liability burdens. Concerns were also raised about the maintenance of native plantings in
conservation areas.
Justin Dodge, of Hunziker Companies, explained that the trail connection was removed
in order to consolidate to a single pedestrian crossing point on Hyde Avenue. Regarding

ITEM #:11
DATE:05-12-26
DEPT:P&R
SUBJECT:LEASE AGREEMENT FOR ISU LAND ADJACENT MOORE MEMORIAL
PARK
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
Moore Memorial Park includes approximately 30 acres of land on the west side of Ioway
Creek. This land was leased to Iowa State University (ISU) for farming for many years. To
assist with the Water Pollution and Control's (WPC) Nutrient Reduction goals, the farmland
was converted to prairie in spring of 2023.
ISU is still farming approximately 24 acres of ISU land directly west of the Moore Memorial
Park prairie. ISU has decided to stop farming this area and is willing to lease this to the City at
no cost. Once the agreement is approved, the City would convert the farmland to prairie and
manage the prairie thereafter. The Water Pollution Control Department CIP - Watershed-
based Nutrient Reduction project has $75,000 in FY 2026/27 that will be used to cover the
cost of this conversion.
If Council approves this request for additional acres, there will be almost 55 acres of prairie
that helps reduce nutrient runoff into Ioway Creek. It'll also provide additional habitat for
pollinators, birds, and wildlife. Mowed paths through the prairie will be established for
individuals to use. By entering into this agreement, it will also keep heavy farm equipment off
of Scholl Road once a shared use path is established.
Attached is the Lease Agreement which is similar to the other leases (e.g. Brookside Park,
Stuart Smith Park) the City has with Iowa State University (ISU). Below are some highlights of
the Agreement:
Paragraph 1. Term - The agreement will be for 20 years, July 1, 2026 -June 30, 2046.
Paragraph 3. Consideration - There shall be no monetary payments for this lease.
Paragraph 4. Use of Leased Site - The City shall use the site only as public park and comply
with all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances.
Paragraph 5. Improvements - The City, at its expense, shall convert the land to prairie within
two years of the commencement of the agreement. The City may establish mown trails and
install interpretive signage on the leased site. It does state that any shared use path installed
within the leased area will be governed by a separate easement agreement.
Paragraph 7. Maintenance - This outlines that the City is responsible for maintaining the area
including associated costs. It also defines communication and consultation with ISU prior to
work being performed.
35
Paragraph 8. Hazardous Substances - Acknowledges that no environmental study has been
performed on this and allows the City to terminate the lease agreement if existing hazardous
substances are discovered on the leased site.
Paragraph 10. Emergency Services - The City shall be responsible for providing emergency
services but this does not contravene any existing or future 28E agreements between the City
and ISU.
Leasing of this land has been discussed with the Parks and Recreation Commission, and they
recommend City Council approve the lease agreement.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the lease agreement with ISU for 24 acres of land adjacent Moore Memorial
Park
2. Do not approve the lease agreement
3. Refer back to staff
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
This lease agreement is a win for several reasons: 1) it helps reduce nutrients entering the
surrounding waterways; 2) provides habitat for pollinators, birds, and wildlife; 3) it keeps heavy
farm equipment out of this area and off of a future shared use path; and 4) it provides a
natural recreation area for users to walk, watch birds, and enjoy nature. Funding is available in
the WPC CIP-Watershed-based Nutrient Reduction project and Parks and Recreation is
already maintaining the adjacent Moore Memorial Park prairie.
This is another positive example of the town and gown relationship the City has with
I S U . Therefore, it is the City Manager's recommendation that the City Council approve
Alternative #1 as stated above.

37
2
establish mown or mulched trails and install interpretive signage on the Leased Site. The City
shall not construct or install any other improvements on the Leased Site without the prior written
approval of ISU . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that they are entering
into a separate easement agreement that will permit the City to install a shared use path on a
portion of the Leased Site and that the easement agreement will govern the shared use path
and not this Lease Agreement.
6.NO WARRANTY. ISU makes no representations or warranties regarding the Leased
Site. The City is responsible for determining whether the Leased Site is suitable for its activities on
the Leased Site.
7.Maintenance. During the Term, the City shall, at its expense, care for and maintain
the Leased Site in a reasonably safe and serviceable condition. The City shall : maintain the native
prairie and any trails or signage it installs on the Leased Site; mow grass; remove weeds and
debris; prune and care for trees, bushes, and other vegetation ; and remove dead, no longer
thriving, or fallen trees, bushes, and other vegetation. The City shall confer with ISU prior to
cutting down any live trees on the Leased Site, but the City may trim dead and/or broken limbs
that create hazardous situations. The City shall do what is reasonably necessary to control soil
erosion resulting from the City’s use of the Leased Site, including maintenance and preservation
of existing watercourses and waterways. The City shall confer with ISU prior to taking any soil
erosion or other land management measures on the Leased Site, unless in the City’s judgment
such measures are immediately necessary to preserve or protect life or property or to comply
with environmental laws, in which instance the City may take immediate soil erosion or other
land management measures and shall notify ISU as soon as practicable thereafter. The City shall
coordinate its maintenance activities with an ISU designated point of contact to ensure the
activities do not interfere with ISU activities on adjacent ISU property. The City shall, when
requested by ISU and not more than annually, meet with ISU representatives to review the
Leased Site. The City shall provide ISU contact information for the individual ISU may contact if
ISU believes maintenance or repairs are needed and to whom ISU may refer inquiries received
from members of the public.
8.Hazardous Substances. Both parties acknowledge that no environmental study has
been performed on the Leased Site prior to entering into this Lease Agreement to determine if
any hazardous substances exist on the Leased Site prior to the City taking possession of it. The
City may terminate this Lease Agreement upon written notice to ISU if existing hazardous
substances are discovered on the Leased Site. The City shall not permit any hazardous substances
to be stored or handled on the Leased Site and shall be responsible for the removal of any
hazardous substances that are deposited on the Leased Site as a result of the City’s activities on
the Leased Site during the Term.
9.No Liens. The City shall pay or cause to be paid all costs for work done by it or
caused to be done by it on the Leased Site, and the City will keep the Leased Site free and clear
of all mechanics’ liens or claims relating to the City’s improvements and other liens on account of
work done for the City.
10.Emergency Services. The City shall be primarily responsible for providing
emergency services (e.g., fire protection, law enforcement) on the Leased Site. However, nothing
herein shall contravene any existing or future 28E Agreements between the parties unless
specifically stated. The City shall, when requested by ISU in writing and at no cost to ISU, provide
38
3
crime statistics related to the Leased Site within 30 days of ISU’s written request .
11.ISU Access. ISU may access the Leased Site to grow and harvest crops present on the
Leased Site as of the commencement of the Term until January 31, 2027. During the Term, ISU may
access the Leased Site to install and maintain on the Leased Site utility conduit, pipelines, and
similar items to supply utilities to property owned or controlled by ISU. ISU shall perform the
installation and maintenance in a manner reasonably calculated to minimize interference with the
City’s activities on the Leased Site and shall, at its expense, restore to its prior condition any
portion of the Leased Site, including any City improvement on the Leased Site, disrupted or
damaged by ISU’s work. ISU may also enter the Leased Site during the Term during regular business
hours for purposes of conducting periodic inspections of the Leased Site, provided such inspections
shall be subject to the terms of, and shall not interfere with, the rights of the City under this Lease
Agreement. During the Term, ISU may also access the Leased Site, in coordination with the City’s
designated contact, to conduct academic teaching, research, and outreach related to the flora,
fauna, and ecological processes occurring on the Leased Site.
12.Taxes. The parties anticipate that there will be no real estate taxes or assessments
assessed against the Leased Site or the City’s improvements. Should such taxes or assessments
be assessed, the City shall be responsible for the payment of such taxes or assessments.
13.Reversion to ISU. If ISU determines that it needs a portion of the Leased Site for its
own operations, the parties shall enter into an amendment to this Lease Agreement to remove
such portion from the legal description of the Leased Site. The cost to prepare an amended legal
description, including but not limited to surveying expense, shall be paid by ISU.
14.Termination. This Lease Agreement shall terminate upon expiration of this Lease
Agreement unless earlier terminated by mutual agreement of the parties or as otherwise set forth
in this section. ISU may terminate this Lease Agreement following the procedures set forth in this
section if one or more of the following events occur:

from the commencement of the Term;
b.The City uses the Leased Site for purposes other than as stated in Section 4; or
c.The City breaches a material term of this Lease Agreement and such breach is serious
and goes against the essence of the transaction. A breach is serious and goes against
the essence of the transaction only in the following cases:
i.The breach has caused or is reasonably expected to cause damages in
excess of $500,000, such amount to be adjusted annually each July 1 for inflation
using the Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index-Urban [CPI-U, All Items,
All City Average, 1982-84-100] issued in the preceding month; or
ii.The City has repeatedly breached a material term of this Lease Agreement
within any two-year period, or the City has engaged in a pattern of material breaches
of this Lease Agreement; provided, however, this clause may only apply where the
City’s breaches indicate deliberate indifference to the terms of this Lease.
39
4
ISU shall notify the City in writing of its intent to terminate this Lease Agreement and the nature of
event or breach ISU believes has occurred and shall provide the City with a reasonable period
commensurate with the nature of the event or breach to cure such event or breach. If the City fails
to cure such event or breach by the end of the cure period, ISU shall give at least 60 days advance
written notice, and termination shall be automatic at the end of the 60-day notice period, unless the
curative measures required cannot be accomplished by the City within 60 days due to seasonal
weather. Prior to the expiration of the 60-day notice period, the City may appeal to the Iowa Board
of Regents in accordance with the applicable appeal procedure (if any) in the Board Policy Manual to
contest whether the event or breach occurred, whether ISU provided a reasonable cure period, or
whether the City cured the event or breach. If the City files an appeal, the Lease Agreement shall not
be terminated while the appeal is pending. The foregoing shall in no way affect or impair the right of
either party to pursue any other legal or equitable remedy to which either party may be entitled.
15.Surrender of the Leased Site. Upon the termination of this Lease, the City shall
vacate the Leased Site. Unless ISU and the City have agreed otherwise in writing, the City shall
remove, at its expense, any signage, equipment, improvements, and personal property (“City
Property”) from the Leased Site and return the Leased Site to a safe, open space. The parties
agree to meet and determine a reasonable schedule for the removal of City Property.
16.Damage to ISU Property. The City shall not knowingly permit or allow the Leased
Site to be damaged or depreciated in value. The City shall promptly notify ISU of any damage
caused by the City to any real or personal property of ISU. At ISU’s request, the City shall repair or
replace the property damaged by the City, reimburse ISU for reasonable, documented expenses
incurred by ISU to repair or replace the property damaged by Grantee, or compensate ISU for the
loss of the property damaged by the City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties shall
mutually agree upon the most cost-effective and timely manner to fully repair the damage caused
by the City. Any damage caused by ISU will be the sole responsibility of ISU.
17.Third Party Claims. To the extent permitted by Chapter 670 of the Iowa Code and
other applicable law, the City shall indemnify and hold harmless Iowa State University of Science
and Technology, the Iowa Board of Regents, the State of Iowa, and their respective members,
officers, employees, and agents harmless from any claims, liabilities, damages, fines, and expenses
arising from the Leased Site or from any tort (as defined in Chapter 670 of the Iowa Code) arising
from the acts or omissions of the City or its officers or employees.
18.Insurance. The City shall maintain appropriate insurance coverage or self-insure
for liabilities that may arise from its activities set forth in this Lease Agreement.
19.Assignment and Subletting. Neither party shall assign this Lease Agreement
without the written permission of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any
subletting of the Leased Site is prohibited without ISU’s written permission, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Such permission from ISU shall not be necessary if the City desires to
enter into agreements with organizations and individuals to use the Leased Site periodically or
temporarily, so long as such use is consistent with the use of the Leased Site as a public park.
20.Notices. All notices under this Lease Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been given: (i) upon hand delivery or (ii) the next business day after sending it by
a nationally recognized overnight carrier with written confirmation of receipt. The parties shall

DEPT:P&R
SUBJECT:MOORE MEMORIAL PARK AND FUTURE SHARED USE PATH EASEMENT
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
In the City's Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan adopted by City Council in June 2024, it includes a
shared use path from Moore Memorial Park, across Ioway Creek, and continuing along Scholl
Road to Ontario Street. The first step for this path is to acquire easements on Iowa State
University (ISU) property. Staff has been working with ISU staff on developing an easement
agreement so a bridge can be installed over Ioway Creek and a future shared use path can be
installed on ISU property. A map of the easements is included in the attached agreement.
The effective date of the agreement is July 1, 2026. A summary of the agreement is shown
below:
Paragraph 2 Use - Defines the City shall use the easement area for the purpose of
constructing, installing, using, maintaining, and repairing a bridge and a shared use path that
is open to use by the public. Additionally, the City (Grantee) and ISU (Grantor) may use the
easement area as a route for maintenance vehicles and/or emergency vehicles.
Paragraph 4. b. Construction Plans - Unless mutually agreed otherwise, construction plans
shall require the following: (i) bridge will be a prefabricated steel truss style with concrete
abutments; (ii) bridge width and weight capacity (10,000 lbs recommended) must
accommodate maintenance and emergency vehicles; (iii) the bridge must include bollards to
prevent unauthorized vehicle access; (iv) path will be hard surfaced; (v) path will be no more
than 12' wide with 10' wide low-growing landscape buffer on each side where feasible; (vi)
screening to be installed to prevent public access to the Veenker Memorial Golf Course from
the shared use path; (vii) access points to be installed in the screening as requested by
Grantor; and (viii) relocate bulk material storage pad. The Grantee shall be solely responsible
for all expenses associated with the construction.
Paragraph 5 Maintenance and Repair - Grantee shall be solely responsible at its expense
for maintaining and repairing the easement area. Any damage caused by the Grantor will be
the sole responsibility of the Grantor.
Paragraph 10 Duration - Easement is granted, and all rights set forth in this agreement shall
endure, so long as Grantee continues to use the easement area for any of the purposes set
forth in paragraph 2 above in accordance with this agreement.
Once this agreement is approved by City Council, it will go the Board of Regents on June 9 for
approval.
Please note that funding of $400,000 is included in the 2026/27 CIP for installation of a bridge
46
over Ioway Creek. The funding includes an already awarded $200,000 Resource
Enhancement and Protection (REAP) grant from the Iowa DNR. Public Works included
$25,000 in its 2024/25 CIP for trail design and $100,000 in its 2025/26 CIP to construct a path
from Moore Memorial Park to the bridge. The goal is to get this first phase of path and bridge
completed in FY 2026/27.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the easement agreement with Iowa State University (ISU) to place a bridge and
future shared use path on ISU property
2. Do not approve the lease agreement
3. Refer back to staff
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
A trail connection from Moore Memorial Park to Ontario Street has been discussed for many
years and would provide residents and ISU students a new route between these sections of
town. This trail will also provide access to the recently planted prairie in Moore Memorial Park
on the west side of Ioway Creek.
To bring this trail connection to reality, it is necessary for the City to obtain an
easement from ISU. Approval of the easement agreement before Council will allow the
work to begin. Both ISU and the City realize the benefits this trail will provide to all
users. Therefore, it is the City Manager's recommendation to approve Alternative #1 as stated
above.

the Property or other Grantor owned property Grantee will need to use in support of
its construction. Grantee shall only use those areas set forth in the approved

Grantor’s prior written consent.
e. Utilities Crossings; Permission from Easement Holder. All crossings of existing
sewers, water lines, tile lines, electric lines, telecommunication lines, conduit, or
other existing facilities shall be made in cooperation with and subject to the
specifications of the engineer or other official of Grantor in charge of such
installations. Grantor and Grantee shall cooperate to locate the Easement Area in a
manner that minimizes conflicts with any pre-existing easements granted by Grantor.
If the Easement Area crosses an easement previously granted by Grantor to a utility
provider or other entity, prior to engaging in any construction activities in the
Easement Area, and with the assistance of the Grantor, Grantee shall obtain from the
easement holder its written consent to the easement granted to Grantee pursuant to
49
3
this Agreement and submit to Grantor a copy of the written consent. Grantee shall
abide by any restrictions imposed by the pre-existing easement holder as a condition
of its consent.

for restoring the Property and other Grantor property that Grantee uses in connection
with the construction once construction is completed. Grantee shall ensure that the
restoration is in accordance with the approved plans.

responsible at its expense for maintaining and repairing the Easement Area, including but
not limited to the bridge, bollards, the shared use path, the landscape buffer, , access points,

Grantor to repair or replace the property damaged by Grantee, or compensate Grantor
for the loss of the property damaged by Grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
parties shall mutually agree upon the most cost-effective and timely manner to fully
repair the damage caused by Grantee. Any damage caused by the Grantor will be the
sole responsibility of the Grantor.

