RESOLUTION ENACTING SPECIAL PENALTY PARKING ENFORCEMENT
FOR SPRING 2026 STADIUM CONCERTS
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, during ISU home football game days, cars are often parked on both
sides of some streets, making it difficult to traverse and creating a problem for emergency
vehicle response; and,
WHEREAS, in 2019, the City Council enacted enhanced penalties for game day
parking in the area west of Jack Trice Stadium. The Council further expanded the special
penalty area to include other special events by resolution of the City Council; and,
WHEREAS, there are two large stadium concerts planned for spring 2026. The
first is Luke Combs, scheduled for Saturday, April 11, 2026, and the second is Post
Malone and Jelly Roll, scheduled for Friday, July 17; and,
WHEREAS, staff anticipates these concerts to have much the same traffic and
parking impact as home football games; and,
WHEREAS, to deter illegal parking that can block traffic and emergency vehicle
access, the implementation of the special penalty for illegal parking in the previously
adopted "Game Day and Events Parking Area" is recommended. The penalty for an illegal
parking violation in this area occurring between 6:00 a.m. and midnight on the day of the
event is $75.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that enacting Special Penalty Parking Enforcement for Spring 2026 Stadium
Concerts on April 11, 2026, and July 17, 2026, is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 24th day of March, 2026.
