PUBLIC FORUM: Mayor Haila opened and closed the Public Forum when no one came forward to speak. HEARING ON REZONING OF PROPERTY AT ONTARIO STREET & SCHOLL ROAD FROM SPECIAL PURPOSE GOVERNMENT/AIRPORT DISTRICT (S-GA) TO FLOATING SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL LOW DENSITY (FS-RL) WITH PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) OVERLAY AND MASTER PLAN: Planning and Housing Director Kelly Diekmann, alongside Planner Benjamin Campbell and Transportation Planner Kyle Thompson, presented the item, explaining that the land in question was formerly owned by Iowa State University and was located south of the Union Pacific rail line. The property was sold to two local developers who were partnering as co-applicants on the rezoning request. Hunziker Companies was the developer of the east side and was proposing 26 single-family detached lots. RES Development was the developer of the west side and was proposing 71 townhome units in a mix of duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes. Council Member Rollins returned to the meeting. The Public Hearing was opened by Mayor Haila. Justin Dodge, Hunziker Companies, addressed the City Council on behalf of the east side of the development. He identified one additional deviation he wished to incorporate into the Planned Unit Development (PUD), a garage-to-front-door setback of 19 feet rather than the currently allowed 12 feet. He explained that on a 43 -foot-wide lot, achieving the 12-foot standard would require finishing a significant length of hallway, adding unnecessary square footage and cost. Luke Jensen, RES Development, addressed the City Council on behalf of the west side of the development, Ontario Towns. He described the project as comprising of 71 attached townhome units and emphasized the developers' commitment to affordable new construction. He noted that the Ames Plan 2040 had anticipated this type of residential use on this property. He referenced the Hayden's Ridge project as a comparable precedent and suggested the City Council consider revisiting PUD design standards. Max Porter stated his opinion that 97 units was too dense for the site and expressed his preference for single-family development. He also questioned whether the 400-foot notice radius was adequate given the railroad right-of-way, raised concerns about neighborhood 15 5 egress if Scholl Road were blocked, asked whether newer stormwater standards had been considered, and requested an origin-destination traffic study. Royce Quinn raised concerns about added traffic from the 97-unit development, noting its proximity to Sawyer Elementary School. She questioned whether a formal traffic study should be required and whether the proposed duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes were compatible with the surrounding predominantly single-family neighborhood. She also inquired how many units would be owner-occupied versus rental. Russell Frerichs reiterated concerns about density and traffic, citing long waits to turn left from Minnesota Avenue onto Ontario Street. He asked the City Council to defer action until a broader origin-destination study of Ontario Street from Stange Road to North Dakota Avenue could be completed and urged a proactive approach to planning. Susan Tucker questioned whether the traffic data was current, noting she had understood at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting that some of it was several years old. She also cited difficulty turning left from Minnesota Avenue onto Ontario Street and expressed concern about additional traffic near the intersection. She reiterated residents’ interest in knowing how many units would be owner-occupied versus rental. Mayor Haila closed the Public Hearing when no one else came forward to speak. Moved by Gartin, seconded by Corrieri, to pass on first reading an ordinance rezoning property at Ontario Street & Scholl Road from Special Purpose Government/Airport District (S-GA) to Floating Suburban Residential Low Density (FS-RL) with Planned Unit Development (PUD) Overlay and Master Plan. Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. Moved by Gartin, seconded by Corrieri, to place a discussion of PUD compatibility standards for front entries on a future agenda. Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. HEARING ON PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH A SOCIAL DISTRICT (SIP & STROLL): Assistant City Manager Brian Phillips, alongside Police Chief Geoff Huff and Director Diekmann, presented the proposed ordinance establishing a Social District. The ordinance would allow alcohol to be carried from establishment to establishment and consumed on public sidewalks and streets within a defined downtown district for approved special events. Assistant City Manager Phillips noted that Ames Main Street wished to utilize the Social District for the Witch's Walk event on October 8, 2026, and that suspending the rules to allow same-night adoption would be necessary if the City Council wished to accommodate this request. Mayor Haila opened the Public Hearing. Greg Piklapp, Ames Regional Economic Alliance Director of Economic Development and Business Advocacy, spoke in support of the Social District, citing its potential to increase events and revenue. 16 6 The Public Hearing was closed by Mayor Haila when no one else came forward to speak. Moved by Betcher, seconded by Junck, to amend the Social District map to remove the section south of the railroad tracks. Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. Moved by Gartin, seconded by Corrieri, to direct Legal Department staff to review the legal right of the City to extend the Social District zone south of the railroad tracks. Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. Moved by Corrieri, seconded by Betcher, to pass on first reading an ordinance to establish a Social District (Sip & Stroll). Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. Moved by Corrieri, seconded by Junck, to suspend the rules and allow for second and third reading. Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. Moved by Corrieri, seconded by Betcher, to pass on second reading an ordinance to establish a Social District (Sip & Stroll). Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. Moved by Betcher, seconded by Corrieri, to pass on third reading and adopt ORDINANCE NO. 4605 establishing a Social District (Sip & Stroll). Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously. HEARING ON REZONING PROPERTY AT 259 AND 263 HYLAND AVENUE FROM RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY (RH) WITH WEST UNIVERSITY IMPACTED DISTRICT OVERLAY (O-UIW) TO RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY (RH) WITH WEST UNIVERSITY PEDESTRIAN ENHANCEMENT DISTRICT OVERLAY (O-WUPED) WITH A MAJOR SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN: Director Diekmann introduced the item, noting that this was the first project to come before the City Council under the newly created West University Pedestrian Enhancement District (O-WUPED) overlay. The subject properties at 259 and 263 Hyland Avenue were located at the corner of Oakland Avenue and Highland Avenue. The project was originally conceived as a single merged parcel with one building, but had evolved into a two-building, two-lot proposal. The Public Hearing was opened by Mayor Haila. Chuck Winkleblack, Hunziker Companies, reported that the design challenges of the project stemmed largely from the roughly 40-foot grade change between Oakland Street and Hyland Avenue. He supported the variance approach for Building A but opposed condition (e), arguing that further architectural emphasis at the Oakland corner could mislead visitors toward a single-unit entrance rather than the main stair tower. He said clearer door treatment and signage would be a better solution. 17 7 Mayor Haila closed the Public Hearing when no one else came forward to speak. Moved by Gartin, seconded by Corrieri, to approve Alternative No. 1, with conditions (a) through (d): • Pass on first reading an ordinance rezoning property at 259 and 263 Hyland Avenue from Residential High Density (RH) with West University Impacted District Overlay (O-UIW) to Residential High Density (RH) with West University Pedestrian Enhancement District Overlay (O-WUPED) with a Major Site Development Plan. • Adopt RESOLUTION NO. 26-603 approving the proposed Major Site Development Plan with the following conditions: a. Provide an outdoor lighting plan prior to issuance of a building permit. b. Provide a roof plan with mechanical equipment screening prior to issuance of a building permit. c. Provide material sample/references for clay brick specifications prior to issuance of a building permit. d. Provided an updated site plan reflecting a Front Yard Setback of 20 Feet with approval of a rear yard variance for 259 Hyland prior to issuance of a building permit for 259 Hyland. (If the variance is not approved, the applicant will return to City Council prior to third reading for approval of the project.) e. Require 263 Hyland Building B modifications to the architectural elements of the primary front entrance at the corner to conform to Design Principle 7.a., which would include more emphasis on the corner of the building and wrapping the corner to the Oakland entrance to make it a more significant element of the design. Alternatively, the canopy along Oakland could be extended in length to be more substantial in scale to the building and include tie back rods to the brick or for it to be expanded in size and area as a porch with columns to the ground instead of a cantilevered canopy. Final Design approval will be by the Planning Director or referred to City Council for approval, prior to issuance of a building permit for 263 Hyland. Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Motion/Resolution declared carried/adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby made a portion of these Minutes. HEARING ON AMENDMENT TO THE CITY-WIDE URBAN REVITALIZATION AREA DESIGNATION AND PLAN: Director Diekmann introduced the item as a follow-up to prior City Council direction arising from the implementation of Senate File 2042 from the 2024 legislative session. He explained that development coming off of tax abatement did not count as new growth for purposes of calculating general fund revenues, and that staff had previously recommended ending the single-family tax abatement program one year earlier than originally planned. The proposal would allow homes where construction began in calendar year 2026 and was completed before the end of 2027 to remain eligible. Homes where construction began on or after January 1, 2027, would not be eligible. Mayor Haila opened the Public Hearing. Justin Dodge, Hunziker Companies, addressed the City Council. He stated that North 18 8 Sunset Ridge had a couple of builders lined up to purchase lots this fall and begin construction, and that those homebuyers would benefit from remaining eligible for the program. He expressed gratitude for the work of Planning and Housing staff on the analysis and requested that the City Council approve Alternative No. 2. The Public Hearing was closed by Mayor Haila when no one else came forward to speak. Moved by Corrieri, seconded by Betcher, to approve Alternative No. 2: • Adopt RESOLUTION NO. 26-604 amending the plan eligibility requirements for new construction of ownership housing to transition the program to end one year early and to exclude new construction ownership housing according to the list of ineligible subdivisions in the Council Action Form with modifications to allow homes in the Sunset Ridge North Second and Third Additions that meet all other eligibility requirements, including the amended construction timeline requirements, to qualify for the abatement. • Adopt RESOLUTION NO. 26-605 amending the Urban Revitalization Plan boundaries to include property that has been annexed to the City through September 22, 2026.

Four of the five new lots would be designated as outlots for transfer of ownership between the two parties and future development. One lot would be platted and initially developed with County-approved conditional use for a concrete plant. Mayor Haila opened the Public Input. Civil Design Advantage Civil Engineer Erin Ollendike and Concrete Technologies Inc. Owner Brad Baumler spoke regarding the request, giving a brief overview of the history of 21 11 the property. Mr. Baumler explained that a conditional use permit had already been obtained from Story County in order to construct a concrete mixing batch plant. He indicated that the site was planned to be used for mineral extraction in the future, describing extraction as a slow process with shallow mines of less than 60 feet deep. The Public Input was closed by Mayor Haila when no one else came forward to speak. Moved by Betcher, seconded by Rollins, to approve Option No. 3: Direct staff to inform the landowner that they can pursue a boundary line adjustment to reconfigure the boundary lines of the existing properties.

Police 515.239.5105 main 515.239.5142 fax 515 Clark Ave. P.O. Box 811 Ames, IA 50010 www.CityofAmes.org 38 ITEM #:12 DATE:10-13-26 DEPT:P&H SUBJECT:INITIATION OF ANNEXATION OF THE PROPERTY AT 4140 UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: The Iowa State University Research Park (ISURP) has recently acquired 4140 University Boulevard, a 3.17-acre property that has a single home on it. The site is located at the south edge of Ames along S 530th Street (which becomes University Blvd. inside Ames' corporate limits) and surrounded by recently annexed land owned by the ISURP (See the attached Location Map). No other territory can be added to the annexation request. In July 2025, the City Council considered a request to annex the subject property as part of a larger request to annex ISURP property with an 80/20 annexation to make more uniform boundaries. At that time, the previous owner objected to annexation and the City Council removed the property from the larger annexation, which proceeded. A new annexation must now be initiated to bring the property into the City. Ames Plan 2040 designates the subject property and adjoining properties as “Employment” (Emp.) and shows them as a future urban growth area for the City. The Employment designation is for industrial and large-scale employment uses, such as ISURP. Applicable zoning districts include the RI Research Park Innovation District and GI General Industrial District. Upon annexation, the site is intended to be rezoned Research Park Innovation District (RI), instead of Agricultural (A), and incorporated into the Iowa State University Research Park Phase IV, 1st Addition Subdivision, to allow for operations that are consistent with the surrounding property. Staff has previously reviewed all infrastructure needs for the area with the prior ISURP annexation from 2025. Annexing the subject project does not impact any of the infrastructure planning that was completed with the Master Plan rezoning process for the abutting ISURP land. The ISURP Master Plan for the adjoining property that surrounds the site will be updated to include this site with the future rezoning process. City water and sewer utilities exist within the current ISURP boundaries and can be extended by the applicant to serve the ISURP site. 39 ALTERNATIVES: 1. Initiate the application for 100% Voluntary Annexation for the property at 4140 University Blvd and initiate the concurrent rezoning of the site to Research Park Innovation District rather than Agricultural upon its annexation approval. 2. Decline to initiate the requested annexation. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff has reviewed the request for a 100% voluntary Annexation of the property at 4140 University Blvd. The proposed annexation is consistent with Ames Plan 2040 projections for growth and is envisioned as the ISURP’s next phase of growth. Annexation of the property will create more uniform boundaries and be combined with the existing surrounding ISURP land. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above.

The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) specifically recommends that governments conduct interim reviews to ensure data accuracy, identify variances as they occur, and give decision-makers the information they need to respond promptly to emerging trends. While the Finance Department has historically reviewed financial information internally, this information has not been formally compiled for presentation to the City Council. Establishing quarterly reporting represents a significant step toward aligning the City's financial practices with GFOA guidance, strengthening transparency, and enhancing oversight of the City’s finances. Quarterly reporting supports more effective budget monitoring by enabling the City to evaluate revenues and expenditures as they occur rather than waiting until year-end. This proactive approach ensures that unexpected changes can be addressed in time to protect service delivery. It also provides comparative and trend data, which are essential for evaluating financial performance, understanding the causes of variances, and supporting informed decision-making by elected officials. Regular reporting not only improves financial management and but also promotes accountability and transparency. In keeping with these best practices, the Finance Department has prepared the City’s FY 2026/27 Quarter 1 financial report as of September 30, 2026, which is attached for the City Council's review. The report provides fund balances, revenues, and expenditures for FY 2026/27 through the end of the first quarter, along with comparative information from the prior fiscal year. The quarterly report will serve two purposes: it will offer the City Council a clear picture of the City’s financial position during the year, and it will function as an internal monitoring tool for the Finance Department to identify inaccuracies, anomalies, and unanticipated changes in financial activity. OPTIONS: Should the City Council desire additional or more detailed information, staff can be directed to include that information in a future report. 48 STAFF COMMENTS: The Finance Department has made quarterly reporting a standard practice. Reports will be provided after each quarter of the fiscal year, with accompanying analysis to highlight major findings and explain significant variances. The practice demonstrates the City's commitment to sound financial management, transparency, and adherence to GFOA’s recognized best practices in governmental finance. ATTACHMENT(S): 2026-27 Quarter 1 Financial Report FINAL.pdf 49 City of Ames, Iowa Fiscal Year 2026/27 Quarter 1 Financial Report 50 FY 2026/27 Quarterly Financial Summary Period Ending September 30, 2026 Introduction The following reports summarize the City’s revenues, expenditures, and fund balances for the first quarter of FY 2026/27. It should be noted that the “Fund Balance 6/30/26” amounts for each fund (the first column in the fund balance report) are still unaudited numbers at this point. The balances could change because of late revenue or expenditure accruals as well as other audit adjustments. The balances will be updated in future quarterly reports. A few other explanations for the “Fund Balance 6/30/26” column are included below: - Many of the funds with negative balances at the beginning of the year are construction or grant funds with expenditures in FY 2025/26 for which reimbursement was not received by the end of the fiscal year. These funds include Public Safety Donations and Grants, the CDBG Program, Parks and Recreation Grants, Street Construction, Water Construction, Sewer Improvements, and Stormwater Improvements. It is common for expenditures and reimbursements in these types of funds to cross fiscal years and the reimbursements will be received in FY 2026/27. - The Special Assessments fund traditionally has a negative beginning balance. When assessments are created to cover the cost of debt issuance, the principal and interest payments for the debt begin immediately. The assessment revenue received to cover the cost of the debt, however, is collected over time. The fund’s negative balance will be resolved over time as the assessments are collected. Listed below are some explanations for fund balances at the end of the first quarter of FY 2026/27: - Some funds that support capital projects are currently showing balances that may be larger than anticipated. These funds, including Local Option Sales Tax, Road Use Tax, New Animal Shelter Donations, Winakor Donation, Council Priorities, and the Utility funds, show higher balances due to the timing of the capital projects budgeted in those funds. - Many grant and construction funds continue to show negative balances at the end of the first quarter of FY 2026/27. These funds include Public Safety Donations and Grants, Parks and Recreation Grants, Street Construction, Airport Improvements, Water Construction, Sewer Improvements, and Stormwater Improvements. The reimbursements for the capital expenditures in these funds will be received in FY 2026/27. - Three internal service funds (Fleet Services, Information Technology, and Shared Communications) show negative fund balances at the end of the first quarter because their first quarter expenditures have not yet been reimbursed by the departments they support. 51 Revenues The adjusted budget for revenues is unchanged from the adopted budget. The first FY 2026/27 budget amendment approved by City Council in September was for expenditures only. Overall revenues on 9/30/26 were at 32.8% of the adopted amount for FY 2026/27. This is higher than would be expected at the end of the first quarter, since many revenues, such as utility payments, Local Option Sales Tax, and Hotel/Motel Tax, are received at the end of periods. It is more typical for the revenues at the end of the first quarter to be less than 25% of the budgeted amount for the fiscal year. The revenue at the end of the first quarter of FY 2026/27 is higher largely due to the issuance of General Obligation bonds in September. In the General Obligation Bond fund, the projected revenue for FY 2026/27 is $24,227,686. Revenue of $24,053,120, or 99.3%, has already been received. Similarly, in the Resource Recovery Improvements Fund, the projected revenue from the issuance of bonds was $15,117,620. Due to the increased cost of the project, the actual revenue received by the end of September was $22,224,924, 147% of the budgeted amount. Other revenue items to note: - The revenue in the New Animal Shelter Donations fund is significantly lower at the end of the first quarter of FY 2026/27 than at the end of the first quarter of FY 2025/26. This is due to the fundraising campaign that was at its peak in FY 2025/26. Some donations continue to be received, however, which can be seen in the FY 2026/27 actuals column. Nothing was budgeted to be received in FY 2026/27, but a projected amount will be added as part of this year’s budget process. - The $24,053,120 in revenue in the General Obligation Bonds Fund is due to the issuance of bonds on September 15, 2026. The revenue amount is significantly higher than at the end of the first quarter of FY 2025/26 because the FY 2025/26 general obligation bonds were not issued until October 14, 2025. - The Sewer Utility Fund’s revenue is lower at the end of the first quarter of FY 2026/27 than at the end of the first quarter of FY 2025/26. This is due to an FY 2025/26 first quarter billing to NADC for a $2,126,036 prepayment for their contribution to the improvements at the WPC facility. - Electric Utility revenue is at 32.2% of its projected FY 2026/27 total. That is higher than would be expected at the end of the first quarter because revenue from utility billings is received at the end of billing periods. The higher-than-normal revenue is due to the repayment of a $7,100,000 loan that was made at the end of FY 2025/26 to the Resource Recovery Improvements Fund. The loan was made to provide cash for the R3C project until bonds could be issued. Once the bond proceeds were received in September, the loan was repaid to the Electric Utility Fund. - The Stormwater Improvements Fund is showing a negative $25,000 revenue because grant revenue was accrued in FY 2025/26 but not received. The revenue accrual was reversed in FY 2026/27 to offset the revenue when it is received, since it was already recorded as revenue in FY 2025/26. 52 - The $22,224,924 in FY 2026/27 revenue in the Resource Recovery Improvements Fund is from the issuance of bonds for the R3C project. A similar bond issue did not occur in FY 2025/26. - Recycling revenue is being shown for the first time in the Recycling Services fund. At the end of the first quarter of FY 2026/27, the revenue is at 21.4% of what was projected for the year, showing that revenue in the fund is keeping pace with what was projected for this new service. - The Shared Communications fund, which accounts for the revenues and expenses of the MAPSG system funded through the City, ISU, Story County, and the E911 system, shows negative revenue of $68,529 at the end of the first quarter. The expenses in this fund are reimbursed by the participating entities at the end of the calendar year, but an accrual is made at the end of the fiscal year as a portion of the revenue is for January through June of the prior year. The accrual was then reversed in FY 2026/27 so the revenue would not be overstated in the current year when the invoices are processed. Expenditures The FY 2026/27 adjusted budget for expenditures includes the amounts adopted in the FY 2026/27 budget and the amounts included in the first amendment to the FY 2026/27 budget approved by City Council in September. A significant portion of the amounts included in the amendment are carryover amounts for capital projects that were incomplete at the end of FY 2025/26. Actual expenditures at 9/30/26 are at 16.8% of adjusted budgeted expenditures. None of the expenditures seem out of line with what would be expected at this point in the fiscal year. Some negative expenditures can normally be seen in the first quarter of every fiscal year. These negative expenditures are typically related to retainages for capital projects that have not yet been paid but need to be accrued to the prior fiscal year because the retainages relate to work that was performed in the prior fiscal year. The retainage accrual is then reversed in the current fiscal year to offset the actual retainage payment since the expenditure was already recorded in the prior year. These negative expenditures can be seen in the Indoor Aquatic Center Donations Fund, the Council Priorities Capital Fund, the Furman Aquatic Center Trust Fund, and the Water Construction Fund. Other expenditure items to note: - Expenditures in the Capital Projects Fund group are lower at 9/30/26 than they were at 9/30/25. This is simply due to the timing of capital projects that are in progress during each quarter. - Electric Utility expenditures are significantly higher than they were at the end of the first quarter of FY 2025/26. This is due to the $18,759,137 payment that was made in September to Wartsila for the engines for the new Ames Municipal Energy Center (AMEC). It should also be noted that the Electric Utility FY 2026/27 budget has been increased from $92,714,590 to $141,066,564, largely due to the increased cost and the scheduling of the payments for the AMEC project. 53 - Significant FY 2026/27 expenditures are being shown in the Resource Recovery Improvements Fund. While some of the expenditures are related to the R3C project, $7,100,000 of the total is a loan repayment to the Electric Utility Fund. The Electric Utility Fund loaned the funding to the Resource Recovery Improvements Fund at the end of FY 2025/26 to cover the project costs until the bonds that provide funding for the project could be issued. - Expenditures can be seen for the first time in the Recycling Services Fund as the new service began operation on July 1, 2026. - Expenditures in the Information Technology Fund are at 34.2% of the total budget for FY 2026/27 due to the July 1 payment of many of the software contracts for the fiscal year. The expenditures are also higher compared to the first quarter of FY 2025/26 due to the increased cost of software subscriptions and network-related services. These same factors can be seen affecting expenditures in the Shared Communications Fund, which accounts for the revenues and expenses of the MAPSG system. - The Risk Management Fund is at 64.2% of its 2026/27 budgeted expenditures because the renewals for property insurance, liability insurance, flood insurance, and other types of insurance are annual payments that are made at the beginning of the fiscal year. 54 Fund Balance Summary Fund Balance FY 2026/27 Year-to-Date FY 2026/27 Year-to-Date Quarter 1 Ending Budgeted Ending $ 13,771,178 $ 6,486,367 $ 11,544,561 $ 8,712,984 $ 11,074,767 Local Option Tax $ 10,386,425 $ 2,247,154 $ 2,174,318 $ 10,459,261 $ 5,604,975 Hotel Motel Tax 1,665,255 608,357 521,722 1,751,890 2,203,622 Road Use Tax 8,981,091 1,761,455 2,464,898 8,277,647 1,801,396 Bike Licenses -

