RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENT TERMINATING
THE 28E INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
WITH THE CITY OF MAXWELL, IA, AS OF JUNE 30, 2026
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, when the Resource Recovery System was initiated in 1975,
partnerships were entered into with most of the communities across Story County to
handle solid waste through the system. With the transition away from waste -to-energy,
the costs for the disposal of solid waste through the Resource Recovery & Recycling
Campus (R3C) will necessitate fee increases; and,
WHEREAS, at the time the R3C was initially being discussed with the Resource
Recovery System partners, it was clear that some communities may both desire and be
able to leave the Resource Recovery System for an alternative; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Maxwell has identified a new solid waste management
planning area and associated landfill with which it wishes to partner ; and,
WHEREAS, City of Ames staff does not believe that releasing Maxwell from the
Resource Recovery System will have a significant financial burden to the system.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that the amendment terminating the 28E Intergovernmental Agreement with The
City of Maxwell, IA, as of June 30, 2026, is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 10th day of March, 2026.
