost- effective financing while maintaining compliance with federal tax regulations. 72 ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the resolution allowing the City to incur expenses with the potential for future reimbursement through a revenue bond issuance. 2. Do not approve the resolution and direct staff to proceed with a bond issuance to support the funding necessary to make construct the improvements. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The proposed resolution enables the City to cover expenses for the Prairie View 161 kV Substation and Prairie View 161 kV Line Expansion for the City's Electric Utility while maintaining compliance with federal reimbursement regulations. Additionally, it provides the greatest amount of financial flexibility, which is important given the project's preliminary/developmental stage. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve Alternative No. 1, as described above. 73 ITEM #:12 DATE:02-24-26 DEPT:P&H SUBJECT:LAND PURCHASE OPTION FOR SURPLUS LAND AT HARRISON AND WELBECK - AMENDMENT TO EXTEND FINAL PLAT DEADLINE COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: O n May 27, the City Council held a public hearing to approve an option agreement with Keystone Equity Group (KEG) for the purchase of surplus City land located west of the intersection of Harrison Road and Welbeck Drive (see Location Map). The agreement requires that, prior to completion of the sale of the land, a development agreement must be approved for the construction of 12 owner-occupied homes on the property and approval of state Workforce Housing Tax credits for the project must be obtained. In addition, the agreement required that the developer must complete all entitlements for development of the 12-unit project, including Final Plat approval by December 31, 2025. However, the City Council approved an amendment on December 16 extending the deadline to February 28 as the developer completed the entitlement process. City Council approved the preliminary plat and first reading of an ordinance rezoning the site to RL-O-PUD on January 27, 2026. The third reading of the rezoning ordinance is on the February 24 agenda. City staff has been working with the developer to finalize a development agreement and final plat documents. The final plat documents have not yet been submitted for review and approval. The developer has requested additional time to complete all requirements related to preparing the final plat and the development agreement. Although staff has been working with the applicant to complete this process as planned, the final legal documents are not yet complete. Extending the deadline for Final Plat approval to March 31, 2026, approximately 30 days, is needed for the project to move forward as planned. The Developer has invested substantially in seeing this project through and is agreeable to this timeline to complete the project. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the attached amendment to the Option Agreement extending the deadline to March 31. Note the developer will need to fully execute the Option Agreement to allow for it to be recorded. 2. Make modifications to the timeline and approve the amendment to the Option Agreement. 3. Deny approval of the amendment to the Option Agreement and maintain the deadline of Final Plat approval of February 28, 2026. 74 CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The extension is needed to fulfill the original terms of the Option Agreement steps for approval of a project and the sale of the property. Initially, the award of state tax credits was delayed beyond the anticipated timeframe of notice that was contemplated with the original option agreement causing some delay for the developer to proceed. The developer has submitted development plans consistent with the agreement, and received approvals of the preliminary plat, but the final plat and development agreement cannot be approved in the agreement's timeframe. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative 1, as described above.

NOTARY PUBLIC 78 Passed and approved on , 2026, by Resolution No. 26- adopted by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa. CITY OF AMES, IOWA By: John A.

Haila and Renee Hall, as Mayor and City Clerk, respectively, of the City of Ames, Iowa. NOTARY PUBLIC 79 ITEM #:13 DATE:02-24-26 DEPT:P&H SUBJECT:THIRD AMENDMENT TO RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS DESIGNATING AFFORDABLE AND MARKET RATE HOUSING LOTS FOR BAKER SUBDIVISION COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: In 2016, the City used its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to purchase a 10+ acre parcel of land now known as the Baker Subdivision. To develop the site for mixed- income households rather than exclusively as low- and moderate-income housing, the City sought and received approval from HUD to create the area as a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA) designation. Under NRSA regulations, for any housing construction activities that are undertaken, 51% of the housing units have to benefit households with incomes at or below 80% of the Area Median Income Limits. With the goal in mind of a mixed-income development, the intent of the Council was to provide 51% of the single-family home lots as low and moderate-income affordable housing sites and for the remainder to be market-rate lots. The subdivision final plat created 26 single-family home lots, and covenants were approved that identified which lots were restricted for affordable housing and which lots were to be market-rate (see attachment of the identified market-rate lots). The approved covenants identified 15 affordable lots and 11 market-rate lots, which is 57% of the total lots as affordable. Staff recently identified a miscalculation for the number of market rate lots; the calculation should have been 12, rather than 11. This would change one designated affordable lot to a market-rate lot. Staff would like to correct this number so that it is reflected in the subdivision covenants before proceeding with selling any of the remaining lots in the subdivision. This change would also align with how the project has been routinely described in City reports about the project, including the Annual Action Plan and CAPER. The City's legal department has prepared the attached Third Amendment to the Restrictive Covenants for the Baker Subdivision to designate Lot 13 as a market-rate lot. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve a Third Amendment to Restrictive Covenants for Baker Subdivision, Ames, Iowa, to create one additional market-rate lot for a total of 12 and reduce the affordable housing designated lots to 14. 2. Do not approve an amendment to Restrictive Covenants for Baker Subdivision, Ames, Iowa, thereby keeping 15 affordable lots and 11 market-rate lots. 80 CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approving this action would allow the City to be consistent with the number of market- rate lots of 12 that have been identified throughout the City CDBG reporting documents. The remaining 14 affordable lots would still represent 54% of the total single-family lots. It is therefore the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #1, as described above.

The Restrictive Covenants are Amended in the following manner: The property located at 232 South Wilmoth Avenue, Ames, Iowa, which is legally known as Lot 13, Baker Subdivision, Ames, Iowa, shall no longer be designated an Affordable Rate (AR) lot and shall hereafter be designated a Market Rate (MR) lot.

NOTARY PUBLIC 84 ITEM #:14 DATE:02-24-26 DEPT:PW SUBJECT:APPROVAL OF THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FOR KINGSBURY'S FIFTH ADDITION LOTS 1 THROUGH 4 COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: Lots 1 through 4 of the Kingbury's Fifth Addition Subdivision are transferring ownership. The previous owner, WW Holdings, has a public improvement agreement with the City of Ames to construct required public infrastructure along with previously proposed development on the lots. The public infrastructure was partially completed. These lots are located north of Target along SE 3rd Street, and are being sold to Food at First. The change in ownership of the lots will still require the remainder of the public improvements to accompany the newly proposed development on the lots. The new owners will assume the responsibility for completing the remaining public improvements. The new owners will post financial security with the City to ensure completion of the required improvements. The purpose of this action is to approve the third supplemental agreement for public improvements to ensure that the public improvement responsibility is properly transferred from WW Holdings Corporation to Food at First. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the following: a. The third supplemental agreement to transfer responsibility for public improvements from WW Holdings Corporation to Food at First. b. Release the remainder of the financial security that is being held for WW Holdings Corporation. c. The financial security for the remainder of the public improvements for Food at First. 2. Direct staff to amend the agreement. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: By approving this agreement, the responsibility for the public improvements will transfer to the new property owner and the financial security being held by the previous owner can be released by the City of Ames. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above.

The purpose of the creation of the Urban Revitalization Area was to incentivize Furniture Mart USA to construct a new building by providing Tax Abatement of the value of their new retail store at 329 Southeast 5th Street (See Attachment B- Urban Revitalization Plan). Furniture Mart has completed construction of their new retail store and has applied to receive Property Tax Abatement from the City Council as required in the Urban Revitalization Plan. In conjunction with the application for certification of compliance, Furniture Mart is required under State law to have a Minimum Assessment Agreement approved by the City Council order to set the agreed upon assessed value of the building to be applied to the abatement (See Attachment C-Minimum Assessment Agreement and Application). The applicant initially described an investment value of $7 million for the store when first requesting the tax abatement incentive. The proposed minimum assessment agreement is based upon a minimum value of $7 million. The developer in their application for tax abatement notes that the actual building permit valuation was $9 million. The City Assessor is yet to assign a value to the property, but has independently reviewed the proposed minimum assessment based on the valuation of the new Furniture Mart store and agrees that the $7 million value is a reasonable valuation. Approval of the Property Tax Abatement Application and Minimum Assessment Agreement will allow the City Assessor to formally sign off on the certification of value and allow Furniture Mart to receive property tax abatement for five years on a sliding scale consistent with the URA. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the minimum assessment agreement and application for a five year partial property tax abatement for Furniture Mart USA at 329 Southeast 5th Street. 2. Direct staff to modify the minimum assessment agreement and conditionally approve the request for a five year partial property tax abatement for Furniture Mart USA. 3. Deny the application for tax abatement by finding that the application is not consistent with the Urban Revitalization Plan. 91 CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Furniture Mart completed construction of the store in November. The building and use are consistent with the minimum parameters of the Urban Revitalization Plan. Furniture Mart has completed an application for Property Tax Abatement and a Minimum Assessment Agreement has been drafted and agreed to between City staff and Furniture Mart representatives based on the requirements of the Urban Revitalization Plan. This tax abatement incentive was instrumental in enticing the construction of a furniture store in Ames which addresses a known sales tax leakage c a t e g o r y. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve Alternative No. 1.

The building was constructed in 1990 and houses the City's Water Meter Division on the ground floor and the Laboratory Services Division on the second floor. The adopted FY 2025/26 Capital Improvements Plan includes $2 million to complete the renovation project, with funding coming equally from the Water and Sewer Funds. The planned scope of work will include: 1. Replacing the failed elements of the buildings heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems 2. Replacing damaged and stained ceiling tiles 3. Replacing the disparate lighting fixtures throughout the building 4. Repair or replacement of windows 5. A general refresh of floors and wall coverings throughout. The HVAC and lighting work will be guided by the recently completed Energy Audit Report for the building. Also planned is some manner of a limited-use lift for moving staff and equipment to the second floor laboratory. A four-member team reviewed and scored the 10 submittals received. A copy of the scores and summary of the fee proposals is attached. The selection process was as follows: Each of the four staff members independently scored the ten submissions. The individual scores were then compiled and averaged together, and the staff team met to discuss the relative strengths and weaknesses of each submission. Only after the staff team had ranked the submissions in order of preference, the fee proposal envelopes were opened. The evaluation of the fees was based on the qualitative questions "Does the fee seem appropriate for the scope of work?" and "Are the fees in line with what other firms proposed for the same scope?" The top two ranked firms were invited to participate in an in-person interview to discuss their proposals in greater depth. Following the interviews, staff felt that both of the top two firms were well qualified and had provided proposals that met the needs of the project. The deciding factor ultimately ended up being the significant difference in the fee proposals, which a difference of $102,300. Staff confirmed with SVPA that they were confident in their ability to complete the project for the fee they had proposed. For that reason, staff selected SVPA as the preferred firm. A contract with SVPA to provide the requested 107 services is now ready for Council approval. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Award a contract to SVPA Architects of West Des Moines, IA for the Technical Services Complex (TSC) Renovation Project in the amount of $157,500. 2. Direct staff to negotiate a contract with one of the other proposing firms. 3. Do not take action at this time and provide direction to staff on next steps for the project. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The adopted FY 2025/26 Capital Improvements Plan includes funding for a renovation of the TSC building. Staff conducted a Request for Proposals that follows the City's Purchasing Policies. A mutually acceptable contract has been negotiated with the firm identified by staff as being fully responsive and fiscally responsible. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #1, as described above.