This program provides funds to local law enforcement agencies to support the purchase of new and replacement bulletproof vests for individual officers. This protective device is critical to the safety of police officers. Bulletproof vests have an approximate five-year life cycle. The Police Department has a rotating schedule for replacement of vests for current officers. In addition, as new officers are added to the department, new vests tailored to the individual officer must be purchased. During the 2026/27 fiscal year, the schedule calls for the acquisition or replacement of 16 vests. The Police Department has participated in this grant for many years to help supplement the costs of the vests. The estimated cost for these vests is $15,360. The grant requires that local agencies must provide 50% of the cost. To the extent that federal funds are available, the BVP program will provide the other 50%. The FY 2026/27 Police budget was constructed with the expectation that a Bulletproof Vest Partnership grant would be applied for and received, so the Police Department’s 50% share has already been budgeted as a commodities expense. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the Police Department’s application to and participation in the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bulletproof Vest Partnership program. 2. Do not approve the Police Department’s application to and participation in the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bulletproof Vest Partnership program. 61 CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Bulletproof vests are an indispensable piece of safety equipment for police officers. Historically the Police Department has successfully participated in this program with the U.S. Department of Justice to provide protection to local officers. Participation in this program allows the City to provide the best product to officers with half the cost paid by the Department of Justice. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above. 62 ITEM #:15 DATE:10-13-26 DEPT:ADMIN SUBJECT:REQUESTS FROM MUCKY DUCK PUB FOR NOVEMBERFEST ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2026 COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: Mucky Duck Pub, 3100 S. Duff Avenue, is planning to host a Novemberfest celebration on Saturday, November 7, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., with a rain date of November 14, 2026. This event will include an outdoor alcohol service area in the establishment’s parking lot with food and music. In order to facilitate this event, Mucky Duck Pub is requesting an expansion of the existing outdoor service area and suspension of parking regulations along the south side of Crystal Street from 110 Crystal Street to Opal Drive from 1:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The suspension of parking regulations along Crystal Street will allow the Pub’s patrons to use that area for parking, since the existing parking lot would be dedicated to the expanded outdoor service area. Mucky Duck Pub already possesses a Class C Retail Alcohol License with outdoor service privilege and has submitted the appropriate amendment request for the extended outdoor service area to the State of Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division (ABD). Both Police and Fire staff have reviewed the emergency action plan prepared by the applicant. Organizers will obtain a noise permit from the Police Department. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the requests to expand the existing outdoor service area, pending ABD approval, and suspend parking regulations to allow parking along the south side of Crystal Street from 110 Crystal Street to Opal Drive from 1:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on November 7 (or on the rain date of November 14 if needed). 2. Do not approve the requests. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The applicant for this event has already applied for the appropriate amendment to their alcohol license for the event. The applicant also has a history of hosting similar activities in the proposed space, and meeting the safety expectations of City staff. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above. 63 ATTACHMENT(S): Application_Redacted.pdf Site Plan.png Temporary Outdoor Service - Mucky Duck Pub.pdf 64 65 If your event is more than one day, please specify date range.

On June 1, COTA recommended Fall Special Project Grant awards to agencies, including KHOI and Rolling Hills Chamber Music Association. During the meeting, COTA's recommendation was for KHOI to receive $600 and Rolling Hills to receive $1,000. Unfortunately, the minutes transposed these amounts. The minutes were used to prepare the contracts which were then presented to the City Council for approval using the transposed amounts. COTA did not have a July meeting, and therefore the error was not identified until the August 3 meeting, after contracts had been signed and in effect. On September 14, COTA reviewed the situation and recommended that Rolling Hills Chamber Music Association's contract be amended to increase it from $600 to $1,000. A contract amendment has been prepared to accomplish this, which has been signed by the organization and returned to City staff. COTA has an available special project grant balance of $9,832 to fund the $400 increase. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the COTA Fall Special Project Grant amendment with Rolling Hills Chamber Music Association in the amount of $400. 2. Do not approve the contract amendment. 3. Refer this item to staff or COTA for further information. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The COTA Special Project Grant award made to Rolling Hills Chamber Music Association was inadvertently reduced from the recommended amount by $400 prior to its approval by City Council and the organization. COTA has an ample balance to be able to increase the contract amount to its original intended award and has recommended proceeding with that action. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above. 77 ATTACHMENT(S): Rolling Hills Chamber Music (Music Festival).pdf Rolling Hills AMENDMENT.docx 78 Page 1 of 3 CONTRACT FOR ARTS FUNDING THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into July 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, by and between the CITY OF AMES, IOWA, a municipal corporation organized and existing pursuant to the laws of the State of Iowa (hereinafter sometimes called "City") and ROLLING HILLS CHAMBER MUSIC, INC., OF AMES, IOWA (hereinafter called "Provider"); for funding of said Provider up to and including $600.00; WITNESSETHS THAT, WHEREAS, the City of Ames has, by its City Council acting in open and regular session, and through the Commission on the Arts, determined that the Provider has met the criteria established by the City for arts funding and shall receive funds for certain services and facilities in accordance with the written agreement as hereinafter set out; NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto have agreed and do agree as follows: I: PURPOSE The purpose of this Agreement is to procure for the City of Ames and its citizens certain arts-related programs and activities as hereinafter described and set out; to establish the conditions governing payment by the City of Ames for such services; and, t o establish other duties, responsibilities, terms, and conditions mutually undertaken and agreed to by the parties hereto in consideration of the services to be performed and monies paid.

BY______________________________ Authorized Representative 83 To:Mayor and City Council From:Casandra Eames, Engagement Coordinator Date:October 13, 2026 Subject:STORY COUNTY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION COMMUNITY BETTERMENT GRANT Item No. 18 MEMO In early September 2026, the Homeless Outreach and Support Team (HOST) expressed interest in applying for the Story County Community Foundation (SCCF) Community Betterment Grant, which could make awards up to $25,000. HOST includes the City of Ames Mental Health Advocate, members of the Alternative Response for Community Health (ARCH), the Social Worker with Mary Greeley, and as of recently, staff from the Romero House. Since HOST is not an organized entity, it is not eligible to apply. Therefore, HOST members inquired about the City of Ames applying on behalf of HOST for the grant. Staff agreed this opportunity would be beneficial and awarded funds would further support HOST's work in serving vulnerable individuals and families in Ames. Therefore, staff worked with HOST to prepare a Community Betterment Grant application for up to $20,000 on behalf of HOST and submitted that grant by the due date of September 30, 2026. This memo is meant to apprise the City Council of the staff's submittal of this grant application. All materials submitted with that grant application are attached. If Council desires withdraw, it would be appropriate to make a motion accordingly. If no motion is made and a grant is awarded, staff will proceed with the grant. In summary, the grant application proposes that with this grant HOST will be able to continue its ongoing work by addressing homelessness through two strategies: Administration 515.239.5105 main 515.239.5142 fax 515 Clark Ave. P.O. Box 811 Ames, IA 50010 www.CityofAmes.org 84 Strategy 1: The SCCF grant funds can be used to purchase and fulfill immediate, practical needs for individuals and families experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness. HOST anticipates supporting more than 50 individuals with items such as: Replacement IDs Bus tickets Uber rides Phones and supplies Car titles and registrations Gift cards Food and gas vouchers Cy-Ride passes Miscellaneous items (bug spray, sunblock, water, clothes, shoes, car seats, medications, shower cards, etc.) * This strategy may seem familiar because this work has been ongoing for the last two years, supported by City of Ames funding. In 2024 and 2025, Council has approved $21,250 for HOST outreach activities. Strategy 2: Expanding community education around homelessness in Ames, while building a pipeline of community volunteers. This strategy includes providing a minimum of four educational opportunities to the community around causes, contributing factors, and impacts of homelessness. These sessions will include a poverty simulation component and facilitating a minimum of two Mental Health First Aid sessions (which include substance abuse education) at no cost to the community. HOST is requesting a total of $20,000 from the Story County Community Foundation. $11,350 is being requested for Strategy 1: fulfill practical, immediate barrier-reducing services; and $8,650 is being requested for strategy 2: expanding community education on homelessness, while building a pipeline of community volunteers to support those who are unsheltered. HOST received several letters of support for its application, also attached. After the grant funds are exhausted, efforts will be sustained through community involvement, either through direct engagement or by supporting HOST financially.

Project Name: HOST (Homeless Outreach and Support Team) Briefly describe the need, challenge, or opportunity this project addresses. Include relevant context and data and clearly identify the population(s) served. [25 points] Since 2024, the Homeless Outreach and Support Team (HOST) has existed to serve vulnerable individuals and families in Story County experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness. HOST consists of 1) a Steering Committee with representatives from the Ames Police Department, Mary Greeley Medical Center (MGMC) - Alternative Response for Community Health (ARCH), The Salvation Army, and The Romero House; and 2) a significant collaboration network of approximately 20 representatives from local service provider organizations that serve the vulnerable populations, such as Eyerly Ball, YSS, Ames School District, and more. This collaboration convenes weekly to coordinate and provide wraparound services. HOST is not an entity, but a strategic partnership. Although there is no great way to measure the number of individuals experiencing homelessness, some working data is available that demonstrates the community need. Through the HOST collaboration, last school year the Ames Community School District was able to house 55% of identified homeless students (58 children), and at the end of the school year, there were 125 students identified on the homeless roster. Additionally, in the last nine months, HOST has served 4 individuals with replacement IDs; 18 people with bus tickets; 3 individuals with uber rides; 15 individuals with phones/minutes; and 1 person to obtain a car title registration. Additionally, HOST has provided 39 CyRide passes, 100 food and gas vouchers, 151 local gift cards for essential needs, and other miscellaneous needs. 88 QUESTIONS? PLEASE CONTACT KARIN SEVDE AT KSEVDE@STORYCOUNTYFOUNDATION.ORG 3 3 Additional data is attached in the "June 24, 2025 HOST Update to City Council" and the "Host Impact Infographic." Outline the project's overall goal(s), and list specific, measurable objectives, including the outcomes you expect to achieve [20 points]: HOST’s overarching goal is to provide immediate stabilization and recovery support to marginalized populations while empowering the broader community to take an active role in supporting vulnerable populations. This proposed project focuses on supporting the ongoing work of HOST by addressing homelessness through two strategies: 1) fulfilling immediate, practical needs for individuals and families experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness, and 2) expanding community education on homelessness, while building a pipeline of community volunteers to support individuals/families who are unsheltered. Strategy 1 Objective: Fulfill immediate, practical needs for individuals and families experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness. Outcomes: 1. Provide essential items to people who are unhoused or at risk of becoming unhoused to help meet immediate needs and prevent further hardship. The list of eligible services is provided in the Major Budget Items table below. Examples include providing bus tickets, cell phones and minutes, replacement IDs, etc. HOST anticipates impacting more than 50 individuals. 2. Provide non-monetary resources and services to people who are unhoused or at risk of becoming unhoused to help meet immediate needs and prevent further hardship. Examples include facilitating warm handoffs to the justice system diversion programs and connecting individuals directly with treatment facilities. HOST anticipates impacting more than 50 individuals. 3. Support individuals with securing and maintaining employment and permanent housing. This builds on the successful ongoing collaborative efforts, which helped house 55% of identified homeless students (58 children) in the Ames Community School District last year. Strategy 2 Objective: Expanding community education on homelessness, while building a pipeline of community volunteers to support individuals/families who are unsheltered. 89 QUESTIONS? PLEASE CONTACT KARIN SEVDE AT KSEVDE@STORYCOUNTYFOUNDATION.ORG 4 4 Outcomes: 1. Provide a minimum of four educational opportunities to the community around causes, contributing factors, and impacts of homelessness. These sessions will include a poverty simulation component. 2. Facilitate a minimum of two Mental Health First Aid sessions (which include substance abuse education) at no cost to the community. 3. Increase community awareness of the connection between housing instability, employment, education, physical health, and mental health. 4. Reduce community member misconceptions and stigmas associated with unsheltered individuals. 5. Identify a minimum of 15 community members who are committed and equipped to volunteer to assist with various needs to support the unhoused, such as assisting with completing job applications, applying for housing, and staffing the local warming shelter. Describe the key activities and steps required to achieve the stated goals and objectives. Provide a reasonable timeline for implementation. [15 points] To achieve the goals of this proposal, HOST will execute the following key activities based on the two strategies outlined: Strategy 1: Fulfilling immediate, practical needs for individuals and families experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness. a. Continue conducting street outreach (immediately and ongoing): HOST currently conducts weekly visits to the Ames Romero House and the Ames Public Library and does street-level outreach at popular encampment sites around Ames. This work will continue as part of this grant proposal. b. Continue convening local partner agencies for service coordination (immediately and ongoing): HOST will continue convening over 20 local partner organizations weekly to coordinate wraparound care, reduce agency duplication efforts, and secure essentials resources for individuals transitioning into rental units. c. Identify individuals/families to receive immediate/practical services (immediately and ongoing): After each weekly HOST meeting, individuals to receive immediate/practical services will be identified and the services they will receive will be documented and executed (ex. HOST agrees John Doe needs assistance with 90 QUESTIONS? PLEASE CONTACT KARIN SEVDE AT KSEVDE@STORYCOUNTYFOUNDATION.ORG 5 5 paying the fee for obtaining a new ID and applying for rental housing, therefore HOST will assist John Doe with this and pay the fees on his behalf ). A report of final expenditures will be provided at the end of the grant period or as often as requested. Strategy 2: Expanding community education on homelessness, while building a pipeline of community volunteers to support individuals/families who are unsheltered. a. Conduct Community Education Sessions: Quarterly, HOST will collaborate with community partners to host poverty simulation sessions that are open for public participation. Additionally, HOST will facilitate two Mental Health First Aid sessions (which include substance abuse education) at no cost to the community. b. Establish a Community of Volunteers: By the end of the fourth educational session (the 12-month mark since project execution), the goal is to have recruited and onboarded a minimum of 15 dedicated community volunteers to provide direct support to the marginalized community. Materials to support this effort, including a guide for volunteering, will be produced before the education sessions begin to support the success of this effort. Explain the long-term impact this project is expected to have. If applicable, describe how the project will continue or be sustained after grant funds are exhausted. [10 points] The long-term impact of this project will further cultivate a proactive community that takes ownership of supporting its vulnerable neighbors. This will be achieved by educating the public on issues that may lead to homelessness and empowering community members to become volunteers to support those who are unhoused or at risk of being unhoused. Additionally, by leveraging social networks and providing practical assistance, the goal is to continue helping the unhoused find and remain in permanent housing. This effort also strives to shift the community to be more proactive than reactive; for example, community members will be equipped to intervene and connect individuals with resources months before an impending eviction occurs. Following the exhaustion of grant funds, the project will be sustained through the community involvement anticipated to be generated by our educational programs. As residents become more engaged, HOST will have the opportunity to be supported by community members through volunteer time, and those unable to volunteer will be encouraged to support HOST financially. 91 QUESTIONS? PLEASE CONTACT KARIN SEVDE AT KSEVDE@STORYCOUNTYFOUNDATION.ORG 6 6 Currently the Mary Greeley Foundation is accepting donation funds on behalf of HOST, and some private donations has been received to date; however, we anticipate this grant proposal will further enable HOST to get the word out about how resident can support the goals of HOST to assist the unhoused. Explain how you will publicly recognize the Story County Community Foundation for its grant support. Include specific communication methods (e.g. print, digital, or in- person), target audiences and opportunities for public recognition or visibility. [5 points] HOST will ensure high visibility for the Story County Community Foundation by recognizing its vital support through multiple channels: • In-Person and Presentations: The Foundation's grant support will be explicitly mentioned in every HOST community presentation, update, and forum held throughout 2026 and 2027. In the past, the local newspapers have covered the success of HOST, and we anticipate that if awarded this grant, the local newspapers may highlight this. Additionally, if awarded, this will be on the City of Ames City Council agenda where Story County Community Foundation will be acknowledged for its financial partnership. • Print Materials: Acknowledgment of the Foundation’s funding will be featured on flyers distributed at all educational events. • Social Media: If awarded, the news will be shared on the City of Ames and Ames Romero House’s social media accounts. Additionally, we will share data-driven success metrics made possible by this funding, such as the number of new volunteers. • Press Release: The City of Ames would issue a press release announcing the award, recognizing the support of the Story County Community Foundation.