50
4

SUBJECT:APPROVING STATE REVOLVING LOAN AGREEMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF
$5,700,000 TO BE REPAID WITH SEWER UTILITY REVENUES
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
This resolution represents the final step in authorizing a not-to-exceed amount of $5,700,000
in Sewer Revenue Bonds through the Iowa State Clean Water State Revolving Fund
(CWSRF) Program. The purpose of this loan is to support the City’s annual program for
rehabilitation and reconstruction of deficient sanitary sewers and deteriorated manholes at
various locations throughout the city.
The goal of this program is to identify and remove major sources of inflow/infiltration (I/I) as a
means of lowering the peak wet weather flow at the treatment plant. By eliminating I/I in these
sewer mains, the sanitary sewer system will also regain needed capacity. This project
includes the rehabilitation and lining of sanitary sewer segments along E. Lincoln Way
and the Nikkol Trunk Line, extending from E. Lincoln Way to south of U.S. Highway 30.
On March 24, 2026, the City Council approved a resolution proceeding with additional action
for the authorization of a Loan and Disbursement Agreement and the issuance of Sewer
Revenue Bonds (SRF Loan) in an amount not to exceed $5,700,000. The Council also
approved the final plans and specifications and awarded a contract to Municipal Pipe Tool Co.
LLC in the amount of $4,462,230.40. Staff believes that utilizing the CWSRF to fund these
improvements is in the City’s best interest. The program has a long history of providing below-
market-rate loans to municipalities for utility improvements, including several prior loans to the
City of Ames.
The current rate offered by the CWSRF program for a 20-year loan is 3.00%, with an
additional 0.25% annual servicing fee and a $28,500 origination fee. The 20-year loan is
estimated to have total debt service costs of $7,747,638.74. Repayment of the loan will
be funded through sewer utility revenues, which have been incorporated into the
financial model used to project future rate increases.
Based on current market conditions and information provided by the City’s financial advisor, if
the City were to issue Sewer Revenue Bonds in the open market, the true interest cost would
likely range between 4.00% and 4.25%. Additionally, bonds issued in the public market would
require a debt service reserve fund and higher debt service coverage requirements than those
associated with the CWSRF program. Staff believes this further confirms that utilizing the
CWSRF program as the funding source for this project represents the lowest-cost alternative.
ALTERNATIVES:
58
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt a resolution approving a State Revolving Fund Agreement in the amount of
$5,700,000 to be repaid with Sewer Utility revenues.
2. Do not approve the Loan and Disbursement Agreement and provide staff with additional
direction regarding the project’s financing.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorization of the loan agreement will allow the City to access State Revolving Funds
to finance necessary improvements to the City’s sewer collection system. The financing
terms of the CWSRF program represent the most cost-effective method for funding the
project. The principal and interest payments associated with the loan have been
incorporated into the Sewer Fund rate design. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the
City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as noted above.

COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
This resolution represents the final step in authorizing a not-to-exceed amount of $2,100,000
in Sewer Revenue Bonds through the Iowa State Clean Water State Revolving Fund Program
(C W SR F ). The purpose of this loan is to support the City’s annual program for the

SUBJECT:FY 2026/27 AIRPORT ENTRYWAY IMPROVEMENT (SOUTH PARKING LOT
EXPANSION)
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) includes the FY 2026/27 Airport Entryway
Improvements program, which provides for expansion of paved parking areas and related
access improvements at the James Herman Banning Ames Municipal Airport. This phase
focuses on development of the southern portion of the planned parking expansion to address
existing parking demand. This is the first phase of a multi-phase parking expansion program.
In August 2023, staff completed a qualifications-based selection process in accordance with
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements and selected Bolton & Menk, Inc. to
provide professional engineering services under a Master Agreement. Each subsequent
project is authorized under a separate Task Order approved by the City Council.
Due to current uncertainties at the federal level, including past federal government
shutdowns, the pending expiration of Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)
funding authorizations, and the high volume of projects being administered by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Central Region, this project has been placed on
an accelerated schedule to meet federal funding deadlines. To maintain eligibility for
federal funding and the accelerated timeline, Bolton & Menk proceeded with design
services at its own risk prior to formal approval of this Task Order. Note that this was
undertaken at at Bolton and Menk's discretion and not at the direction of City staff.
The engineering services performed to date have been completed in accordance with FAA
standards and City of Ames requirements, consistent with all federally funded airport projects.
The proposed Task Order #8 provides for design services completed to date, as well as
bidding, construction administration, and inspection services for the Airport Parking Lot
Improvements project. Staff has received authorization to bid, which represents the FAA’s
concurrence that the design meets all applicable requirements.
An Independent Fee Evaluation (IFE) was completed by DGR Engineering in
accordance with FAA requirements. The IFE determined that the proposed engineering
fee is reasonable, consistent with industry standards, and meets federal auditing
requirements.
The FY 2026/27 CIP anticipates $560,000 in federal grant participation for this phase of the
project. Based on current FAA grant programming, the City now anticipates receiving
$584,000 in federal funding, which exceeds the amount identified in the CIP. This
additional federal participation will reduce reliance on local funding for this phase of
the project.
62
The table below summarizes the most current revenues and expenses for this phase of the
project:
Revenues Expenses

Bonds $140,000 Administration and Independent Fee
Evaluation $4,750

(This Council Action)
$144,800
Construction (Estimated)$549,000
Total Revenues $724,000 Total Expenses $698,550
The difference between total revenues and expenses provides a contingency to address
potential bid variability and construction-related adjustments.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the Professional Services Agreement (Task Order #8) with Bolton & Menk, Inc.,
in an amount not to exceed $144,800, for design, bidding, and construction
administration and inspection services associated with the FY 2026/27 Airport Entryway
Improvement (South Parking Lot Expansion) project.
2. Reject the Professional Services Agreement and direct staff to solicit alternative
proposals.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The proposed Airport Parking Lot Improvements project will expand paved parking
capacity, improve safety, and enhance the functionality of the airport as a gateway to
the Ames community. The engineering fee has been independently evaluated and
determined to be reasonable. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that
the City Council approve Alternative No. 1, as shown above.

DESCRIPTION
The CONSULTANT agrees to provide Design, Bidding and Construction Administration Engineering
Services for the Reconstruction Entrance Road and Parking Lot Improvements at the Ames Municipal
Airport (herein referred to as the PROJECT) that consist of following scope of work:
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
This project will provide for installation of parking lot improvements at the Ames Municipal Airport. This
project will convert existing parking lot areas servicing the terminal area for the Ames Municipal Airport.
The existing parking lot is comprised of a mix of surfaces used for parking lot. There is the existing concrete
parking area, granular surfaced areas and grass areas available for parking vehicles. This project will result
in increased paved surfacing for parking existing vehicular traffic already utilizing the airport and parking
in the temporarily placed granular surfaced parking areas.
In the future, the City of Ames will expand on the parking lot provided by FAA funding and develop the
parking area available like what is shown in the airport ALP with local funding. Any engineering efforts
beyond a preliminary grading concept to ensure that the future improvements will be cohesive with
improvements constructed as part of this project, may be incorporated into this project task order by the
sponsor via a future contract amendment.
The improvements proposed to be completed as part of this task order, will be utilized for the design
and construction of the improvement as shown in Exhibit III – Site Layout Exhibit. The services to be
provided will be to the minimum required to allow for construction of the project improvements (i.e.
base bid improvements). Additional services can be provided for providing alternate bids for additional
improvements desired by the client or to maximize the funding. Those additional services shall be
considered extra and could be added via for a future amendment.
This work will follow the requirements of the following FAA Advisory Circulars (A.C.’s) current as the date
of this agreement:
• AC 150/5370-10H, Standards for Specifications for Construction of Airports

The Contractor certifies:
1) It is not a corporation that has any unpaid Federal tax liability that has been assessed, for which
all judicial and administrative remedies have been exhausted or have lapsed, and that is not
being paid in a timely manner pursuant to an agreement with the authority responsible for
collecting the tax liability. A tax delinquency is any unpaid Federal tax liability that has been
assessed, for which all judicial and administrative remedies have been exhausted, or have
lapsed, and that is not being paid in a timely manner pursuant to an agreement with the
authority responsible for collecting the tax liability.
2) It is not a corporation that was convicted of a criminal violation under any Federal law within
the preceding 24 months. A felony conviction is a conviction within the preceding twenty four
(24) months of a felony criminal violation under any Federal law and includes conviction of an
offense defined in a section of the U.S. Code that specifically classifies the offense as a felony
and conviction of an offense that is classified as a felony under 18 USC § 3559.
The Contractor agrees to incorporate the above certification in all lower tier subcontracts.
TRADE RESTRICTION CERTIFICATION
Reference: 49 USC § 50104
49 CFR Part 30
By submission of an offer, the Offeror certifies that with respect to this solicitation and any resultant
contract, the Offeror:
1) is not owned or controlled by one or more citizens of a foreign country included in the list of
countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by the Office of the United States Trade
Representative (USTR);
2) has not knowingly entered into any contract or subcontract for this project with a person that is a
citizen or national of a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S.
firms as published by the USTR; and
88
Page 8 of 18 Updated December 29, 2025
3) has not entered into any subcontract for any product to be used on the Federal project that is
produced in a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms
published by the USTR.
This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States of America
and the making of a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the maker subject to
prosecution under Title 18 USC § 1001.
The Offeror/Contractor must provide immediate written notice to the Owner if the Offeror/Contractor
learns that its certification or that of a subcontractor was erroneous when submitted or has become
erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. The Contractor must require subcontractors provide
immediate written notice to the Contractor if at any time it learns that its certification was erroneous by
reason of changed circumstances.
Unless the restrictions of this clause are waived by the Secretary of Transportation in accordance with
49 CFR § 30.17, no contract shall be awarded to an Offeror or subcontractor:
1) who is owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country included on the
list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the USTR; or
2) whose subcontractors are owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign
country on such USTR list; or
3) who incorporates in the public works project any product of a foreign country on such USTR list.
Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in
order to render, in good faith, the certification required by this provision. The knowledge and
information of a contractor is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent
person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
The Offeror agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will incorporate this
provision for certification without modification in all lower tier subcontracts. The Contractor may rely on
the certification of a prospective subcontractor that it is not a firm from a foreign country included on
the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by USTR, unless the Offeror has
knowledge that the certification is erroneous.
This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making an
award. If it is later determined that the Contractor or subcontractor knowingly rendered an erroneous
certification, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may direct through the Owner cancellation of
the contract or subcontract for default at no cost to the Owner or the FAA.
VETERAN’S PREFERENCE
Reference: 49 USC § 47112(c)
In the employment of labor (excluding executive, administrative, and supervisory positions), the

issued the termination for the convenience of the Owner.
b) Termination by Consultant: The Consultant may terminate this Agreement for cause in whole or
in part, if the Owner:
1. Defaults on its obligations under this Agreement;
2. Fails to make payment to the Consultant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
3. Suspends the project for more than one hundred eighty (180) days due to reasons beyond
the control of the Consultant.
Upon receipt of a notice of termination from the Consultant, Owner agrees to cooperate with
Consultant for the purpose of terminating the agreement or portion thereof, by mutual consent. If
Owner and Consultant cannot reach mutual agreement on the termination settlement, the
Consultant may, without prejudice to any rights and remedies it may have, proceed with
terminating all or parts of this Agreement based upon the Owner’s breach of the contract.
In the event of termination due to Owner breach, the Consultant is entitled to invoice Owner and to
receive full payment for all services performed or furnished in accordance with this Agreement and
all justified reimbursable expenses incurred by the Consultant through the effective date of
termination action. Owner agrees to hold Consultant harmless for errors or omissions in documents
that are incomplete as a result of the termination action under this clause.

DEPT:ELEC
SUBJECT:GENERATION INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT WITH MID-CONTINENT
INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPOERATOR (MISO)
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
Electric Services is undertaking a project to design and construct a new electric generating
facility. The City has retained Sargent & Lundy to provide the standard design services, along
with support in obtaining all permits and regulatory permissions required to construct the
facility.
One of the permissions needed is a Generation Interconnection Agreement (GIA) from the
Mid-Continent Independent System Operator (MISO). MISO is the regional transmission grid
operator. The operator studies the impact of new generation on the electric grid and
determines whether the proposed new generating assets will require system upgrades to
support generation-to-load requirements. These studies include a steady state, short circuit
analysis, and stability studies. The completed studies will identify overloads or limitations on
the electric grid which must be corrected before the new generation can be connected.
When a generator interconnect project is submitted to MISO for study, MISO requires the
developer/utility to make certain financial commitments to support the costs of the studies. The
payments include:
1) A non-refundable application fee (D1) = $7,000.
- Paid by ACH /wire payment only
2) Study Deposits (D2) based on the amount of new Interconnection Service and/or
Interconnection Rights requested. Based on the size of Ames' proposed generation, the
study deposit amount is $270,000. The deposit is used by MISO to cover the study costs
listed above. If the study does not require a substantially complex analysis and the actual
costs to perform the study are less, any funds not spent are returned to the developer/utility.
- Paid by ACH/wire payment only
It is these two payments that City staff is seeking approval to complete. If the City
receives preliminary approval from MISO to proceed once the initial study is performed,
then a third expenditure will be required at a later date for Milestone (M2), as described
below:
3) Milestone (M2) = $24,000/MW. This payment is intended to make it costly for a developer
to submit a possible new generation project and then back out or does not build the project
after receiving an approved Generator Interconnection Agreement. This is paid in the form of
cash or a Letter of Credit that is only "cashed" if the developer does not proceed with the
generation project. This amount will be due later in the study process.
102
- Paid by ACH/wire payment or Irrevocable Letter of Credit
The costs for these studies will be financed from the New Thermal Generation Capital
Improvement Project. The adopted 2026-2031 Capital Improvements Plan contains a New
Thermal Generation Project that indicates a total project cost of $84 million, financed from a
combination of Electric Revenue Bonds and the Electric Utility Fund balance. In accordance
with the staff report delivered to the City Council on April 21, 2026, the total project cost has
been increased to a projected amount of $190 million. The revised estimate will be
incorporated into future CIPs and funded from future Electric Revenue Bond issues.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve payment to Mid-Continent Independent System Operator (MISO) in the amount
of $277,000 for a Generation Interconnection Agreement application.
2. Do not approve the agreement.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Electric Services is in the process of adding new electric generation resources. It is
required that MISO perform a series of studies to ensure the regional grid is not
negatively impacted when the new generation is operating. Without the completion of
these studies, MISO will not provide a Generator Interconnection Agreement,
preventing Ames from connecting the new generation plant to the transmission system.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative
1, as described above.