Haila, Mayor (Printed name and title) (Printed name, title, and license number, if required) 133 ITEM #:17 DATE:02-24-26 DEPT:P&R SUBJECT:PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT FOR PARKVIEW PARK COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: Park playground equipment is replaced approximately every twenty years according to a replacement plan maintained by City staff. Because some equipment gets used more than others, staff annually reviews all playground equipment to determine the condition of each piece of equipment and whether it should be replaced. After each review, staff recommends which structures should be included in the five-year Capital Improvements Plan (CIP). The playground equipment in Parkview Park, 1730 Buchanan Court, was included in the FY 2025/26 CIP for replacement. Please note there are two playground locations in Parkview Park. One is located at the north end of the park, and one is located at the south end. The equipment at the north end is the location that is up for replacement. Staff sent a Request for Proposals (RFP) to qualified playground equipment representatives, inviting them to submit proposals to replace the playground equipment in Parkview Park. The RFP stated that $64,000 was available for playground equipment and installation. Staff received multiple proposals and evaluated them based on the following criteria: safety; play features including balancing, spinning, sliding, climbing and swinging components; site compatibility; accessibility and inclusivity; supports physical, cognitive, and emotional/social development; cost vs. relative play value; unique play features; and aesthetics compared to existing structures within the park, as well as the overall park system. Six vendors submitted proposals: 1. Boland Recreation, Marshalltown, Iowa 2. Play-Pro Recreation, Clive, Iowa 3. BCI Burke Company, Inc., North Fond du Lac, Wisconsin 4. Crouch Recreation, Elkhorn, Nebraska 5. J. Oliver Construction, LLC., Kansas City, Kansas 6. Midwest Playscapes Inc., Des Moines, Iowa A total of nine (9) proposals were submitted with each including equipment and installation at a proposed cost of $64,000. PUBLIC OUTREACH: Staff evaluated the multiple proposals received and selected five options (Attachment A) from BCI Burke Company, Boland Recreation, Crouch Recreation, and Play-Pro Recreation to present for public feedback. Residents were asked to provide feedback on the playground proposals through a survey that was included in the weekly Parks and Recreation E- newsletter that is distributed to over 13,000 email addresses. The survey link was also posted on social media. 134 In total, 164 results were received. Survey results indicate that respondents favored the options in the following order: Option 4 (61) Play-Pro Recreation Option 5 (47) Play-Pro Recreation Option 2 (25) Boland Recreation Option 1 (16) BCI Burke Company Option 3 (15) Crouch Recreation The survey also asked residents if they lived within walking distance of the park. Of the respondents, 77 individuals (47%) lived within walking distance of the park. BUDGET: There is $75,500 budgeted for a new playground structure, swings, concrete playground border, and engineered wood fiber surfacing. The approximate cost for the total project is $75,000, which includes $64,000 for the equipment and $11,000 for the concrete playground border and surfacing. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Award a contract to Play-Pro Recreation, Clive, Iowa, to purchase and install playground equipment, Option 4, for Parkview Park in the amount of $64,000. 2. Award a contract to Play-Pro Recreation, Clive, Iowa, to purchase and install playground equipment, Option 5, for Parkview Park, in the amount of $64,000. 3. Award a contract to Boland Recreation, Marshalltown, Iowa, to purchase and install playground equipment, Option 2, for Parkview Park in the amount of $64,000. 4. Do not award a contract. 5. Refer this item back to staff for further information CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Residents of Ames, year after year, rate the playgrounds in the parks good or very good over ninety percent of the time. In an effort to keep playground equipment safe and enjoyable, they need to be replaced on a periodic basis. The playground in Parkview Park is due for replacement. Based feedback from staff and residents, Option 4 is the most desired playground equipment proposal. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #1 as noted above.

These modifications are the first of two construction phases that will ultimately enable the facility to achieve the goals of the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy. As is common with large construction contracts, this project has required multiple change orders. To date, seven change orders have been approved for a combined total reduction in the contract price of $157,234.77. Details regarding the scope and amounts of each change order are outlined below in Table 1. An eighth change order has been prepared and is ready for Council approval. It includes six individual changes to the construction documents. The most notable item is a cost difference credit for work that was previously approved under Change Order #6. In that change order, Council approved an allowance not to exceed $115,247.35 to relocate a water line that was found to be in a different location than anticipated. The work was done on a time-and-material basis that ultimately totaled only $79,597. Item 8c on this change order is to release the $35,650.35 that was not used. Item 8b on this change order is for changes to exterior door hardware. The style specified was not the style staff was anticipating. The engineer has agreed to provide a credit on their next invoice to offset the cost of the contract change ($5,499.33). Other items in this change order include: relocating an overhead door in the maintenance garage; adding an automatic door opener to the exterior door leading into the mud room; adding corner guards throughout the administration building; and substituting a different style of programmable logic controller. Combined, the total of all six items in Change Order No. 8 is an increase to the construction contract of $3,841.91. The additional offsetting credit from the engineer for the door hardware results in a net decrease to the overall project cost of $1,657.42. Table 1: Change Order Summary Change Order #1 Credit for Enviromix, fire alarms, canopy; reroute gate power circuit; expansion joint changes.

It should be noted that the SRF program is a reimbursement program, meaning that the City first spends the money, then the program reimburses for eligible expenses. This method ensures the City will only borrow for expenses the City Council has authorized and are necessary to complete the project, thus minimizing interest expense associated with the improvements. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve Change Order #8 to the contract with Woodruff Construction for the Water Pollution Control Facility Nutrient Reduction Modifications Phase 1 Project in the amount of $3,841.91. 2. Do not approve the change order. This would reject the recommended changes to the contract documents. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The proposed changes are to maintain and improve the reliability and function of the Water Pollution Control Plant Modifications. The consultant, contractor, and City staff have worked closely together to come up with reasonable, cost-effective recommendations. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative 1 as described above.

The report documents that the City has met the requirements of the CLG program and is in good standing. The report also includes a proposed Work Plan for 2026 (Attachment B). SHPO requires that an HPC representative provide details of the HPC's 2025 accomplishments and the Work Plan for 2026 to the City Council, followed by the Mayor acknowledging completion of this requirement. The Ames Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) met on December 8, 2025 and January 12, 2026, to develop and approve a recommended 2026 Work Plan based upon the Ames Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan Goals and Objectives (updated in 2021). The HPC also documented its accomplishments for 2025. Attached is the portion of the CLG Report that addresses the accomplishments, successes, and challenges of the previous calendar year (2025). With City Council’s approval of the CLG report, the 2026 Work Plan will also be approved. It does not include any specific requests for funding beyond the annual $2,000 appropriation for awards, outreach, and education. The 2026 Work Plan focuses on the following items: 1. Secure a speaker to address tax credit opportunities for historic properties in Ames. 2. Look for ways to engage the community to inform property owners about how the historic review process works. 3. Collaborate again with the Ames History Museum to host a second "Glimpse Inside" event, a tour of historic properties and architecture, in 2026. 4. Facilitate the dissemination of historic preservation information. 5. Consider changes to historic material requirements for substitute materials and for replacement of non-compliant materials The education items are work tasks for the Commission to undertake with staff administrative support as needed. The HPC likely will utilize subcommittees to address some of the tasks in the Work Plan. Many of the items on the Work Plan are consistent with prior initiatives. HPC had a concern about disclosure of historic requirements in relation to Old Town and added a specific measures to investigate what can be done in coordination with the Neighborhood Association and Realtors. 201 Item #5 is potentially a significant initiative based upon the discussion by the Commission of their interest to create more flexibility in relation to applying design criteria and guidelines focused on historic materials. Historic materials requirement is a foundational requirement of the structure of Chapter 31 that applies to all contributing resources and types of alterations, e.g., siding, windows, doors, etc., unless a stated exception as a substitute material is allowed. In general the Commission has discussed revising the overall requirements of Chapter 31 in the past, but at this time the discussion focused on the the application of specific design standards related to historic materials, with the most common examples being window materials and siding materials. Staff believes that due to the complex nature of this issue and the likely significant neighborhood interest in the issue, this type of project would require prioritization by City Council in the Planning Division Work Plan to define the Council's interest in this issue, staff resources, and the process that it would employ for stakeholder involvement. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the 2025 accomplishments of the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) and the Work Plan for 2026, as described in the 2025 Certified Local Government Report and direct the Mayor to acknowledge presentation of the report and authorize the report to be submitted to the State. Note that subsequent Planning Division Work Plan prioritization by City Council would apply to significant Chapter 31 updates. 2. Direct staff to modify the Work Plan. 3. Refer the Work Plan and Report back to the HPC for additional information. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The HPC has documented its accomplishments for 2025 and has developed a 2026 Work Plan that represents its priorities for the current calendar year. The Work Plan focuses on resources utilized by the HPC. Most of the work can be accomplished within current budgets and support levels, with the exception of any expectation for significant neighborhood engagement regarding significant changes to Chapter 31. Approval of the Work Plan with the understanding that Chapter 31 updates regarding Item 5 above would require more discussion with the Council and prioritization would be acceptable to comply with CLG requirements. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve Alternative #1, as described above.