PLEASE CONTACT KARIN SEVDE AT KSEVDE@STORYCOUNTYFOUNDATION.ORG 7 7 Provide a detailed project budget that outlines all anticipated revenues and expenses. [10 points] 1. Amount requested from the Story County Community Foundation 2. Additional funding sources, secured and/or pending: e.g. have you applied for grant funding for the same project with another source? If so, who with? 3. List of all in-kind contributions Provide a line-item budget for all planned expenditures. Upload quotes of items to be purchased, bids for contract work to be done and all relevant information we may need to consider your request. [10 points] HOST is requesting a total of $20,000 from the Story County Community Foundation. Of the total request, $11,350 is being requested for strategy 1: fulfilling practical, immediate barrier-reduction services to ensure individuals can successfully access resources needed to secure housing, employment and services needed. The remaining $8,650 is being requested for strategy 2: expanding community education on homelessness, while building a pipeline of community volunteers to support individuals/families who are unsheltered. Below is a breakdown of how funds will be allocated: Major Budget Items Cost In-Kind Funding (name) Matching Fund SCCF Funding Request Example: wheelchair $900 $300 $600 Education and training (two Mental Health First Aid sessions and four education sessions including a poverty simulation component) $8,650 $8,650 Transportation Services $2,000 $2,000 Bus tickets outside of the city of Ames proper $3,600 $3,600 Cy-Ride monthly passes $1,000 $1,000 Cell phones & minutes $1,200 $1,200 Replacement IDs $150 $150 Birth Certificates $600 $600 Apartment application fees $600 $600 Miscellaneous items (bug spray, sun block, water/ice for cooler to hand out, clothes, shoes/work boots, apartment move-in supplies, car seats, medications, sleeping bags, $2,200 $2,200 93 QUESTIONS? PLEASE CONTACT KARIN SEVDE AT KSEVDE@STORYCOUNTYFOUNDATION.ORG 8 8 shower chairs, hygiene products, hand/feet warmers, hats, scarves, gloves, coats, beds, bedding, etc.) TOTAL, $20,000 TOTAL $20,000 Other Funding Sources Secured In 2024 and 2025, the City of Ames provided HOST with $21,250 to pilot the work of HOST, specifically related to strategy number one: fulfilling immediate, practical needs for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. This pilot flex fund was intended to launch HOST and garner community support. Since HOST's formation, the group has been able to raise short of $7,000 in private dollars through generous donors through the help of Mary Greeley Foundation. Although no larger organization funds have been committed yet, HOST anticipates making a funding request to the City of Ames, Mary Greeley Medical Center, and Story County yet this calendar year. Explain how the Story County Community Foundation grant funds will be used. Will the funds pay for the entire project? If not, what items will the funds be used for? [5 points] The Story County Community Foundation grant funds will be used to directly provide essential, gap -filling resources for marginalized individuals and expand community education regarding poverty and mental health as outlined in the Major Budget Items above. This funding request does not pay for the entirety of the work HOST does. HOST's broader, ongoing operations are sustained through the collaborative resources and time from over 20 community partner organizations. HOST does not employ anyone, as it is not an entity, but a strategic partnership. As such, participating organizations with HOST independently cover the cost of salaries for the individuals serving on the HOST Steering Committee and the collaborative networks. HOST will continue to operate even if not awarded this grant, however, this funding will allow HOST to provide the financial assistance aspect to those in need. 94 QUESTIONS? PLEASE CONTACT KARIN SEVDE AT KSEVDE@STORYCOUNTYFOUNDATION.ORG 9 9 Have you applied for grant funding from another source for the same project? Please notify us if this project receives additional funding from another source after you submit this application. HOST has applied twice for the IFA Homelessness Incubator grant program but has not yet been awarded. HOST continues to look for other funding sources, hence applying for this Community Betterment grant from the Story County Community Foundation. Furthermore, as mentioned above, HOST intends to make a funding request to the City of Ames, Mary Greeley Medical Center, and Story County yet this calendar year, in addition to raising private donation dollars, and cultivating in-kind support from community volunteers.

Story County Diversion, housed within the Story County Attorney’s Office, has had the opportunity to work alongside HOST and see firsthand how the ir outreach and connections to service providers make a meaningful difference for individuals experiencing homelessness. There have been several occasions when HOST has been working with an individual struggling with alcohol or substance use, and, when our schedule allows, we have been able to respond if the individual is willing to accept assistance. At times, we have taken someone directly to treatment. Other times, we have simply provided our contact information and helped them understand that support is available. HOST has helped bridge the gap between individuals in need and the providers who can assist them. There have also been a couple of instances where HOST connected us with individuals who were seeking help, and we later learned they had an existing charge. Through that connection, the County Attorney’s Office was able to intervene and offer Story County Diversion as a post-arrest option. This created an opportunity for the individual to address their substance use and work toward having their charge dismissed by completing the program requirements, including obtaining treatment. These situations are a gre at example of how HOST, Story County Diversion, and the County Attorney’s Office can work together to address both an individual’s immediate needs and the circumstances that may be contributing to their involvement with the justice system. One thing that stands out to me is the trust HOST has built with the individuals they serve. When we ask if we can discuss someone’s situation during our weekly Friday HOST meeting, they often immediately know what we are referring to and are more than comfortable with us sharing their information so we can better understand their needs and work together to help. That speaks volumes about the relationships HOST has built, both with providers and with the individuals they serve. I believe our community is more connected and collaborative today than it was five years ago, and HOST has played a significant role in that progress. We have seen success stories come from these efforts, including individuals connected to treatment, housing, and other supportive services. We recently had the opportunity to share some of those stories during our Friday meeting, and they serve as a reminder of why this work matters. 99 I truly believe our community is in a better position because of HOST. Their work has strengthened our network of support and created opportunities for individuals that may not otherwise exist. Story County Diversion is grateful for the opportunity to work alongside HOST, and we are proud to support their continued work.

The Story County Attorney’s Alternatives Arrest Diversion Program has had the opportunity to work alongside HOST and see firsthand how their outreach and connections to service providers make a meaningful difference for individuals experiencing homelessness. On numerous occasions, HOST has facilitated warm handoffs to our program when substance use emerged as a barrier and the individual was open to receiving help. In some cases, this has meant taking someone directly to treatment; in others, our role was simply to provide contact information and help them understand that support is available. In every instance, HOST plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between individuals in need and the providers who can assist them. There have also been situations where HOST connected us with individuals seeking help, and we later discovered they had an existing criminal charge. Because of that referral, we were able to alert the prosecuting attorney of their situation early in the legal process resulting in a post-arrest diversion option. This created an opportunity for the individual to address substance use while working toward dismissal of their charge through successful completion of program requirements, including obtaining treatment. These examples highlight how HOST, Alternatives Arrest Diversion and prosecution can work together to meet immediate needs while also addressing underlying challenges contributing to justice system involvement. I firmly believe our community is stronger because of HOST. Their efforts have expanded our network of support and created opportunities for individuals that may not otherwise exist. The Alternatives program is grateful for the chance to work alongside HOST, and we are proud to support their ongoing work.

Box 811 515.239.5355 fax Ames, IA 50010 www.CityOfAmes.org September 24, 2026 Dear Story County Community Foundation: I am writing to express support for the Homeless Outreach and Support Team (HOST) and its efforts to assist individuals and families experiencing homelessness or housing instability in the Ames and Story County community. Homelessness is a complex issue that requires a coordinated community response. HOST plays an important role in connecting individuals experiencing homelessness with the resources, services, and support they need to move toward stable housing and improved quality of life. By meeting people where they are and helping connect them with appropriate services, HOST provides an important connection between individuals in need and the broader network of community resources available in Story County. City of Ames Parks and Recreation staff encounter individuals daily within the park system that are experiencing homelessness. I have personally witnessed the expertise and care taken by the HOST team to ensure individuals are treated with the utmost respect. It’s amazing to have a team of individuals so devoted to solving an issue that affects so many people. We all recognize that effective solutions to homelessness require collaboration with many groups. HOST is an effective and crucial part of the collaboration effort. I am pleased to provide this letter of support for HOST and its efforts to continue providing outreach and support to individuals experiencing homelessness in the Ames area. Thank you for considering support for the Homeless Outreach and Support Team (HOST) Sincerely, Joshua Thompson, Parks and Facilities Superintendent City of Ames Parks and Recreation 102 103 September 17, 2026 Grant Committee Story County Community Foundation P.O. Box 1666 Ames, Iowa 50010 Story County Community Foundation: I am writing in support of the grant application from HOST - the Ames Homeless Outreach Support Team - for resources to fund programming, services and education as part of their mission of helping the unhoused and marginalized in our community. Overflow has been privileged to support HOST since its inception. The unique, collaborative structure of HOST brings together 25+ partners in Story County to provide a team-based approach to case management for this population in need. HOST and its partners provide a superior level of care for these individuals because they focus on developing strong relationships and offering a comprehensive, coordinated set of services. In a very short time, HOST has developed a high level of credibility and trust among the homeless community and with its many partner organizations. A grant from Story County Community Foundation will help HOST extend their reach in our community through community education on poverty/homelessness and Mental Health First Aid trainings. They will also be able to provide additional and much-needed practical care to the population need in the form of bus tickets, furniture and household items for individuals moving into permanent housing, prescription medicine, employment support, and clothing and hygiene products. Overflow is pleased to be part of the network of care created by HOST in Story County. I urge the Foundation to support their continued work on behalf of our friends and neighbors in this community. Please contact me at director@overflowthriftstore.org with any questions. Sincerely, Sandra M S wanson Sandra M. Swanson Managing Director 104 September 14, 2026 To Whom It May Concern: On behalf of Ames Romero House, I am pleased to offer our strong support for the Homeless Outreach Support Team (HOST) and its grant application. HOST has become an essential partner in our shared mission to serve individuals experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges, substance use disorders, extreme poverty, and other difficult circumstances in Ames and Story County. At Ames Romero House, our mission has never been merely to provide meals, showers, laundry, and other basic necessities. We exist to accompany our neighbors through some of the most difficult moments of their lives, walking beside them with compassion, dignity, and hope. That journey begins with trust. Trust is built through everyday acts of radical hospitality and also grows through strong community partnerships. No single organization can meet every need our neighbors face. HOST understands this reality and has developed an innovative, collaborative outreach model that partners with numerous community agencies and professionals to connect individuals with the resources best suited to their unique circumstances. Our guests see HOST's impact firsthand. Every Thursday, HOST visits Ames Romero House, where our guests rely on our team to help them navigate challenging days and complex situations. HOST meets people where they are, listens to their needs, builds relationships, and partners with numerous agencies to identify the best-fit resources and next steps for each individual. HOST’s work extends far beyond our home. Its outreach reaches individuals at encampments, the Ames Public Library, on the streets, and throughout the community. Through collaboration with organizations and professionals, including the Ames Police Department, ARCH, Mary Greeley Medical Center, The Salvation Army, and many others, HOST helps provide crisis intervention, mental health and substance use resources, housing connections, and access to essential services. Each Friday, HOST also convenes more than twenty local organizations to coordinate care for individuals experiencing homelessness and other complex challenges. This 105 collaborative approach reduces duplication, improves communication, and ensures that people connect with the organizations best equipped to assist them. Our partnership with HOST also strengthens the Ames Warming Place, Story County’s overnight emergency shelter for extreme winter weather. Ames Romero House and HOST were instrumental in establishing this important community resource and remain committed to ensuring our neighbors have a safe place to turn in times of crisis. HOST exemplifies what effective community outreach should be: relationships, collaboration, trust, and action. Ames Romero House strongly supports HOST and respectfully encourages you to consider this grant request favorably. Investing in HOST is an investment in a stronger continuum of care for some of the most vulnerable members of our community. Sincerely, David Thielen Executive Director Ames Romero House 702 Clark Avenue Ames, Iowa 50010 515-337-8088 director@amesromerohouse.org 106 To Whom It May Concern: I am pleased to offer my strong support for the Homeless Outreach Support Team (HOST) and its application for grant funding to expand community education, mental health training, and direct support for individuals experiencing homelessness and housing inst ability in Story County. Through my role as Director of Behavioral Health Services at Mary Greeley Medical Center, I see firsthand the complex challenges faced by individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty. Housing instability is rarely an isolated issue. It often intersect s with mental health needs, substance use, transportation barriers, limited access to communication, food insecurity, healthcare needs, and difficulty navigating health and social service systems. One of the greatest strengths of HOST is the collaboration it creates among community organizations. HOST brings together entities from across our community, each contributing their own expertise, resources, and perspective to support individuals in need. Rather than organizations working independently or addressing only one piece of a person's situation, HOST provides an opportunity for partners to work collectively around the needs of each individual. This collaboration allows the team to look at the whole person. When someone is struggling with homelessness, the goal is not simply to identify a place for that individual to sleep. The team considers what else may be preventing that person from achieving stability—transportation, physical and mental healthcare, substance use treatment, identification documents, communication, benefits, employment, food, safety, or basic household necessities. Community partners work together to identify gaps, coordinate available re sources, and determine how each organization can contribute. The shared goal is to ensure that, as much as possible, all of the individual's needs are addressed rather than expecting that person to navigate multiple complicated systems alone. The proposed funding would allow HOST to strengthen this work in several important areas. Funding for a community poverty and homelessness simulation would provide participants with a greater understanding of the difficult choices and systemic barriers fac ed by individuals and families living in poverty or without stable housing. This type of education can build empathy, improve collaboration, and help our community develop more informed and effective responses. HOST is also seeking support to provide quarterly Mental Health First Aid training. Expanding Mental Health First Aid within our community will give more individuals the skills and confidence to recognize signs of mental health or substance use concerns, r espond appropriately, and connect people with available resources. Just as importantly, grant funding would support the practical needs HOST encounters every day while working directly with vulnerable individuals. Assistance such as bus tickets, phones and phone cards, and basic household items can seem small, but these r esources often make the difference between someone being able to attend an appointment, communicate with a 107 housing provider, access services, move successfully into housing, or maintain stability once housed. HOST represents what a strong community response should look like: organizations working across traditional boundaries, sharing responsibility, and bringing their collective resources together around the needs of the individual. No single organization can address homelessness, poverty, mental health, healthcare, transportation, housing, and other social needs alone. HOST provides a structure for our community to address these challenges together. I strongly support HOST's request for funding. This investment will not only provide tangible assistance to individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty, but will also strengthen the network of organizations and community members working together to s upport them. Ultimately, strengthening HOST strengthens our community's ability to ensure that people in need are seen, supported, connected, and given the best possible opportunity to achieve stability. Thank you for your consideration of this request and for your investment in the health, stability, and well-being of our community.

O n June 9, 2026, City Council authorized staff to apply to the Iowa DNR's Solid Waste Alternatives Program (SWAP). The application included a request for funding to support the construction of the new Resource Recovery and Recycling Campus (R3C). The DNR recently notified staff that the City was selected for $24,999 in SWAP funding structured as a forgivable loan. This award is in addition to the award for the yard waste area approved by City Council on September 9, 2026. The DNR has provided an agreement for this grant, which the City's Legal team has reviewed and approved (see attachment). Staff is seeking City Council approval to accept the funding and to sign the attached agreement. The grant funding will support the purchase of materials and equipment that contribute to waste diversion from the landfill, in alignment with the SWAP program goals. This includes concrete necessary for the customer convenience center at the R3C, which will be utilized by the public to drop off recyclable materials. The total R3C customer convenience center concrete costs are $175,000. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the SWAP grant agreement with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources for the R3C Customer Convenience Center in the amount of $24,999. 2. Do not approve the SWAP grant agreement, and forego the supplemental funding for this component of the R3C project. 3. Refer this item to staff for further information. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Grant funding provided by the Iowa DNR would financially support the construction of the R3C, specifically the concrete costs for the customer convenience center. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above. 110 ATTACHMENT(S): 12 Ames - Customer Convenience Center Concrete.pdf 111 SOLID WASTE ALTERNATIVES PROGRAM AGREEMENT NUMBER – 27-G550-12FL Between IOWA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES And CITY OF AMES IN WITNESS THEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement.