SUBJECT:GENERATOR STEP-UP (GSU) TRANSFORMER FOR AMES MUNICIPAL
ENERGY CENTER
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The Electric Services Department is in the process of designing a new thermal generation
facility called the Ames Municipal Energy Center (AMEC). The facility will utilize reciprocating
internal combustion engines (RICE unites) to generate electricity. The initial phase of the
project will include three RICE units, and a further three will be installed in the future for a total
of six units. Each set of three RICE units will be connected to a Generator Step-Up
Transformer (GSU) to transmit the electricity to the utility's electric grid. The transformer has a
long lead time to manufacture and deliver.
The City has retained Sargent & Lundy to assist in the design and specification of the AMEC,
including preparing specifications for the GSU and analyzing the bids received. The
Engineer's estimate for this equipment is $3,600,000. On February 20, 2026, an Invitation
to Bid was posted to AmesBids by Purchasing, for the purchase of a GSU. On April 24, 2026,
10 bids were received as shown in the table below:

Staff and Sargent & Lundy are in the process of evaluating each bid to make sure they meet
the specifications. This includes the size and performance capabilities of the equipment being
bid, the efficiency of each unit, the place of origin and delivery methods, delivery times, the
offered payment schedule, etc.
While the purchase of the GSU is not a public improvement project that requires bids to be
reported to City Council, staff thought it best to continue to keep Council informed because it is
a major piece of equipment for the new Ames Municipal Energy Center. Therefore, the
Council action requested at this time is to accept the report of bids and delay the award
so staff and Sargent & Lundy can thoroughly evaluate the bids to ensure a quality
product is selected for the award. Staff anticipates returning to Council at the May 26
meeting with a recommendation to award a contract.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Accept the report of bids and delay the award to provide staff additional time to evaluate
bids.
2. Reject all bids and direct staff to rebid.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The purchase of the GSU is the first significant construction milestone in the
development of the Ames Municipal Energy Center. It is essential for staff to take the
time to thoroughly evaluate the bids to ensure a quality product is selected for the
award, while remaining sensitive to the long lead times necessary to construct and
deliver this equipment. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City
Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above.

equipment, vessels, boilers, and accessories throughout the Power Plant; 2) repair and
replacement of lagging systems; repair and replacement of jacketing systems; and installation
of new jacketing systems; and 3) fire-stopping insulation and sound attenuation insulation.
On June 11, 2024, Council awarded a contract to HTH Companies Inc., Union, MO, for the
Non-Asbestos Insulation and Related Services and Supply Contract at the Power Plant. This
contract included the option for the City to renew in one-year increments for up to four
additional years. This is the second renewal out of four possible renewal periods. The City
Council should note that the rates which will be charged by HTH Companies Inc. will
increase 3% compared to the current year.
The benefits of having a contract for these services in place include the following:
Consistency of work and quality from a single contractor.
Reduction in the City’s exposure to market forces regarding prices and availability for
labor, travel, and supplies in preparation for a scheduled outage.
Rapid contractor mobilization to start emergency repairs, thus reducing generation
downtime.
Saved City staff time obtaining quotes, evaluating bids and preparing specifications, and
other procurement documentation.
The approved FY 2026/27 Power Plant operating budget includes $150,000 for this
contract. Invoices will be calculated using the contractually agreed rates for time and
materials, based solely on services actually rendered.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the contract renewal with HTH Companies, Inc., of Union, MO, for the Non-
Asbestos Insulation and Related Services and Supply Contract at the Power Plant for the
one-year period from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 in an amount not-to-exceed

the Power Plant.
On May 13, 2025, Ames City Council awarded a contract to ChemTreat, Inc., of Glen Allen,
VA, for the Chemical Treatment Program Contract for Power Plant. The contract includes an
option that would allow the City to renew the contract for up to four additional one-year terms.
This is the first of four additional renewal contract periods.
Based on projected overall usage of the chemicals and run time of the equipment, the
proposed FY 2026/27 contract is expected to increase actual costs by approximately
4%. Electric S ervices staff determined the proposed increases of the various chemicals to be
acceptable.
The benefits of having a contract for these services in place include the following:
1. Reliability in delivery and quality supplies from a single contractor.
2. Reduction in the City’s exposure to market forces regarding prices and availability of
supplies.
3. Rapid contractor mobilization to receive materials on time.
4. Saved City staff time obtaining quotes, evaluating bids and preparing specifications and
other procurement documentation.
The approved FY 2026/27 Electric Production operating budget includes $398,000.
Payments will be based on unit prices bid and the chemicals and services actually
delivered by the contractor and accepted by the Power Plant.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Award a contract to ChemTreat, Inc., Glen Allen, VA, for Chemical Treatment Program
for the one-year period from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 in an amount not-to-
exceed $398,000.
2. Reject the proposal and instruct staff to seek new competitive bids.
108
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The chemicals and services received under this contract are critical to optimal
operation of the Power Plant. Competent treatment of the water in the boiler and
cooling tower systems is essential to keeping the Plant in top operating condition. It is
important to receive chemicals and related treatment services for the Power Plant at the
lowest possible cost consistent with the quality required to maintain Plant operations. It
is also necessary to lock in prices and accountability with key contractors. Therefore, it
is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1 as
stated above.

DEPT:W&PC
SUBJECT:FY 2026/27 PEBBLE LIME PURCHASE FOR WATER TREATMENT
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
Pebble lime is used in the water treatment process to remove water hardness.
Approximately 2,900 tons are used annually, and it is the largest chemical cost for the
Water Plant. On June 30, the City's existing contract for a supply of lime will expire.
The expiring contract did not include a provision for a renewal, so the contract has been rebid.
The invitation to bid contained an option for an extension into FY 2027/28. On April 21, 2026,
bids were received as follows:
Bidder 7/1/2026 - 6/30/2027
Price Per Ton
Optional Extension
7/1/2026 - 6/30/2027
Mississippi Lime Company
St. Louis, MO $248.93 $257.93
Graymont Western Lime Inc. West Bend, WI $251.00 $260.00
Lhoist North America of Missouri, Inc. St.
Genevieve, MO $729.78 No Bid
The low bid of $248.93 per ton for FY 2026/27 represents a decrease of 0.90% compared
to the current contract pricing of $251.20 per ton. Staff is recommending approval of the
contract with Mississippi Lime Company, St. Louis, Mo. The FY 2026/27 operating budget
estimates 3,300 tons at $268 per ton for a total of $884,400.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Award a contract for the purchase of pebble lime in FY 2026/27 to Mississippi Lime
Company of St. Louis, MO at a unit price of $248.93 per ton.
2. Determine that another bid is in the best interest of the City and award to that bidder.
3. Reject all bids and attempt to obtain the required supplies on an as-needed basis.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
An adequate supply of pebble lime is essential for the established water softening
process at the City's Water Treatment Plant. Mississippi Lime Company has
demonstrated the ability to dependably provide this product at a competitive rate. The
bid price from Mississippi Lime is a decrease from the prior year contract and is below
the budgeted unit price. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the
City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above.

ITEM #:21
DATE:05-12-26
DEPT:ELEC
SUBJECT:ELECTRIC POWER PLANT UNIT 8 BATTERY REPLACEMENT
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The Power Plant battery system provides reliable backup power for critical plant operations,
ensuring functionality during a loss of normal power. The battery system supplies energy to
plant control systems, protection relays, breaker trip and control circuits, instrumentation, and
emergency shutdown systems, allowing the plant to safely respond to plant power outages
and maintain control under all conditions.
Over time, these backup batteries deteriorate due to normal chemical aging, leading to
decreased capacity, higher internal resistance, and an increased likelihood of failure when
placed under load. Because these issues are often not evident during routine operation,
continued use of aging batteries poses significant operational and safety risks. The batteries
used to back up Unit 8's systems have reached the end of their lifespan and need to be
replaced.
On March 4, 2026, an Invitation to Bid was posted to AmesBids by Purchasing. On April 1,
2026, three bids were received as shown in the table below.
BIDDER BASE BID ADD ALTERNATE
#1
ADD ALTERNATE
#2
Electrorep Energy Products
St. Louis, MO $130,785.81 $9,184.76 $14,325.26
American Power Systems, LLC
Kent, WA $152,172.69 No Bid $8,397.46
PWR Storage Solutions LLC
Dallas, TX $159,138.73 No Bid $4,280.00
The base bid includes the supply and installation of replacement batteries, battery
accessories, and disposal of the existing batteries. Alternate #1 included the removal and
disposal of the existing battery support racking, and installation of replacement battery
racking. Alternate #2 included the supply and installation of battery spill containment systems,
including containment beds, and absorption and neutralizing pillows.
After evaluating the bids, staff determined that the existing racking system was in good
condition. Add Alternate #1 is therefore not recommended for award. Staff determined
that the containment systems add an important layer of protection against battery
electrolyte leaks or spills, and therefore, staff is recommending awarding Add Alternate
#2. The low base bid, together with Add Alternate #2, from Electrorep Energy Products,
of St. Louis, MO, is acceptable. The total award amount is $145,111.07.
111
There is $80,000 budgeted for this project. The $65,111.07 shortfall will be covered
from the Unit 8 Equipment Parts and Supplies account where there is savings available
due to needing to purchase fewer spare parts than anticipated.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Award a contract to Electrorep Energy Products, of St. Louis, MO, for Unit 8 Battery
Replacement at the Power Plant, including the base bid and add alternate #2, in the
amount of $145,111.07 (inclusive of sales tax).
2. Award a contract to another bidder.
3. Do not approve the contract and delay the project.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The backup battery system is critical to safe and reliable power plant operation. Over
time, batteries naturally degrade, resulting in reduced capacity, increased internal
resistance, and a higher risk of failure under load. Because these failures are often not
apparent during normal conditions, reliance on aged batteries introduces significant
operational and safety risk, including the potential inability to maintain control during
an emergency. Proactive replacement ensures the system will perform as required
during critical events, maintaining system reliability, protecting equipment, and
supporting overall plant safety. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager
that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above.

ITEM #:22
DATE:05-12-26
DEPT:W&PC
SUBJECT:WATER POLLUTION CONTROL FACILITY THREE-YEAR BIOSOLIDS
HAULING CONTRACT
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The City of Ames Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) produces approximately 30,000
gallons of Class II biosolids each day. Throughout the year, biosolids are stored in the
facility's biosolids storage lagoon and secondary digester. Ultimately, these solids are
disposed of by land application as fertilizer on City-owned farm ground adjacent the WPCF.
On July 8, 2025, City Council awarded a contract in an amount not-to-exceed $104,687.50 to
Wulfekuhle Injection & Pumping of Peosta, Iowa, to complete the first year of a three-year
biosolids disposal contract at the WPCF. The contract is renewable annually for up to a total of
three years, dependent upon successful performance by the contractor each year. All work
under the FY 2025/26 contract was completed to the satisfaction of staff and in accordance
with the contract. A total of 3,089,729 gallons of biosolids were land-applied from the digester
and lagoon at a final cost of $89,787.65. Staff is recommending that Council accept
completion of the work under the FY 2025/26 contract.
The bid for FY 2026/27 includes an estimated quantity of three million gallons at a unit cost of
$0.0269 per gallon, plus $5,000 for mobilization to the site, for an estimated annual total of
$85,700 for lagoon biosolids disposal. Wulfekuhle provided a uniform bid price that is
constant across all three years of the contract with no annual cost escalators.
Because the work takes place in a very short window each fall, staff is recommending that the
award include a not-to-exceed amount that allows for up to a 25% increase in the quantities
disposed. The rationale for this unusual step is that it would not be possible to obtain Council
approval for a change order on short notice if one was necessary during the fall hauling
window. Staff is recommending that the FY 2026/27 contract be awarded to Wulfekuhle,
and that the contract’s not-to-exceed amount be for a maximum total of $107,125. The
FY 2026/27 operating budget includes $115,000 for this work.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. a. Accept completion of the FY 2025/26 ("Year One") contract in a final amount of
$89,787.65
b. Award the FY 2026/27 ("Year Two") contract for biosolids disposal to Wulfekuhle
Injection & Pumping of Peosta, Iowa, with payment based on the unit prices bid of
$5,000 lump sum per mobilization, $0.0269 per gallon for annual lagoon biosolids
hauling operations, and $0.10 per gallon for digester cleaning with the total contract
amount not to exceed $107,125.
113
2. Accept completion of Year One, and direct staff to solicit new bids for FY 2026/27.
3. Accept completion of Year One, and direct staff to purchase the equipment necessary to
perform the work with City staff.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Disposal of biosolids at the WPC Facility is necessary for uninterrupted operation of the facility
and continued permit compliance. Wulfekuhle Injection & Pumping has successfully completed
the work required for FY 2025/26. The contract can be renewed for a second year with no
increase in the unit pricing. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the
City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above.