[Objective 5.C.2, ACHPP] 209 ITEM #:21 DEPT:P&H February 24, 2026 Staff Report REQUEST FROM THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION REGARDING WINDOWS AND INFILL OF OPENINGS BACKGROUND: On December 16, 2025, City Council referred to staff two zoning text amendment requests from the Ames Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) (see Attachment). The requests pertain to Double Pane Windows and Infill of Openings: Double Pane Windows: The first requested change includes explicitly stating that double pane windows are allowed as an acceptable window type to increase energy efficiency of historic structures and including definitions for Double Pane Windows, Multi-Pane Windows, and Muntin Bar. Currently, Chapter 31 does not explicitly allow or disallow double pane windows, nor are there added definitions for clarity when referencing window details. The current regulations applied by staff focus on use of historic materials for windows and do not address multi-pane window types. Staff's understanding is that the current window design criteria and guidelines would still apply. However, the change would essentially allow for double pane windows without consideration of the of the standard of repair of existing versus replacement. Staff researched the requested changes and provided the initial findings to the HPC in October before the Commission formulated its recommendations. The communities that staff consulted with, Iowa City and Dubuque, did not have historic preservation guideline language regarding double pane windows; instead, they prioritized the retention and repair of original windows, as well as non-invasive weatherization techniques to increase energy efficiency versus replacement. It is staff’s understanding that the HPC requests are not intended to alter the existing historic requirements, but to allow increased energy efficiency when they otherwise meet the historic material and profile requirements of an appropriate window. The structure, form and materials should be sensitively treated to preserve the building’s character. Depending on how the double pane window language is written, the priority of historic character vs. modern window design will be defined. Infill of Openings: The second request is to amend Chapter 31 to provide clear guidance related to when, or whether, to allow for the infill of window openings. An example of this issue would be someone wanting to fill in a window as part of remodeling project of a room. 210 The request to address this issue follows the Commission’s review of a Certificate of Appropriateness where the Commission found that Chapter 31 does not provide standards or guidance on window removal or infill to make an adequate decision. There was a mixed history of whether to approve or deny such requests as precedence for the decision. Before making this request, the HPC considered language from other cities, and believes that addressing the issue directly would be appropriate to assist homeowners with understanding what alterations would be permissible. The Commission requests to add specific window infill language stating when window removal or infill is appropriate, as well as specifying that any window infill must be architecturally consistent with the historical structure. Staff also reviewed language from Iowa City related to how infill of openings may be permitted by the HPC and reviewed this with the HPC in October. OPTIONS: Option 1. Direct staff to prepare a Text Amendment to allow double pane windows in historic districts as well as add and revise definitions to add clarity on Double Pane Windows, Multi Pane Windows, and Muntin Bar. Council could amend Chapter 31 to explicitly allow double pane windows and improve or add definitions. During a text amendment process final language and guidance regarding how to apply it would be developed. Option 2. Direct staff to prepare a Text Amendment to add code language regarding the removal and infill of windows. This option would provide clear guidelines to Chapter 31 regarding the removal or infill of windows. The HPC has reviewed several applications for window infill over the years and has a mixed history of approving or denying applications. The request looks to provide language that would provide a consistent approach and determination. During a text amendment process final language and guidance on the removal or infill of windows with the limits of meeting the historic materials and character defining feature requirements would be developed. The intent is to apply guidance allowing window infill to side and rear facades, but not front facades. Infill could be approved on an historic side or rear façade if it met the guidelines. Option 3. Direct staff to prepare a Text Amendment to allow double pane windows AND address removal and infill of windows. Council could amend Chapter 31 to allow the requested changes from both Option 1 and Option 2. Option 4. Make No Changes at This Time If the Council is satisfied with City standards within Chapter 31, Historic Preservation Districts , or finds the requests to allow alterations that would negatively impact the historic district, no 211 change is required. Under this option, the Historic Preservation Commission will continue to review applications on a case-by-case basis and only allow changes that will not be harmful to the historic character of the district. Window changeouts would be subject to the current standards, and if they are met could still allow for new double pane windows. Infill of openings is less clear regarding whether it is permitted, but based on past practice it could be considered by the HPC without well defined standards. STAFF COMMENTS: Enhanced energy efficiency and reviewing Chapter 31 are designated Historic Preservation Commission tasks from its 2025 Work Plan. Through Commission research and applying the existing guidelines when reviewing Certificate of Appropriateness applications, the HPC has identified areas of desired improvement. The existing guidelines do not explicitly disallow or allow double pane windows, nor do they provide the Commission, or staff, with clear direction regarding window removal and infill. If double pane windows were allowed, the added definitions would provide increased clarity regarding the differing window features to ensure there is no confusion by the new term within the code. While increasing energy efficiency and identifying areas of improvement within the Code are important goals of the Commission, all historic structure alteration shall maintain the existing historic character whenever possible. However, staff has not found in its initial research that allowing double-pane windows is a recommended alteration to a historic structure because it may modify the original character. This issue will be subject to more review of language if the text amendment is initiated. The removal or infill of windows was allowed by other communities when specific criteria had been met relating to the location of the window. The HPC informed staff that its intent is not to provide guidelines or language that would directly conflict with the goal to preserve, but to allow alterations that may help improve a structure when it is appropriate to do so. A representative of the HPC will be present to discuss the proposal with the City Council at the February 24 meeting. If City Council decides to proceed with any text amendment, two steps must be decided. The first is to decide what level of input from the public is necessary before adopting new standards. As a text amendment, no specific public notice is required other than a published newspaper notice. Staff believes that at a minimum, a mailing to all properties in the Old Town Historic District prior to review by the HPC of final text would be expected. Council could also direct that a neighborhood meeting be held prior to presenting final text amendment language to the HPC. The second issue is the timing of starting the text amendment process. Council will have also seen the proposed HPC workplan for the upcoming year before making a decision regarding this request. Council could determine to proceed with the text amendment process in May, or wait to review it in relation to other P&H workplan priorities at an upcoming Council meeting on April 14. 212 ATTACHMENT(S): 2025-12-04 HPC Memorandum to City Council.pdf 213 MEMORANDUM TO: Ames City Council FROM: Historic Preservation Commission SUBJECT: Chapter 31 Revision Support DATE: December 4, 2025 The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) respectfully requests the City Council to authorize the Planning and Housing Department staff to draft proposed revisions to Chapter 31 of the Municipal Code relating to energy efficiency and window infill. Energy Efficiency As part of HPC’s 2025 Work Plan, we sought to review Chapter 31 and consider changes to “allow exterior materials on historic structures that would meet the standards and be energy efficient,” in accordance with Goal #3 of the Ames Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan (ACHPP). We created a subcommittee and identified potential revisions pertaining to energy efficiency, outlined below. Our proposed changes concern the explicit allowance of double-layer insulated glass (also known as double-pane glass) for windows. While the code doesn't explicitly prohibit these items, we believe the code should explicitly allow these items to eliminate any ambiguity. We propose the following additions be made to Section 31.13(13): ● That double-layer insulated glazing is explicitly permitted in windows. An item (k) can be added that reads as follows (or similar): ○ (k) Windows containing double-layer insulated glazing (also known as double-pane glass) shall be permitted. We note that the inclusion of "double-pane glass" in the suggestion above may create confusion with the meaning of the word "pane," which is used throughout Section 31.14 to refer to the glass in a window sash (see Section 31.14(1)(c)(vii) for a description of Colonial Revival windows having a "multi-pane sash"). Because "multi-pane” and “double-pane” mean different things, we want to provide clarity and consistency between the Design Guidelines and the Design Criteria. We therefore propose the following changes: ● Revise the definition of “muntin bar” in Section 31.2(22) to be as follows (or similar): ○ Muntin Bar: a strip dividing a single window sash or casement into a grid system of smaller panes of glass, called “lights” or “lites.” ● Add items (33) and (34) to Section 31.2 to provide definitions for “double-pane” and “multi-pane” windows as follows (or similar): ○ (33) Double-Pane Windows: Windows containing two layers of glass, separated by a space to reduce heat transfer and provide insulation (also known as double-layer insulated glazing) 214 ○ (34) Multi-Pane Windows: Windows wherein a sash or casement is divided by muntin bars into multiple panes or “lights,” creating a grid system of smaller panes of glass ● Revise the description for windows under the Queen Anne Design Criteria in Section 31.14(1)(b)(vii) to be as follows (revision italicized): ○ (vii) Windows Vertical emphasis. Double hung. Window sash with single undivided pane. Trim 4" to 6". Window Infill One of the duties of the HPC is to review Certificates of Appropriateness (COAs) for new construction, alteration, demolition, or relocation of contributing structures in the Old Town Historic Preservation District. In the past year, we encountered a COA application for which Chapter 31 provided inadequate direction. This COA concerned the removal and infill of a window on a contributing structure, and we found that the code lacked any provisions to help guide our decision. It is for this reason that we are seeking Planning staff support to draft language pertaining to window removal and infill. In our research, we found that the Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook provides guidelines for when a window is to be relocated or removed/infilled, and we wish to establish similar language in the Ames Municipal Code. It is possible that the revision could be a single line provision under “windows” in Section 31.13(13), but it is paramount that the infill of a removed window be consistent with the architectural style, and we want to ensure that the language that is added is done thoughtfully and thoroughly. The assistance we are requesting from staff may warrant a review of other cities’ Historic Preservation code sections or discussions with their planning staff and HPCs to understand how they handle such alterations. With this in mind, we request that the City Council authorize adding the following to the Planning and Housing Department’s work plan for 2026: ● Research Assistance: Review other cities’ historic preservation ordinances and information available from the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions (or other preservation organizations) that pertain to window removal and infill. ● Draft Sample Provision(s): Research and propose sample language from these resources to use in drafting revisions to Section 31.13(13) In summary, we believe that revising provisions in Chapter 31 to include energy efficient materials and to address window removal and infill will improve the regulatory efficiency of the historic preservation ordinance and provide residents with more clarity with respect to alterations to their historic structures. With the help of City Planning staff, we hope to complete this project by the end of calendar year 2026. Thank you for your consideration and support. 215 ITEM #:22 DATE:02-24-26 DEPT:PW SUBJECT:RESIDENTIAL CURBSIDE RECYCLING PROGRAM CONTRACT COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: The City plans to transition away from waste-to-energy and into the Resource Recovery and Recycling Campus (R3C) in early 2027. Because a significant part of the community's landfill avoidance goals are currently met through waste-to-energy, greater opportunities for recycling will be necessary to achieve meaningful landfill avoidance once waste-to-energy concludes. In addition to being better for the environment, the cost to dispose of recycling is less on a per- ton basis compared to landfilling the same amount of material. Therefore, recycling is an important tool in order to keep overall solid waste disposal costs low. On August 12, 2025, staff presented a report to the City Council outlining these issues and describing the need for a residential curbside recycling program in Ames (click here for the August 12, 2025 report). Following that discussion, on November 8, 2025, the City Council received the results of a community survey regarding recycling (click here for the November 8, 2025 report). At that time, the City Council directed staff to initiate a request for proposal (RFP) for a residential curbside recycling collection contractor. SCOPE OF SERVICES: The scope of the RFP was to provide curbside recycling collection service for 13,731 residences. The included residences are all the single-family homes and multi-family properties in Ames containing up to four units. The vendor was asked to furnish 96-gallon carts to each residence in June 2026, with each residence being serviced on an every-other- week basis starting July 1. Materials collected include mixed paper, corrugated cardboard, glass (food and beverage containers), #1 and #2 plastic, and metals. The selected hauler would transport the materials to a facility designated by the City (a recycling facility in Des Moines for the first year, then the R3C once it becomes operational). The City would be responsible for the costs of disposal of the recyclable materials. The RFP requires that collection vehicles be outfitted with vehicle location systems and cameras to document collection issues. A preference was expressed for alternative fuels to be used by collection vehicles. The costs for the collection contract will be billed to the City. The collection, disposal, and other program costs will then be billed to individual customers on their monthly City utility bills. Although the target customer base for this service is residential customers, the RFP requested that the vendors allow commercial customers to sign up for service through the City at the same pricing if they can also be serviced with a 96-gallon cart. Additionally, the RFP contained a list of City facilities that would be provided service at no additional charge. In order to assist Resource Recovery System (RRS) partners in exploring their options for 216 recycling service, the RFP requested pricing for each vendor to provide similar services to each individual RRS community. Each RRS community may choose to enter into a contract with the selected hauler at the pricing that was quoted through this RFP. However, there is no obligation for any of the communities to do so, and they are free to issue their own RFP or implement their own recycling initiatives. Pricing was requested for a five-year initial contract term, with a base rate proposed by each vendor for each year of the contract. The base rate is eligible to be adjusted up or down on a monthly basis using an industry standard fuel index. At the conclusion of the five-year contract, the 96-gallon carts become the property of the City. The carts have been specified to meet ANSI standards, so they can be utilized by automated collection equipment that is standard in the industry in the event that the City chooses to contract with another provider at the conclusion of the initial contract term. The carts will not be branded with the hauler details, but instead will contain logos and information specific to Ames' curbside recycling program. PROPOSAL EVALUATION: The RFP was issued on December 11, 2025. On January 16, 2026, responses were received from five vendors. A team consisting of representatives of the Public Works Department and City Manager's Office evaluated the proposals. In addition to their written responses, each firm furnished one or more carts for evaluation by City staff. Proposals were evaluated on the basis of: 1. Qualifications and experience with recyclable waste collection and disposal. Customer service provided to past and current customers and references. 2. Adequacy of the proposed materials, equipment, timeline, and services to meet the City’s needs. 3. Compliance with the draft Contract provided in the RFP 4. Organization, clarity, completeness, and responsiveness to the RFP. 5. Proposed fees (only City of Ames fees were considered in the evaluation). Scores from the initial evaluation were as follows: Firm Proposal Merits Proposal Cost Initial Evaluation TOTAL Ankeny Sanitation, Inc. Ankeny, IA 1170 655 1825 Aspen Waste Systems of Iowa, Inc.