This system is the main software driving the Distributed Control System (DCS). The system is crucial for continued reliability and maintainability because it controls almost all the equipment throughout the Power Plant. Emerson Process Management Power & Water Solutions, Inc. (Emerson) is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of this control system and has held this service contract for the past 10 years. Emerson has proposed a three-year contract for its SureService software support which includes: Expert telephone support for the Ovation system – With thorough knowledge of the Ovation system and troubleshooting skills, the SureService support works with Power Plant staff to gather relevant information to correctly identify problems and diagnose situations. They can troubleshoot and determine solutions without interfering with plant operations. After the problem is isolated, the SureService team will suggest corrective action to resolve the situation. Ovation Guardian Support – This enables the plant staff to view system-specific data from multiple sources, which can then be analyzed and used to plan future expenditures and improve decision making. Software updates with antivirus program – The plant receives the latest tested and approved protective software to guard against viruses, cyber-attacks, and other unwanted intrusions. These support services offer several additional benefits, including maintaining efficiency, reducing the Power Plant’s operating costs, and providing critical control system support. Emerson is the most practical and cost-effective vendor to continue providing this needed s ervice. Staff is requesting that the City Council waive the City’s purchasing policies requirement for formal competitive bids and award a three-year contract to Emerson Process Management Power & Water Solutions, Inc., Tinley Park, IL in the amount of $118,096. Emerson is the OEM of the Power Plant controls software, and the proposed pricing is in line with the existing contract amounts. 130 Emerson has proposed a fixed pricing structure for the entire three-year contract period. The pricing is structured as follows, for a total three-year cost of $118,096 : Year Amount 1 $ 36,078 2 $ 40,288 3 $ 41,730 The City Council is being asked to approve a three-year agreement, rather than a one- year contract with renewal options. It should be noted that this contract includes a reduced rate of 5% off list price since the agreement is for three years. The agreement contains a non-appropriation clause that allows the City to cancel if funds are not appropriated in future City budgets. The FY 2026/27 operating budget includes $40,000 for Support Services. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Waive the City’s purchasing policy requirement for formal bidding procedures and award a three-year contract to Emerson Process Management Power & Water Solutions, Inc., Tinley Park, IL, for the Emerson SureService Contract for the Power Plant in the amount of $118,097. 2. Do not approve the three-year SureService contract and adopt a “pay as you go” approach for these needed services . CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The support to this system is critical for continued reliability and maintainability because it controls almost all of the equipment throughout the Power Plant . In addition, the award of a three-year contract provides Ames with the benefit of fixed pricing, additional savings off of list price, continuity of service, and reduced administrative burden. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1 as stated above. 131 ITEM #:22 DATE:10-13-26 DEPT:PW SUBJECT:LINCOLN WAY (GRAND AVE TO UNIVERSITY BLVD) CORRIDOR STUDY - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: On September 22, 2026, City Council directed staff to immediately begin a study of the Lincoln Way corridor from Grand Avenue to University Boulevard concurrently with the ongoing study of Lincoln Way from Duff Avenue to Grand Avenue. The staff report from that meeting, which includes additional background on both studies, is available here. On June 23, 2026, City Council approved a professional services agreement with Foth Infrastructure & Environment, LLC, for the ongoing study of Lincoln Way from Duff Avenue to Grand Avenue in the amount of $125,000. The Council Action Form from that action is available here. Since the ongoing study uses federal funding through the Ames Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (AAMPO), a qualifications-based selection process consistent with federal, state, and local procurement requirements was used to select the consultant. Six consultants submitted proposals, and Foth was ranked first and selected. Because the ongoing study was identified in the AAMPO Ames Connect 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan and is programmed in the AAMPO FY 2027 Transportation Planning Work Program for the use of federal funds, the study limits are fixed. Changing them would require approval from the AAMPO Policy Committee and the Iowa DOT, with no guarantee of approval. To begin the new study quickly and maximize coordination with the ongoing study, staff believes that a separate, locally funded agreement with Foth would be the most effective approach. Using the same firm allows shared tasks to be performed once and avoids the time and cost of a new selection process. This approach requires Council to waive the City’s Purchasing Policy requirement for competitive proposals. The City's Purchasing staff has confirmed that this approach is appropriate. PROJECT SCOPE AND BUDGET: Staff worked with Foth to develop a scope and professional services agreement for the new s t u d y. The agreement is attached, and key elements of the scope are summarized below: Study area: Approximately 0.7 miles of Lincoln Way from Grand Avenue to University Boulevard, including seven intersections: University Boulevard, Riverside Drive, Russell Avenue, Hazel Avenue, Maple Avenue, Oak Avenue, and Elm Avenue. 132 Data collection: Existing City, AAMPO, and Iowa DOT data, plus new video counts of vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists at Riverside Drive, Russell Avenue, Maple Avenue, and Oak Avenue. Safety analysis: Review of five years of crash data, including a detailed review of crashes involving pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vulnerable road users, and an evaluation of proven federal safety countermeasures. Speed study: Determination of the appropriate speed limit using national guidance, and exploration of speed control measures, if needed. Lighting analysis: Evaluation of existing street lighting against current standards, with potential upgrades developed in coordination with the Public Works and Electric Services Departments. This task responds directly to the City Council's June 23, 2026, motion requesting that staff investigate lighting improvements along this portion of the corridor. Traffic modeling and forecasting: Analysis of traffic operations for existing (2026) and future (2035 and 2050) conditions, along with a simulation of travel times from University Boulevard to Grand Avenue. Alternatives evaluation: Comparison of the existing roadway layout with potential options. Walking, biking, and transit review: Review of all pedestrian crossings for safety and accessibility, sidewalk and bicycle connections guided by Walk Bike Roll Ames, and coordination with CyRide on transit stops and ridership. Public engagement: A project website shared with the ongoing study, one online survey on the design alternatives, and one presentation of the study results to the Mayor and City Council. Conceptual design and deliverables: Conceptual design of three alternatives, including potential right-of-way needs and planning-level cost estimates, documented in a study report document and concept plans. Coordination with the adjacent study: The agreement requires that shared tasks be performed once, with costs split between the two projects, and that recommendations for both studies be reconciled so that the preferred alternatives could be constructed as one continuous corridor. Foth's proposed fee for this scope is $116,500. Staff finds this fee reasonable and consistent with the $125,000 fee for the ongoing study. Although funding for this study is not currently programmed in the Capital Improvements Plan, staff has identified $116,500 in available Road Use Tax revenue from the Accessibility Enhancements Program, which currently has an unobligated balance of $216,385. This would leave $99,885 for other accessibility improvements. 133 The table below summarizes the revenues and expenses proposed for the project: Revenues Amount Expenses Amount Accessibility Enhancements Program Available Balance (Road Use Tax Funding) $116,500 (from $216,385 unobligated balance) Lincoln Way Study (Grand Ave - University Blvd) Consultant Fee $116,500 If the agreement is approved, work would begin immediately, with completion anticipated in fall 2027. Staff will align the schedules of the two studies so that recommendations for the full corridor can be presented to Council together. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Waive the City's Purchasing Policy requirement for competitive proposals and approve a Professional Services Agreement with Foth Infrastructure & Environment, LLC, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for the Lincoln Way (Grand Avenue to University Boulevard) Corridor Study in an amount not to exceed $116,500. 2. Request modifications to the professional services agreement and direct staff to bring an updated agreement back to Council for consideration at a future date. 3. Direct staff to select a consultant for this study through the City's competitive proposal process. This would delay the start of the study by approximately three months and significantly reduce coordination with the ongoing study. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: On September 22, 2026, City Council directed staff to immediately begin a study of Lincoln Way from Grand Avenue to University Boulevard concurrently with the ongoing Duff Avenue to Grand Avenue study. The proposed agreement utilizes the same consultant conducting the adjacent study along Lincoln Way. The use of shared tasks and recommendations across both studies will allow for a more coordinated recommendations so that any improvements could be constructed as a continuous corridor. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1.

Project Background The project consists of a traffic study and conceptual design of Lincoln Way from University Boulevard to Grand Avenue, approximately 0.7 miles. The Consultant will complete a traffic study that includes traffic model development, traffic forecasting, capacity and operational analyses, safety analysis, multimodal review, and recommended improvements. The Consultant will assist with public outreach by developing a website for gathering public input and conducting an online survey. Based on the results of the study, the Consultant will develop conceptual layouts for the corridor for up to three design alternatives along with planning level cost estimates of the improvements. Finally, the results of the study and preferred alternative will be presented to City Council. Services include project coordination activities, traffic engineering services, and conceptual roadway design, as further detailed within this scope of services.

Coordination with Adjacent Corridor Study This Project will be performed concurrently with, and is immediately adjacent to, the Lincoln Way Corridor Study from Grand Avenue to Duff Avenue (FOTH Project No. 26A013.00). The Consultant shall coordinate the two studies so that shared tasks are performed once and charged between the two projects as appropriate. Examples of tasks that may be shared include project management, project coordination, and the meeting with the Mayor and City Council.

EMD is a critical public safety function that utilizes established medical protocols to ensure the appropriate emergency resources are dispatched and to provide life-saving pre-arrival instructions to callers and bystanders until first responders arrive on scene. To provide these services, dispatch personnel use the ProQA software platform developed by Priority Dispatch. ProQA incorporates the internationally recognized protocols of the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch (IAED) and guides dispatchers through a structured series of questions and instructions tailored to the caller's emergency. This process helps ensure a consistent, timely, and effective response to medical emergencies. In addition to call-processing software, Priority Dispatch provides a Quality Performance Review (QPR) program that evaluates EMD and Fire Dispatch calls for compliance with IAED standards. The review process provides ongoing quality assurance, identifies training opportunities, and helps ensure the Communications Center maintains a high level of service consistent with internationally recognized best practices. The Police Department has utilized the Priority Dispatch system and quality assurance services since 2010. In 2021, the City entered into a five-year agreement for these services, and that agreement is scheduled to expire. Staff wishes to continue using the service through a new five-year agreement with Priority Dispatch. Under the proposed agreement, the annual cost will remain fixed at $37,752 for each of the next five years, resulting in a total contract value of $188,760. The FY 2026/27 budget includes funds to meet this first year obligation. The agreement includes a provision allowing either party to terminate the contract, with or without cause, by providing 60 days written notice. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve a five-year agreement with Priority Dispatch for Quality Performance Review services at a fixed annual cost of $37,752. 2. Do not approve the proposed agreement with Priority Dispatch. 149 CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: ProQA provides the protocols for the City's Emergency Medical Dispatch. The service has been used by the City for many years and staff is satisfied with the outcomes that result from its use. A new five-year agreement has been prepared to continue the service. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1 as described above.

Page 2 of 2 158 ITEM #:24 DATE:10-13-26 DEPT:ADMIN SUBJECT:COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN AMES HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION AND IOWA OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: The City, on behalf of the Ames Human Relations Commission (AHRC), has regularly contracted with the Iowa Office of Civil Rights (IOCR) to manage the intake and resolution of civil rights complaints. Under this agreement, IOCR pays the City a set amount for each complaint form sent to the IOCR (see agreement attached). The agreement allows the City to use these resources to assist complainants with obtaining and filling out complaint forms and ensuring they are complete and valid. In FY 2025/26, staff assisted in completing two discrimination complaints. The City received a total of $500 for assisting with completing these two discrimination complaints and sending them to the IOCR for investigation. IOCR has presented a new agreement for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. Due to the short turnaround time set by the IOCR to sign the agreement, the City requested and received an extension for additional time for Council to review this agreement and to make a decision at this meeting. The AHRC has reviewed this agreement and recommends City Council approval. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the cooperative agreement between the Ames Human Relations Commission and Iowa Office of Civil Rights. 2. Do not approve the agreement. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: This agreement outlines that IOCR will investigate and resolve civil rights discrimination complaints. Additionally, IOCR will compensate the City for acting as the intake agent under this agreement. The City, AHRC, and IOCR have maintained this arrangement for several years. Transferring this time-consuming investigation responsibility to the IOCR will allow the AHRC to focus on connecting and supporting all communities in Ames . Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above. 159 ATTACHMENT(S): Cooperative Agreement DRAFT 26-27.pdf FY 27 Letter from Director Stiffler.docx.pdf 160 COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT Between _____ & IOWA OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS 1. Definitions: As used in this Cooperative Ag reement the following ter ms are defined as follows: a) “IOCR” means the Iowa Office of Civil Rights. b) “Local agency” means the _____ and must comply with the requirements of Iowa Code §216.19. c) “Fiscal Year 2027” r uns from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027. d) “Initial Filing Date” means the local agency file-stamp receipt date shown on the complaint. All complaints must show a local file-stamp receipt date or some other marker which clearly indicates the date that the complaint was received by the local commission. Credit will be rejected for complaints without a date stamp or some other marker indicating the complaint receipt date. e) “Intake” means receipt by the IOCR of a completed, signed, jurisdictional complaint for m in any area covered by the ICRA, that is forwarded by the local agency to the IOCR for processing and investigation. f) “Resolutions” means case closures resulting in final local agency action, including administrative closures; conciliated and settled cases; satisfactor y adjustments; no probable cause deter minations, and closures after public hearing. 2. Authority: In order to effectuate the purposes of the “Iowa Civil Rights Act,” (ICRA) the IOCR now enters into a Cooperative Agreement with the ______. Iowa Code §216.19. 3. Scope: Under this Cooperative Ag reement, IOCR contracts with the _____ for the satisfactor y intake and resolution of complaints whose allegations fall within the prohibitions of Iowa Code §§ 216.6, 216.6A, 216.7, 216.8, 216.8A, 216.8B, 216.8C, 216.9, 216.10, 216.11, and 216.11A. This Cooperative Agreement does not cover complaints that address allegations outside of these sections of the Iowa Code. 4. Timeliness: This contract recognizes the 300-day filing period for initial complaints, as set forth in Iowa Code Ch. 216, is deter mined by the day the complaint is recei ved by the IOCR, NOT the day received by the local commission. Therefore, local commissions are responsible for ensuring that cases are received by the IOCR within 300 days of the date of the last incident of discrimination in order to preser ve the Complainant’s rights DRA F T 161 under the ICRA. There should be no expectation of reimbursement for complaints received by the IOCR after the 300-day filing period. 5. Jurisdiction: Any and all complaints submitted for credit and payment must be a jurisdictional complaint under the Iowa Civil Rights Act. 6. Transmittal: Submissions for credit must be made via email to icrc@iowa.g ov, unless another transmittal option is approved by the Executive Director of the IOCR or designee. 7. Period: This Cooperative Ag reement will run during Fiscal Year 2027. There is no commitment on the part of IOCR to contract with the _______ for the resolution of complaints after June 30, 2027. 8. Total Amount: The IOCR shall not spend more than $30,000 as ag gregate compensation to all contracting local commissions for work perfor med under cooperative agreements for Fiscal Year 2027. If insufficient funds exist for payment of all cases tendered for payment by the contracting local agencies, payment shall be allocated on a first-come, first-ser ved basis. 9. Payment Date: IOCR agrees to provide payment on an annual basis based upon satisfaction of the conditions established in this agreement. Payment will be provided for work perfor med and accepted under this Ag reement by the IOCR, and for cases cross-filed with the EEOC or HUD, when credit has been approved by that funding agency (IOCR, EEOC, or HUD). In the case of payment for intake ser vices, IOCR accepts the work if/when IOCR opens the complaint file corresponding to the intake. Payment is conditioned upon execution of this contract which must be accomplished and returned to the IOCR no later than 9/30/26. Ag reements presented after that date will be rejected by the IOCR absent approval for late submission by the Executive Director of the IOCR, or designee. 10. Payment Schedule***: (a) Intakes: See attached Schedule A for breakdown of reimbursement rates based on the timing of receipt of the complaint for housing and non-housing referrals to the IOCR. (b) Resolutions: See Schedule A (attached) for definitions and rate of payment based on timing of receipt of the complaint closure documentation. 11. Maintenance of Effor t: Iowa Code §216.19(2) provides that a city with a population of 29,000 or greater may maintain an independent local civil/human rights agency, shall str ucture and adequately fund the local human/civil rights agency in order to effect cooperative undertakings with IOCR and to aid in effectuating the purposes of the “Iowa Civil Rights Act,” and when staff is provided, the local agency or commission shall have Page 2 of 7 DRA F T 162 control over such staff. The IOCR reser ves the right to deny payment for closures which appear to have been adversely affected by a failure to comply with this code section or any other reasonable indication of lack of independence or neutrality by the local agency in its investigation of the complaint, and such may ser ve as grounds justifying ter mination of this agreement. 12. Infor mation Sharing: The filing of a complaint or confidential infor mation pertaining to a complaint covered by this agreement may be shared between the parties to this agreement as part of the routine investigation of such complaints, to administer the prog ram for which the infor mation is collected. 13. Confidentiality: Pursuant to Iowa Code Section 216.15(5), the ______ agrees not to disclose the filing of a complaint or confidential infor mation pertaining to a complaint covered by this agreement until the complaint has been officially set for public hearing. Once a complaint has been officially set for public hearing, the ______ agrees not to disclose confidential infor mation pertaining to the complaint that is not publicly available, except as allowed by IOCR’s r ules. 14. Repor ts: The local agency agrees to submit the annual report provided within the invoice template, listing each intake and resolution submitted for contract credit or payment under this Agreement. The annual report is due July 3, 2027, for July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2027 activity. Payments under this contract will be made after the annual report is completed, submitted to the IOCR, and verified to meet the conditions described above. Failure to provide the annual report may result in forfeiture of funds for the contract year. As a condition of final payment, the local commission must submit, and IOCR must have received, all complaints no later than June 30, 2027. Cases submitted after June 30, 2027, will not be paid. 15. Training: IOCR and the local agency will cooperate in planning, sponsoring, and conducting necessar y complaint processing training for staff and commissioners. If required by your local protocol, ordinance or practice, separate signature lines have been provided for your Mayor and Commission Chair.