ITEM #:23
DATE:05-12-26
DEPT:FLEET
SUBJECT:PURCHASE OF SEWER CAMERA SYSTEM FOR PUBLIC WORKS UTILITY
MAINTENANCE
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
Public Works Utility Maintenance has a current sewer televising system that has reached the
end of its planned lifecycle and is due for replacement. During discussions with Fleet and
Public Works staff, it was suggested that the replacement equipment should be upgraded and
meet future high-definition abilities to take advantage of artificial intelligence (AI), which could
reduce the amount of staff time necessary in identifying defects and service connections.
Another consideration is having the ability to repair the equipment locally and provide parts to
the camera system, which is not currently available for the existing camera system. The
camera system is subject to severe conditions and requires continuous maintenance and
replacement parts.
Staff considered these needs and determined that the best camera system to meet the
current, future, and repair needs is the IBAK camera system. This camera system
includes several features not available on other major camera systems, including a fiber optic
cable to the camera, allowing for 4K imagery capture. The fiber optic cable also allows for
further reach than the traditional cable on other camera systems. Additionally, the IBAK
camera system has a reel with a power winch that is synchronized with the tractor to prevent
cable damage.
Specifying these items would limit vendors who can meet the specifications to one
vendor. Staff approached Armor Equipment to see if there was a cooperative contract
to obtain the best value on the camera system. The IBAK camera system is on the
national Sourcewell contract with a 4% discount off the listed price. The final price if
Council approves this request is $206,985.
Replacement funds in the amount of $213,324 are available for this purchase at the time
of delivery.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Waive the Purchasing Policies and Procedures requirement for competitive bids and
award a contract to Armor Equipment Co., Inc., of Johnston, IA, for the purchase of a
sewer camera system in the amount of $206,985.
2. Do not approve the purchase.
115
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approving this contract to obtain the camera system gives Public Works - Utility
Maintenance a quality camera at the best value. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the
City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1 as described above.
116
ITEM #:24
DATE:05-12-26
DEPT:FLEET
SUBJECT:PURCHASE OF SIX SEMI-TRUCKS FOR RESOURCE RECOVERY FOR THE
NEW R3C
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
With the anticipated opening of the Resource Recovery Recycling Campus (R3C) in 2027, the
City needs to purchase semi-trucks to haul refuse to the Carroll County Landfill and recyclable
materials to a material recovery facility. It is estimated that over 65,000 tons of materials will
need to be transported each year, resulting in over 2,600 truck trips annually. These will be the
first semi-trucks the City purchases for hauling in this continuous, heavy-duty capacity.
Staff from Resource Recovery and Fleet discussed the purchase of the trucks and
determined that the best value would be obtained by using a cooperative contract to
purchase the semi-trucks from International Trucks. There are a number of reasons to
use a cooperative contract versus obtaining competitive bids. It is imperative that the trucks
run as much as possible and can use B100 to meet the City’s sustainability goals. The
proposed semi-trucks are International brand with the local dealership being Ascendence
Truck Centers located in Altoona, IA. There is also an Ascendence dealership in Carroll, Iowa,
where the refuse will be hauled. This will reduce the amount of towing back to Des Moines and
allow the trucks to be repaired at an authorized dealership near the new landfill if issues arise
during operations.
International trucks and specifically Ascendance Truck Centers have been involved in
installing the Optimus B100 system on the City's existing snowplow trucks. The B100 system
will be installed by Ascendance and does not require the City to install the system after the
truck is delivered. International trucks also use a Cummins engine, which is the engine in all
the snowplow trucks that use B100. Fleet Services staff is familiar with maintaining,
diagnosing, and repairing Cummins engines. The Cummins engine also allows for the easy
acquisition of parts, and can be worked on by any authorized heavy truck repair center.
Coordinating these efforts under one vendor will provide for less downtime, which is an
advantage for the operations of the new R3C.
In the financial model prepared for the R3C it was assumed that the trucks would achieve a
fuel efficiency of 7.0 miles per gallon, resulting in the consumption of 303,680 gallons in the
first full calendar year of operation. It is estimated that the International trucks selected will
achieve this fuel efficiency based on the anticipated operations. However, semi truck vendors
will not provide official estimates of fuel mileage as it is impacted by drivers, speed, weather,
and weight of loads.
The cost for the trucks is established through a national cooperative contract with
Sourcewell of Staples, MN. The State of Iowa purchases from International through the
same contract. The cost for each truck would be $205,064, including selected options
117
and an extended 5-year, 400,000-mile engine warranty. Per the Sourcewell contract, this
purchase price provides a 49.5% discount off the listed price. The City would be
purchasing six trucks for a total of $1,230,384. This purchase will expedite the delivery
to the City to have the trucks by winter of this year to ensure readiness to haul refuse
as soon as it is possible to do so.
Funding for this purchase comes from the 2026/27 Resource Recovery and Recycling
Campus Mobile Equipment Capital Improvements Project. This project contains $2,340,000 in
contributions from the Electric Fund due to savings realized in operational expenses at the
Power Plant once transfer operations begin and waste-to-energy operations cease.
The procurement of the transfer trailers will proceed utilizing traditional bidding methods.
Results will be brought to City Council for review and approval at a future meeting. In addition,
staff is pursuing the purchase of a used "yard truck" that will be used to move trailers around
the R3C site and haul them to Fleet Services for repairs.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Waive the Purchasing Policies and Procedures requirement for competitive bids and
award a contract to Ascendance Trucks Midwest of Altoona, IA, for the purchase of six
semi-trucks in the amount of $1,230,384.
2. Do not approve the purchase.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approving this contract to obtain the six semi-trucks will allow for the R3C to have
reliable, sustainable semi-trucks in time for the beginning of hauling operations. Staff
believes the proposed trucks and procurement approach will suit the needs of
Resource Recovery and Fleet Services staff as this new operation begins. Therefore, it
is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1 as
described above.

COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The Resource Recovery and Recycling Campus (R3C) project represents a new method for
handling solid waste, recycling, and yard waste for the City of Ames and partner agencies.
This project includes the construction of a new transfer station to receive, process, and
transport solid waste to the City's new landfill partner in Carroll County. Additionally the
project will include a receiving area for recyclables that will then be transported to a material
recovery facility and an area for yard waste collection.
The new R3C facility will be located at 220 Freel Drive. In advance of bidding and construction
activities, City staff solicited quotes in January 2027 for removal of trees and vegetation on the
site. A contract was awarded to J. Pettiecord, Inc. of Bondurant, IA in the amount of $27,450.
One change order, in the amount of $5,250, was administratively approved by staff to include
additional tree clearing along Freel Drive.
The site clearing was completed just as the final design of the R3C project was being
prepared for bidding. This timing was necessary due to the accelerated timeframe in which
the project design was performed in order to facilitate an early spring construction. As such,
the impacts at the very edges of the R3C site were not immediately clear and staff made its
best estimate as to which trees required removal and which would be able to stay.
Now that construction activities have commenced at the R3C site, formal project layout
and survey activities have indicated a line of trees and brush along the eastern edge of
the R3C property that need to be removed in order for construction to continue. This
work is represented as Change Order No. 2 in the amount of $13,900 and will be
performed by J. Pettiecord, Inc of Bondurant, IA. Because this change order amount is
over 20% of the original purchase order, City Council approval is necessary.

$13,900.
2. Direct staff to pursue other alternatives to remove the trees and brush.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Removal of the additional trees and brush is necessary to continue with site
development for the construction of the R3C project. Approval of the change order will
allow this work to occur and keep the project on schedule for an opening in spring
2027. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative 1, as described above.

SUBJECT:FINAL AMENDMENT TO FY 2025/26 BUDGET
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The City's annual budget is modified several times during the year to account for changes
from the revenues and expenditures that were anticipated at the time the budget was adopted.
The final amendment allows the City to modify the annual budget one final time before the end
of the fiscal year. Typically, adjustments made through final amendments include: new
grants/funding sources, modifications to CIP schedules or costs, material programmatic
changes, and other significant changes in revenues/expenses.
The deadline to adopt a final amendment to the FY 2025/26 budget is May 31. A public
hearing must be held prior to adoption of the final amendment. Staff is proposing that the City
Council hold the public hearing for the final amendments for FY 2025/26 during the regularly
scheduled City Council meeting on May 26, 2026.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt a resolution establishing May 26, 2026, as the date of the public hearing on the
final amendments to the FY 2025/26 Budget.
2. Delay the hearing and resolution.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The final budget amendment is the last opportunity to modify the adopted City budget to
account for changes since the time the budget was adopted. A public hearing is required by
State law in order to proceed with the final amendment to the FY 2025/26 City budget.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve
Alternative No. 1, as described above.

SUBJECT:FY 2026/27 AIRPORT ENTRYWAY IMPROVEMENT (SOUTH PARKING LOT
EXPANSION)
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) includes the FY 2026/27 Airport Entryway
Improvements program, which provides for expansion of paved parking areas and related
access improvements at the James Herman Banning Ames Municipal Airport. This phase
focuses on development of the southern portion of the planned parking expansion to address
existing parking demand. This is the first phase of a multi-phase parking expansion program.
Future phases will expand the northern portion of the parking area as shown on the attached
Project Overview Map.
Due to current uncertainties at the federal level, including past federal government
shutdowns, the pending expiration of Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)
funding authorizations, and the high volume of projects being administered by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Central Region, this project has been placed on
an accelerated schedule to meet federal funding deadlines. To maintain eligibility for
federal funding, Bolton & Menk proceeded with preparation of plans and specifications
at its own risk prior to formal approval of Task Order #8.
The engineering services performed to date have been completed in accordance with FAA
standards and City of Ames requirements, consistent with all federally funded airport projects.
Staff received authorization to bid on May 1, which represents the FAA’s concurrence
that the design meets all applicable requirements. The bid timeframe is very short in
order to meet federal funding deadlines for eligibility for reporting and grant
reimbursement opportunities thru the FAA.
The Engineer ’s Opinion of Probable Cost (OPC) for construction is approximately $549,000.
The project will be bid with a base bid and may include alternate bid items to provide flexibility
depending on bid results and maximize the use of available grant funding.
The FY 2026/27 CIP anticipates $560,000 in federal grant participation for this phase of the
project. Based on current FAA grant programming, the City now anticipates receiving
$584,000 in federal funding, which exceeds the amount identified in the CIP. This
additional federal participation will reduce reliance on local funding for this phase of
the project.
122
The table below summarizes the revenues and expenses for this phase of the project:
Revenues Expenses
General Obligation Bonds $140,000 Administration and Independent Fee
Evaluation $4,750
Federal Aviation
Administration Grant (AIG)$584,000 Design and Construction
Administration/Inspection Services $144,800
Construction (Estimated) (This
Council Action)$549,000
Total Revenues $724,000 Total Expenses $698,550
The difference between total revenues and expenses provides a contingency to address
potential bid variability and construction-related adjustments.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the plans and specifications for the FY 2026/27 Airport Entryway Improvement
(South Parking Lot Expansion) project and establish the May 28, 2026 as the bid due
date and June 9, 2026 as the public hearing for report of bids.
2. Direct staff to make changes to the project.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The Airport Parking Lot Improvements project will enhance safety, reduce foreign
object debris risks, and improve the overall functionality and appearance of the airport
by reducing the use of granular and turf areas for parking. This project represents an
important phase of the City’s long-term airport development strategy. Therefore, it is the
recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as noted
above.

ITEM #:29
DATE:05-12-26
DEPT:PW
SUBJECT:2023/24 MULTI-MODAL ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS (SOMERSET
IMPROVEMENTS - STANGE ROAD)
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
At its September 23, 2025 meeting, the City Council approved a Professional Services
Agreement with Shive-Hattery, Inc., of West Des Moines, Iowa, for the 2023/24 Multi-Modal
Roadway Improvements (Somerset Improvements – Stange Road). As part of its proposal,
Shive-Hattery included a design alternative that differed from the conceptual layout included in
the Request for Proposal (RFP). These alternatives are included as attachments to this
Council Action Form, with the Shive-Hattery proposal identified as Design Alternative A and
the conceptual layout from the RFP identified as Design Alternative B.
Both alternatives reduce Stange Road to one lane in each direction between Northridge
Parkway and Aspen Road, implement all-way stop control at both intersections, provide
a dedicated bicycle facility to better separate bicyclists from pedestrians, and increase
on-street parking where feasible.
At the February 10, 2026 meeting, City Council reviewed initial feedback gathered
through coordination with the Somerset Property Owners Association and directed
staff to conduct additional outreach to properties within 400 feet of the proposed
project limits to ensure broader awareness and input, as there were questions
regarding whether prior notifications reached all stakeholders.
Staff did follow up with the Somerset Property Owners Association following the
February 10, 2026 meeting to ensure that the meeting information was included in the
email that was sent out to all dues-paying members in the association. The association
contact confirmed that the information was provided; however, it may have been
overlooked because it came from the association and not the City directly.
ADDITIONAL PUBLIC OUTREACH:
Following Council direction, staff conducted additional targeted outreach to properties
within approximately 400 feet of the project corridor. This outreach included direct mailing
notification and distribution of an online feedback form, plus additional electronic mail to the
property owner associations on both the east and west side of Stange Road.
The direct mailing represented 98 unique properties that received this additional notification.
Staff received ten (10) feedback comments that represented eight (8) unique
addresses. Feedback from both the initial and expanded outreach efforts is attached. While
the additional input reflects a wider range of perspectives, the results continue to
demonstrate support for Design Alternative A, particularly in addressing the project’s
155
primary goals of improving safety and accessibility.
Across both outreach efforts, several consistent safety-related concerns were identified:
Limited visibility at the intersections of Northridge Parkway and Aspen Road
Excessive vehicle speeds through the corridor
Difficulty and safety concerns for pedestrians crossing Stange Road
Conflicts between vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians
Design Alternative A most directly addresses these concerns by reducing vehicle
speeds, improving intersection control and visibility, and providing separated facilities
for pedestrians and bicyclists.
The additional feedback did raise concerns regarding traffic flow, lane configurations,
congestion, and access. However, these concerns are generally related to route preference
and system efficiency, rather than the underlying safety issues the project is intended to
address. The project is designed and budgeted to fit within the existing pavement geometry to
address safety issues along a pedestrian heavy segment of the Stange Road corridor. Future
planning and engineering efforts could look at the Stange Road corridor in its entirety when it
is in need of full reconstruction.
Overall, the expanded outreach reaffirmed that Design Alternative A best aligns with
the community’s safety priorities and the project’s intended outcomes.
TRAFFIC IMPACTS ALONG G.W. CARVER:
As discussed at the September 23, 2025 City Council meeting, forecasted 2050 traffic volumes
do not support the need for four lanes along this segment of Stange Road. Staff anticipates
that a portion of through traffic will shift west to G.W. Carver Avenue between Bloomington
Road and 24th Street. While some increase in traffic on G.W. Carver Avenue is likely to occur,
any resulting operational issues can be more effectively managed and mitigated on that
corridor. This allows Stange Road to transition to a safer, more accessible, and context-
appropriate facility that prioritizes local access, pedestrian activity, and multimodal use.
G.W. Carver Avenue is better suited to serve as the primary through route in this area
due to its corridor characteristics, including fewer side street connections and limited
direct driveway access. These features make it more conducive to efficiently
accommodating higher traffic volumes and implementing future traffic control
measures if warranted.
In contrast, Stange Road functions as a mixed-use corridor with direct access to
adjacent businesses and residences, frequent turning movements, and higher
pedestrian and bicycle activity. As a result, traffic-related issues such as congestion,
access conflicts, and safety concerns are more difficult to address along Stange Road
without compromising the corridor’s function and safety.
CONTRACT AMENDMENT:
Based on the preference for Design Alternative A, staff worked with Shive-Hattery to prepare a
contract amendment revising the project scope to include design services for that alternative.
The original Professional Services Agreement approved by City Council was in the amount of
156
$55,000. Additional services included in the amendment involve the design of a dedicated
shared-use path along the east side of the crescent green space, added pavement design for
new driveway connections serving the west-side parking area, and storm sewer modifications
to address flooding concerns identified during the public engagement process. The proposed
amendment totals $27,000.
Preliminary cost estimates for both design alternatives are included in the attachments.
Design Alternative A has an estimated cost of $546,745, compared to $388,889 for
Design Alternative B. The higher cost for Alternative A reflects the same additional elements
that drive the increased design scope as described above.
The project is programmed with $450,000 of Road Use Tax funding in the 2023/24 Multi-Modal
Roadway Improvements Program. Project savings from previous fiscal year projects in this
program have resulted in an available balance of $225,828 to fund the proposed contract
amendment and the higher construction cost associated with Design Alternative A. The table
below shows the anticipated revenues and expenses for the project.