Des Moines, IA 1230 560 1790 Following the initial evaluation, the three top-scoring firms were invited to participate in an interview to further discuss their proposals. Interviews were scored on the basis of: 1. Adequacy of the implementation process 2. Approach to customer service 3. Use of technology, equipment, and communications to minimize contamination 4. Willingness to collaborate to meet the City's program goals. The combination of the initial evaluation (including the merits and pricing points) and the interview scores resulted in the following total scores: Firm Initial Evaluation TOTAL Interview TOTAL COMBINED TOTAL SCORE Ankeny Sanitation, Inc. Ankeny, IA 1825 1870 3695 Aspen Waste Systems of Iowa, Inc. Ames, IA 2125 1770 3895 Waste Management of Iowa, Inc. Des Moines, IA 1790 1980 3770 Based on the results of the interviews, staff is recommending that the City enter into a five-year agreement with Aspen Waste Systems of Iowa, Inc., of Ames, Iowa. Aspen emphasized its willingness to work with customers to address issues that may arise, such as material that is incorrectly set out for collection. Aspen will prepare a dedicated portion of its website for Ames recycling customers. Additionally, Aspen will utilize its existing Ames customer contact list to distribute information about the transition to a city-wide recycling program, and is willing to send city-wide mailings to supplement the planned City-paid mailings about the transition to the single curbside hauler. Among the responding vendors, Aspen is the only one that would base its operations out of Ames. This provides the opportunity for any collection issues to be remedied within a few hours rather than the next day. Additionally, Aspen has offered to provide house-side service for any customers with mobility issues who would have difficulty bringing their cart to the curb for collection. The driver will walk up to the house, take the cart to the truck, empty it, and return the cart house-side. This service would be provided for customers who require it at no additional charge. Aspen provided a unique alternative proposal for the other communities in Story County: in addition to offering curbside collection pricing, Aspen provided pricing to fabricate custom centralized drop-off boxes for each community and charge on a per- haul basis rather than monthly. 218 Finally, Aspen's proposed monthly per-customer fee is the lowest among the responding firms, and remains consistently the lowest throughout the five-year duration of the contract. Aspen has indicated that for its existing recycling service customers in Ames (approximately 1,000), their carts will be collected and their recycling service will cease shortly before the start of the City's new recycling service on July 1. These customers will then receive new, City- branded recycling carts and will be picked up by the City's billing for curbside recycling. PROPOSED MONTHLY PRICING: The fee that would be charged to each eligible customer for curbside recycling consists of a combination of three main components: 1. The collection contract cost (includes the hauler's cost to provide carts and collection, which is roughly half of the total cost of providing the service) 2. Disposal costs (fees charged by the endpoint recycler plus the City's facility expenses and transportation from the R3C to the endpoint recycler in later years of the contract), and 3. Administrative costs (such as billing/customer service staff time, promotion/education, and a buffer to absorb some short-term fuel cost fluctuations). Aspen provided per-household pricing for a five-year contract term. The first year pricing reflects hauling the collected materials to a facility in Des Moines or to the R3C (if open before July 1, 2027). The second and subsequent years include pricing for hauling to the R3C only. The first-year calculated collection contract cost with Aspen is $659,088. Staff performed financial modeling to project the necessary fee to operate the curbside recycling service. It must be emphasized that modeling is not a guarantee of the future conditions. There are several variables outside the City's control that could affect the fee that is needed to provide the service in the future. These include changes in fuel costs, recyclable commodity prices, the construction bids for the R3C and their impact on debt service expenses, and operating costs for the R3C. In order to adequately pay for the program expenses and reduce the risk of larger increases to the recycling fee being necessary, City staff is recommending that the per- customer fee for recycling services be set at $7.75 per month (or $3.88 per collection), effective July 1, 2026. Staff will evaluate the program during the budget preparation process each fall and make a recommendation regarding the appropriate fee for each subsequent year. Disposal fees charged in other Iowa communities are provided in the attachment as a reference. It is important to note that the collection contract requires that Aspen receive its collection fee for all eligible customers, not just the participating ones. Otherwise, it would be extremely challenging to estimate for the potential number of customers who would opt out, and that risk would translate to higher prices for the customers who choose to participate. 219 Similarly, a substantial amount of the expenses the City will incur for recycling are fixed costs and will not decrease if fewer households participate. Therefore, if an eligible customer is allowed to opt out of the curbside service, the City would still need to continue to charge that customer the monthly recycling services fee. DELAY OF CONTRACT AWARD: At the January 27, 2026 meeting, staff discussed the timing of the approval of the recycling program contract in relationship to the ordinance establishing the residential curbside program and adopting the fee. In order to provide an opportunity to consider the program details and proposed fee, staff is recommending that the City Council receive this report and delay the award of the recycling hauling contract to the March 10, 2026 City Council meeting. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Accept the report and direct that the award of a residential curbside recycling collection contract be placed on the March 10, 2026 City Council agenda for final approval. 2. Refer this item back to staff for further information. 3. Accept the report and award a 5-year contract to Aspen Waste Systems of Iowa, Inc., of Ames, Iowa, for Residential Curbside Recycling Collection services beginning July 1, 2026. 4. Accept the report and award a 5-year contract to one of the other two finalists. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The RFP process for residential curbside recycling collection yielded several competitive proposals. After evaluation and interviews, staff believes that a contract with Aspen Waste Systems would represent the best value and service for the community's needs. Aspen's customer service approach, use of technology, unique offerings for the other communities in the Resource Recovery System, and pricing all meet or exceed the City's desired service level. While the staff is recommending that a contract be awarded to Aspen Waste Systems, staff recognizes that this is a significant change in how recycling is conducted in the community. Therefore, staff believes it is important to provide the community an opportunity to understand the details of this proposed contract before the City Council approves it. Delaying the award of contract until the March 10, 2026 City Council meeting will provide that opportunity while allowing the project to remain on schedule for July implementation. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #1, as described above.

CARVER AVENUE AND CAMERON SCHOOL ROAD INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: The intersection of G.W. Carver Avenue and Cameron School Road lies on the boundary between the City of Ames and Story County and is shown on the Roundabout Location Map for reference. This intersection has been identified as a critical location for future transportation improvements due to projected traffic growth associated with planned and approved development in the surrounding area, including The Bluffs at Dankbar Farms and the proposed Greenbriar development, which have been the subject of incentive packages previously reviewed by City Council (see P&H Department Staff Reports #1 and #2). The initial Dankbar development agreement contemplated that developer funded transportation improvements at the intersection would be in the form of a signalized intersection, allowing for incremental improvements over time. Further refinement of design elements have indicated that a roundabout is a preferred improvement due to the increases in safety regarding speed management and benefits for crossings by multimodal users. Additionally, roundabouts are more cost effective to maintain over the long term due to no signalized equipment to maintain. It should also be noted that the Ames Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (AAMPO) 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) identifies a roundabout improvement at this location as Project N-47. Inclusion in the adopted MTP establishes consistency with regional transportation planning goals and supports future consideration of federal and state funding opportunities. Following several City Council discussions regarding developer incentives and long-term corridor improvements, the Mayor sent a letter dated January 30, 2026 (see Mayor ’s letter) to the Story County Board of Supervisors requesting County participation in evaluating a roundabout improvement at the G.W. Carver Avenue and Cameron School Road intersection, consistent with the preferred treatment identified in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan. The Board of Supervisors voted to support moving forward with preliminary design of a roundabout. The attached Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Ames and Story County establishes a framework for shared participation in an initial phase of work focused on feasibility and funding readiness. The scope of this phase includes: Preparation of a preliminary engineering design sufficient to identify right-of-way impacts; Development of a detailed Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (OPC); and Preparation and submittal of a site-specific application to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Traffic Safety Improvement Program (TSIP). Under the MOU, the City of Ames and Story County would share the actual costs of this initial phase on a 50/50 basis. The City would lead the selection of an engineering 223 consultant in accordance with City of Ames procurement policies and procedures. Story County engineering staff would participate in the consultant selection process and remain engaged throughout the project in a collaborative partnership role. Story County’s total financial participation in this phase would be capped at $50,000. The City would initially pay the full cost of the preliminary engineering services and would seek reimbursement from Story County for its 50 percent share, not to exceed $50,000. Funding for the City’s share is expected to come from unobligated American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding. No construction funding is included or authorized as part of this action. The MOU does not obligate either party to proceed with final design or construction. Any future phases of the project would be subject to separate approvals by the City Council and the Story County Board of Supervisors. Story County approved the MOU at its February 10, 2026 meeting (see attached MOU ). NEXT STEPS: Upon mutual approval of the MOU, City staff would initiate a solicitation to hire an engineering consultant. The anticipated schedule would allow completion of the work in time for submittal of a TSIP grant application in August 2026. Subject to the timing of procurement and consultant selection, staff would anticipate returning to the City Council in April with a proposed engineering agreement for consideration. Following completion of the preliminary engineering and receipt of a refined Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (OPC), the City and Story County would evaluate potential options to program a roundabout improvement in a future year of the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP). The timing of any future construction phase would depend on the availability of local funding, financial participation by Story County, and the potential receipt of grant funding or other external funding sources. The goal would be, if awarded a State grant and if both parties desire to proceed, that the roundabout construction could occur in FY 2027/28. ALTERNATIVES: 1. The City Council can do the following: a. Approve the Memorandum of Understanding with Story County to share preliminary engineering and TSIP grant application costs for evaluation of a potential roundabout at the G.W. Carver Avenue and Cameron School Road intersection. b. Direct Staff to allocate $50,000 from unobligated ARPA funds to support the City’s share of the preliminary engineering and grant application work. 2. Direct Staff to develop alternative approaches to program a roundabout. 3. Direct Staff to not pursue a roundabout and program a signalized intersection. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: By approving this agreement, the City will partner with Story County to advance the development of a roundabout option that is anticipated to improve safety and operational performance at a critical suburban intersection and accommodate planned housing growth in the northwest area of the community. 224 While the City and County evaluate the feasibility of a roundabout, the adjacent developers intend to continue with their development plans. If the roundabout project does not ultimately proceed, responsibilities for intersection improvements and signalization would still need to be finalized in conjunction with existing and future developer agreements. Therefore, it is the City Manager’s recommendation that the City Council approve Alternative 1 as shown above. ATTACHMENT(S): Roundabout Location Map GWC Roundabout Letter from the Mayor Incentives Staff Report Dec 9th Roundabout Planning Dept Staff Report Dec. 16th MOU - Signed by Story County 225 G.W. Carver Avenue & Cameron School Road Roundabout Project (N-47) 1,200 ft 226 CITY OF Smart Choice To:Story County Board of Supervisors From:Mayor John A. Haila - City of Ames Date:January 30, 2026 Subject: Despite the MTP preference for a roundabout project for this area, its timing and financial viability are unknown because of timing of adjacent pending development. City staff estimates corridor improvements with a roundabout to be upwards of $3 million. In order to move the potential roundabout project As the Board of Supervisors may recall at the time of annexation of the Dankbar Farms property, there was a discussion of improvements for GW Carver/Cameron School Road partially in the City and partially in the County. A traffic signal was initially proposed for the intersection to address the necessary traffic infrastructure improvements to allow for incremental improvements as development occurs. The City of Ames has been working closely with area developers adjacent to the George Washington Carver/Cameron School Road intersection to navigate a path forward for housing and commercial developments in the area. Traffic improvements to the intersection of George Washington Carver and Cameron School Road have been identified as needed. The Ames City Council discussed potential road projects as part of its December 16, 2026 meeting. At this meeting, City Council determined that we wanted to reach out to the Board of Supervisors regarding your willingness to partner with the City on a roundabout project for the intersection of Cameron School Road and GW Carver. George Washington Carver/Cameron School Road Roundabout Partnership As development plans have been refined, the Ames Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (AAMPO), of which Story County is a member, has recently finalized the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) that indicates a roundabout is the preferred option at this location in the mid-term planning timeline when compared to a traffic signal. While the MTP does not dictate project types, timing, or funding, it does attempt to identify projects that can attain multiple benefits. The benefit of the roundabout includes management of speed with improved safety and multi-modal access. Additionally, roundabouts have a lower operating cost because there is not any traffic signal infrastructure requiring periodic maintenance. 227 With each step outlined above, there would be check in on whether to continue with development of the project. If financial support for a roundabout does not fit with the Supervisor’s goals and priorities, we would want to know this as soon as possible to avoid using everyone’s resources trying to implement an unrealistic project. Currently the north half of the George Washington Carver/Cameron School Road intersection is located within Story County, a quarter of the intersection is likely always planned to be within the County. Because of this, the City of Ames is requesting the Board of Supervisors partner with the City to determine the feasibility of the project and to construct the project as early as 2027, with the following steps: If the Board of Supervisors believes that a roundabout is preferred solution for this intersection and is interested in being a funding partner, there is an urgency to address this option now. City staff believe there is a narrow window of time to determine feasibility and to leverage funding resources to make this project a reality in coordination with adjacent development. forward as an immediate opportunity, preliminary engineering needs to be completed to refine the project scope and provide a more accurate cost estimate. If there is no interest in pursuing the project at this time, the opportunity may be lost due to development phasing and the use of a traffic signal system that would then be the default option. • State Safety Grant Application: With a preliminary design and a refined cost estimate completed by the summer of 2026, the City and Story County can apply for a State DOT safety grant in the fall of 2026 for up to $500,000 of funding. City staff would prepare the application in coordination with County staff. • Preliminary Design: 50% shared cost with the City of Ames - request up to $50,000 for Story County's share of the preliminary design cost. Preliminary design to occur as soon as possible to refine project costs. The County Engineer has been in contact with the City’s Public Works staff and has discussed support for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to partner in these costs. City staff have begun the process of preparing a MOU for Ames City Council and Board of Supervisors for review and approval, planned for February 2026 with Board support to move ahead. • Roundabout Construction: Shared cost with the City of Ames - request 25% of the cost of the roundabout related improvements (estimated at $400,000), if the project receives a safety grant. Construction would be anticipated in FY 2027/28. 228 Sincerely, John A. Haila Mayor We thank you for your consideration of the City’s request and look forward to a response. Staff is also available to answer any questions. Cc: Ames City Council Steve Schainker, City Manager Justin Clausen, Public Works Director Kelly Diekmann, Planning and Housing Director Renee Hall, City Clerk 229 Staff Report DEVELOPER HOUSING INCENTIVE REQUESTS December 9, 2025 BACKGROUND: City Council reviewed a staff report at its May 27 meeting that described the original developer requests totaling approximately $10 million dollars and policy questions pertaining to priority types of development, priority for near term development, and maximum amounts of financial assistance. Council requested staff provide more information and took no specific action related to the requests. Staff met with development representatives during the summer to address City Council’s My 27th comments and questions about the projects. Staff provided an updated report on September 9th that provided more details about the project and financial estimates for the incentives. At the September 9th meeting, staff addressed information pertaining to: • Developer responses to Council questions, • categorization of pioneer and oversizing infrastructure, • cost projections for three years and in total • projected housing production over the next 3 years, by project, • cost implications to City funds in the context of the original developer requests, • a comparison of approaches from Waukee and Ankeny, and • policy questions to guide the prioritization of incentives and options regarding total amount of incentives. City Council reviewed staff’s information and heard from Justin Dodge about the need for incentives and about the limitations on housing production in Ames, even with incentives. Ultimately, City Council directed staff to formulate a package of options to help address the total cost of incentives and the timing of financial impacts to the City. City Council indicated that any combination of funding sources, including TIF could be considered. PROJECT SUMMARIES: Attached to the report is a project location map and identification of the specific original requests for each project. The following is a summary of each project and their total financial request. The descriptions have been updated, as appropriate since the September meeting. 230 Hayden's Preserve This development is a 170-acre site with Master Plan approval for up to 620 units. The developer intends to propose increasing the total units of this site to approximately 660 units with a split of approximately 550 single family and 110 multi -family, along with 5.5 acres of commercial. The single family is a combination of townhomes and detached single family. The developer was focused on a large first phase development concept that could include 50 detached lots, 176 townhomes, and 110 apartment dwellin gs. The developer had put the site up for auction in September. The property did not sell at auction and is under control of same developer. They have indicated an interest to staff to continue with their incentive request and an updated master plan for the site. The developer's total ask is estimated at $3.5 million to $4.7 million, depending on rural water territory buyout calculations. The developer indicates that this level of financial support is needed to make development of the site competitive with sites they are developing in other communities. Auburn Trail This development is 70 acres on the west side of Hyde with a master plan approval for 181 single family dwellings. The developer intends to increase density to approximately 200 units. Details regarding the first phase of development are unknown at this ti me. The developer's total direct ask was estimated in September at $486,000, depending on rural water territory buyout calculations. Since May, Staff has reviewed a revised layout for the site the developer believes improves the financial viability of the site. The developer noted in their recent response to staff that based upon their recent subdivision layout updates, with a reduced Xenia buyout cost to at least $4,000 per acre, that the assistance represented in Option 2 of approximately $365,000 would be sufficient to proceed with the project. Greenbriar This development is a 150-acre site that was recently annexed into the city. The City Council has directed staff to address infrastructure improvements related to sewer, roads, and open space with a development agreement at the time of rezoning. The applicant has not yet applied for rezoning with a master plan for this site. Based upon the Ames Plan 2040 designations, the development will include commercial, multi-family, and single family attached and detached homes. Staff estimates the plan may include 450+ dwelling units, split between 250 multi-family units and 200 single family units, plus 5-8 acres of commercial land. The developer has recently submitted a request for City Council to consider a Comprehensive Plan amendment to modify the location of commercial development from the middle of the site to the corner of Cameron and GW Carver. 231 Development of the site requires extension of an east/west sewer from Hyde Avenue that is related to the Hayden's Preserve project timing. The overall timing of Greenbriar and the sewer extension is unknown. The developers have indicated that a first phase of single-family homes could be started next year without the Hyde trunk line extension if a "slip lining" project for an existing sewer segment in Moore Memorial Park is completed independent of the Hyde sewer extension. Staff estimates the slip line project would cost $250,000 and could increase the capacity of this existing line to serve the southwest quadrant of the site, which may yield capacity for 100+ single family housing units. The developer's total direct ask is estimated at $4.1 million, plus additional park development costs that are not yet estimated. Additionally, the developer believes that even with the requested infrastructure assistance that the project is not financially feasible without an opportunity to generate a 20% return on investment of the land development. Therefore, they claim that a TIF rebate may also be required to develop the project with a reasonable return on investment. Bluffs at Dankbar Farms Corner Outlot This site is 20 acres in size and has been recently approved for rezoning of 6 acres of commercial and 14 acres for a Senior/Assisted Living facility. The current development agreement for this site requires turn lane improvements on Cameron School Road and G.W. Carver Avenue at the developer’s cost. The developer's direct ask is estimated at $1.2 million to complete turn lanes along Cameron School Road and GW Carver Avenue. Because of the existing development agreements, the developer is required to make these improvements with the next Bluffs plat and development of the corner site, which is anticipated to be within the upcoming year. The developer indicates that the City assistance would facilitate a quicker rate of development for their corner project and potentially the Bluffs townhomes to the west. It should be noted that the $1.2 million request is not directly related to the construction of housing of townhomes to the west of the corner commercial site. Domani I The project has an approved Planned Residence District (PRD) plan that is partially built out. The extension of Cottonwood is triggered with the next phase of development. The current development agreement requires the extension at the expense of the developer. The remaining two phases include 11 additional Domani lots and 12 custom home lots for a total of 23 lots. The developer's initial ask is estimated at $371,000 for the full cost of the Cottonwood extension as a 31-foot residential collector street. After discussing timing and options with the developer, he has indicated that if the City committed to funding at least 50% of the road improvement that he would consider committing resources to completing other infrastructure and street improvements for Green 232 Hills to final plat all the remaining lots. If there is not an incentive to invest in this area now, there are other projects that he would prioritize first. Ansley Ansley is an approved Planned Unit Development with 170 residential lots. The approved development is a mix of attached and detached single family dwellings with one site intended for a commercial building. As part of the original subdivision approval, City Council agreed to waive the developer’s responsibility to pave ½ of Cedar Lane with the other half to be paid for by ISU. ISU had inherited the partial paving obligation from buying land on the west side of Cedar Lane that was subject to development agreement with the City. A development agreement memorializing the improvement requirements is on the agenda as a separate item. The estimated cost to the City for half of the roadway was $250,000, but it would not occur in the next three years Incentive Options: The September 2025 report described a staff generated development phasing with projected incentives and housing production for the next three years (est. 110 units per year) and the totals for each project. The September report also utilized the developers original categories of incentive requests, which differed by project. For this report, staff created a generalized approach for categorizing the incentive values to make them more easily comparable. Staff also utilized the same three-year horizon to create Options. Attached to the report are worksheets of incentive options for each of the five development projects seeking incentives at this time. The worksheets describe types of incentives and sources of funding for the incentives. Additionally, summary sheets are provided by Option to describe the collective funding source s and projected timing of the cost to the City. Table 1 below summarizes the incentive value by source for each option and Table 2 describes the incentive value per project for each option. The Options are focused how the incentives can facilitate first phase construction of a project within the next three years and the costs to the City over three years . There have been no updates or other adjustment to costs estimates that were first described in May 2025. The estimates provided in this report are high level and, in many cases, projects will likely be more expensive for the City than represented here, especially in future years. The Option 1 category for each development project generally represents the pioneer and oversizing projects described in September. Option 1 primarily utilizes the available ARPA funding with some additional local funds. Option 2 expands the incentive range by adding additional pioneer type projects or expanding the financial assistance related to pioneer infrastructure projects. The financial 233 assistance substantially exceeds the ARPA funding and utilizes a variety of other local funding sources to increase the amount of incentive s. Option 3 adds additional incentives approaching the estimated “need” described by the developers, but not necessarily fully funding each request. The incentives do not solely utilize the pioneer and oversizing categories to guide the incentive type. Funding sources also include use of commercial and residential TIF in limited situations described in the summary sheets. Table 1: Summary of Options by Source Table 2: Summary of Options by Project Council should be aware that none of the incentive costs included in this report are currently part of the City’s 5-year CIP. Staff did not attempt to reprioritize already planned CIP projects to accommodate any incentive projects. Additionally, these incentives do not include any other potential requests for City participation in other types of pioneer infrastructure or oversizing that may be consistent with Plan 2040.