GOVERNOR September 11, 2026 Re: FY 2027 Cooperative Agreement Proposals Dear Director/Chair Person: Enclosed please find the FY2027 cooperative agreement. While it is largely comparable to last year’s contract, there are two additions that I would like to highlight: ● For agencies that will be requesting refer ral and/or resolution credit, it is now required to use a date file stamp or some other marker to clearly indicate the date the complaint was received by the local commission (Cooperative Agreement, §1(d)). ● Updated language has been added to the contract regarding electronic signatures, reflecting the current standards on the federal level (Cooperative Agreement/Infor mation, Further Requirements, General, (2)). ● Clarification regarding requesting credit for complaints transferred to the IOCR for investigation (Cooperative Agreement/Infor mation, Further Requirements, General, (3)). If your agency intends to sign a workshare agreement, we must receive the signed agreement no later than October 1, 2026. This October deadline should allow sufficient time for your agency to coordinate and collect the appropriate signatures as required by your local ordinances or city government. Please contact the office if your city needs additional time to execute the workshare agreement, and my office will review on a case-by-case basis. I hope you will consider taking advantage of this program.Those local commissions with direct agreements with the EEOC and/or HUD will not be eligible for payment by the IOCR if payment is also received by the EEOC or HUD. Please do not hesitate to contact my office if you have any questions. Yours ver y tr uly, /s/ Kristen Stiffler Kristen Stiffler Executive Director Iowa Office of Civil Rights 6200 Park Avenue, Suite 100 Des Moines, IA 50321 kristen.stiff ler@iowa.gov 6200 Park Avenue, Suite 100, Des Moines, Iowa 50321-1270 515-281-4121 / 1-800-457-4416 / Fax 515-242-5840 168 ITEM #:25 DATE:10-13-26 DEPT:W&PC SUBJECT:THIRD LIME SLAKER AT WATER TREATMENT PLANT PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR DESIGN COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: The Ames Water Treatment Plant uses pebble lime in the treatment process to soften the water. The lime is mixed with water in lime slakers. The original design of the facility included three lime slakers. The middle slaker was intended to provide important redundancy, as it could accept pebble lime from either of the two overhead lime storage bins, and would be able to discharge to either of the two lime slurry aging tanks on the ground floor below. When the estimated construction costs for the new plant exceeded the planned budget, staff worked with the consultants to identify elements that could be delayed without adversely affecting the immediate operation of the new plant. The third slaker was one of the deferred elements. The batch lime slaking system uses proprietary equipment provided by RDP Technologies, Inc. The system is unique in that it can be highly automated, which was seen as desirable following the labor intensive nature of the paste slakers used at the old plant. Ames was one of the first large installations of the RDP batch slakers, and the manufacturer continues to use Ames in its marketing efforts due in large part to staff's satisfaction with its performance. Because of the nature of the slaking operation it would be nearly impossible to incorporate a new slaker from a different manufacturer into the existing operation. The City's Purchasing Policies include provisions for "single source negotiations" when there is only one practical source for the goods or service to be procured. For the design services of the new slaker, staff is utilizing that single source provision and recommending that the design be performed by Strand Associates. The original design for the Water Plant was performed by FOX Engineering, which subsequently merged with Strand. The original engineer is still with Strand, allowing better continuity with the original design concepts and intent. Additionally, Strand has the original design files and drawings that includes the original preliminary design of the middle slaker, greatly reducing the cost compared to having a different consultant start over with new drawings. Strand has provided a proposal to perform the design of the new slaker. For this project, staff will be recommending that the third slaker be provided by RDP through a negotiated procurement. This approach provides a significant reduction in the design labor required since the design can be based on a single piece of equipment, as opposed to needing to accommodate multiple manufacturers. 169 Strand will be working directly with RDP to finalize the details of the new equipment and preparing specifications for the installation of the equipment and the electrical, plumbing, compressed air, and mechanical connections. They will also assist City staff by preparing a controls description so that staff can integrate the new slaker into the SCADA system. They will also be coordinating with the Iowa DNR on all required design reviews and construction permits. The design work is expected to take roughly four months. The project is budgeted as carryover funds from the FY 2025/26 budget (Water Plant Facility Improvements Project) in the amount of $873,000. The budget included an allowance for engineering of $84,000. The proposal from Strand for design is $69,900. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the use of a single source negotiation for engineering services and approve the professional services agreement with Strand Associates for the addition of a third lime slaker at the Ames Water Plant in the lump sum amount of $69,900. 2. Do not approve the use of single source negotiation for engineering services and direct staff to utilize a formal Request for Proposals from additional engineering firms. 3. Take no action on the project at this time. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City's adopted Purchasing Policies and Procedures includes a provision for negotiating with a vendor "...when there is only one practical source for the equipment, material, or servic e." In this case, Strand was the original engineer for the existing equipment and has all of the drawings and models for the Ames Water Plant. The Purchasing Department has approved the use of a single source procurement. The negotiated scope of work and contract language has been reviewed and is acceptable. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #1 above.

The agreement is required in order for the site to meet the minimum required number of parking spaces prescribed by the Zoning Ordinance for the proposed use. Friendship Ark and Overflow Thrift Store (4723 Lincoln Way) recently acquired the properties that were previously occupied by JAX. JAX occupied both the buildings at 4803 and 4723 Lincoln Way and parking was shared between the sites. As the buildings and properties now have separate owners and have changed use, the remote parking agreement is necessary. Ames Municipal Code Section 29.406(18) allows for remote parking to satisfy required parking, subject to City Council approval within certain zoning districts, including Highway Oriented Commercial (HOC) which applies to the subject properties. An agreement or easement is required to ensure that the proposed location is permanently available. The parking spaces must be located on a lot within 300 feet of the subject property. The Friendship Ark property (4803 Lincoln Way) has nine parking spaces and requires 34 total spaces. The Overflow property (4723 Lincoln Way) has 62 spaces and requires 29, leaving a surplus of 33. Friendship Ark will use 25 of the surplus spaces and they will be reserved through the agreement applying to the Overflow property. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the Remote Parking Agreement to provide the required 25 parking spaces at 4723 Lincoln Way for Friendship Ark's office space at 4803 Lincoln Way. (Signed agreement must be provided by Oct. 13th) 2. Deny the Remote Parking Agreement to provide the required 25 parking spaces at 4723 Lincoln Way for Friendship Ark's office space at 4803 Lincoln Way. 3. Refer this item to staff or the applicant for further information. 223 CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The sites meet all zoning and distance requirements to allow for remote parking. The applicant has signed the Remote Parking Agreement that specifies the location of the spaces, number of spaces, and the terms of the agreement. The agreement has been approved by the City's Legal Department. Friendship Ark is required to provide executed copies prior to Council action. If the remote parking is approved by City Council, Friendship Ark may receive occupancy for their new space . Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve Alternative No. 1, as described above.

These transformers are kept on hand in order to ensure availability, which will enable staff to replace failed transformers quickly. They are also necessary to meet the anticipated needs of the Electric Services Department for new services and maintenance activities. Typically, these transformers are used to provide service for commercial and residential applications. Lead times have become a challenge for many vendors of critical electric inventory components due to supply chain issues. To address the Electric Department's future need for transformers, staff issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a one-time purchase of specific transformers, separated into two equipment groupings: single-phase pad-mounted transformers and three-phase pad-mounted transformers. On September 18, 2026, an RFQ document was posted to Ames Bids, the electronic bidding site. Bids were received on September 29, 2026. The bids are shown in the table below. The table reviews the bids in two ways: 1) The "Response Total Cost" column is based on the unit cost of the transformers as bid by the supplier; 2) The "Evaluation Cost" reflects the unit cost of the transformers plus an "energy loss" component that considers losses in the transformer under no-loss and low-loss operation. Transformers that are less efficient under this evaluation are shown as costing more in this "Evaluation Cost" column.

For the Single-Phase Transformer Group, Border States was the lowest responsible, responsive bidder (for both the Response Total Cost and Evaluation Cost) to offer transformers that met all specifications. WESCO Distribution was the lowest bidder on Bid Line 2, however, the bid was found to be non-responsive, as the manufacturer is not approved. For the Three-Phase Transformer Group, RESCO was the lowest responsible, responsive bidder (for Evaluation Cost) to offer transformers that met all specifications. RESCO was also the bidder for Response Total Cost on Bid Lines 4 and 5. WESCO Distribution was the lowest bidder for Response Total Cost on Line 6, however RESCO had the lowest Evaluation Cost. 234 Of note, Border States included an "Order Note from Cooper Power" in its bid: "All prices here represent those in effect at time of quotation and are subject to change at a minimum of 30 days prior to shipment." Staff does not anticipate that the potential for price adjustment would be significant enough to warrant awarding the bid to the next lowest-cost vendor, which also has a Price Adjustment Clause. The price adjustments will be handled by a change order to the contract at the time the order is placed in accordance with the City's Purchasing Policies. This contract will be funded from the Underground System Improvements/Transformers account in the adopted FY 2026/27 budget. The available budgeted amount is $400,000. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Award the following contracts for the purchase of inventory for Electric Services; Payments will be based on unit prices and quantities ordered, inclusive of all applicable sales taxes: a. Award a contract to Border States, of Ames, IA, in an amount not-to-exceed $69,243.13. b. Award a contract to RESCO, of Ankeny, IA, in an amount not-to-exceed $148,369.87. 2. Direct staff to award one or both contracts to other bidders. 3. Reject the bids. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Transformers are critical to provide reliable electric service to customers of the Ames Municipal Electric System. It is important to purchase transformers at the lowest possible cost with minimal risk to the City. It is also imperative to have transformers available to meet customer needs in the short-term as well as the long-term. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above.

Because some equipment gets used more than others, staff annually reviews all playground equipment to determine the condition of each piece of equipment and whether it should be replaced. After each review, staff recommends which structures should be included in the five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The playground equipment in O'Neil Park, 300 S. Maple, was included in the FY 2026/27 CIP for replacement. There are two playground structures in O'Neil Park that will be replaced: one for ages two to five, and one for ages five to twelve. Staff sent a Request for Proposals (RFP) to qualified playground equipment representatives, inviting them to submit proposals to replace the playground equipment in O'Neil Park. The RFP stated that $145,000 was available for playground equipment and installation. Staff received 14 proposals from nine separate vendors and evaluated them based on the following criteria: safety; play features including balancing, spinning, sliding, climbing and swinging components; site compatibility; accessibility and inclusivity; supports physical, cognitive, and emotional/social development; cost vs. relative play value; unique play features; and aesthetics compared to existing structures within the park, as well as the overall park system. Proposals were submitted by: 1. Boland Recreation, Marshalltown, Iowa 2. Play-Pro Recreation, Clive, Iowa 3. BCI Burke Company, Inc., North Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, 4. Crouch Recreation, Elkhorn, Nebraska 5. American Playground and Recreation, Tea, South Dakota 6. Cunningham Recreation, Charlotte, North Carolina 7. Midwest Playscapes, Inc., Des Moines, Iowa 8. Park Planet, Solon, Iowa 9. Playground Boss, Allen, Texas PUBLIC OUTREACH: Staff evaluated the 14 proposals received and selected five options that were presented to members of the Oak to Riverside Neighborhood in early September. The neighborhood narrowed down the five playground options to three, which are attached. A survey available to 237 all Ames residents was then included in the weekly Parks and Recreation e-newsletter that is distributed to over 12,000 e mail addresses. The survey link was also posted on social media. In total, 169 survey results were received. These results indicate that respondents favored the options in the following order: Option 3 (80) Crouch Recreation Option 1 (49) Boland Recreation Option 2 (40) Cunningham Recreation The survey also asked residents if they lived within walking distance of the park. Of the respondents, 58 individuals (34%) lived within walking distance of the park. When looking at the survey results only from the people that live within walking distance, Option 3 was also the preferred choice. BUDGET: There is $166,480 budgeted for this project. The cost of the new playground structure and swings (option 3) for individuals aged two to five and five to twelve years old is $139,035. This leaves $27,445 remaining, which will be used to install a concrete playground border, benches, and engineered wood fiber surfacing. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Award a contract to Crouch Recreation, Elkhorn, Nebraska, to purchase and install playground equipment, Option 3, for O'Neil Park, in the amount of $139,035. 2. Award a contract to one of the other vendors. 3. Refer this item back to staff for further information. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Residents of Ames, year after year, rate the playgrounds in the parks good or very good over 90% of the time. In an effort to keep playground equipment safe and enjoyable, it needs to be replaced on a periodic basis. The playground structures in O'Neil Park are due for replacement. Based on feedback from staff and residents, the option offered by Crouch Recreation is the most desired playground equipment proposal. Therefore, is it the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #1 as noted above.

Staff identified the need for a centralized, configurable capital planning and construction management software (CMS) platform to improve project visibility, standardize workflows, support collaboration, and strengthen financial transparency across the City’s capital program. The CMS platform is intended to provide the City with a single system of record for CIP planning and construction project delivery, reducing reliance on separate spreadsheets, email records, and disconnected project files. A formal Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued June 9, 2026, to identify qualified software vendors for Capital Program and Construction Management Software (CMS). The RFP included a Functional Requirements Matrix that was used to score proposals and evaluate software capabilities. Vendors completed the matrix to identify the capabilities of their respective software platforms. Vendors were asked to provide responses to 107 tasks that were ranked as Critical, Important, or Preferred. Those 107 tasks were organized into 10 sections: 1. Quantity Management 2. Progress Payment Administration 3. Change Order Administration 4. Document Management and Construction Documentation 5. CIP Planning and Fund Management 6. Reporting and Dashboards 7. Approvals and Signatures 8. Mobile Field Operations 9. Project Closeout 10. Extras Four proposals were received on June 30, 2026. As part of the RFP process, vendors were asked to demonstrate their software capabilities through a guided demonstration highlighting Ames-specific use cases. Vendor demonstrations were held the week of August 3, 2026. These demonstrations allowed the RFP scoring team to verify the vendors’ RFP responses and evaluate how each proposed software solution would support City of Ames processes. Vendors were scored based on the Functional Requirements Matrix, software capabilities, and compatibility with City operations. Vendors received the following scores: 241 Vendor Ranking Score 3-Year Expense Kahua, Inc.1 562 $274,900.00 Procore 2 444 $225,736.21 Project Mates 3 420 $324,890.00 Builterra 4 386 $138,025.00 The table below indicates the number of tasks in the Critical, Important, or Preferred categories from the Functional Requirements Matrix that each vendor indicated they could provide out-of-the-box without any additional configuration, 3rd party integrations, or future software development and releases. It should be noted that a few of the responses and demonstrations from vendors indicated that they could not perform critical tasks without substantial effort or simply an inability to perform said task. Vendor Critical Tasks Out-of-the-Box Important Tasks Out-of-the- Box Preferred Tasks Out-of-the- Box Kahua, Inc.64/65 (98%)29/29 (100%)10/13 (77%) Procore 56/65 (86%)27/29 (93%)8/13 (62%) Project Mates 48/65 (74%)18/29 (62%)7/13 (54%) Builterra 53/65 (82%)27/29 (93%)7/13 (54%) The top-scoring vendor was Kahua, Inc. of Alpharetta, Georgia. Kahua’s guided demonstration was the most comprehensive in demonstrating that the functionality of the software could meet the City’s needs and the requirements outlined in the RFP. Additionally, Kahua successfully demonstrated that 64 of the 65 Critical tasks and 100% of the Important tasks identified in the Functional Requirements Matrix were available out of the box, with the one remaining Important task as able to be configured during implementation. Kahua’s ability to demonstrate the required software functionality during the guided demonstration further strengthened staff’s confidence in its ranking as the top-scoring vendor. Following the scoring process, staff reviewed vendor references and negotiated with Kahua for an implementation schedule that will be completed within nine months. The proposed contract term is three years. A breakdown of the costs by year is provided below: Year Annual Cost Year 1 $100,000 Year 2 $99,950 Year 3 $74,950 Total $274,900 Funding for Year 1 is included in the approved FY 2026/27 Operating Budget in the amount of $100,000. The $100,000 is split between the Public Works Engineering Operating Budget ($85,000) and the Public Works Administration Operating Budget ($15,000). Expenses for Years 2 and 3 will be programmed in the Operating Budgets for FY 2027/28 and FY 2028/29, respectively. 242 ALTERNATIVES: 1. Award a three-year contract (with a non-appropriation clause) to Kahua, Inc., of Alpharetta, GA, for Capital Planning and Construction Management Software in the amount of $274,900. 2. Direct staff to evaluate additional software options. 3. Do not award the contract at this time. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Kahua, Inc.’s software solution will support improvements in efficiency, accountability, and transparency in the delivery of capital projects. The platform will provide staff with tools to coordinate project information, track budgets and commitments, manage documents and approvals, and produce more consistent reporting. Staff believes the software will improve the City’s ability to plan, manage, and monitor capital projects from early planning through construction closeout. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above. 243 ITEM #:30 DATE:10-13-26 DEPT:PW SUBJECT:2026/27 AIRPORT AIRSIDE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (RECONSTRUCTION OF RUNWAY 01/19) COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: The City has a Master Agreement with Bolton & Menk, Inc., of Ames, IA, for engineering services at the James Herman Banning Ames Municipal Airport. Recent work has included the design, final plans, and bidding for the Reconstruction of Runway 01/19. With design complete and construction about to begin, two amendments to the Master Agreement are needed for the construction phase engineering services. Amendment No. 1 – AGIS Design Survey ($114,200, lump sum). In May 2025, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued Engineering Policy 25-01, which updated its requirements for the Airports Geographic Information Systems (AGIS) survey program. Also, the Airport’s approach category is changing from “B” to “C” because of the higher approach speeds of aircraft already using the Airport. To meet the design standards for those aircraft, the Runway 01/19 profile must be flattened. Together, these changes require an AGIS design survey, which the FAA uses to develop or amend instrument flight procedures. The work includes geodetic control, aerial photography, an aeronautical survey of the runway and navigational aids, and FAA-compliant mapping and data submittals. It is scheduled for September 2026 through March 2027. Amendment No. 2 – Construction Phase Services ($2,098,400). This amendment provides the engineering services needed for the Reconstruction of Runway 01/19, project inspection and closeout. Construction observation includes a full-time Resident Project Representative (up to 3,894 hours), a second observer during critical operations (up to 2,130 hours), and up to 100 field visits by the project manager. 244 Service Amount Fee Type Construction Administration $569,600 Lump Sum Construction Observation $1,294,700 Hourly, Not-to-Exceed Construction Testing $74,200 Cost Plus Fixed Fee, Not-to- Exceed AGIS As-Built Survey $84,300 Lump Sum As-Built Airport Layout Plan $39,400 Lump Sum Construction Grant Application $3,600 Lump Sum Construction Grant Closeout $32,600 Lump Sum Total Amendment No. 2 $2,098,400 The two amendments total $2,212,600. Both are eligible for FAA reimbursement of up to 95%. The estimated local share is $110,630 ($5,710 for Amendment No. 1 and $104,920 for Amendment No. 2). The approved project budget included an estimated $2,650,000 for these services. The two amendments come in $437,400 under that estimate, and the required local share is covered by the local funding already identified for the project. The revised project revenues and expenses are shown below (the formatting of items in the table matches the FAA's : 245 Fiscal Year Available Revenues Amount Revised Anticipated Expenses Amount Design Phase Design Phase 2024/25 Federal Grant - Design (95%)$1,140,095 PSA - Design $1,196,600 2024/25 Airport Improvements Fund $130,000 Design Independent Fee Evaluation (IFE)$3,500 Construction Phase Construction Phase - FAA Grants 036/037 2025/26 Federal Grant 036 (95%) (accepted)$7,810,900 Administration/Legal/Advertisement $6,209 2026/27 Federal Grant 037 (90%) (anticipated spring 2027) $12,769,200 AGIS Design (Amendment No. 1) THIS COUNCIL ACTION $114,200 2024/25 Airport Improvements Fund (Reprogrammed) $25,000 End Fire Glideslope Design $75,000 2025/26 G.O.

