An RFP has gone out for a facilitator to conduct the Community Conversations. The deadline for the
RFP is Nov 26th. Results are expected by April.
The City has a contract with ISU Extension to figure out current gaps and outreach in Ames to those
who are homeless. Goldbeck stated that they anticipate a report in late December. A roundtable was
held with homeless service providers. It was well attended, and good discussions were had. Goldbeck is
working on the notes from that roundtable. Smith asked with winter coming, does the problem
become worse? King responded that the County has typically released additional funds when snow
events happen, for hotel rooms. Thompson also responded that some people head south to warmer
weather.