This would benefit developers by having them pay a reduced cost of $4,000 per acre compared to the current per unit cost of at least $2,800. This results in substantial savings of $371,000 for Auburn Trail and $1,200,000 for Hayden’s Preserve. The renegotiated buyout costs would be part of an updated water purchase agreement with Xenia that would be reviewed with City Council in the first quarter of 2026. STAFF COMMENTS: As the Council reviews the 15 different options to incentivize the housing developments, staff would highlight the following points: • If all of the five developers are supported with the Option 3, the total subsidy would be approximately $7,400,000 out of the estimated total $10,000,000 requests. • It is not required that you select Option 1,2, or 3 uniformly for all projects. Council can select different options level for each project or modify the options themselves. • Staff has not verified developer suggested costs for projects, nor has staff been provided an opportunity to review any formal pro forma related to the financial feasibility of the projects to justify the incentive requests from the developers. • The support to finance the five developers focuses only on creation of the subdivisions. There is no guarantee how quickly housing will be built, how many dwelling units will be built, and what will be the sales price or rent levels for the residential units in the subdivisions. The Council will have to decide if you want to establish certain conditions related to the granting of these incentive packages. • Council should recall that the local development community indicated that current available construction resources would limit the number of homes produced to approximately 80 homes a year. This information would indicate that incentives alone would not substantially increase housing production and outside development resources are needed to increase production beyond 80 homes. • The GW Carver/Cameron School Road Corridor improvements could be completed as independent developer led projects as shown in the project sheets or as a combined City corridor project. If Council elects to pursue a City led corridor project, staff will evaluate a traditional improvement versus a roundabout improvement and report back to Council in 2026. Staff would evaluate if a roundabout is feasible and could be completed at the same cost with partner funding as the original assumptions. • The incentive options will support overall development of 1475 dwelling units, and it is hoped that these extraordinary incentives will yield near term increases in housing production. • These incentive requests do not address other potential future pioneer and oversizing projects that may be needed for the other growth areas. 235 • There are some consistent pioneer projects that could be prioritized sooner rather than later while considering other incentives, such as the sewer slip lining and east west sewer projects. • Staff realizes this is a complicated report and, therefore, no action must be taken at this meeting allowing time for the Council to adequately review the material. The issue should then be placed on a upcoming agenda for direction. 236 Staff Report GW CARVER CAMERON SCHOOL ROAD ROUNDABOUT OPTION IN RELATION TO HOUSING DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES December 16, 2023 The Development Incentive Options Report currently assumes planned road improvements for GW Carver and Cameron School Road based upon a traditional 3 -lane roadway section widening and a traffic signal at the Cameron School Road intersection. Road improvements are related to the Dankbar and Greenbriar projects. The road widening and traffic signals are treated as independent projects, allowing for more flexibility in timing and for how much incentive to provide to a project. Alternatively, staff has identified an option related to Greenbriar and Dankbar that considers the combined GW Carver and Cameron School Road improvement needs as one corridor project, rather than independent development related improvements. The hybrid project would utilize a roundabout in lieu of a traffic signal at Cameron. The rationale to combine the projects as a City corridor project relates to the Ames MPO Transportation Plan that identifies that in the medium-term horizon (after 2035) that a roundabout improvement is a preferred intersection treatment compared to a sign al. The benefit of the roundabout in this situation is management of speed with improved safety and multi-modal access. Additionally, roundabouts have a lower operating cost because there is not any traffic signal infrastructure to constantly maintain. However, the developers have indicated a desire to have the intersection improved sooner than 2035 , which is why it is part of the Developer Incentive discussion. Despite the operational benefits, there are potential complications with pursuing a combined corridor improvement. There has been no preliminary engineering for a specific design of a roundabout. The roundabout will cost more than the projected lane widening and signal costs. MPO funds are already programmed for the next five years and cannot b e utilized for this project in the near term , it would require local funding. The timing of the developers’ interests would necessitate prioritizing the project with multiple steps to be constructed in FY2027-28. Despite these issues, staff supports this roundabout option if costs can be mitigated with partner funding. Staff estimates that the combined costs for 1500 feet of corridor improvements that include a roundabout will approach $3.0 million. The 237 roundabout component itself is estimated at $2 million of the $3 million total. The total cost will exceed the projected $2.1 million requested by developers for lane widening and a signal at Cameron that was considered within Option 2. To mitigate the cost differential, staff would propose the following steps to determine feasibility: 1. Identify local funding as a combination of ARPA ($820,000), Dankbar Commercial TIF financing (minimum assessment agreement for $600,000), and developer contribution from Dankbar for the differential up to $600,000. This approach is described in Option 2 of the overall report. 2. Direct Public Works staff to begin preliminary engineering work for a roundabout intersection design and corridor improvements for approximately 1,500 feet of GW Carver at a cost of $50,000 utilizing ARPA funding. 3. Request Story County funding assistance for preliminary design of up to $50,000 and for 25% of the roundabout construction cost (est. $400,000) with the request provided to the County by February 2026. Story County evaluates budget requests in February for road projects. The actual road construction funding would not be needed until FY 2027-28. If there is no interest in partnering, the project would stop and return to lane widening and a signal. 4. If Story County agrees to participate, an agreement will be completed for City staff/consultant to do preliminary engineering for a roundabout design and costs estimate and to apply in the Fall of 2026 for a competitive $500,000 state safety grant. 5. If awarded the state grant, complete a 28E agreement with Story County, complete the road design, and bid the project for construction in FY 2027-28. SUMMARY OF PROJECT FUNDING: ARPA $820,000 Dankbar Commercial TIF with minimum assessment agreement $600,000 Dankbar Developer Maximum Contribution $600,000 Story County (25% of Round About) $400,000 State Grant $500,000 Previous Developer Contribution for Traffic Signal $80,000 TOTAL $3,000,000 238 239 240 ITEM #:24 DATE:02-24-26 DEPT:P&H SUBJECT:ANNUAL TAX ABATEMENT CERTIFICATION COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: The City Council has established Urban Revitalization Areas (URAs) which allow for the granting of tax exemption for the increased valuation of a property for projects that meet the criteria of each URA’s Urban Revitalization Plan. Every year, owners who have made improvements to property within the City’s URAs during the previous year may apply for tax exemption on the incremental added value of their properties, subject to the criteria of a URA Plan. The City Council must determine if the completed improvements meet the criteria in the Urban Revitalization Plan for the URA in which the property is located. If the City Council finds that the criteria are met, this approval is forwarded to the City Assessor, who then reviews each request and determines the amount of the exemption based on the increase in incremental valuation. All of the applications in this report submitted for approval for 2025 improvements are related to the City-wide URA for ownership housing. (An additional application for URA tax abatement is the subject of another report on this agenda.) This year is the second year that new construction of single-family ownership housing is eligible for partial of full property tax abatement on the first $500,000 of value added after April 26, 2024, as part of the Citywide URA that was approved by Council in 2024. Eligible properties can take advantage of a 5-year sliding scale of partial abatement. City Council initiated the City-wide URA in response the low number of housing starts in 2023, with only 61 building permits issued for single-family homes. The following table outlines the housing starts over the past several years. Housing Starts: Year Total for Year 2023 61 2024 59 2025 68 To apply for tax abatement the home must have had improvements completed after April 26, 2024. Improvements completed before April 26, 2024, are ineligible for tax abatement. Staff mailed notices known property owners that had not yet filed applications and might have qualified for tax abatement as ownership housing. By February 1, 2025, the City received 25 applications. By February 1, 2026, staff received 53 applications by the filing deadline, for this tax year (2026). Of those 53 applications, 48 were for single-family homes completed in 2025 and 5 were for homes completed in 2024. Of the 53 applications, 9 were for partial improvements for homes started before April 26, 2024, and 44 were for full new construction started after April 26, 2024. Attached to this report is list of address and the type of improvements eligible for abatement. 241 Current Applications Received: Home Completed in: Partial (construction began prior to April 26, 2024) Full (construction began after April 26, 2024) Total 2024 4 1 5 2025 5 43 (including 1 ineligible)48 Total 9 44 (including 1 ineligible)53 One of the applications, 2113 Ada Hayden Road, is ineligible as the property is not owner-occupied. This brings the total number of eligible applications to 52. Note that any owners who did not file for abatement this year may still be eligible to file for abatement in 2026 if it is within two years of the first tax year having an improvement value. Based upon values stated in the applications for both partial and full improvements, at least $20.6 million of improvement value is eligible for abatement. (Staff is still awaiting final claimed improvement value/cost information on three applications.) The final amount will likely be less with the final review of partial improvement value claims. The average new improvement value claimed was $421,000 after adjusting for the $500,000 maximum cap on value. The most difficult evaluation of the applications has been the value of partial improvement s and timing of ownership of the housing to meet the eligibility criteria. City Council is not determining the value of partial improvements with certification of eligibility. After conferring with the City Assessor, the City Assessor will determine the value of improvements as is normally the case for tax abatement eligibility. The Assessor visited buildings that were in progress near the April 26, 2024, date of eligibility and documented the status of those homes. They will compare their records with stated values of applications to make a determination of eligible abatement value. In any event, the maximum abatement value is $500,000. The second issue is the final determination related to ownership as a primary residence. A handful of applications were submitted for improvements that received final approvals in early January and under the ownership of the primary residence at the time they filed the application for the improvements. Staff believes these applications can be certified as meeting the criteria because they are owner occupied at the time of filing the application. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Resolution approving the following: a. Certify 52 property tax abatement applications as listed in the attachment as meeting the eligibility requirements of the City-wide URA. b. Determine 2113 Ada Hayden Road does not meet the eligibility requirements of being owner occupied. 242 c. Submit the applications to the City Assessor for a determination of improvement value. 2. Approve a certification of a different number of applications by specifying those that meet the City-wide URA eligibility requirements. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff has examined the applications submitted by February 1, 2026, and has found that 52 of the 53 requests for the completed projects substantially conform to criteria of the City-wide URA. All of the applications are eligible for a 5-year sliding scale of partial or full property tax abatement of Year 1-100%; Year 2-80%; Year 3-60%; Year 4-40%; Year 5- 20% based upon the final determination of improvement value by the City Assessor. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City manager that the City Council approve Alternative #1A-B.

COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: City Council has recently indicated preliminary support for specific development incentives with various forms of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) within Urban Renewal Plan (URP) Areas as allowed under state law. Staff is requesting that City Council determine whether or not to proceed at this time with the steps needed to support the incentive requests or to defer the steps until a later date. Initiating these steps now to run in parallel with standard rezoning, subdivision, and site development plan review process does not commit the City Council to approval of the specific project or incentive, but it does create efficiency with staff time to address the large number of requests and can accelerate the overall process of approving a project and related development agreements as needed. Recently discussed projects and type of TIF incentive: I. The Linc Redevelopment Project (Developer TIF Rebate of $19 million to $32 million over 20 years) II. Bluffs @ Dankba r Farms Commercial Development (City Public Improvement Funding ($600,000- $1,000,000) for Roundabout or Developer TIF Rebate of up to $1,000,000 over 10 years) III. Ontario/Scholl Road Workforce Housing Residential Subdivision (Developer TIF Rebate for Public Infrastructure with estimate of $660,000 + LMI set-aside over 10 years) IV. Hayden's Preserve Residential Subdivision (Developer TIF Rebate for Public Infrastructure estimate of $375,000 + LMI set-aside over 10 years) V. Greenbriar Commercial (Developer TIF Rebate estimate of $900,000 over 10 years) The Linc: The Linc project is already within the existing Downtown Reinvestment District Urban Renewal Area. The approved URP indicates that the City may utilize TIF for a variety of purposes, including as an economic development incentive for the mixed use Linc redevelopment project located along Lincoln Way between Clark Avenue and Kellogg Avenue. The approved Urban Renewal Plan included an estimate of up to $32 million dollars of TIF incentives to be provided as a developer rebate over 20 years, dependent upon improved 247 value of the Linc property with its redevelopment. Although staff has not received any information regarding the current TIF request from the developers, previous Linc development concepts reviewed by the City included estimated TIF values of $19 million to $30+ million dollars generated over a 20-year time period, depending on final project components and valuations. Upon approval of the TIF ordinance, the actual collection of TIF would still be subject to approval of a development agreement and construction of a project. No TIF would be collected and distributed to the developer without City Council approval. However, it does complete a necessary step in the process affirming the City Council's intent to utilize a yet to be determined amount of TIF for the Linc project. Downtown URA TIF could have an ordinance prepared for approval as early as March 10th. NEW URBAN RENEWAL AREAS: The other four projects require approval of an Urban Renewal Area, Plan, TIF ordinance, and developer agreement in order to provide incentives for the the projects. The URA approval process requires the City to first prepare a plan for City Council to review and approve a resolution of necessity. Subsequent to the resolution, a date of public hearing is set for review and approval of the URP, a taxing entity consultation meeting is held, the P&Z makes a recommendation on consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, and staff prepares response to comments from taxing entities, if any, one week before the public hearing with the City Council. These steps require 6-8 weeks to complete in total for each proposed URA and Plan. Bluffs @ Dankbar Farms Commercial The Bluffs has a zoned area for commercial development at the corner of GW Carver and Cameron School Road. There are three planned lots for commercial development that will generate TIF revenue. This site is the most ready for a URA designation due to the approved z o n ing. Staff is in the process of finalizing road improvement details for the site. Staff and the developer need to finalize a Development Outline for Council acceptance and then approve a development agreement to address requirements for a minimum assessment agreement, developer obligations, and contingencies related to construction of a GW Carver roundabout project or a lane widening and signal project. Ontario Workforce Housing City Council recently reviewed a request for an incentive for the reconstruction of Scholl Road with the an upcoming planned residential subdivision creating moderate priced workforce housing. The developer intends to move quickly with rezoning and platting of this site once they complete the purchase of the site from ISU in the near future. The proposed URA would be for the entire site and include all residential development. The proposed Residential TIF Rebate is intended to support the reconstruction of a portion of Scholl Road and the funding of a mandatory set-aside for low and moderate income (LMI) housing funds. Hayden's Preserve Residential Subdivision City Council indicated support for use of TIF related to infrastructure for a culvert to create an additional street connection within the project site. The site has zoning in place for residential development. Staff would create a URA based upon the description of a first phase of development. The proposed Residential TIF Rebate is intended to support construction of a culvert and the funding of a mandatory set-aside for low and moderate income housing funds. 248 Greenbriar Commercial This site is currently not ready for a URA as no master plan or zoning has been established for the sub-area of the site planned for commercial. The developer has a pending Comprehensive Plan amendment intended to define a future commercial area at the intersection of GW Carver and Cameron School Road. Once a more complete description of the area planned for Commercial is understood, a URA and Plan for commercial development could be created. The TIF is intended to assist in the funding of development costs related to serving the planned commercial area. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Direct staff to proceed with preparing Urban Renewal Areas, Plans, and TIF Ordinances consistent with the project list and descriptions outlined above. 2. Direct staff to proceed with specific projects from the list above. 3. Direct staff to not proceed at this time, awaiting for project approvals before commencing the incentive process. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff seeks Council direction to proceed with implementation of the needed URA and TIF approval processes in order to effectively complete the incentive processes. Due to large number of pending projects, staff desires to have Council initiate the necessary steps for the projects at this time. Completing the URA steps does not commit the City to approving any specific project or level of incentive, but would expedite the overall process and efficiently utilize staff time for these projects. Staff proposes to work on these projects in order of readiness, beginning with the Linc. Staff will prepare required documents and place them on future agenda as appropriate. Therefore, the City Manager recommends Alternative No. 1. 249 ITEM #:26 DATE:02-24-26 DEPT:P&H SUBJECT:RESOLUTION APPROVING A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) FOR THE SALE OF SINGLE-FAMILY MARKET-RATE LOTS LOCATED IN THE BAKER SUBDIVISION. COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: The City Council’s affordable housing goals are to increase the supply of housing stock in the community. The designation of a census tract in West Ames as a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA) has provided a unique opportunity to utilize our Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to create a mixed-income housing development known as the Baker Subdivision. Twenty-six lots were created for single-family home development, and under the NRSA, 51% (14 lots) are required to be specifically for low and moderate-income households. However, the remaining 12 lots (49%) can be for market-rate housing. To date, the development of the southern portion of the subdivision has been completed, with eight of the 14 LMI lots being sold to Habitat for Humanity and the completion of 38 Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) units on lot 27. The City is now ready to proceed with the completion of the 18 remaining lots on the north portion of the subdivision. Of the remaining 18 lots, 6 are LMI, and 12 are market-rate. City staff has prepared a Request for Proposals (RFP) to sell up to 6 of the 12 market- rate lots in 2026. However, only the following lots are available to select to purchase: 9, 13, 14, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, and 26. Lots 18, 19 & 20 have some geothermal well location concerns that need to be resolved before these lots can be sold. The RFP is designed to solicit offers for the purchase of lots with minimum submittal requirements and scoring criteria to evaluate proposals. Construction on the purchased lots will be by private parties, not the City. The RFP process would allow for an individual or a builder to make a proposal to buy a lot(s), subject to meeting the minimum requirements of the RFP. City Council would ultimately select the proposal(s) that best meet the interests of the City for the construction of market-rate housing that is consistent with the character of the area. The market-rate lots are identified within the covenants that were approved by the City Council for the development, see attached exhibit. The market rate lots are subject to certain minimum standards of the covenants, regardless of the RFP process, which include: House Size: 1-story minimum of 1200 sq. ft./ multi-story minimum of 1250 sq. ft. Basement: Required with all homes and must have an egress window. It may be unfinished. 250 Builder Experience: Construction of a home must be done by an experienced builder who has completed at least three homes within three of the past seven years. Owner Occupied: The home must be the primary residence of the owner and cannot be rented out. Geothermal: All homes must be connected to and utilize the geothermal system for heating and cooling. Construction Timing: House construction must begin within 6 months of closing on the purchase of a lot. Additionally, a home must be completed within 12 months of starting construction. Timing lot sales is important for two reasons. The City has to balance the timing of receiving payment for the lots with federal requirements for spending program income in relation to the annual timeliness test in the spring of each year. Staff believes that if six lots are sold and the revenue from the sales of the lots occurs between July 1st and October 1st, it would allow the City to account for this revenue with the funding of an infrastructure project in a low-income census tract neighborhood before the date of the timeliness test in May 2027. Otherwise, staff believes that revenue from lots sales should not occur until after July of 2027 to again allow for time to expend the funds and meet the timeliness test. Additionally, it is possible that a builder may propose to buy multiple lots from the City with the goal of seeking state Workforce Housing Tax Credits (WHTC). To be eligible for this program, a builder would need to have a purchase agreement for at least four lots in order to apply by the June deadline. However, notice of award of the grants does not typically occur until August or September, and the purchase window extending to October 1st would allow a builder to proceed. Starting construction in October is still feasible in relation to the weather as well. Minimum submittal requirements of the RFP include: 1. Identify the type of home design and style intended to be built on the lot. 2. Builder readiness in the form of identifying either a contractor or development entity that meets the minimum experience requirement of the covenants, 3. Proof of financing or pre-qualification of a loan to verify financial viability to complete the lot purchase and build a home within 12 months, 4. Identify which market rate lot(s) they desire to purchase, and 5. Date of closing with any contingencies, such as WHTC. 6. House design concept, include a limitation that if purchasing three or more lots that at least two house plans must be provided. Additionally, no lot may have an identical house design on an abutting lot. 251 Evaluation of the proposal involves three scoring categories weighted primarily according to: 1) House design compatibility with the neighborhood (50 points) The RFP identifies a variety of design elements that support aesthetic compatibility, including an enclosed garage, traditional pitched roofs, covered entries, use of varied materials on gabled faces, decorative bands and eave extensions, fenestration, facade relief, and garage to front door relationship. The intent is to identify an overall cohesive design quality without specifying a specific style. 2) Quantity of lots purchased (30 points) A proposal is awarded 4 points per lot plus 1 point for closing in 2026. 3) Price of the lot (20 points). Points are awarded on a per lot basis, not as a package for multiple lots. The highest price in relation to the minimum lot price will be awarded the most points. Purchase price is an important consideration related to compliance with CDBG requirements. As an RFP, the proposal process will create a market price offer for the lots. Staff has included a minimum sales price based upon the City investment of CDBG funds in acquisition and development of the site. Staff estimated total CDBG costs of $2.134 million for acquisition, Tripp Street extension, and subdivision related improvements. Staff has estimated that 65% of the expenditures ($1.387 million) benefited the creation of the 26 single family lots and 35% for the creation of the Creekside Townhomes affordable housing apartment site, park site, and other neighborhood improvements. These CDBG costs average out to approximately $53,335 on a per lot basis. Actual lots sizes vary so a range of value per lots is more representative of the total. Staff recommends establishing a minimum price of $50,000 with a higher cost for larger lots. The RFP includes a list of minimum lot prices. As an FYI, staff has had relatively recent appraisals of lots in the subdivision from 2023 and 2025 that identified a range of values between $61,000 and $75,500, but there are very few lot sales to use as comparables, which creates some uncertainty in the actual value. Council could elect to set higher minimum sales prices in the RFP using these appraisals even though staff has set a somewhat lower minimum cost within the draft RFP. If City Council approves the RFP, staff will issue the RFP by March 1st and allow for 30 days to receive proposals. Staff has tentatively identified April 14th for review and approval of proposals by City Council. Once a proposal(s) is selected, a notice of a public hearing and approval of an option or purchase agreement will be required by the City Council. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the attached RFP for the sale of six (6) market-rate lots available within the Baker Subdivision. 2. Direct staff to modify the RFP and then to proceed with the RFP for the sale of six (6) market-rate lots within the Baker Subdivision. 252 3. Take no action and request additional information or changes. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff believes the RFP process is the best method available to address the priorities of selling market-rate lots and having a variety of housing types in the subdivision. It should be emphasized that the RFP is only for to sale six (6) of the twelve market rate lots in this first phase, it does not involve the City in the construction process of actual homes. Staff believes the proposed timing and minimum sales prices allow for appropriate planning and funding of other projects with the program income to meet the annual timeliness test. Staff will return to Council with a separate discussion on how to complete housing construction on the remaining affordable lots once this process for market rate lots is complete. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve Alternative #1.