Because lower eligible costs also lower the federal share, the actual local savings will be less than the amount shown. 246 ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the following amendments to the Master Agreement with Bolton & Menk, Inc., of Ames, IA, for the 2026/27 Airport Airside Improvements Project (Reconstruction of Runway 01/19): a. Amendment No. 1 for the AGIS Design Survey, in the lump sum amount of $114,200. b. Amendment No. 2 for Construction Phase Services, in an amount not to exceed $2,098,400. 2. Do not approve the amendments. This would leave the City without the engineering services the FAA requires to administer, inspect, test and close out the grant-funded runway reconstruction, and to update the Airport’s AGIS data and Airport Layout Plan. 3. Refer this item back to staff for further information. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The FAA requires these engineering services to administer, inspect, test and close out the federally funded runway reconstruction, and to update the Airport’s AGIS data and Airport Layout Plan. The fees are less than estimates included in the approved project budget and are eligible for 95% FAA reimbursement. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1 a-b, as noted above.

BASIC SERVICES For purposes of this Amendment to the Task Order, the Basic Services to be provided by the CONSULTANT are as follows: 2. AERONAUTICAL (AGIS) DESIGN SURVEY - 2.1. Geodetic Control Geodetic Control is necessary to establish project control tied to the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) to establish accurate vertical and horizontal benchmarks. The horizontal datum will be NAD83, and the vertical datum will be NAVD88. Ground surveying will be completed to FAA AC 150/5300-18B standards. Where available, Primary and/or Secondary Airport Control Stations (PACS/SACS) will be utilized in conjunction with Temporary Geodetic Control on this project. 2.2. Aerial Photography Aerial photography is required by project specifications for development of an obstruction analysis. The photography will also be used to develop an overall airport base map of planimetric features. The team will develop a flight plan, acquire the photogrammetry, process, and analyze the imagery. This includes stereo photogrammetry and ortho photogrammetry as required by FAA AC 150/5300-17C. Ground control points for aerial imagery will be determined and surveyed to provide accuracy for the aerial imagery acquisition. The control positions will be determined with direct ties to the temporary control developed. The capture of aerial photography will be completed once the ground control stations are set. For the obstruction analysis, tree canopies must be in full bloom providing full ‘leaf-on’ conditions. One imagery acquisition flight is planned to obtain the best imagery for base mapping and obstruction analysis. This imagery will occur during leaf-on conditions. Ortho photography will also be collected as required in AC 150/5300-17C. The photography flight crew will collect the imagery as required to encompass the critical areas of the obstruction identification surfaces and planimetric base mapping. The imagery will be processed and geo-referenced. Models will then be produced for the planimetric base mapping and obstruction analysis. Orthophotos for the entire project area will be developed with a 1.0’ pixel resolution and a 0.5’ pixel resolution for the airport property. The photo scale will be 1” = 1.923’ for the obstruction surface areas and 1” = 3,846’ for the airport property. 250 Ames Municipal Airport Amendment No. 1 to Work Order No, 7 BMI Project No. 24X.136121.000 H:\AMES\24X136121000\0_Reconstruct Runway 01.19\A_Project Management\2_Contracts\Amendments\Addendum No. 1\Scope and Fee\136121000 - Amendment No. 1 AGIS Design-Exhibit I- Scope_.docx Page 2 2.3. Aeronautical Survey An aeronautical survey is required to obtain and document critical airside information. Ground surveying will be completed to FAA AC 150/5300-18B standards for utilizing temporary geodetic survey control. Multiple survey methods will be used to capture critical runway, navigational aid (NAVAID), obstructions, and control points. This includes the following general surveying tasks: ▪ Survey Existing Runway 01/19 ends and profile ▪ Survey Existing Runway 13/31 ends and profile (with the change in profile, runway 13/31 is not required to be done during the design AGIS due the change not exceeding 3 feet per Engineering Policy 25-01. The profile is anticipated to be collected under the As-built AGIS. If survey of the Runway 13/31 profile is required by NGS to submit data for the design, it will be considered additional work and subject to a contract amendment. ▪ Monument Runway ends (if not already completed) ▪ Survey On Airport Navigational aids for all Runways ▪ All other tasks not specifically listed above as outline in FAA AC 150/5300-18, Table 2- 1 “ Survey Requirements Matrix for Instrument Procedures Development.” The horizontal and vertical points of each NAVAID and top obstruction point will be collected. Prior to the survey, the project team will conduct field reconnaissance and Airport interviews to develop project understanding and ensure airfield operational safety is maintained. Airport officials and FAA will be utilized for assistance in identifying NAVAIDS on site or off Airport property associated with instrument approach procedure servicing the airport. Any field survey work shall be coordinated with the Airport Manager. Field escorts are not anticipated to be required, nor is airport badging and the surveyors shall use a Unicom radio as required to complete the field survey. 2.4. FAA Planimetric Mapping & GIS Attributes Aerial photography will be used to develop a planimetric map over the base mapping area which includes the Airport property and surrounding area. The on-Airport features group and class information populated will follow the required (not optional) critical elements as outlined in FAA AC 150/5300-18B. The data groups rendered into attributes will include data easily viewable via aerial photography and/or via site visit. All feature classes are excluded from this effort unless specifically described in this scope of services. This Airport planimetric map will include: ▪ Runways ▪ Navigational Aids ▪ All other attributes not specifically listed above as outline in FAA AC 150/5300-18B.

Project Management, Reporting, Deliverables The Consultant will manage the overall project, including administration and coordination of all efforts related to this work item including coordination with NGS and online portal, initial coordination with FAA Flight Procedures, and coordination with survey staff to produce an prepare deliverables in accordance with FAA standards, and monitoring progress towards established project milestones. The Consultant will not be responsible for providing the Airport with regular progress reports to communicate the team’s progress throughout the project. As this scope has very little field surveying and client interaction needed to complete the scope of services identified, no progress reports are planned. When field work is needed, the Consultant will notify of the need to be on the airfield and arrange a time to complete the field surveying with the airport manager. Data files and reports will be prepared and delivered as defined in AC 150/5300- 16A, 17C, and 18B. The FAA requires a geodetic control report to the NGS (if applicable), an aerial imagery report to the NGS for use in validation, and a final project completion report. The final project completion report will include a complete synopsis of each of the survey tasks completed. Final deliverables to the Airport will include: • One (1) poster-size print of the aerial photography captures as part of the project. • AGIS-compliant survey dataset. • FAA Airports GIS upload package. Final deliverables submitted to the FAA can be downloaded by the CLIENT from the FAA ADIP website. • Aerial imagery report. • Final AGIS project completion report. • One electronic copy of all submitted deliverables.

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 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 262 Page 8 of 16 Updated March 17, 2026 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 Contractor and all sub-tier contractors must give preference to covered veterans as defined within 49 U.S.C. § 47112.

Bid Information requirements for negotiated procurement In a negotiated procurement, such as a procurement for professional services, the Sponsor may allow the bidder/offeror to make a contractually binding commitment to meet the goal at the time of bid submission or the presentation of initial proposals but provide the information required under the above responsiveness or responsibility procedures before the final selection for the contract is made by the recipient. Bid Information submitted for Design-Build projects In a design-build contracting situation, in which the Sponsor solicits proposals to design and build a project with minimal-project details at time of letting, the Sponsor may set a DBE goal that proposers must meet by submitting a DBE Open-Ended DBE Performance Plan (OEPP) with the proposal. The OEPP replaces the requirement to provide the information required in paragraph (b) of 49 CFR § 26.53 that applies to design-bid-build contracts. To be considered responsive, the OEPP must include a commitment to meet the goal and provide details of the types of subcontracting work or services (with projected dollar amount) that the proposer will solicit DBEs to perform. The OEPP must include an estimated time frame in which actual DBE subcontracts would be executed. Once the design-build contract is awarded, the recipient must provide ongoing monitoring and oversight to evaluate whether the design-builder is using good faith efforts to comply with the OEPP and schedule. The recipient and the design-builder may agree to make written revisions of the OEPP throughout the life of the project, e.g., replacing the type of work items the design-builder will solicit DBEs to perform and/or adjusting the proposed schedule, as long as the design-builder continues to use good faith efforts to meet the goal. Solicitation Language (Solicitations with No DBE Contract Goal) The requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 including any amendments thereto apply to this contract. It is the policy of the Owner to practice nondiscrimination based on race, color, sex, or national origin in the award or performance of this contract. The Owner encourages participation by all firms qualifying under this solicitation regardless of business size or ownership. Prime Contracts (Contracts Covered by a DBE Program) Contract Assurance (49 CFR § 26.13) The Contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The Contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26, including any amendments thereto, in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the Contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to: 1) Withholding monthly progress payments; 2) Assessing sanctions; 3) Liquidated damages; and/or 4) Disqualifying the Contractor from future bidding as non-responsible. 270 Page 16 of 16 Updated March 17, 2026 Prompt Payment (49 CFR § 26.29) The prime contractor agrees to pay each subcontractor under this prime contract for satisfactory performance of its contract no later than thirty (30) calendar days from the receipt of each payment the prime contractor receives from Owner. The prime contractor agrees further to return retainage payments to each subcontractor within thirty (30) calendar days after the subcontractor’s work is satisfactorily completed. Any delay or postponement of payment from the above referenced time frame may occur only for good cause following written approval of the Owner. This clause applies to both DBE and non-DBE subcontractors. Termination of DBE Subcontracts (49 CFR § 26.53(f)) The prime contractor must not terminate a DBE subcontractor listed in response to the above Solicitation Language (Solicitations that include a Contract Goal) section (or an approved substitute DBE firm) without prior written consent of Owner. This includes, but is not limited to, instances in which the prime contractor seeks to perform work originally designated for a DBE subcontractor with its own forces or those of an affiliate, a non-DBE firm, or with another DBE firm. The prime contractor shall utilize the specific DBEs listed to perform the work and supply the materials for which each is listed unless the contractor obtains written consent from the Owner. Unless the Owner’s consent is provided, the prime contractor shall not be entitled to any payment for work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE. The Owner may provide such written consent only if the Owner agrees, for reasons stated in the concurrence document, that the prime contractor has good cause to terminate the DBE firm. For purposes of this paragraph, good cause includes the circumstances listed in 49 CFR §26.53. Before transmitting to the Owner its request to terminate and/or substitute a DBE subcontractor, the prime contractor must give notice in writing to the DBE subcontractor, with a copy to the Owner, of its intent to request to terminate and/or substitute, and the reason for the request. The prime contractor must give the DBE five days to respond to the prime contractor's notice and advise the Owner and the contractor of the reasons, if any, why it objects to the proposed termination of its subcontract and why the Owner should not approve the prime contractor's action. If required in a particular case as a matter of public necessity (e.g., safety), the Owner may provide a response period shorter than five days. In addition to post-award terminations, the provisions of this section apply to pre-award deletions of or substitutions for DBE firms put forward by offerors in negotiated procurements. 271 H:\AMES\24X136121000\0_Reconstruct Runway 01.19\A_Project Management\2_Contracts\Amendments\Amendment No. 2\Scope and Fee\Other documents\136121000 - Amendment No. 2 Construction Phase.docx Page 1 AMENDMENT #2 TO THE TASK ORDER #7 AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES BETWEEN CITY OF AMES AND BOLTON & MENK, INC.

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 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 294 Page 8 of 16 Updated March 17, 2026 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.

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.

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.

Bid Information requirements for negotiated procurement In a negotiated procurement, such as a procurement for professional services, the Sponsor may allow the bidder/offeror to make a contractually binding commitment to meet the goal at the time of bid submission or the presentation of initial proposals but provide the information required under the above responsiveness or responsibility procedures before the final selection for the contract is made by the recipient. Bid Information submitted for Design-Build projects In a design-build contracting situation, in which the Sponsor solicits proposals to design and build a project with minimal-project details at time of letting, the Sponsor may set a DBE goal that proposers must meet by submitting a DBE Open-Ended DBE Performance Plan (OEPP) with the proposal. The OEPP replaces the requirement to provide the information required in paragraph (b) of 49 CFR § 26.53 that applies to design-bid-build contracts. To be considered responsive, the OEPP must include a commitment to meet the goal and provide details of the types of subcontracting work or services (with projected dollar amount) that the proposer will solicit DBEs to perform. The OEPP must include an estimated time frame in which actual DBE subcontracts would be executed. Once the design-build contract is awarded, the recipient must provide ongoing monitoring and oversight to evaluate whether the design-builder is using good faith efforts to comply with the OEPP and schedule. The recipient and the design-builder may agree to make written revisions of the OEPP throughout the life of the project, e.g., replacing the type of work items the design-builder will solicit DBEs to perform and/or adjusting the proposed schedule, as long as the design-builder continues to use good faith efforts to meet the goal. Solicitation Language (Solicitations with No DBE Contract Goal) The requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 including any amendments thereto apply to this contract. It is the policy of the Owner to practice nondiscrimination based on race, color, sex, or national origin in the award or performance of this contract. The Owner encourages participation by all firms qualifying under this solicitation regardless of business size or ownership. Prime Contracts (Contracts Covered by a DBE Program) Contract Assurance (49 CFR § 26.13) The Contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The Contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26, including any amendments thereto, in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the Contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to: 1) Withholding monthly progress payments; 2) Assessing sanctions; 3) Liquidated damages; and/or 4) Disqualifying the Contractor from future bidding as non-responsible. 302 Page 16 of 16 Updated March 17, 2026 Prompt Payment (49 CFR § 26.29) The prime contractor agrees to pay each subcontractor under this prime contract for satisfactory performance of its contract no later than thirty (30) calendar days from the receipt of each payment the prime contractor receives from Owner. The prime contractor agrees further to return retainage payments to each subcontractor within thirty (30) calendar days after the subcontractor’s work is satisfactorily completed. Any delay or postponement of payment from the above referenced time frame may occur only for good cause following written approval of the Owner. This clause applies to both DBE and non-DBE subcontractors. Termination of DBE Subcontracts (49 CFR § 26.53(f)) The prime contractor must not terminate a DBE subcontractor listed in response to the above Solicitation Language (Solicitations that include a Contract Goal) section (or an approved substitute DBE firm) without prior written consent of Owner. This includes, but is not limited to, instances in which the prime contractor seeks to perform work originally designated for a DBE subcontractor with its own forces or those of an affiliate, a non-DBE firm, or with another DBE firm. The prime contractor shall utilize the specific DBEs listed to perform the work and supply the materials for which each is listed unless the contractor obtains written consent from the Owner. Unless the Owner’s consent is provided, the prime contractor shall not be entitled to any payment for work or material unless it is performed or supplied by the listed DBE. The Owner may provide such written consent only if the Owner agrees, for reasons stated in the concurrence document, that the prime contractor has good cause to terminate the DBE firm. For purposes of this paragraph, good cause includes the circumstances listed in 49 CFR §26.53. Before transmitting to the Owner its request to terminate and/or substitute a DBE subcontractor, the prime contractor must give notice in writing to the DBE subcontractor, with a copy to the Owner, of its intent to request to terminate and/or substitute, and the reason for the request. The prime contractor must give the DBE five days to respond to the prime contractor's notice and advise the Owner and the contractor of the reasons, if any, why it objects to the proposed termination of its subcontract and why the Owner should not approve the prime contractor's action. If required in a particular case as a matter of public necessity (e.g., safety), the Owner may provide a response period shorter than five days. In addition to post-award terminations, the provisions of this section apply to pre-award deletions of or substitutions for DBE firms put forward by offerors in negotiated procurements. 303 To:Mayor and City Council From:Nan Beach, Deputy City Clerk Date:October 13, 2026 Subject:Contract and Bond Approval Item No. 31 MEMO There is no Council Action Form for the Fire Suppression Systems Work to Tri-City Fire Protection, LLC, of Davenport, IA, in the amount of $169,284. City Council approval of the contract and bond for the project is simply fulfilling a State Code requirement. Public Works 515.239.5105 main 515.239.5142 fax 515 Clark Ave. P.O. Box 811 Ames, IA 50010 www.CityofAmes.org 304 ITEM #:32 DATE:10-13-26 DEPT:PW SUBJECT:SANITARY SEWER UTILITY EASEMENT ON STATE OF IOWA PROPERTY COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: Iowa State University (ISU) and the City are partnering to locate the future Fire Station 2 on ISU property along State Avenue. Recent site design work revealed that a direct connection to the existing sanitary main north of College Creek is infeasible because Iowa Department of Natural Resources' depth requirements for creek crossings place the northern main too high to accommodate a gravity-flow system. To achieve a proper gravity connection, the optimal solution is to route the station's service to the existing sanitary main on the east side of State Avenue, where the sewer drops in elevation before passing beneath the creek. Because this distance exceeds a standard service run, the City proposes constructing a new 8-inch sanitary main along State Avenue as part of the 2027 State Avenue reconstruction project, enabling Fire Station 2's service line to extend eastward beneath State Avenue and tie directly into this new main. Through close coordination with Iowa State University staff, the City evaluated multiple alternative connection routes for this new main and determined that the optimal alignment would run along the east side of State Avenue and tie into an existing manhole north of the creek. The elevation drop here ensures proper gravity flow for the proposed 8-inch sanitary sewer. Because this connection requires crossing ISU property near College Creek, the proposed easement will formally authorize this utility placement. The easement documents have been prepared and are attached. Once City Council approval is obtained, the easement will be presented to the Board of Regents for consideration. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the Sanitary Sewer Utility Easement on State of Iowa property. 2. Do not approve the Sanitary Sewer Utility Easement on State of Iowa property and direct staff to find an alternate route for the Sanitary Sewer. 305 CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The sanitary sewer addressed by this proposed easement would provide a service connection point for Fire Station 2 along State Ave. This alignment provides the best routing to allow a gravity flow sanitary sewer service for the new Fire Station 2. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as noted above.