Providing direction regarding the design alternative and approving the contract
amendment will allow staff to proceed with further refinement of project design with the
goal of returning to City Council at a future date for approval of plans and
specifications for 2027 construction of the project.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. a. Direct staff to proceed with Design Alternative A for the 2023/24 Multi-Modal Roadway
Improvements (Somerset Improvements - Stange Road).
b. Approve Amendment No. 1 to the design contract with Shive-Hattery, Inc. of West Des
Moines, IA, in the amount of $27,000.
2. Direct staff to proceed with Design Alternative B for the 2023/24 Multi-Modal Roadway
Improvements (Somerset Improvements - Stange Road).
157
3. Direct staff to consider different design alternatives for the 2023/24 Multi-Modal Roadway
Improvements (Somerset Improvements - Stange Road).
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Based on staff evaluation and public feedback received, Design Alternative A is best
suited to address the project's goals of improving the safety of all transportation modes
through this area, and increasing the prioritization of bicycles and pedestrians traveling
to and through the area. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the
City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above.

Justin Dodge
Neither - we need to keep 4 lanes through
Somerset. With more Northern growth, we
need to be able to move traffic through this
area Yes, I believe it constrains the traffic flow too much I can't think of any
I am most concerned about the
lack of sight towards oncoming
traffic - making a turn onto Stange
is very dangerous.
Let's take out the crescent to
help straighten the road, add
parking and add stop signs.
Bill Woodward
Alternative A, B does not solve the visibility
issue in trying to turn left from the east side of
Stange off of Northridge Parkway and it could
potentially make it much worse with all of the
additional parking that will double of up on
southbound traffic. See above.
Mark Doyle
Alternative A. I feel that the businesses on the
West side of the street have a greater need for
parking and making the west side primarily a
parking lot is a safer alternative. The back in
parking with Alternative B could present safety
issues with the angled back in parking. There
is a lot of traffic heading north at different
times of the day and if people are stopping
then trying to back in, cars will get backed up
and may even collide with those stopping to
park. Outlined above Holloween Trick or Treat night
My partners and I own 2701
Stange Rd and we have had
multiple incidents over the years
with storm water filling up the
intersection and water coming
into our building. Nope. Thanks for considering.
Kevin Rettig A
I like the proposed in alternative A, back-in diagonal parking in B does not seem to be
efficient, nor safe?
Halloween Trick or Treat near
end of October
During severe thunderstorms
water backs up over the
sidewalks and almost reaches the
building for GICU.
Please install 4-way stop signs
where proposed now rather than
waiting till the project is
completed. As you know, it's
dangerous.
Clayton Nevins
Highly prefer Alternative A. There is already
plenty of parking on each side of Stange
because of the parking lots behind the
buildings. We do not need street parking on
both sides of Stange. New paved path for
bikes and pedestrians will be great.
My concern is that there will be the same amount of cars and traffic that drive
through Somerset on Stange, but now there will be congestion. Is there any way to
encourage traffic to take Washington Carver? I am concerned that the congestion
itself won't be enough to encourage this.
There are no parking issues in
Somerset. The parking lots
behind the businesses on Stange
are always available. We need
more foot traffic and businesses
in our business district, and I
believe Alternative A will help
this the most out of the two
options.

A. I think that the back in parking in alternative
b will back up traffic as people pull into the
parking. I also think you will see even more u-
turns at Aspen as people look to park facing
southbound. This is already an issue at this
intersection and now it will occur at a 4 way
stop, increasing frustration when it happens.
Yes. I don't believe people will go around on GW Carver as anticipated without
significant changes to the current intersections at Stange and 24th Street and at GW
Carver and Bloomington. The turn lane heading west at 24th street when headed
northbound on Stange is short and has a short turn light. The queue will back up and
people will just use Stange. Also, getting stuck at a stop sign at Bloomington with no
signal will be annoying at best. As someone that uses the walking paths along GW
Carver multiple times per day, if traffic is expected to increase, I would like to see
additional street lights in that area for pedestrian safety.
I am also concerned with the volume of traffic increasing on Aspen due to the 4 way
stop. We purchased on Aspen as it was a low traffic side street. Backing out in
some areas can be difficult due to low visibility caused by trees and parked cars.
Increased traffic will make this more difficult and potentially impact housing value.
Especially when traffic on this road can and does travel significantly above the
posted speed limit.
Based on what we saw this past summer with the Stange reconstruction, I think this
will likely just cause traffic to back up on Stange. I honestly don't believe people will
use other routes and decrease traffic on Stange. It is one of the few direct routes to
the north that don't require wandering through residential neighborhoods or going
significantly out of your way. People headed to Fareway, Caseys or using Hyde to
head to/from Gilbert will continue to use Stange. No
Snow removal on Aspen on the
west side of Stange make that
Aspen a one lane road at Stange
after any snow event. I expect
there will be increased traffic on
Aspen with this switch so after
snow event traffic could back up
more than anticipated.
As a resident on Aspen, I love the
idea of a 4 way stop at our
intersection. The electric box on
the northwest corner causes a
blind intersection. The proposed
4 way stop fixes this issue.
Thank you for that.

Alternate A because I believe the angled
parking would allow for easier access to the
parking spaces and a better flow of traffic
through that area. No No
The east side of Stange where it
intersects with Aspen is difficult
to see cars coming from the
south. Hopefully placing the stop
sign there will reduce the danger. No

A-trees are preserved. New pedestrian routes
is the essence of Somerset
My concern is if there is going to be modifications to GWC, like a stop sign on
Bloomington, to encourage traffic to take that route? If traffic cant easily turn left at
GWC and Bloomington, they aren't going that way.

Northridge Parkway. Experience
Speeding and noise from cars,
motorcycles day and night.
A--maintains a more continuous
straight forward throughway of traffic,
maintains majority of trees (less cost
of landscaping change, more
aesthetically pleasing,) adds more
parking for businesses.
if the goal is to slow down speeding traffic and
increase safety, I would ADD some mechanism
to start tapering traffic from 2 lane into 1 lane
at Bristol and Clayton. Expecting traffic to
suddenly transition from 2 lanes into 1 lane all
of a sudden at Northridge and Aspen seems
abrupt and risks accidents.
HOW do you plan to TAPER from two lanes of traffic into one lane of traffic in the 1-2 blocks prior to this tiny segment of
Northridge/Aspen?--during heavier traffic, ppl will be speeding ahead of cars to transition from 2 lanes into 1 lane of traffic
to accommodate this 1 block of change, and then coming out of 1 lane will just speed out once 2 lanes are available.
During low traffic, will it stop the speeding? I am skeptical of benefit when only 1 small block is changed. Thank you for
sending letters to community, as initially, extremely low numbers of people were notified or knew about the project.
I would make it a general mode of communication to send letters
to all residents in the area affected, i.e. property and business
owners, so that community people affected are informed and
allowed input prior to city council and planning meetings. I
thank you for the letter sent out asking for input.
Nick Schieffer 2810 Aspen Rd
Alternative A is superior. I can tell you
as a police officer in Ames who now
does back in parking on 6th St that
people pull up on you way too fast and
close, and that's when I'm in a marked
squad right in front of the PD.
Make sure that the road is wide enough in A
that if there is a collision or broken down
vehicle that we can still get north and south
bound traffic through. Also, put in bicycle
parking in the crescent.
Just that you should not be overly concerned about street parking spots. Most of the spots on the back side of the business
to both the east and west don't get used.
I think there is a trick or treat
even each year.
Speed in general, driver's not
yielding to pedestrian in the
crosswalk and northbound
traffic making unsafe u-turns
at Stange Rd & Aspen Rd.
I love the two 4-way stop signs. People are going to complain but
they just need to go to GWC. Somerset is supposed to be a
walkable neighborhood. The people passing through don't seem
to get it.

A. It appears to flow better and saves
more trees.
I have requested before to just add crosswalk
signs that flash yellow when a pedestrian
pushes a button like the ones on Bloomington
west of Fareway on Aspen and Northridge

We are actually satisfied with the current road layout. And prefer

Julie Remsburg 2602 Clayton Dr B
Do not allow steet parking in areas where there
is potential for hard to see around car spots.
That curve going towards Clayton Dr is unsafe
when turning any direction as cars can hude in
that curve when moving. Often cars parkee
closer to Clayton vause big issues. Ive
complained before. Even turning right out of
Clayton it is hard at times. Get rid of that curve.
I know it is an issue a block before as well. Cant
see ariund corner.
MAKE SURE CY RIDE IS STILL GOING ON BOTH DIRECTIONS AT VARIED SPOTS ON STANGE. MY FAMILY USES IT DURING
SCHOOL YEAR FOR ISU AND MANY OTHERS DO. ITS A BIG DEAL FOR APARTMENT RESIDENTS/STUDENTS AND A DEAL
BREAKER TO BUY OR RENT THERE.
CYRIDE NEEDS TO GO ON
STANGE OR JUMP OVER TO A
STREET OVER THATS NEARBY
DURING ROAD WORK AND
ESPECIALLY AREA BY EL EZTECA
OR SO. THAT IS A VERY
POPULAR STOP!!! LESS USE IN
SUMMER, BUT STILL NEEDS TO
RUN BY IT.
Stated earlier, when making
parking spots think of hard to
see around spots from steet
corners and dont allow
parking there. We have
learned that curves are not
cool, as they hide cars.
Those stop signs for pedestrians at only certain spots are a joke.
80% of drivers go through them. I know because I walk it
regularly. Either have them lit up and more obvious or don't have
them. Also, the city is dumb if they think most of Ames should
drive over near NR on GWParkway to go north and not go on
Stange. Thats out of the way and not going to happen. Having
cyride go there and not on stange as an idea would be cruel and
not ok. Wake up, people are going to continue to go on Stange to
go to isu and fareway and the mall. So make it manageable and
allow cyride. I've lived here 20 years now and the biggest issue is
some parking in the front of apartments. Also you failed to say
when this project will likely start.

about 120 units total neither
Take out the median, can't have 2 stop signs in
one block on that busy of a road
Our tenants do not want a stop sigh 20 ft from their window,
these cars will be impatient and be speeding up Stange after the
north stop sign, this will also cause Kent Av. to be a shortcut and
cause speeding up Kent to get around the stop signs. I also think
taking out median will open up and give the restaurant's room to
have a bigger patio and better parking options. Maybe not even
have parking on the west side of the road, plenty of parking in
back. I think the restaurants will be affected as well, people will
be avoiding this area any way they can.

Kevin Bourke 2730 Stange and 2511 Aspen Neither.
Eliminate the median. Redirect Stange through
the current median. Add speed humps
between Northridge Pkwy and Aspen. Add push
button cross walk signs with flashing lights
(like the cross walks on Duff by MGMC and the
corner of Hyland and Sheldon) to the corners of
Aspen and NR Pkwy.
Yes. I can't believe the study of traffic patterns through 2050 don't forecast the need for 4 lanes. A lot of the current traffic
is heading to Gilbert via Hyde. As Gilbert grows as well and north Ames, and Stange Rd continues to expand north, I have
to believe traffic will increase. With the proposed options, traffic will get severely backed up at the 4way stops. Also there
will be an increase of noise from the stop/start of vehicles (particularly CyRide busses).
By redirecting Stange through the median, this will create more
opportunities for parking, outdoor cafe space, and create space
that Ames residents will utilize. This would also allow for a
designated bike path. The current median is a total waste of
space.
Many. First, despite what was said at the town hall meeting (which we were unaware of until after it happened) there is a
heavy amount of traffic going down Stange. At going to and from work times both lanes are completely full, which is why it
is impossible to cross the street as a pedestrian without a street light. Then after Iowa State games traffic is packed as
everyone heading north goes up Stange. Hoping the traffic will reroute to George Washington Carver is a big hope because
many people coming this way live in Somerset or northeast of Bloomington and Stange and rerouting to GWC would be
much further out of their way. Increasing traffic on GWC would also create issues for people turning on or off of GWC,
especially at Northridge where it's already difficult to see around the curve. GWC is also two lane and increasing it to 4
lane and adding a stop light at Bloomington for it just moves the problem from Stange to GWC. Going down to two lanes
on Stange would slow traffic, but unless the two lanes extend from 24th St. to Bloomington, you'll have people racing to
cut in before the 4-way stops. Even when traffic is going the correct speed, there are constantly people weaving in and out
trying to get ahead as they go through the curve. If you really want to deter people from going through Somerset, you need
to slow down to two lanes for the entire length of Somerset. The remaining lanes could easily be converted to bus lanes to
prevent back ups from the busses stopping, and avoid moving the bus stops from their central location. Which, moving the
bus stops out of the central block would put them in front of people's residences, and no one should have to listen to the
constant loud beeping and hydraulics of the buses stopping.
One thing the city planners have not considered is who is speeding and making the area dangerous. I'm near the corner of
Stange and Northridge and frequently use the The Corner Lawn park, and some of the biggest and consistent offenders are
people who live in Somerset and come in and out on Northridge. At this point I actually know the individual cars and
motorcycles that are the consistent offenders, and there are many. People consistently pull out onto Stange from
Northridge without stopping at the stop sign and gun it as fast as they can in either direction. Most of the accidents or near-
accidents there with either cars or pedestrians are from people pulling in and out onto Stange, not the cars going through.
Adding a 4-way stop won't deter them, and if anything make them more dangerous because they know the cross-traffic
will stop or if there's less traffic on Stange to slow them down. I'm not a fan of speed bumps or rumble strips, but I think
adding them on Northridge and Aspen before you get to the intersection, as well as on Stange between the cross streets
may be the only way to really slow people down, especially the motorcycles that live down the east side of Northridge and
regularly loop around to do 50-80 mph through the curve.
A major issue with Somerset is not that Stange shouldn't be too big, but that it's trying to focus on the Stange-facing side of
the businesses. Most residents would tell you there's no reason to make the front of businesses walkable because there's
ample parking behind the buildings that never fills up. The street parking along Stange is mostly empty except in front of
the apartments near Bristol and in front of the west side businesses, but the west side businesses consistently have the
same cars in front for employees that work there, and even a truck that's been parked for sale there for over 9 months.
Having parking on Stange just increases the risk for accidents with cars trying to whip in and out of parking, or pedestrians
and bikers in the proposed option. Even if the traffic is slowed, it would be much safer to focus parking in the lots on the
back of the buildings, and keep the front focused on the multi-use paths so people parking aren't constantly driving or
walking across the path. While option A is safer for slowing down traffic, it creates a nuisance for bikers and pedestrians
that have to stop 4 times just to get through the area. Instead of parking, the businesses could use the space for outdoor
seating and neighborhood events that would attract more people to the area. Also, if emphasizing pedestrian and bike
usage, the path needs improvement beyond the business area. In front of my house on Stange, just south of Northridge,
the sidewalk is barely 6 feet wide, not 8 feet as the city planner said in the meeting. This is just wide enough for one bike to
safely pass one person walking in the opposite direction. There are a lot of both people and bikers that use that path and
likely many more bikers would use it if it were wider and divided between bikers and walkers. A great option would be to
make Stange two lanes from 24th Street to Bloomington as I've suggested, and make the existing sidewalk a walking path,
and make part of the second lane of the road or the parking lane a bidirectional bike path.
not that I know of - I don't think
Somerset has any events other
than trick-or-treating with the
businesses at Halloween
There's a big accessibility
issue with the buses.
Because you have to go
through the parked cars to
get to the buses, people with
wheelchairs or movement
difficulties can't get to the
bus without going down the
block and into traffic to get
down the curb. Again, getting
rid of the parking would solve
this so the bus can put its
ramp straight out to the
sidewalk.
I will also emphasize again
that there is an absolute lack
of a parking issue. The
businesses want parking on
Stange out front to draw
people in, but there is always
plenty of empty parking
behind the businesses that is
easy to get to.
One thing the city hasn't seemed to consider is the lack of police
presence. I rarely see a police car go through Somerset, and I
understand Ames may not have the resources, but having a
police car or two parked to ticket speeders during rush hour every
day for a week may make a temporary impact until construction
can start. It would also be easy income for the city through a lot
of speeding tickets, especially the high fines for the high
speeders on Friday and Saturday nights.
I will add that the residents were not notified the first time the city
planner attempted to collect feedback. The HOA does not have a
way of communicating with residents other than by mail , and the
meeting agendas are not shared before the meeting to know you
need to attend. It's clear by the options that the only feedback
given was from the businesses who want to prioritize getting
customers in the front door and parking out front, which
contributes to the problem of congestion on Stange. They have
plenty of parking on back, so Stange should prioritize the safety
of their residents and pedestrians and bikers in the area. It's also
the residents that have to live with the safety issue 24/7, so our
needs should be prioritized.
I also just want to say that the city needs to prioritize an option
that is safest, not just a quick or cheap fix that doesn't solve the
safety issue. If budget is an issue, it would be safer to close that
block of Stange to through traffic than to create a confusing
traffic pattern or give reckless drivers more free reign with less
traffic.