Introduction The City of Ames, Iowa, is seeking Request for Proposals (RFP) from individuals or Buyers with qualified, experienced single-family housing developers/builder(s) interested in the purchase of single family lots(s) to construct single-family homes within the City-owned Baker Subdivision in West Ames (former Ames Middle School site). This subdivision is located in the City’s first Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA), which allows for flexibility in the development of mixed-income housing units. Additionally, as a unique opportunity, this subdivision represents the City’s first geothermal residential development to address the City’s goals for creating sustainable environments. Ames, like many communities across America, has a continuing need for more affordable housing for both low- and moderate-income and higher-income households. Using its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, the City of Ames purchased this 10+ acre infill site for the sole purpose of creating mixed-income housing options for the community. The area south of Tripp Street within this subdivision has been developed with both single-family homeownership units and multi-family townhome rental units. The area north of Tripp Street is now being made available to build single-family homes for market-rate homebuyers. The interested Buyer may select to submit proposals to purchase 1 to 6 of the following available Lots 9, 13, 14, 16, 17, 23, and 26 (see map below) The City is particularly interested in proposals that address the following objectives: • Constructing ownership single-family homes of a size and scale compatible with the neighborhood character based on the Covenants (see Attachment A) created for this subdivision. • Creating a variety of housing choice styles to address, including but not limited to ranch, two-story, split-level, etc. • Addressing family and workforce housing needs; • Including design characteristics and features compatible with surrounding homes. 264 4 Proposals will be evaluated for completeness of the required submittals and project scoring preferences described below. City Council will ultimately review a report prepared by staff that describes the background of the Buyer and the proposed project’s attributes. City Council will ultimately select the proposal it finds to be most desirable for the sale of lots and construction of ownership housing within the timeframe of this Request for Proposal but reserves the right to reject any or all proposals for development of the site. The City reserves the right to waive any minor informalities or irregularities, which do not address the heart of the proposal, or to reject any and all proposals. Proposals, which take exception to the Request for Proposal (RFP), may be considered non-responsive and may be rejected.

In order for this to occur in the County, he has requested that the City Council waive development standards. Any division of land within two miles of Ames is subject to City review for conformance to the City’s subdivision code or for consideration of a waiver of city standards (Attachment C-Location Map). The subject property currently has one house on it. The property is northwest of the City nearly two miles from the current boundary of the City at the northern edge of the City’s two- mile jurisdictional boundary. City staff identified the property as primarily Natural Area with some Agricultural based upon the policies of Ames Plan 2040 in relation to existing conditions and proximity to Ioway Creek (see Attachment D Sketch Plan letter). The property is not located in an Urban Reserve Area. The purpose of the proposed subdivision is to split the existing farmstead of approximately 7.67 acres of land into two parcels of 4.523 acres and 3.147 acres separately and build a new home on the western 4.523-acre parcel. An existing home on the property would occupy the eastern 3.147 acre parcel. Mr. McCartney is seeking a waiver of the City’s Subdivision standards that would otherwise require public improvements with the division, and to waive the minimum lot size policy related to rural land use designations. Both of the identified land use designations do not support subdivisions based on the intended land use of Ames Plan 2040. However, the property is at the farthest edge of the City's two-mile boundary and could be considered for a waiver of City standards if found not t o conflict with City interests. Story County would permit the division as a Rural Parcel Subdivision to create one additional lot, if the City waives its requirements. OPTIONS: Option 1: Approve Waiver of City Review This option would waive the City review of this subdivision in its entirety, thereby releasing it to Story County for its review. The City would not review any component of the subdivision. The subject subdivision cannot be accomplished within the City’s regulations because of its distance from the City. Furthermore, its location does not impact planned growth areas of the 274 City. This option requires filing a formal approval of a waiver by the Council. With a release of subdivision review, the applicant may proceed with submitting an application to Story County for review. Option 2: Require a Final Plat to be submitted and reviewed with a waiver for minimum lot size of less than 35 acres. This option would require a Final Plat for review and consideration by City Council before being considered by Story County. The intent would be to waive all improvement requirements, but retain review authority of the subdivision and its lot configuration. A Plat of Survey may be acceptable in lieu of Final Plat, pending coordination with Story County. Option 3: Decline to waive standards in support of a subdivision at this location This option would maintain that the Natural Area Conservation and Agricultural Area as-is with no intensification of housing by rejecting the request for a waiver from Mr. McCartney. STAFF COMMENTS: Mr. McCartney has communicated to staff his desire to subdivide his farmland in Story County. Ames has a policy of only subdividing land in the Urban Fringe into parcels that are at least 35 acres for areas seen as Agricultural and Farm Service classifications and not allowing subdivisions in designated Natural Area Conservation Subdivisions that intensify use near the City and do not include urban development standards, which can be counter to the City’s plans for growth and expansion. However, upon review of the Ames Plan 2040 Future Land Use and the location of this property staff does not believe that this property will ever be brought into the City. The location of this division is at the edge of the City’s two-mile jurisdictional boundary. The area in general is highly unlikely to be incorporated into the City in the future due to existing development patterns in this area. As such, given the distance near the edge of the two-mile boundary and that it is unlikely to ever come into the City, staff supports granting a waiver.