A. The State of Iowa holds title to the certain real property East of State Avenue in Ames, Iowa, located within the Southwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 9, Township 83 North, Range 24 West, in Story County, Iowa, for the use and benefit of Iowa State University of Science and Technology under the jurisdiction of the Iowa Board of Regents, which is locally known as 530 State Avenue, Ames, Iowa, and is identified as property tax parcel 09-09-150-000 (“Property”). B. Grantor and Grantee recently partnered on the site selection for a new fire station (“Fire Station No. 2”) to be constructed along State Avenue. For several reasons, the parties propose to connect Fire Station No. 2 to the existing sanitary main on the east side of State Avenue. Grantee intends to construct an 8-inch sanitary main along State Avenue at the time of a planned reconstruction project for State Avenue in 2027. Fire Station No. 2’s sanitary service line is proposed to extend from its site heading east under State Avenue and connect into the proposed 8 inch main on the east side of State Avenue. An 8-inch main along the east side of State Avenue also provides the Grantor with sanitary sewer service at a desirable connection point along State Avenue, if Grantor considers future development in the area. 308 TERMS 1. Location. Pursuant to Code of Iowa §262.9(8) and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Grantor grants Grantee a permanent sanitary sewer easement that shall be located upon and limited to the area depicted in Exhibit A attached hereto and made part of this Agreement, and legally described in Exhibit B (“Easement Area”). 2. Use. Grantee shall use the Easement Area for the purpose of operating, using, maintaining, and repairing sanitary sewer system components (“Grantee Components”) to provide sanitary sewer services to Grantor and others, including Grantee. Grantee must obtain Grantor’s prior written approval for any other use of the Easement Area. Grantee shall be responsible for the preparation and cost of any required Plats of Easement and legal descriptions required. 3. Access; Disruption. Grantee's entrance upon Grantor's Property to access the Easement Area shall be over reasonable routes designated by Grantor.

Grantor and Grantee shall each designate at least one representative to serve as its liaison to the other party regarding the construction. b. Construction Plans. Grantee shall submit to Grantor for Grantor’s approval a copy of Grantee’s plans for construction. Grantor’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Grantee shall ensure that construction is performed in accordance with the approved plans. c. Construction Dates. Grantor and Grantee shall mutually agree on the dates during which the construction activities may occur to diminish any adverse impact on Grantor’s activities on the Property. d. Temporary Construction Easement. Grantor grants Grantee a temporary construction easement in an area depicted in Exhibit A and legally described in Exhibit B. The temporary construction easement will expire upon Grantee’s City Council's final acceptance of the sanitary sewer construction project; provided, however, in no event shall the temporary construction easement continue past June 30, 2028. Grantee’s obligations and liability with respect to the Easement Area shall also apply to the temporary construction easement. Grantee’s use of any other areas of Grantor’s property for Grantee’s construction activities 309 requires 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 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. f. Restoration. Grantee shall set forth in the construction plans Grantee’s plans for restoring the Property and other Grantor property that Grantee uses in connection with the construction of the Grantee Components once construction is completed.

The existing line, which serves the City water wells 16 & 17, has failed and been repaired several times. The replacement line is needed to restore service reliability to the wells. The existing buried line has never been covered by an easement. Iowa State University is willing to grant an easement to the City of Ames for the buried line. The Iowa Board of Regents is expected to approve the easement at the November 2026 Board meeting in exchange for $1 in consideration. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the Electric Utility Easement on State of Iowa property for the installation of the buried electric line. 2. Do not approve the Electric Utility Easement on State of Iowa property and direct Electric Services' staff to find an alternative location for the buried electric line. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Maintaining reliable electric service to the City water wells #16 & 17 is vital to the citizens of Ames. The replacement of the buried electric line will ensure that reliability. An easement of State of Iowa property is required to replace the buried electric line. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as noted above.

The CMA was brought on board as the design process for the R3C began to aid in constructability review and provide value engineering where appropriate to reduce expenses. The $1,249,640 CMA contract value is calculated based on four components: 1) A Pre- Construction Services fee ($40,000), 2) Construction Phase Services ($560,040), 3) a Base fee (2.25% of the actual construction value of the project, estimated at $201,600), and 4) General Conditions services (estimated at $448,000). At the time of contract award for the CMA services, the estimated construction value for the project was $8,960,000, resulting in the Base fee of $201,600. As the design development continued, the project construction scope grew to accommodate the needs of the facility with engineer's estimate prior to bid at $16,821,527. Contracts and change orders for 11 bidders were ultimately awarded following a rigorous value engineering exercise for a construction value of $17,991,996.03. A number of change orders have been approved by staff or City Council bringing the current construction value of the R3C project to $18,261,657.88. The table below compares the original value of the CMA contract at the time it was approved with the revised amount based on the increased construction cost: Description Original Value Revised Value Pre-Construction Services $ 40,000 $ 40,000 Construction Phase Services 560,040 560,040 General Conditions 448,000 448,000 Base Fee (2.5% of construction value) Estimated construction value of $8,960,000 201,600 Estimated construction value of $18,261,657.88 410,887.30 TOTAL $ 1,249,640 $ 1,458,927.30 Difference $209,287.30 325 Budgeted Revenues Budgeted Expenses Revenue Abated G.O.

Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $209,287.30 will bring the construction contract value up to date to reflect the changes since the CMA contract was executed. It is very likely that this amount will be revised again at project closeout to reflect the actual as-built construction costs. A revised project budget is provided below. The base fee amount is reflected as a part of the Construction Manager Fee line item in the budget that is shown in the table below: 326 Water Utility Fund 40,000 Freel Drive Paving (as bid + contract admin)$1,102,310 Total Project Revenues $26,273,807 Total Project Expenses $26,149,086 ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve Change Order No. 1 to Story Construction Co., of Ames, IA, in the amount of $209,287.30. 2. Do not approve the change order and direct staff to make other modifications to the project. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The CMA contract includes a base fee that varies depending upon the value of the construction that is managed by the CMA. At the time of the execution of the CMA contract, very little design development had occurred and therefore an estimate of the construction value was used as a placeholder. Following bidding and value engineering exercises to reduce the cost of the project, the new construction value requires that a change order be issued to reflect the current construction value and updated base fee amount. Depending upon the actual final construction costs at the end of the project, an additional adjustment to the base fee is likely following the completion of the construction to reflect the final as-built project value. Staff will continue to track changes to the fee as project changes inevitably occur and will reflect those in the budgetary table. This change order does not reflect additional costs due to schedule or completion dates. The R3C project is currently tracking for substantial completion in spring 2027 and staff is closely monitoring CMA expenditures related to project management and completion dates. Staff does not believe any adjustments are necessary at this time for those CMA services. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve Alternative 1, as described above. 327 ITEM #:35 DATE:10-13-26 DEPT:PW SUBJECT:RESOURCE RECOVERY AND RECYCLING CAMPUS - CHANGE ORDER NO. 4 FOR JENSEN BUILDERS, LTD. COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: On March 24, 2026, the City Council approved final plans and specifications and awarded contracts for the construction of the Resource Recovery and Recycling Campus (R3C). At that meeting, 11 separate bid packages (BPs) were award to various contractors. Eighteen change orders have been approved for the various bid packages to date, with the majority of the changes resulting from the value engineering process that occurred follow bid opening. There have been three change orders approved to date for Jensen Builders, Ltd. for BP 3-1 - Concrete & Steel Work. Change Order No. 1, a deduction in the amount of $174,948.97, was approved by City Council on March 24, 2025, and included value engineering deductions to reduce the project construction cost. Change Order No. 2, in the amount of $15,927.55, was approved by staff and included the addition of embedded steel plates installed within the tunnel wall so that future protective plating could be installed. Change Order No. 3, in the amount of $13,875.90, was approved by staff and included changes to the scale house siding to match the transfer station siding. The R3C utilizes a partial tunnel located several feet below the elevation of the tipping floor. Semi trucks will pull trailers into the tunnel, where they will be loaded from above with a wheel loader located on the tipping floor above. The wall adjacent to the transfer tunnel has two bays that can be utilized to load two transfer trailers at the same time. The southern-most bay wall is likely to be utilized most heavily for loading municipal solid waste (MSW) into transfer trailers because it is directly adjacent to the processing equipment. The southern bay wall is protected by heavy AR-400 steel plates that are designed to take the brunt of the wear and damage associated with the handling of the MSW. The northern bay wall does not include the protective plating because the majority of the loading operations are assumed at the southern bay. However, staff believes it is appropriate to protect the northern bay wall as well, as there will be times where loading operations will need the additional bay. It is more cost effective to include the wall protection in the construction now than to retrofit at a later date. Change Order No. 4 includes the installation of the additional wall plating at a cost of $75,764.25. Revenue for this change order will come from the project contingency fund which currently has $413,321.22.

Approve Change Order No. 4 to Jensen Builders LTD., of Des Moines, IA, in the amount of $75,764.25. 2. Do not approve the change order and direct staff to make other modifications to the project. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Providing plated protection of the walls adjacent to the transfer tunnel will protect the integrity of the building structure and benefit the long-term operational capabilities of the R3C. Including the plates now during construction will allow the work to take place without interrupting the ability to transfer MSW in the future. Retrofitting the plates at a later date will be more expensive and impact operations at the facility. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve Alternative 1, as described above. 331 ITEM #:36 DATE:10-13-26 DEPT:W&PC SUBJECT:NORTH RIVER VALLEY WELL FIELD AND PIPELINE PROJECT FINAL COMPLETION COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: On April 11, 2023, Council awarded a contract to Keller Excavating, Inc. in the amount of $10,200,955.80 for construction of a new well field to provide additional source water for the Ames Water Treatment Plant. During the course of the contract, seven change orders were approved for a net reduction in the final contract amount of $198,166.89, bringing the final contract amount to $10,002,788.91. All work on the project is now complete and is ready to be accepted by the City. The final project budget is as follows. Funding Sources Project Expenses Drinking Water State Revolving Loan $ 12,161,000 Test Drilling $ 124,005 Engineering, Admin, Legal 725,272 Land 111,038 Construction Original Contract 10,200,956 Change Order #1 30,125 Change Order #2 228,565 Change Order #3 (17,305) Change Order #4 47,336 Change Order #5 5,636 Change Order #6 12,829 Change Order #7 (505,353) Geotechnical Services 14,839 Programming Services 36,225 Archaeological Services Contract 1 Original Contract 22,773 Contract 1 Change Order 1 35,240 Contract 2 134,924 Project Totals $ 12,161,000 $ 11,207,105 Unspent Contingency $ 953,895 332 The engineering consultant previously certified that the project achieved Substantial Completion on May 22, 2026. Final completion was subsequently certified on September 23, 2026. An Engineer's Notice of Acceptability of Work is attached along with the contractor's final pay application documenting the final contract total. The final contract amount is $10,002,788.91. The project was financed using a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan. Because the SRF is a reimbursement program, only expenses that were actually incurred will be a part of the final loan amount. The unspent contingency amount shown above will not be drawn against the loan and thus will not need to be reimbursed. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has also granted the City loan forgiveness in the amount of $922,166 under its "Drinking Water SRF Bipartisan Infrastructure Law PFAS/Emerging Contaminants" grant funding. Once the loan is finalized, the principal on the loan will be reduced by that amount and the repayment schedule will be re- amortized. Council will need to take action at a later date to amend the loan agreement to incorporate the loan forgiveness. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Accept as complete the North River Valley Well Field and Pipeline Project by Keller Excavating in a final contract amount of $10,002,788.91 and authorize the release of retainage in accordance with the contract. 2. Do not accept the project as complete at this time, and give direction to staff on actions needed prior to Council accepting the project. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The two new wells constructed by the North River Valley Well Field and Pipeline Project have been in service since early 2026 and perform as intended. All remaining punch list items have been complete, and the engineer has provided a Notice of Acceptability of W o rk. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative 1 as described above.

Sincerely, Justin A. Clausen, PE, CPWP-M Public Works Director JAC/lbc cc: City Clerk, Finance, Contractor, Administrative Services, Project File 341 ITEM #:39 DATE:10-13-26 DEPT:P&H SUBJECT:SUNSET RIDGE NORTH SECOND ADDITION FINAL PLAT COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: Hunziker Land Development, LLC has submitted a final subdivision plat for Sunset Ridge North Subdivision, Second Addition. The plat will create 15 lots for residential development, one street lot (Lot A) for the extension of Greene Street and Ellston Avenue to serve the lots, and one outlot (Outlot WW) for future development to the west. Of the 15 lots, eight will be for attached single-family dwellings. These will be on the north side of Greene Street. The remaining lots will be for detached single-family dwellings. The development is located immediately north of the Sunset Ridge Subdivision. All proposed lots will front on Greene Street. Ellston Avenue will be extended north to intersect with Greene Street as part of the development. PRELIMINARY PLAT CONDITIONS: The preliminary plat was approved on June 27, 2023, with two conditions: 1. The first condition required that a sidewalk be designed within the private open space of Outlot C of the first addition that would connect Greene Street with a future City park to the north. The sidewalk was required due to the length of Greene Street exceeding City standards for maximum block length and to address the usable open space requirement of FS-RL zoning. A decision regarding the sidewalk design was deferred with the first addition to the second addition to allow the City to complete a Park Master Plan to identify an appropriate connection point. Although the master planning process for the park is anticipated to begin in spring 2027, Parks and Recreation staff has determined that the Outlot C sidewalk will stub to the park boundary at the optimal connection point. This sidewalk stub will be built within 36 months consistent with the standard for an Agreement for Sidewalks and Street Trees. 2. The second condition required a street tree planting plan be provided prior to final plat approval. The plan must coordinate utility and driveway locations for single-family attached homes. Staff has reviewed and approved the plan. 342 SIDEWALK DEFERRAL OF OUTLOT WW: The applicant proposes to complete construction of sidewalks within Outlot WW to make sidewalk connections to the south and east. The improvement will extend partially along the frontage to connect an accessible ramp on the east side of Ellston. Frontage of Outlot WW along Ellston will also be completed to connect south to Sunset Ridge. The remaining frontage of Outlot WW will be deferred until future development occurs. FINANCIAL SECURITY OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS: The developer has provided a letter of credit in the amount of $90,917 for the completion of public improvements for utility extensions, sidewalks, paving, street trees, etc., which the City Council is asked to accept. All improvements are required to be completed within three years. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the Final Plat for Sunset Ridge North Subdivision, Second Addition, accept the Public Improvements Agreement, and find that the Final Plat conforms to relevant and applicable design standards, ordinances, policies, and plans. 2. Deny the Final Plat for Sunset Ridge North Subdivision, Second Addition based upon consistency with the approved preliminary plat or on the basis that the development creates a burden on existing public improvements or creates a need for new public improvements that have not yet been installed. 3. Defer action on this request and refer it back to City staff and/or the applicant for additional information. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The proposed second addition includes phasing of improvements, easements, and right-of-way dedication to address installed and planned utility infrastructure coordinated with the establishment of developable lots. The conditions from the 2023 preliminary plat approval have been fulfilled with this Addition. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #1, as described above.

The City has also coordinated the acquisition of land with Story County Conservation. The land acquisition requires a Plat of Survey to divide the existing parcels into the configurations desired for acquisition. The Plat of Survey is subject to Ames City Council approval since it is within the City's subdivision regulations that apply within two miles of the City's boundary. The proposed plat of survey is a boundary line adjustment between the five existing parcels to create four new parcels (see Attachment A- Location Map and Attachment B-Plat of Survey). The subject properties are within a Natural Area designation of the City within the Urban Reserve designation. Adjusting the boundaries of existing parcels in a manner that does not create new developable area is consistent with the policies of the City for areas that are already part of the Urban Reserve in Ames Plan 2040. The intent by the current owner is to sell the new parcels to the City of Ames and Story County conservation. As a boundary line adjustment, no infrastructure improvements are required. Therefore, no requests for waivers of subdivision standards and accompanying covenants are required to approve these rural Plats of Survey. The Plat of Survey will create Parcel M (3.42 acres), Parcel N (76.84 acres), Parcel E (34.52 acres) and Parcel D (5.11 acres). Parcels D and M will be owned by the City of Ames for future water wells and and a water transmission main. Parcels E and N will be owned by Story County Conservation. Approval of this plat of survey will allow the applicant, the City of Ames, to prepare the official plat of survey and submit it to the Planning and Housing Director for review. The Director will sign the plat of survey confirming that it fully conforms to all conditions of approval. The prepared plat of survey may then be signed by the surveyor, who will submit it for recording in the Office of the Story County Recorder. WPC will complete these steps as part of the land purchase process. 349 ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the proposed plat of survey. 2. Decline to approve the plat of survey. 3. Refer this item back to staff for more information. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The proposed parcel configurations and proposed use as City wells and County open space are consistent with the Ames Plan 2040 policies for rural divisions. With approval of the Plat of Survey, the WPC Staff can continue with the plans to acquire the pro perty. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve Alternative No. 1. City Council may recall this land was part of the discussion on September 23 in relation to a proposed adjacent rural subdivision for CTI to support a concrete facility and potentially a future mining operation. WPC staff has since corresponded with Story County noting the City's concerns about any future mining use on the adjacent land impacting the planned water wells. However, no mining permit application has yet been filed with the County for there to be a formal review and response. The property purchase and the issue of extraction on the adjacent property are separate from this plat of survey approval and will be brought before the City Council at a future meeting.