Alternative A would be the better of the
two options but would still create a lot
of issues. Of the two, A would help
slow traffic the most and would bring
the cars at the 4-way stops closer
together so they could see other cars.
Currently the stop signs at Northridge
and Aspen are so far back that cars
and people crossing can't see other
cars coming on Stange, and cars on
Stange can't see them until it's too
late. Option A would also create more
of a slow down because you aren't just
stopping at the 4-way stops, but also
when cars are pulling in and out of the
parking lot, northbound spaces, and
when pedestrians are crossing the
street. Option A also makes the
intersections more clear to drivers that
it is a 4-way stop and makes it easy to
see where traffic is going and where
you would be able to pull out.
Both of the proposed alternatives still have four
lane traffic north of Aspen and south of
Northridge, which given the current style of
driving in the area, would encourage people to
race to get around each other and cut in before
the 4-way stops. To make these options
successful, Stange should be reduced to two
lanes from 24th Street to Bloomington, and the
extra lanes could be used as turn lanes or bus
lanes. Another alternative would be to put in
stop lights at both intersections that are offset
in their timing so it's never a straight green light
going through. This would remove the need for
construction of the road and still allow the
heavy traffic to go through.

Staff Report
TREE REMOVAL AT 624 DUFF AVENUE
BACKGROUND:
At its meeting on March 10, 2026, the City Council directed that a matter related to a tree
removal at 624 Duff Avenue be placed on a future agenda for discussion.
On November 18, 2025, the City Forester received an email from an Iowa State Professor
regarding a dead tree at 624 Duff Avenue questioning who the responsible party would be if
the tree failed and fell into Duff Avenue. The Forester viewed the tree and found it to be an
imminent danger due to there being a hole through the center of the tree. As a result, the
Forester asked Inspections to open a code case for the tree.
Inspections staff contacted the City’s Legal Department to confirm there was support to move
forward with abatement of the tree under emergency abatement procedures. Legal staff
responded that they were supportive if the Forester was willing to testify to the imminent
status. The Forester agreed to testify to the imminent status and to draft an official
assessment for the record.
The Community Codes Liaison opened a case on November 18, 2025. As with any imminent
case, staff attempted to make contact with the owner through all available resources. Staff
were unable to make contact via phone calls and text messages. A voice message left with
the property owner explained the tree had been declared an imminent danger, the City would
be removing the tree immediately, and that all charges associated with removal would be
assessed to the property.
Weiss Tree Service was contacted for tree removal. Weiss agreed the tree was a danger and
understood the expedited timeline for removal. They agreed to remove the tree the next day
and coordinated traffic control to shut down the eastern lane of Duff Avenue and with the
Electric Department to protect adjacent power lines.
On November 19, 2025, Inspections staff had not yet made contact with the property owner so
they attempted an on-site visit prior to the scheduled tree removal. The owner was not home
at the time so staff remained on-site through the removal process. The Forester was on-site
conducting the damage assessment and commented that the property owner had reached out
in September asking if there were any cost-share programs for tree removal.
The owner called staff on November 20, 2025 and was happy to have the tree removed, but
uncertain about her ability to pay. The Community Codes Liaison sent the property owner a
copy of the invoice for $8,025 on November 22, 2025 and directed them to the Finance
172
Department to discuss the possibility of a payment plan."
Subsequent to the removal of the tree, the City Manager received a call from Mrs. Robinson,
who identified herself as the owner of the property from which the tree was removed. She was
concerned by the amount of the bill, $8,000, and the fact she was not given enough advance
warning for her to solicit bids from other contractors that, she believed, could have been less
than the amount she is being billed.
Staff is sympathetic to her concerns. The significant cost apparently was due to the fact it was
a large tree complicated by the requirement that Duff Avenue had to be closed down during
the removal process. In this instance, there was not sufficient time for alternate bids to be
solicited by the property owner. Unfortunately, there is no way to determine how much less, if
any, the bids would have been if Mrs. Robinson had been able to seek alternate bids.
OPTIONS:
Staff believes it is appropriate for the City Council to provide direction regarding how
much to charge the property owner in this unusual case. The following options (and
others) could be considered by the Council:
Amount $8,000 $6,000 $4,000
Current Billed Amount 25% Reduction 50% Reduction
Term 5 years 5 years 5 years
Interest Rate 3.53%3.53%3.53%
Annual Payment $1,774 $1,330 $887
Term 10 years 10 years 10 years
Interest Rate 4.09%4.09%4.09%
Annual Payment $991 $743 $495
STAFF COMMENTS:
This is an unusual tree removal situation. This large tree was found by the City Forester to be
an imminent danger, and therefore removal was warranted. The tree removal required the
closure of traffic lanes to safely proceed, which increased the cost associated with the
removal. Despite attempts to make contact with the resident, staff was unable to make contact
between the time the tree was identified as a hazard and when it was taken down.
The resident believes that had she been provided an opportunity to do so, she would have
been able to obtain competitive quotes for the removal of the tree. Unfortunately, it is not
possible to determine after-the-fact whether this would have been the case. The City Council
may believe in this instance that a reduction in the amount owed for the tree removal is
warranted.
This topic was initially on the March 24, 2026 Council agenda. At the time, the homeowner
was unable to attend, and Council requested to defer this to a future meeting. At the same
meeting, there was a motion passed by Council for the Legal Department to review the options
173
for securing the financial obligation should an agreement be reached. Attached is the follow-up
memo from the City Attorney.

Subject:
Motion: Moved by Gartin, seconded by Beatty-Hansen, to request the Legal
Department review the options for securing the financial obligation should an
agreement be reached. Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried
unanimously.
The Iowa Code provides a process for the City to collect its costs for a nuisance
abatement. The Council certifies a special assessment, which is levied against
the property and collected for the City by the County Treasurer in the manner of
property taxes. Typically, payments for special assessments are due annually in
the month of September.
Of course, the property owner, if able, can always pay the entire costs upfront
and avoid the collection efforts.
Cities are allowed to require the abatement of diseased or dead trees and can
do so itself if the property owner doesn’t or if it’s an emergency. (Iowa Code
§364.12(3)(b)). The Iowa Code then provides a method for collecting the costs
of abatement by assessing the costs to the property (§364.12(3)(h)). If the
costs of abatement exceed $500, a city may permit the assessment payments
to be spread out up to 10 years (§364.13). Special assessments are a lien
against the property until the assessment is paid in full. Special assessments
have equal precedence with ordinary taxes and are not divested by judicial sale.
(§364.13A)
175
The discussion regarding the motion made at a recent Council meeting was for
the City Attorney to investigate whether obtaining a mortgage could be used in
lieu of the assessment of the costs of the nuisance abatement.
Theoretically, a mortgage could be used, but there are potential issues
with doing so.
First, a mortgage would be voluntary, which means that the property owner
would have to agree to it. There would be a need to be a negotiated promissory
note, and decisions would need to be made regarding a payment schedule,
interest rate and other customary terms. The assessment process is not
voluntary, the City simply has the right to assess the costs to the property.
Next, in the case of a judicial sale (for example, a foreclosure), the special
assessment would have equal precedence to property taxes owed, and a
mortgage would not have that assurance.
In taking a mortgage on the property, additional consideration should be given
to the available equity in the property, including a review of existing liens upon
the property. Like any other mortgage lender, it may also be appropriate to
conduct and pay for an appraisal on the property to determine value. A
thorough review would likely require the expenditure of additional sums
associated with recording mortgage documents and conducting a title search to
evaluate the borrower’s available equity in the property. A proposed borrower
would certainly have a right to have their own legal counsel review any
mortgage documents, at the borrower’s additional expense.
The advantage to the property owner is that with a mortgage, payments could
be spread out over a longer term than the ten years allowed in a special
assessment. But that also means it would take longer for the City to get repaid.
There is additional risk if the owner stops paying the mortgage with the City.
Would the City be willing to foreclose on the property?
176
I checked with the other large-city city attorneys, and about half of them
responded and none of those had ever used a mortgage to secure payment of
abatement costs. So, there really is no precedent of cities doing this.
So, using a mortgage as a method for an Ames property owner to pay back
the City for the costs of a tree removal or other nuisance abatement is
theoretically possible, but it comes with costs, both financial and staff time,
and risks that aren’t present with collecting the debt by special
assessments. Add to that the fact that no other large city in Iowa seems to have
used a mortgage in lieu of a special assessment. A special assessment is
the method prescribed by the Iowa Code, and it seems to be less work, less
cost, and less risky for the City than using a mortgage for that purpose.

Staff Report
REQUEST TO AMEND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO CHANGE PAVING OF CEDAR
LANE TO AURORA AVENUE
BACKGROUND:
City Council received the attached letter from the Burgasons, developers of the Ansley
development located on Cedar Lane, requesting Council amend their previous funding request
related to the paving of Cedar Lane. The Cedar Lane agreement calls for the City to be
responsible for the future paving of approximately 700 feet of Cedar Lane as an off-site
improvement. Note that the Cedar Lane paving is only 50% City-responsibility, with the
remaining 50% an ISU obligation per a prior development agreement for the Ringgenberg
Subdivision west of Cedar Lane.
Staff anticipated in December when the agreement was approved that the City's
estimated financial obligation for Cedar Lane paving would not be needed for at least
three years based upon the timing and phasing of the development, but ultimately the
timing of its construction is at the discretion of the City Council.
The developer now is requesting that the Cedar Lane agreement be cancelled and
replaced with an agreement that the City would pave approximately 650 feet of Aurora
Avenue located at the northeast corner of the site and extending into the site (See map
in letter). The developer has indicated that this street project would facilitate near term
development in FY 2027/28 with townhomes and detached housing lots within the project. If
the new request is approved, the developer would commit to extending two other street
segments in conjunction with the City extension of Aurora to plat additional lots for
dev e lo p m e n t . The Aurora paving would be contingent on the developer platting these
additional areas for development.
The developer believes this request for supporting near term development is in line with other
development incentive requests reviewed by City Council in December 2025.
Staff agrees that the paving of Aurora is more beneficial for near-term development
benefits, but there are new financial aspects that must be considered. The Public Works
Department estimates that 650 feet of Aurora paving, sidewalks, and storm sewer would
be approximately $371,000 of cost to the City compared to approximately $250,000 for
the current Cedar Lane obligation. Since the original proposal by the developer, staff
discussed the practicality of the extension with their planned improvements and has
concluded that the extension by the City might be marginally less when accounting for
the developer's street improvement obligation.
178
Secondly, the developer requests a commitment that the improvements occur in FY
2027/28 rather than defer to a later undefined date, as is the case with Cedar Lane.
Because of the deferred and contingent timing of the Cedar Lane extension, there is no
paving project in the 5-year CIP for it. Adding a project in FY 2027/28 could displace
another project in order to prioritize the paving or increase the total financial commitments for
CIP paving projects. Staff believes this request would have to be paid with G.O. Bond
revenues.
An alternative to City financing of a paving project is possible: the use of a Residential TIF
rebate for the developer to be reimbursed for this cost. The developer would be rebated future
tax increment as development occurs. Because of the city budget legislation recently
approved by the Iowa Legislature, staff does not know the full ramifications of the new
law and cannot yet make a recommendation about whether to utilize this mechanism
for this project. The Developer has indicated to staff they do not desire to rely on TIF
rebates for the work.
OPTIONS:
Option 1: Direct Staff to Prepare an Agreement for Paving Approximately 650 Feet
Ansley Lane in Lieu of Cedar Lane
This option matches the developer's request and would have an estimated cost to the City of
approximately $350,000 to $370,000, after accounting for the developer's street extension
work. The City paving would be contingent upon the developer completing platting and other
street extension work first. The City work would be projected to occur after July 1, 2027 as
part of Fiscal Year 2027/28. City Council would add the project to the CIP as part of the FY
2027/28 budget process.
Option 2: Direct Staff to Prepare an Agreement for Paving Ansley Lane in Lieu of Cedar
Lane at an Estimated Cost to the City Equal to the Current Cedar Lane Agreement
This option would allow for a swap of obligations of an estimated equal dollar amount and be
planned for FY 2027/28 the same as Option 1. Based upon the estimated cost above, this
would equate to approximately 440 linear feet for $250,000.
Option 3: Direct Staff to Prepare an Agreement for Paving Approximately 650 feet
Ansley Lane in Lieu of Cedar Lane Utilizing Residential TIF Rebate
The Residential TIF allows for the developer to complete the project on their timing with no
City involvement or changes to the CIP. However, the new budget legislation changes how
property tax base is accounted for and staff is not prepared at this point to make a
recommendation on use of TIF for any project. If this is the preferred funding option for the
request, staff recommends tabling the request until June for staff to gain a more
comprehensive understanding of TIF under the new city financial legislation adopted by
the state.
Option 4: Take No Action
If City Council does not want to modify the planned CIP timing of projects or costs, the Council
179
would take no action on this request and maintain the current agreement.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The Developer initially requested the Cedar Lane paving incentive as a consideration of
reducing the development's financial burden in relation to an off-site cost of paving an existing
segment of Cedar Lane as development progressed south. Paving Cedar Lane did not
directly facilitate development. The proposed change by the Developer is intended to create
new term development opportunities similar to other incentives granted to other projects in
December 2025.
As an internal street to a development, the request is most similar to Hayden Preserve or
Auburn Trail that sought general development support. Incentives for these two projects were
a combination of waived connections fees, residential TIF, and use of ARPA funds for
oversizing and pioneer infrastructure. In this case these funding options are not available,
with the exception of the residential TIF. However, staff needs more time to understand
the ramifications of the new law regarding TIF if that is a preferred option.
If Council proceeds with the request, it will likely require use of G.O. Bonds to fund the project.
GO Bonds were used in limited amounts for other projects over the next three years, such as
Cottonwood extension and cost sharing for a Stange Extension, totaling an estimated
$641,000 for the CIP in FY 2027/28.
If Council chooses to move ahead with the Developer's request, a formal development
agreement amendment will be required to be prepared and returned for City Council approval.