The land is located just east of N 500th Avenue, within two miles of the Ames City limits in the Ames Urban Fringe area. The Planning and Housing Department received the Sketch Plan application on October 30, 2025. The Development Review Committee (DRC) staff met on November 12, 2025, for the pre- application conference, a required first step for any proposed subdivision, lot merger, or boundary line adjustment. It was determined that a formal meeting with the whole Development Review Committee and the applicant was not required. This letter is a follow-up to that meeting with our comments included below. Your request is to divide the existing 7.67 acre property identified as SECTION:18 TOWNSHIP:84 RANGE:24 NW NW BEG 844.26' E NW COR E510' S943.3' W155.3' NW498.3' W181' N477' located in Story County into two parcels: One parcel would include the existing house and the second parcel would be for a new residence. The property is included within the “Agriculture and Farm Service” Fringe Land Use Designation and Natural Areas Designation. City policy does not support land divisions within the Urban Fringe resulting in parcels less than 35 acres. Below are excerpts from Ames Plan 2040, relating to policies in the Ames Urban Fringe (those areas outside the City within two miles of the City limits: UF3-1: Agricultural Preservation. Agricultural areas are designated to preserve appropriate land for farming and limit the encroachment of residential and other uses into these areas. Land divisions are permissible only to allow for splitting off an existing homesite or farmstead from a farm area. Minimum lot sizes are proposed at 35 acres matching the Story County A-1 zoning standard. 279 UF3-2: Natural Area Conservation. Natural areas include sensitive areas of natural habitat, steep slopes, and waterways. Natural area designations are informational based upon the Environment Element and the 2006 AUFP. Creation of new parcels within these areas for new development is prohi bited. Property divisions for land conservation purposes is permissible with city approval. Land conservation is typically for larger areas to be preserved within outlots under common or private ownership or to transfer ownership to a governmental or non-governmental organization for its management. Creation of private open space may not be appropriate under this designation. Natural areas adjacent to the city may still require annexation to further city goals for orderly development patterns and resource conservation. Chapter 23 of the Ames Municipal Code describes the requirements for subdivisions and associated improvement requirements. The city has subdivision jurisdiction over properties within a two-mile radius of the city limits and may impose city design and improvement standards unless waived by the City Council. Ames Plan 2040 does not support waiving the City’s subdivision authority on parcels less than 35 acres. Creating a new buildable parcel requires a referral from the Ames City Council to consider waivers and covenants before a Final Plat is submitted. You would begin by writing to the Ames City Council requesting a waiver from the City’s subdivision requirements by sending a letter to the Ames City Clerk’s Office at Renee.Hall@cityofames.org. The phone number for the City Clerk’s Office is (515) 239-5105. City Council would then consider the request as it relates to our Fringe Area policies and the Subdivision Ordinance. The Council may or may not agree to waive requirements. If Council agrees to the waiver, you may then proceed with a Final Plat application for City review and approval. If no waiver is granted, the subdivision will then require compliance with the City’s infrastructure standards and require submittal of a Preliminary Plat including public improvements. Story County Planning and Development has also reviewed the Sketch Plan. They will be contacting you about their standards for subdividing land. After you receive word from Story County, you may determine whether or not you wish to proceed with a waiver request. If you have any questions, please contact me at (515) 239-5400, or by email at: justin.moore@cityofames.org. Sincerely, Justin Moore Planner CC: Leanne Harter, Story County Planning & Development 280 ITEM #:28 DEPT:ADMIN February 24, 2026 Staff Report STAFF REPORT ON 2026 NEIGHBORHOOD CONNECTIONS INITIATIVE BACKGROUND: The City Council held its annual goal-setting retreat in January 2026, updating its goals to continue including the statement, "We Value Communication and Engagement with the Public." To support this value, the City Manager ’s Office is proposing the 2026 Neighborhood Connections initiative, focused on building s trong, thriving neighborhoods, and increasing engagement with residents regarding major City projects, studies, and policy changes. This initiative aims to: Strengthen civic trust and communication between residents and the City Build new social connections amongst neighbors and with City staff Identify community strengths while learning about neighborhood priorities Provide residents with resources to create long-lasting community relationships amongst one another Educate residents about City of Ames services Conducting outreach regarding City services, projects and programs As proposed, the 2026 Neighborhood Connections will consist of four strategies, listed below along with their associated completion timelines: Strategy 1: Connecting with and Strengthening existing Neighborhood Associations - Completed by March 2026 This strategy will initially focus on reaching out to known active neighborhood associations through a survey to learn more about their current membership, how they operate, how they receive information from the City, and how the City might support their group. Based on information gathered, staff will follow up with additional information about City services that may be relevant or of interest to members, such as the free weatherization offerings through the Green Iowa AmeriCorps program, utility rebates, and more. Staff will also update the contact list for neighborhood associations. Strategy 2: Refreshing the Neighborhood Improvement Program - Completed by June 2026 The Neighborhood Improvement Program (Program) was established on January 23, 1996. The City Council has annually allocated $50,000 in the Capital Improvements Plan budget towards the Program. The purpose of the Program is to: 1) strengthen a neighborhood's appearance with the addition of permanent physical improvements, and 2) promote a greater sense of community through resident participation in a neighborhood project. 281 For the last two fiscal years (FY 2023/24 and FY 2024/25), no major projects were completed, and the majority of the funds were not expended. Staff believes the primary reason for the underuse of this program is due to fewer active neighborhood associations and a lack of awareness about the program. Neighborhood associations are less common nowadays and less influential than they were twenty years ago. While the program has seen many years of success in the past, in keeping with City staff's Excellence through People value of continuous improvement, staff believes with the recent underutilization, it is an appropriate time to reevaluate this program. With modifications to the grant program, it can continue to be a catalyst for building social connections amongst neighbors and strengthening neighborhoods (the original intent). Investing in this effort can increase the quality of life in Ames. With Strategy Two, staff will engage with previous applicants who have received funding to learn about their experiences. Staff will also develop an engagement plan to seek feedback from residents regarding what to consider in an updated program. From the input received, staff will propose an updated program and bring it before Council for final approval this spring. Strategy 3: Road Trip through Ames: Stops to Build Connections - Conducted between May - September 2026 A proposed new strategy called "Road Trip through Ames" will consist of informational block parties where City staff will travel through Ames and make five separate neighborhood "stops". This City's mobile command trailer and the block party trailer will be used to provide a welcoming and inviting space to engage and interact with residents about City programs and services. Family-friendly activities will also be provided. Staff has proposed five zones (see Attachment A ) where a "stop" will be hosted. The exact locations are yet to be determined, however staff will strive to find a willing community partner (such as a nonprofit agency) within that zone to co-host the event. If a community partner is not available, staff will find a local park or a safe street to block off to host the event. Final locations are anticipated to be secured by April with the first event occurring in May and throughout the summer months. Outreach Stops: Attachment B contains a proposed layout of each stop, which highlights the different components at each event including several engaging presentations and activities. Additionally, staff will provide light refreshments as an incentive to draw neighbors to engage. The Mobile Crisis Command Trailer will be set up as a station where community members can provide input about current projects. This trailer will also be available for participants to tour, and a portion of it will be set up for residents to participate in recording an episode of the "Up Close" podcast facilitated by a communications staff member. Participants will be asked to share how they arrived in Ames; what they think of when they hear the word "Ames"; what hidden gems they have found in Ames; and how their perspective of Ames has evolved over time. The Neighborhood Block Party Trailer will also be used since it is stocked with tables, chairs, games, and other supplies to ensure the event can be successful. 282 The list below contains the other possible educational and outreach activities. Selected activities for each stop will ultimately be based on the time of the year of the stop, the ongoing City projects at the time, and the available department representatives to staff the events. It should be noted that these engagement sessions will also be a Council Connect opportunity. Education and outreach activities: Display boards outlining the structure of the City of Ames and its services, along with key staff contacts Tabling opportunities for City departments AHRC or other board/commission presence to promote their mission Posters describing how residents can sign up for e-notifications, reserve the block party trailer, apply for City grants, and more Neighborhood connection building kits that provide participants with easy-to-use connection tools and information demonstrating why building social connections with neighbors matters. Activities to facilitate neighbors exchanging contact information with one another. Additionally, at each stop, staff will provide a large map of the area and engage participants in pinpointing community assets and resources nearby. Strategy 4: Connect with Existing Groups and Events - Starting in April 2026 There are many active community groups in Ames already that bring people together for various reasons. With strategy four, staff will compile a list of known social groups that convene regularly and make a concerted effort to connect with leaders of these social groups to explore the possibility of attending their meetings or events. This would be an opportunity to share information about City services and gather input on City programs and projects during occasions where people are already gathering. Examples of these groups may include service clubs, faith congregations, cultural organization, nonprofit gatherings, and more. Building connections with community leaders also has the potential to provide new methods of disseminating City information. STAFF COMMENTS: To support the City Council’s 2026–2027 goals, staff will kick off the 2026 Neighborhood Connections initiative with the four strategies outlined above. Additional strategies may be added over time as the initiative grows. Staff welcomes feedback and suggestions from Council.

DATE:02-24-26 DEPT:PW SUBJECT:2022/23 BRIDGE REHABILITATION PROGRAM (S. 4TH PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE OVER IOWAY CREEK) COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: This project includes constructing a prefabricated pedestrian bridge over Ioway Creek along the southeast side of the existing bridge on S. 4th Street, and constructing a shared use path from the north side of the pedestrian bridge to the intersection of S. 4th Street & University Blvd, as shown in the attached map. This shared use path will provide connectivity from University Blvd across Ioway Creek along the south side of S. 4th Street. Shared use-path construction is anticipated for the summer of 2026. Due to significant lead times for the pedestrian bridge, it is estimated the bridge and path connections to the bridge will be installed in spring 2027. Staff has coordinated extensively with Iowa State University and adjacent properties regarding the construction activities for this project, and will provide additional coordination as construction progresses.

ATTACHMENT(S): Map.pdf 287 288 ITEM #:30 DATE:02-24-26 DEPT:PW SUBJECT:2023/24 STORMWATER EROSION CONTROL PROGRAM (INIS GROVE) COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: The Stormwater Erosion Control Program is an annual program for the stabilization of areas that have become eroded in streams, channels, swales, gullies, or drainage ways that are part of the City’s stormwater system. This project involves the stabilization of the ravine within Inis Grove Park, directly north of the Miracle League Park and Playground. The project is planned for construction over a single year and in one stage. The construction will allow uninterrupted access to the Inis Grove Park and will include fencing to keep children and other park users out of the construction area. The project will replace sections of storm sewer pipe, as well as armoring of the ravine to heavily reduce erosion in the area. Plans and specifications for this project were completed by WHKS.

The project involves a mill and overlay of Bloomington Road from George Washington Carver Avenue to 500 feet west of Eisenhower Avenue. The pavement surface along this portion of Bloomington Road has begun to show cracking and settlement. This project will remove and replace the existing surface before further deterioration occurs that would necessitate more expensive full removal and replacement. The shared use path on the south side of Bloomington Road from Stange Road to the east end of the project will also be replaced in conjunction with the roadway resurfacing work. The existing shared use path is experiencing joint failures due to freeze/thaw cycles. Additionally, pedestrian ramps at the intersection of Stange Road and Bloomington Road will be upgraded to current standards, and new push button poles will be installed for pedestrian crossings. Pedestrian crossing enhancements at Bloomington Road and Hyde Avenue will be coordinated with a traffic signal installation at Hyde Avenue in future fiscal years.

The new telemetry system requires the installation of a signal wire to allow a radio to be mounted on the outside of a home or business in new neighborhoods, due to their distance from the data collection units. The data collection units are located within the service territory of the Ames Electric Utility, and water meters outside that area require the radios to be mounted on the outside of the structure. Having the wire installed as a part of the original construction of the property allows for a neat, clean installation. The signal wires will not be required for existing meter installations, and customers with an existing water meter will not be impacted by this ordinance change. The attached ordinance prepared by the Legal Department fulfills that direction. Staff is requesting that Council approve the ordinance on first reading. PUBLIC OUTREACH Prior to seeking Council direction earlier this month, staff sent letters and emails to all plumbers and home builders who had applied for a plumbing permit in the past twelve months, informing them of the proposed changes. That same letter invited them to attend an informational open house on February 2, where they had an opportunity to ask questions or raise concerns about the proposed revisions. There were no attendees at that open house. On February 18, staff sent a second round of letters and emails, informing the recipients that Council had started the process to adopt the Code change. Staff has received no inquiries or concerns regarding the proposed change. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve on first reading an ordinance revising Chapter 28 Division II to conform to the installation requirements of the new Automated Metering Infrastructure. 2. Do not approve on first reading and provide further direction to staff. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The new Aclara metering system being adopted by both Electric and Water requires a signal wire to be run between the water meter and the radio that will transmit the meter reading 310 signal. The proposed changes would reinstate a requirement for a signal wire to be installed at the time of initial construction. Including the language in the Municipal Code will clarify the requirements and standardize water meter installations. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve Alternative No. 1 as described above.
