RESOLUTION APPROVING FY 2026/27 OUTSIDE FUNDING CONTRACTS
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, during adoption of the FY 2026/27 Budget, the City Council reviewed
requests from local organizations. The City Council allocated funds for these
organizations to provide facilities and services to the public. In total $365,000 was
allocated from the Local Option Sales Tax Fund. An additional $15,000 was allocated
from the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund for Ames Regional Economic Alliance (AREA) Workforce
Programming; and,
WHEREAS, a total of $16,500 was allocated in the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund for
parking waiver reimbursements. FY 2024/25 was the first year in which parking waiver
funds were allocated from this source rather than the Local Option Sales Tax Fund. At
the time an event occurs where parking fees area waived, the City Council may approve
a transfer of these funds from the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund to the Parking Fund. Parking
waiver funds are not authorized in any of the individual organization contracts ; and,
WHEREAS, funding for these activities was included in the City's adopted FY
2026/27 Budget. These scopes of services have been developed to ensure that the City's
funding is used for the benefit of the public.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that the FY 2026/27 Outside Funding Contracts are hereby approved as attached.
ADOPTED THIS 26th day of May, 2026.