Cedar Lane - Aurora Avenue Revision Request.pdf
180
To: Ames City Council
From: Steve and Anne Burgason
Date: March 2, 2026
RE: RequesCng Revision to the Cedar Lane Agreement
We would like to request a revision to the Ansley/Cedar Lane Agreement that the Ames City
Council agreed to on December 5, 2025 at the Ames City Council MeeCng. Our revised request
would be to nullify the Cedar Lane Agreement in exchange for the City of Ames agreeing to pave
a secCon of Aurora Avenue of approximately 650 feet (starCng at the Aurora Ave. current end
point). Ansley would remain responsible for the related improvements and extension of
uCliCes. Ansley Land LLC would also complete the remaining approximately 600 feet secCon of
Aurora Avenue and 200 feet Ansley Avenue to the current Ansley current end point and the 300
feet length of Swan Lane with roundabout. This would allow a complete connecCon from
University Boulevard to Cedar Lane. Also, in accordance with the goals of the “Developer
IncenCves” to open up more lots with home size diversity, this would allow Ansley Land to open
up a total of 38 - 42 lots and one commercial lot:
-6 small single residence Co[age Court Home Lots 1300-1600 sq ^ (Lots 99-104)
-4 small single residence “Shot Gun” Home Lots 1300 - 1600 sq ^ (Lots 119-122)
-10 Townhome Lots 1600 - 1900 sq ^ (Outlots 117,123)
-12 Mews Lots 1400 plus sq ^ (Outlots 117,123)
-9 large residence lots 2000-3000 sq ^ (Outlots 116, 98,32,31)
-1 Commercial Lot #118.
If approved, we would ask for this revised agreement to be put in the City of Ames Budget for
either a revised 2026-27 Budget or 2027-28 budget year.
This revision would accomplish several things. 1) This revised agreement would align be[er
with the goals of the Developer IncenCves to increase lots and diverse home sizes and styles
2) The variety in lot and home sizes would accommodate the current market demand and
increase the city’s property tax revenue. 3) It would allow Ansley Land to be on a more even
“playing field” with compeCng developers receiving incenCves and to be able to receive the
incenCve in a similar Cmeline. 4) We realize that this is ask is more than Cedar Lane Agreement,
but comparable to what has been offered to the development just to our south and actually
opens up more lots.
Thank you for your consideraCon.

Staff Report
608 BURNETT ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT AND INCENTIVE REQUEST
BACKGROUND:
On April 12th, City Council identified consideration of the request from Luke Jensen for
changes to development standards and for incentives regarding a project at 608 Burnett as a
priority for the Planning Division. The developer seeks a number of related changes to
facilitate redevelopment of a parking lot into a 4-story 38-unit +/- apartment building including a
new property tax abatement option.
608 Burnett is a Neighborhood Commercial (NC) zoned property located midblock between
6th and 7th Street. All of the blocks between 6th and 7th Street from Clark to Duff are also
zoned Neighborhood Commercial. See map below. The developer notes the site was identified
as a potential housing location within Ames Main Street's "Downtown Guiding Vision."
This area has the highest concentration of NC zoning in the City and is a hybrid transitional
zoning district for commercial and residential uses. The NC contrasts greatly in its mix of uses
and design requirements compared to the Downtown Service Center (DSC) that applies to the
traditional Downtown Area south of 6th Street. Both areas have a “Core” land use designation
within the City's Ames Plan 2040 (see page 62) reflecting the existing Downtown and
commercial types of land uses as wells as the general planning for intensification of
commercial mixed use in this area.
ZONING CHANGES:
Although NC zoning allows for apartments, several current standards differ from the
concept of the developer. Staff believes the most pertinent issues would include
building height, roof type, floor area ratio, setbacks, certain design guidelines, and the
parking rate. The developers sees the project as “Downtown Housing” and desires
standards more akin to DSC zoning for parking and setbacks, but without other requirements
for mixed use that exist in DSC.
The priority policy issues for zoning changes are likely the requested parking
reductions, along with building height and design requirements. The developer seeks
approval of a parking rate of approximately 1 space per unit, for up to 2-bedroom units.
If this were to be the standard, parking would be 38 spaces, where otherwise 60 spaces
would be required based upon the conceptual mix of units as described to staff. The
developer proposes for some parking to be within a ground floor podium and the
remainder as uncovered parking lot. The building would not extend the width of the lot
183
lot, but instead it would be perpendicular to the street. The outdoor parking lot would
be subject to standard landscaping setback and tree requirements.
The height and design issues are a question of Council's intent for the area as a
transition from traditional Downtown to the Old Town residential neighborhood to the
north and what a compatible type of structure would be, if it did not meet the current
requirements. There are examples of other taller buildings in this area and based upon final
design elements the idea of a 4-story structure could be found to meet the goals of the City for
this area. Upper floor step-back and roof design could be important considerations if allowed
as a 4-story building. A project of this size in NC would require a public hearing and approval
of Special Use Permit by the Zoning Board of Adjustment, which addresses overall building
size and design compatibility along with function of a site.
The developer intends to put ground floor space along Burnett to shield the parking podium
from the street. The area may be a residential unit or residential amenity space, it is not likely
to be commercial space.
INCENTIVES:
Staff has not reviewed any specific developer justification or pro forma for the project. The
request states city requirements have additional costs and incentives are needed. At this
point staff does not know what these costs are that are different compared to anywhere else in
the community. The level of requested abatement (10 Year at 75% abatement) exceeds
any other incentive option that exists in the DSC or CSC zoning districts, which are
similar areas that allow for larger redevelopment projects.
Since this request has been made, the State has made changes to how property tax
incentives and New Valuations are accounted for within the General Levy. These
property tax changes could have long term impacts to City budget where the
incremental improvement value would never be included as New Valuation.
Additionally, the proposed 10 year 75% abatement schedule is not a current schedule utilized
within Ames. If Council believes some incentives are appropriate as requested, there are
issues to be addressed about how it can be best accomplished. This issue of incentives
with a proposed 10-year 75% tax abatement must be explored in greater detail for its
ramifications to all of Downtown and other URAs.
If City Council were to extend the Downtown URA boundary to include this site, it has options
for a 3-year 100% tax abatement or a maximum 10 year partial sliding scale tax abatement,
which is consistent with other URAs in the City. Additionally, the Downtown URA qualifying
criteria assume a mixed-use building and conformance to Downtown Design Guidelines that
may or may not fit the project as proposed.
Creating a new URA would require at least two properties to be included in accordance with
state law, the 608 Burnett site may meet this prerequisite as the site appears to be two lots,
but shown as one property at this time. With a new URA, City Council could choose the
qualifying criteria and abatement schedule. However, under current law if a custom schedule
is created it may also be required to be offered for other URAs as well.
The developer also plans to seek Workforce Housing Tax Credits (WHTC). Note that per the
184
state WHTC program requirements, some form of local match per unit is required to support
the application. For a 38 unit project, a value of at least $38,000 is needed. It would appear
one year of tax abatement would be worth at least $38,000 under current state taxation and
abatement policies, if the project exceeds a value of $5 million.
OPTIONS:
Option 1- Explore changes to zoning standards for all NC zoned properties between 6th
and 7th
The site is one of many similarly situated NC zoned properties between Duff and Clark. If City
Council does not believe the current NC zoning is adequate to address current uses,
transitions, and planned limited levels of redevelopment, changes as requested by the
developer would be appropriate. This option would explore potential changes on a district
basis and may result in a wholly new special purpose zoning district to an updated concept of
Downtown transition.
This option would need outreach and consultation with owners in the area and the Old
Town neighborhood to the north. Prioritization in the work plan would be required.
Option 2 - Explore changes to zoning standards intended to address the Burnett site
only at this time
The same types of issues would be considered, but the result would likely be more generic in
its applicability to NC zoned properties and rely upon the current Special Use Permit process
to assess future projects.
This process likely includes less consultation because of the assumption of the Special
Use Permit process allowing for public comment at a public hearing for the specific
type of project. Therefore,
this option likely takes less time than Option 1 because it is focused on this particular
request and not other potential interests for this area, but is still needing to be
prioritized with the work plan because of the significance and number of desired
changes.
The Developer would propose the changes as a Zoning Text Amendment. This is the
Developer's preferred option due to the potential of a sooner approval than Option 1.
Option 3 - Current Zoning- No Changes
The Developer could construct an apartment building within the standards of the current
zoning of NC with no changes by City Council. The overall building size would be smaller
primarily due to limitations related to height and accommodation of parking on site to serve the
use. Current NC design standards would apply, and the project would require ZBA approval
as a Special Use Permit.
Option 4- Financial Incentives
Separate from zoning issues, is the question of financial incentive amount, type, and qualifying
standards. As mentioned above, the rationale and process that would best fit the project is not
fully fleshed out at this time. If tax abatement is offered, a site specific URA that conforms
185
to standard abatement schedules would be consistent with other projects and the least
likely to have ramifications to other URAs.
As noted above, the recently adopted budget legislation by the State Legislature will have
some long term impacts related to incentives and, therefore, a more in-depth discussion about
the City Council's use of tax incentives before any decisions about future abatement or TIF
incentives are offered.
Option 4 - Workforce Housing Tax Credit Support
The developer has requested the City support an application to the state for workforce housing
tax credits. A letter of support would address that the City will provide for at least $1,000 of
financial assistance per unit and that the zoning will allow for the use, or it is in the process of
being changed. The WHTC application needs to be submitted by the applicant by June 10th
at 4:30 p.m. If Council is interested in considering a letter of support, a draft letter could be
placed on a future agenda for Council approval, but a source of funding ($38,000) would have
to be identified.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The developer has presented his concept at a Old Town Neighborhood meeting to get
preliminary feedback. Staff did not attend this meeting.
The question is not whether infill housing should be allowed on this site. The idea for
infill housing is consistent with the City's Ames Plan 2040 and Ames Main Street's
Downtown Guiding Vision. However, the questions that need to be answered are the
details of what is intended with redevelopment in this area. Although the request is
intended facilitate this project, staff believes the questions brought up by the developer have a
broader application for discussion of all of the area adjacent to Downtown between 6th and
7th, Duff to Burnett.
The requested zoning changes do not currently fit well within any specific type of
zoning that already exists. Staff has not presented a specific approach on what to do at
this point and would await City Council’s direction on scope to define exactly what type
of zoning amendment(s) would be best between changes to NC zoning or a new type of
Zoning District applied to his area. With any option, work plan prioritization is needed,
for which the developer is requesting to be an immediate priority.
The issues of zoning and financial incentives are distinct elements of the developer's request.
City Council can choose to address Options related to one or both of the requests.
Regardless of the selected option(s), final approval of zoning changes, incentives, and
a project are unlikely to occur in the next 60 days, as requested by the developer.
It should be noted that a representative from the United State Postal Service (USPS)
contacted staff to gain an understanding about the proposed project. The USPS currently
has month to month lease for the property and utilizes 54 parking spaces on the site for mail
truck and employee parking. They have expressed concerns about impacts to their
operations if they cannot continue to lease the property. However, the issue of a lease
is a matter for the owner and USPS that does not involve the City. Potentially some City
186
parking lot spaces could be leased on a multi-year basis for the mail trucks, but not enough to
accommodate their total need. To date there has been no formal proposal for parking from
USPS.

Mayor and Council,
I’m reaching out regarding the Downtown Ames vision plan presented and CC (maybe)
adopted last year. I’m interested in bringing forward a high-density, urban multifamily
project that supports the goal of creating a true “18-hour downtown.” Increasing
downtown residents to support retail, restaurants, and activity makes total sense. We
need more people living downtown to build on the current energy.
I have identified a development site at 608 Burnett which is currently a .5 acre parking
lot. My plan includes roughly 38 modern rental units comprising studios, 1 beds and 2
bed units. There would be some amenity space for residents along with both structured
and surface parking. The property would be geared towards urban dwellers who
appreciate and value the location and proximity to the urban core area along with
employment and entrepreneurial opportunities. Additionally, the draw is strong towards
cultural and civic opportunities in the area.
The property is located in the Neighborhood Commercial zoning district. This zoning
needs some modernization to meet the goals of the Downtown Ames vision
plan. Specifically, we need to look at the following ( I think can be achieved in a text
amendment):
Building height/stories-I need to go taller to create some density given the scarcity
of the available land. I am proposing a 4 story building with a flat roof. Roughly 42’-
45’ tall.
Parking: parking ratios are outdated and far too automobile dependent. As the
parking requirements stand today I am ~20 spaces short of meeting the
standard. I’m trying to supply adequate parking of 1 space per unit. Many of the
residents will choose this area as there are far more multimodal transportation
opportunities being in the urban core.

Updated and competitive Development Toolkit
o Urban Revitalization Tax Abatement
At today’s land and construction costs and market rents, a project that
meets the City’s urban design expectations does not financially pencil
without meaningful economic tools in place.
I am proposing a 10 year 75% tax abatement program. This would get
some immediate revenue to the city and not wait 7-10 years like some
of the other communities programs.
I believe Ames is ready to see downtown momentum and I believe we need one project to
"go" to give courage and confidence in market support and viability.
I’m ready to move a high quality project forward. I request the council and staff support on
zoning modifications as well as tax incentives and support for the Iowa Workforce
Housing Tax Credit Application.
Lastly, timing-I have a 120 day due diligence timeline from March 1st. I need to move
quickly and decisively to get confidence in the project's viability. The Workforce Housing
Tax Credit application due date is June 10, 2026.
Thanks,

Staff Report
AMES ANIMAL SERVICES UPDATE
BACKGROUND:
The City's Animal Shelter, located at 325 Billy Sunday Road, is in need of replacement. The
existing facility is undersized and experiences challenges related to weatherization,
mechanical equipment, and other aging systems. City staff has been working through the
planning stages to develop a new animal shelter facility for the past several years.
In November 2024, staff became aware that the property at 2715 Dayton Ave, which recently
housed Eagle’s Loft daycare, was for sale. The City Council obtained an option to purchase
the property following an assessment of the potential to renovate it into a new animal shelter.
On December 26, 2024, the City Council approved an agreement not to exceed $66,360 with
INVISION Architecture LTD (INVISION), Des Moines, Iowa, to analyze the existing conditions
and needs and identify future requirements for a modern animal shelter facility. Following that
evaluation, INVISION was to provide the City with a conceptual design and a preliminary cost
estimate that would be approved as a change order.
After receiving the conceptual design report, on February 18, 2025, City Council approved the
purchase of 2715 Dayton Avenue in the amount of $1.1 million. At that same meeting, staff
notified City Council that an anonymous lead donation of $3 million had been obtained.
On September 2, 2025 City Council approved a change order to the INVISION design contract
for the completion of schematic design, design development, and construction documents,
bidding phase, and construction administration. The contract incorporates references to best
practices outlined by the American Society of Veterinarians (ASV) Guidelines for Sheltering,
and the need to meet the requirements for Animal Welfare of the Iowa Department of
Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS). In addition, the contract outlines the City's interest
in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
SERVICES AND FACILITY DESCRIPTION:
Through discussions with the design team and animal care experts during the design process,
staff learned that the terms "control" and "shelter" were outdated and being less frequently
used to describe facilities like the one being pursued. Based on the new building and the
variety of animal services provided, "Ames Animal Control" will be changing to "Ames Animal
Services." The new facility will also reflect this change.
191
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT:
INVISION and its sub-consultants have worked with City staff and fundraisers to complete a
schematic design and design development of the facility. The design is broken into three
spaces: 1) cat spaces, 2) dog spaces, and 3) human spaces. This design features an
approximately 1,700 square-foot addition that will be utilized as dog spaces and will have a flat
roof to accommodate mechanical equipment. An addition was determined to be the best
financial option for dog spaces due to the needed sound attenuation, plumbing, and durability
required in dog holding areas. This addition will also connect to the outside dog run areas. The
attached presentation shows the schematic design and outside and inside renderings based
on the design development phase.
Sustainability
As part of the design contract, INVISION was to identify options to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. These options could include geothermal heating and cooling, ensuring that the
building is ready to install future solar panels, LED lighting, variable frequency drives for
pumps, and a heat recovery system.
Due to the cost estimate, it does not appear that geothermal heating and cooling is financially
feasible. While there is the possibility of a Federal tax incentive for 30% of the costs
associated with geothermal, it is estimated that adding geothermal could cost 50% to 100%
more than the current estimated HVAC costs. Therefore, it was determined that air-source
heat pumps and heat recovery are the best sustainable options within the current
funding available.
The roof is planned for replacement and will be designed to hold future solar panels. The
electrical equipment will also be designed for the addition of future solar. There is also the
possibility on this site to use ground-mounted solar panels on the west end of the property.
FINANCIAL AND DESIGN DEVELOPMENT ESTIMATE:
The following table shows the current funding and estimated costs for the project. The Design
Development construction estimate was completed by Stecker-Harmsen, a sub-consultant to
INVISION. The design development estimate received based on the information provided
exceeded the established construction budget. Therefore, staff and the design team worked to
value-engineer to a reduced project cost, including making sure the Furniture, Fixtures and
Equipment (FF&E) budget was accurate. This process involved removing items deemed not
necessary due to cost, refining the FF&E budget number with accurate estimates, and
identifying possible alternatives should funding be available. This process resulted in the
revised project being within the identified funding.
The table below shows the breakdown of expenses and revenues for the project. It should be
noted that the design development estimate includes a 5% design contingency for items that
were potentially not in the estimate during the development of construction documents.

Bid Alternates
Based on the value engineering discussion and decisions, some items were marked as add-
alternates for construction if the budget allows, based on favorable bids. The first add-
alternate is for a screen wall on the catio area on the south side of the building. This would
allow for more shade, visual interest, and the opportunity for signage in front of the catios. The
second alternative is for additional parking to the west of the current parking lot. Other items
may be designated as alternatives during the construction document phase and will be
identified when the project goes to bid.
Fundraising
As of this date, volunteer fundraising has met the goal with a lead donation of $3,000,000 for
this project and another $1,500,000 through small donations and gifts to specific project items.
The design team has worked with the fundraising group to make sure the spaces are
appropriate for the donation request.
Additional Scope
Near the end of design development, staff, volunteers, and donors discussed the proposed
schematic design of the dog holding areas and determined that the route to take dogs from
those areas to the outside yards was not ideal. Instead, the ideal scenario is to allow access
from the dog holding areas directly to the yards with a door available in each area. Due to
ADA requirements, this would require expanding the proposed addition and changes to the
yards and egress from the building.
Since modifying the design at this point would require design rework, it was determined that
any changes would require additional design services in addition to the added construction
costs from the increased scope. INVISION provided an estimate of the additional design and
construction costs to accomplish these changes. Additional design costs are be $24,440, and
the additional construction costs are estimated at $154,416 (including a proportionate increase
in contingency) for the expansion of the proposed addition, for a total of $178,856.
The City has received a commitment from the fundraising team to cover the total
$178,856 for the improvements to the dog area. The work related to the redesign will
impact the schedule. The schedule shown below reflects the revised timing. The costs are not
shown in the table above, but will be reflected in future project budgets presented to the City
Council. Staff will prepare and approve the change order for INVISION's contract following this
Council meeting. No further substantial changes to the design are anticipated.
NEXT STEPS
The next steps are to complete the construction documents and bid the project. The estimated
schedule is shown below:

STAFF COMMENTS:
Once the City Council can receives this report, work will proceed with preparation of
construction documents. The revised dog area will be designed and its costs will be covered
by additional donor funding in excess of the $4,500,000 goal.

SUBJECT:13TH AND GRAND POWER LINE RELOCATION
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Department plans to widen the intersection of 13th Street and Grand
Avenue in the 2027 construction season. To allow the reconstruction to occur in a manner that
limits the disruption to traffic and property owners at this busy intersection, Public Works has
requested that public and private utility companies relocate their facilities that conflict with the
project during the 2026 construction season .
To accomplish the relocation of Ames Electric facilities, an outside contractor will be hired to
supply labor, equipment, and materials to relocate the power poles. P rivate communication
company attachments on the City's power poles will be relocated or buried at the individual
communication company's expense. The Electric Department has contracted with DGR
Engineering, Rock Rapids, IA to develop plans and specifications to relocate several power
poles for this upcoming project.
On March 24, 2026, City Council approved preliminary plans and specifications for the 13th &
Grand Power Pole Relocation project. An Invitation to Bid was advertised on the Current Bid
Opportunities section of the Purchasing webpage and a Legal Notice was published on the
websites of a contractor plan room service with statewide circulation. On April 29, 2026, four
bids were received as shown below.

Staff reviewed the bids and determined that the low bid from IES Commercial Inc, of
Holdrege, NE, is acceptable.
The FY 2026/27 Capital Improvements Plan contains $100,000 for this work in the Streetlight
and Line Relocations project. Previously, a sizeable balance of funding for this relocation work
had been accumulated and carried over, but this funding was dropped when it was not clear
when the project would occur.
221
To address the shortfall in funding, Electric worked with Finance to move CIP funding around
during final budget amendments. Some of these projects were complete and had savings; a
couple project will be reprogramed, allowing for funds to be moved to the 13th and Grand
Power Line Relocation project: A list of the projects and available funding is included in the
table below.

ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve final plans and specification and award a contract to IES Commercial, Inc. of
Holdrege, NE, in the amount of $527,595.56.
2. Award this project to another bidder.
3. Do not proceed with the project at this time.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
For Public Works to begin the reconfiguration of the 13th Street and Grand
intersection, the Electric Department will need to move its electric infrastructure in the
vicinity. To meet Public Works' planned project schedule and avoid a delay in their 2027
construction window, Electric Services needs to accomplish its work in 2026. Therefore,
it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as
stated above.

SUBJECT:REVOCABLE LEASE OPTION FOR AIRPORT SOLAR DEVELOPMENT
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
At the April 21, 2026, City Council Workshop a presentation was made regarding a potential
solar farm at the Ames Municipal Airport. The project would require that the City lease portions
of the Airport property to Ames Greenfield Development, LLC (a subsidiary of Recall
Strategies) for the evaluation, installation, and operation of the solar project. The developer
envisions the installation of up to 24.9 MW(ac) of solar panels on an area of approximately
165 acres. The panels would be divided into several separate zones on portions of the
properties that are currently farmed by a tenant who contracts with the City. The City Council
directed that staff proceed with negotiating a revocable lease option agreement.
This agreement is critical if the project is to move forward and qualify for federal tax credits. To
secure the 30% Investment Tax Credit from the Federal government, a project must achieve
"safe harbor" status by July 4, 2026. If the developer fails to secure the lease and make the
necessary financial investments prior to this date, then the credit expires and the project would
see a 30% increase in cost.
This agreement would only provide the developer the right to construct and operate the
project if certain conditions are met. Most significant is the condition that the parties
enter into a Notice to Proceed Amendment, which will contain the terms for the power
purchase including the capacity of the project, the energy pricing, and the specific
areas where the panels will be installed within the lease area. These details cannot be
known until further engineering and negotiations occur this fall. If the parties cannot
agree to this amendment by the negotiated deadline the option agreement would
expire, the project would not be constructed, and the City would have no financial
obligation to the developer. The City would be under no obligation to agree to the
amendment if it finds any term of it objectionable (e.g., pricing, size, impacts to other
Airport users, etc.)
The developer and City staff have worked diligently over the past several weeks to
prepare a lease option agreement that achieves the developer's goals of securing
financing and obtaining the federal tax credits and the staff's goals of creating a cost-
effective energy project while protecting the Airport and its tenants and users.
However, there remain a handful of technical details to that need to be addressed
before the documents can be finalized and presented for approval.
Staff is therefore requesting that the hearing for this agreement be continued to May 19,
2026. The developer has indicated that this is the latest possible date that the
agreement could be approved and leave enough time to complete the safe harbor work
prior to the expiration of the tax credits. City staff believes this one-week extension
224
provides sufficient time to complete and review the lease option details.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Continue the hearing for this revocable lease option agreement to May 19, 2026.
2. Take no action, and do not proceed with the potential solar development project.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The next step in determining if a solar farm can be developed at the Ames Municipal
Airport is to enter into a Revocable Lease Option Agreement. If the parties are unable to
finalize a mutually acceptable agreement, the solar project will not be pursued.
However, even if this agreement is approved, the City and the solar developer still must
arrive at a mutually agreeable Notice to Proceed Amendment (i.e., the Power Purchase
Agreement) or the lease option will lapse.
Assuming a Revocable Lease Option Agreement is approved on May 19, City staff and
the developer then will work over the next several months to finalize the proposed
arrangement of solar panels on the property, the cost of the energy, and the other
terms for the Notice to Proceed Amendment. It is important to keep emphasizing that
the City is under no obligation to agree to the future amendment and proceed with the
proposed solar farm if the terms are unacceptable to the City.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative
1, as described above.

ITEM #:36
DATE:05-12-26
DEPT:ELEC
SUBJECT:AGREEMENTS WITH ITC FOR SUBSTATION OWNERSHIP RIGHTS AT
PRAIRIE VIEW INDUSTRIAL CENTER
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
The Prairie View Industrial Center (PVIC) development, located east of I-35 and south of
Lincoln Way, created the need for a new electrical substation to serve anticipated growth and
new customer demand in the area. Alliant Energy, through its transmission provider, ITC,
identified that existing transmission infrastructure did not have sufficient capacity to reliably
support the required electrical load. Due to the close proximity of Ames Municipal Electric
Utility’s existing 161 kV transmission line connecting the City to MidAmerican Energy
Company’s (MEC) Ankeny substation, Ames was uniquely positioned to assist in
supporting the new substation.
ITC has constructed a new 161 kV electrical substation within the Prairie View Industrial
Center on the south side of Lincoln Way adjacent to Ames’ existing transmission line. During
development of the substation, ITC requested to interconnect with Ames’ 161 kV transmission
system, which extends from the Ames Plant Substation to a MEC substation north of Ankeny.
The purpose of the PVIC substation is to provide Alliant Energy with the transmission capacity
necessary to serve anticipated industrial and commercial growth in the area, while also
allowing portions of existing distribution load to be transferred to the new transformer facilities
planned at the substation.
The interconnection project involves extending the City’s existing 161 kV transmission line and
installing associated transmission equipment within a designated portion of the ITC substation.
This project was previously identified in the City’s Capital Improvements Plan and approved
by Council as part of the FY 2025–2030 CIP.
Three agreement are being proposed to facilitate this project: 1) a Construction Agreement, 2)
a Transmission Interconnection Agreement, and 3) a Joint Ownership Agreement. The
Interconnection and Joint Ownership Agreements provide several important benefits to
the City of Ames. First, joint ownership preserves a clear and direct transmission path
between Ames and MidAmerican Energy Company, maintaining Ames’ participation
within the MEC Load Balancing Area. Second, the agreements provide Ames access to
an additional transmission source, improving overall system reliability and operational
flexibility during planned maintenance activities or unexpected outages. Third,
ownership participation in transmission facilities allows Ames to receive transmission-
related revenues through the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO).
In addition to the immediate reliability benefits associated with the PVIC interconnection, ITC
plans to add a new 161 kV transmission lines between the Fernald and ITC Ames substations
to PVIC, with a future transmission line also planned between PVIC and the City of Ames.
226
These future transmission improvements will further strengthen reliability for Ames Municipal
Electric Utility customers.
Under the terms of the Interconnection and Joint Ownership Agreements, Ames will maintain
joint ownership interests in the applicable transmission and substation facilities, while
MidAmerican Energy Company will continue serving as Ames’ Transmission Operator.
City staff needs additional time to complete the review of these agreements. Therefore,
staff is requesting that the City Council continue the hearing to the May 26, 2026 City
Council meeting.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Continue the hearing to the May 26, 2026 City Council meeting.
2. Do not enter into agreements with ITC at this time and refer this item back to City staff
for additional information.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Alliant Energy was in need of a new substation to serve the Prairie View Industrial Center. ITC,
Alliant's transmission provider, does not have adequate transmission resources in the area to
provide the needed capacity for the substation. With the close proximity of Ames' existing line
that connects the City to MidAmerican's (MEC) Ankeny substation, Ames can help support the
substation.
The three agreements that are being recommended for approval provide several
advantages to the City. First, joint ownership maintains a clear, direct path from Ames
to MEC, preserving Ames as part of the MEC Load Balancing Area. Second, Ames has
access to a new transmission source, further enhancing the electric reliability of Ames'
system in the event of needed maintenance or unplanned outages. Third, utilities that
invest into transmission assets receive revenues from MISO.
More time is necessary to complete the preparation and review of these agreements.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative
No. 1, as noted above.