The owner is represented by Renaud Engineering. City staff has been working with the owner over the past several months regarding this project. A key issue in the project is the existence of an active sanitary sewer main running between 219 and 223 Sondrol. The sanitary sewer was installed in 1978 in an established sanitary sewer easement and serves 20 individual properties along Sondrol Avenue. The sanitary sewer is approximately 8 feet deep in the area near the subject properties. The property owner desires to expand the buildings between the existing parcels, which would include constructing over the sanitary sewer easement and active sanitary sewer main. City staff has indicated to BEKKP LLC and Renaud Engineering that construction over the sanitary sewer easement is not desired. Staff has stated that the sanitary sewer and its easement will need to be relocated around the proposed building expansion. There is room on site to allow for the relocation and the elevations for the gravity flow of the sewer are adequate to meet required flow. Staff has recommended the relocation approach for several reasons: The easement was granted to the City to provide access to the sanitary sewer to perform timely maintenance when necessary. Allowing building construction over the sanitary sewer would limit the ability to excavate and repair the sanitary sewer when necessary. The sanitary sewer main serves properties other than where the building expansion is proposed. Those properties could be at risk if the City cannot perform maintenance or improvement activities due to the presence of the building. Past experience with properties where construction was allowed over an active sanitary sewer has resulted in significant costs to the City, including the eventual purchase of affected property. BEKKP LLC does not want to relocate the sanitary sewer due to the soil conditions in the area and the associated cost and time impacts. Sondrol Drive and the adjacent parcels were 354 constructed in an area containing significant fly-ash fill that was placed prior to development in the late 1970s. Soil borings have been performed on the site and found that there is a layer of fly-ash that varies between 5.5 to 8 feet deep. The fly-ash will present challenges in the relocation of the sanitary sewer main. Fly-ash tends to be a very inconsistent material with little to no cohesion, meaning it tends to fall apart easily. Additional precautions and steps will be necessary to ensure stability of any excavations during relocation. In response, BEKKP LLC and Renaud Engineering have developed a detailed proposal to mitigate the risks associated with allowing building expansion over the active sanitary sewer main. The proposal includes potential language included in a draft development agreement. A letter and a copy of the draft development agreement was sent via email to the City Council on September 25, 2026. A brief summary pertaining to the sanitary sewer main is included below: The City would line the existing sanitary sewer with cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) to improve the strength and durability of the pipe. The cost of the lining would be paid by BEKKP LLC. BEKKP LLC would install an 8-inch emergency bypass pumping line through the proposed building. BEKKP LLC would install a high-water sensor and alarm in the downstream manhole to provide notification of a potential sewer backup. The City would perform annual cleaning and televising of the sanitary sewer, the cost of which would be paid by BEKKP LLC. The City would be allowed to remove portions of the building, if necessary, to access the sanitary sewer for maintenance, repair, or replacement, with BEKKP LLC responsible for removal and reconstruction costs. BEKKP LLC would be required to pay additional costs incurred by the City as a result of the building being located over the sanitary sewer in the case that relocation of the sanitary sewer is necessary in the future. BEKKP would sign a waiver of assessment rights. The agreement would run with the land so that future owners are required to follow the mitigation measures noted above. City staff has reviewed the proposal and believes that the City Council should consider whether the mitigation measures and language being suggested is sufficient to address the risks associated with allowing the building expansion over the active sanitary sewer. 355 OPTIONS: OPTION 1: Require the relocation of the sanitary sewer Under Option 1, the City Council would determine that relocation of the sanitary sewer is preferred in comparison with allowing the building expansion over the sanitary sewer. BEKKP LLC would be required to submit engineering plans indicating the location of the new sanitary sewer alignment and submit a plat of survey indicating the new sanitary sewer easement over the relocated sanitary sewer main. Additionally, the new plat of survey would indicate that the existing sanitary sewer easement is to be vacated to allow for expansion of the building. OPTION 2: Direct staff to negotiate a Developer's Agreement with the property owner (BEKKP LLC) Under Option 2, the City Council would determine that the mitigation measures proposed by BEKKP LLC provide a sufficient basis for staff to proceed with development of an agreement that would allow the building expansion over the active sanitary sewer. City staff would work with BEKKP LLC to finalize language for a Developer's Agreement that would be brought back to the City Council for consideration at a future meeting. OPTION 3: Direct staff to negotiate a Developer's Agreement with the property owner (BEKKP LLC) with conditions added by the City Council Option 3 would be similar to Option 2 in that BEKKP LLC would be allowed to expand its building over the top of the active sanitary sewer. The City Council would direct staff to negotiate a Developer's Agreement with the BEKKP LLC, with specific additional requests or responsibilities outlined by the City Council. The Council may desire to have additional risk mitigation efforts added to the agreement. The Council would provide specific direction to staff for incorporation into the Developer's Agreement. STAFF COMMENTS: BEKKP LLC desires to further develop the property at 219/223 Sondrol Avenue and is looking for alternatives to the relocation of the active sanitary sewer that runs between the two properties. A draft development agreement has been presented to the City that is intended to mitigate risk and allow the sanitary sewer to remain in place. Easements are granted to the City so that certain activities benefitting the public can be performed (e.g., installation and operation of a sanitary sewer and ingress/egress to maintain it). In the case of 219/223 Sondrol, the sanitary sewer easement is in place to ensure that there is adequate space for the sanitary sewer main to flow and provide service to adjacent properties. In contemporary practice, the City does not allow permanent structures to be constructed over top of easements or utilities. This prohibition is intentional, as it preserves access for future maintenance and capital improvement activities. 356 One modern exception where construction was allowed in an easement occurred in 2024 at 302 Sondrol, across the street from 219/223 Sondrol. In the 302 Sondrol case, a building expansion was requested over a storm sewer, not a sanitary sewer. Easement language was prepared that included a number of unique provisions including: The building slab be reinforced over top of the storm sewer. The City maintains the right within the easement area to construct, reconstruct, cover over, clean up, operate, use, maintain, and repair the sewer. At the City's sole discretion, it may be determined that the existing storm sewer needs to be relocated from under the building. The property owner is solely responsible for all costs for relocation and abandoning the existing sewer. The City is protected from liability from any damage to the building due to the storm sewer. This easement agreement is binding upon all successors and assigns. Staff permitted the construction over the storm sewer at 302 Sondrol because the consequence of failure in the case of the storm sewer was much less impactful to the adjacent properties. In the event of a failure, water may pond on the road for a short time, but would eventually seek adjacent storm sewer intakes and in a worst case scenario could temporarily be pumped to the adjacent detention area within 300 feet. The majority of the risk is borne by the property owner at 302 Sondrol. In the case of 219/223 Sondrol, the utility in question is a sanitary sewer. The consequence of failure could impact up to 20 properties. The most common mode of failure in a sanitary sewer main is pipe collapse or obstruction. These failures may require that the pipe be readily accessible and excavated in order to be repaired. Additionally, because sanitary sewer is more stringently regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) compared to storm water, backups and illicit discharges are required to be reported which impacts the City's collection and treatment permit with the Iowa D N R . The risk with the requested 219/223 Sondrol encroachment extends beyond the subject property to additional properties served by the sanitary sewer and could reflect negatively on the City's compliance with DNR requirements. Many of the conditions proposed by the owner are intended to mitigate these risks by structurally strengthening the existing sanitary sewer main and providing additional bypass piping, monitoring, and cleaning. These measures are proposed to be paid by BEKKP LLC. The draft development agreement also includes provisions that allow the City to remove the building, if necessary, to perform maintenance or capital improvements. While this provision may provide some relief as to the ability to access the sanitary sewer main, staff remains concerned about the practicality and expediency of removing the building if 357 access is necessary for maintenance or emergency repairs. Additionally, if a failure occurs in the future, the property owners, City staff, and City Council members are likely to be different than those involved today. Staff is concerned that the provisions proposed today could prove burdensome in the future, or that a future owner may claim ignorance of the duties imposed in the agreement or the City's rights to enforce it. Similar situations where construction occurred decades ago above sanitary sewer infrastructure have resulted in substantial costs to the City in recent times, including the need to purchase property following failures of sanitary sewer mains and private services. Staff's concern is therefore not limited to the immediate construction proposal, but also the City's ability to access, maintain, repair, and ultimately replace this public infrastructure over the long term, in addition to the expectations that may be placed on the City by a future owner to address any impacts to the private property constructed over the sanitary sewer. If the City Council concurs with staff's concerns regarding long-term access to and maintenance of the sanitary sewer main, it should select Option 1, which would require relocation of the sanitary sewer. If the City Council determines that the mitigation measures proposed by BEKKP LLC sufficiently address these concerns and that the remaining risks associated with allowing the building expansion over the active sanitary sewer are acceptable, Option 2 or Option 3 would be appropriate. Under Option 3, the City Council would identify any additional mitigation measures or conditions it would like staff to incorporate into the proposed developer's agreement.

CITY OF AMES, IOWA By: Mayor Attest: City Clerk BEKKP, LLC By: Its: 363 -5- EXHIBIT A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY [Legal description of the Property to be inserted.] EXHIBIT B PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN 364 -6- 365 -7- 366 September 25, 2026 Honorable Mayor & City Council City of Ames 515 Clark Avenue Ames, Iowa 50010 RE: Proposed Developers Agreement between the City of Ames and Quick Performance 219 and 223 Sondrol Avenue, Ames, Iowa Mayor & Council: On behalf of Quick Performance, we are requesting Council consideration of the attached Developers Agreement. The City Staff have been unwilling to allow Quick Performance to connect 219 and 223 Sondrol without approval of the City Council. The principal issue is building over the City’s sanitary sewer easement between the two properties. Public Works has been reluctant to allow a building over the public sanitary sewer. Quick Performance, as outlined in the Developers Agreement, is adding provisions to a new sanitary sewer easement to eliminate Public Work’s concerns. A little background on Quick Performance: Quick Performance is one of the leading manufactures of drivetrain rearends, parts and components, not only in the country but worldwide. They produce complete rear axle assemblies for all sorts of applications, from 4000HP drag cars, hot rods, off-road and daily driven applications. Quick Performance started in Gilbert, Iowa in 1984 by Doug DeMoss. The current owner, Brydon Papenberg, started working at Quick Performance in 2001 during his four years of attending Iowa State University. In 2007 Quick Performance moved into their first location on 303 Sondrol. Mr. Papenberg took over ownership in 2014 with approximately 14 employees. At the present time Quick Performance now has 90 employees, 8 buildings on Sondrol, a shop & warehouse in Gilbert, two properties with five buildings on East Lincoln Way, and a machine shop in Hiawatha, IA. Quick Performance continues to grow and with this growth comes the need for more space and accommodations. Quick Performance wants to keep their operations centered on Sondrol Avenue in Ames. The Developers Agreement outlines the work that needs to be done to allow for building over the City’s sewer. It has Quick Performance paying for preventative maintenance of the sewer line. The sewer line only serves Sondrol Avenue and will never be extended to buildings outside of Sondrol Avenue. Most significant excavation, if required, would be at manholes that are in the public right of way and do not need an easement. The developer’s agreement outlines considerable improvements to the existing sewer easement. All maintenance costs are Quick Performance’s and not the City. The mechanism for Quick Performance’s payment of those costs is included in the agreement and will be in the final sanitary sewer easement. Quick Performance has reviewed all the alternatives available to reroute the sewer but finds this enhanced easement to be the most attractive of all the options. Having more integrated warehouse 367 space on Sondrol is the best solution for Quick Performance’s ability to expand quickly and maintain its operations in Ames. Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to completing this work quickly as Quick Performance would like to build as soon as possible. Sincerely, Scott Renaud Scott Renaud, P.E.

To address these issues, amendments must be made to an existing pre-annexation agreement that currently requires the developer to construct a lane widening with intersection improvements at Cameron and GW Carver at their sole cost. On September 23, City Council referred the developers' request for direction regarding the removal of the their responsibility for road improvements, and instead provide a $200,000 contribution to the City for any type of road improvement that would be completed by the City due to the timing of the project (see attached letter). City Council has provided direction to staff on two occasions regarding this issue and how to proceed with a development agreement amendment. The first was Council's support in December 2025 of $1,000,000 of a TIF rebate from the commercial properties to help pay for the estimated $1,200,000 of the developers' expense for the cost of the road widening improvements. Later, the City Council decided to evaluate a city-led roundabout project that included developer funding and other funding sources in lieu of the developer widening and signal project. At the August 11 City Council meeting, Public Works reviewed the difference in costs and construction needs of the two road improvements. Public Works supported the roundabout project as a City project because of the coordination required between multiple projects and the potential of a state grant. Public Works indicated that the lane widening project was not of the same magnitude and would not be eligible for a state grant. The lane widening and traffic signal could be implemented in phases between the Bluffs project and the planned Greenbriar project by developers without the City undertaking the project. While the project could be managed and completed by the City as a complete widening and signal project at one time, the burden of priorities related to other projects and cost risk did not warrant the City taking on the project. The City Council decided on August 11 to move forward with with a grant application for a construction of a roundabout in lieu of the developer lane widening project. The roundabout project is a projected as a higher cost project than the lane widening and signal and has a 369 combination of planned funding sources from Ames, Story County, developer, and grant funding. At that time, the developer pledged to contribute $200,000 for the roundabout in addition to their prior traffic signal contribution. However, since the project has not yet been awarded a grant and is not scheduled for final design and bidding until fall 2027, the project is not a certainty in lieu of the developer lane widening option with a developer TIF rebate. Based upon the August 11 Council review and direction regarding the roundabout option vs. a lane widening option, staff proceeded to draft a development agreement that accounted for both options through October 2027. The draft agreement provided to the developer included the following basic structure: 1. If the roundabout option is selected by the City Council, the developer would provide $200,000 of additional funding and be relieved of the roadway widening option. -or- 2. If City Council decides at any point not to move ahead with the roundabout project, the developer would then be responsible for the lane widening project at their full cost within two years. The developer would then receive up to $1 million of a TIF rebate from the commercial properties over ten years (20 payments). 3. Minimum assessment agreements would be required for the three commercial properties in the Bluffs subdivision. The proposed minimum values are $1 million of building improvement values for each of the smaller commercial lots and $2 million of building improvement values for the larger lot planned for a Kwik Star. 4. Dedication of ROW for roundabout at no cost to the City; no dedication required for a lane widening. OPTIONS: Option 1: City Project for Either Roundabout or Lane Widening and Signal If City Council agrees with the developer's request, an amendment would be drafted for payment of the additional $200,000 to the City for roadway improvements with payment due at the time of the approval of an agreement. Payment at that time ensures collection of the fund in timely manner and allows the City to accrue interest towards future costs. The actual timing of implementation and the scope of the improvements would be up to the City. Additionally, the agreement would still require the minimum assessment agreement for the commercial lots to ensure that valuable development described by the developer does occur and that the City has a financial basis to support use of TIF for financing of road improvements. Option 2: City Project for the Roundabout Only or Developer Lane Widening If City Council agrees that City resources are best utilized only for the roundabout project, staff would proceed with a draft agreement that includes the four terms described above. The developer would not be delayed from completing any of Bluffs lots sale or site improvements, but they would not know if they must undertake the road widening project until as late as fall 2027. 370 Option 3: Defer Action on the Request until January 2027 The developer seeks certainty at this time in order to complete a land sale to Kwik Star in 2026 and to plan for development of a housing project on Everest Drive in 2027. However, the City does will not know about the next step in the roundabout project until the end of this year when the grant awards are announced by the state. If the grant award is not approved, it is unlikely the City and County would continue with the roundabout project and the developer could then commence the road widening project in 2027. STAFF COMMENTS: Comprehensive corridor improvements are always desirable, but costs and timing are significant factors when prioritizing road projects in the CIP. The roundabout project is consistent with a type of regional project that is beyond the control of one developer and is best suited to being a City project. However, lane widenings have been completed successfully in phases by developers and do not necessarily warrant being a City project. Staff believes the Council would only undertake Option 1 as requested if it believed there was additional value to the City of one comprehensive project for the corridor regardless of it being a roundabout or a lane widening. City Council may also believe that the delay to the developer of waiting for a final decision is detrimental to Council's housing development goals for the City that were the original impetus for granting an incentive to the developer. ATTACHMENT(S): Clarity on The Bluffs Developer Agmt.pdf 371 1 Hall, Renee From:Luke Jensen <luke@resgi.com> Sent:Friday, September 18, 2026 12:00 PM To:City Council and Mayor Cc:Diekmann, Kelly; kfriedrich@friedrich-realty.com Subject:Clarity on The Bluffs Developer Agreement Amendment [External Email] Mayor and Council, We are writing to request Council direction on a clarification to our developer agreement amendment that will allow us to move forward without further delay. As background, we have already contributed $135,000 toward intersection improvements, originally paid toward the signal option. The Council subsequently approved an additional developer-paid $200,000 contribution toward intersection improvements. We believed this combined $335,000 covered either the roundabout or the signal option. We have since learned that the ultimate outcome is pending the final intersection design, which will not be determined until all funding sources are identified and bids are received/awarded - a process that may take several more months. We have discussed this directly with staff, and they understand our feeling of being in limbo. They do not object to the outline we are proposing; however, they indicated they need Council's direction before the y can move forward. The clarification we are requesting is simple: that our total contribution of $335,000 – comprised of the $135,000 already paid toward the signal option and the additional $200,000 subsequently approved to be confirmed as full and final satisfaction of our intersection improvement obligation, regardless of which design the city ultimately selects. This does not require the Council to make any decision about the intersection design itself, nor does it affect the ongoing funding and bidding process for the project as a whole. It simply allows our specific obligation to be closed out now, rather than remaining contingent on a timeline outside of our control. Since timing is critical for us to proceed with capital outlays that should be directed toward vertical construction of homes, townhomes and apartments, we would ask that the Council provide staff with direction to finalize the amendment on this basis at the earliest opportunity. We are happy to provide any additional information the Council may find helpful, and staff can speak further to the details of the proposal.

The Council directed staff to continue with recycling services as-is and to prepare modifications to the recycling program ordinance allowing alley-adjacent customers to opt-out of paying the mandatory monthly fee in limited circumstances. The opt-out eligibility criteria discussed at the August 25 meeting were (all five must be met to be eligible): 1. The property must abut an alley, 2. The property must not have a driveway access that goes to a street frontage, 3. The property must receive garbage collection (if any) in the alley, 4. The property must have a physical impediment that does not allow access from the alley of the property to the front of the property (e.g., a fence with no gate, landscaping with no pathway, zero lot line building, etc.). The absence of a paved or establish path does not meet this criteria (a cart can be moved through a grass side yard), and 5. The nearest property line must be more than 60 feet from the curb line of the nearest street frontage, measured along the alley (this is approximately the median distance from the garage door to the curb of a random sample of Ames residential properties). In the time since the August 25 meeting, staff has closely evaluated each of the 913 properties that are in alley-adjacent blocks. Staff used aerial and street-level photography and conducted in-person investigations where necessary to better understand the potential impacts and to be prepared for questions from individual property owners. Based on the five criteria originally discussed on August 25, only three of the 913 affected properties would be eligible to opt-out. Because the criteria would result in so few properties being eligible, staff is recommending that the City Council consider modifying the criteria before the draft ordinance is prepared to provide additional latitude for customers whose properties present challenges to curbside service. Staff is now recommending modified criteria to be eligible to opt-out of the curbside recycling program and its associated fee: 374 1. The property must abut an alley, 2. The property must not have a primary driveway access that goes to a street frontage ("primary" means the only driveway if only one driveway exists, or the driveway connecting to the garage if more than one exists), and 3. The property must not be receiving recycling collection service in an alley. Removing items 3 through 5 from the original criteria would eliminate concerns regarding how physical impediments are interpreted (such as slopes or landscaping materials), whether access paths currently exist, and whether those paths would need to be created and maintained during the winter. There are a handful of affected properties that have driveways both on the street-side and the alley-side. Adding the concept of a primary driveway (one that leads to a garage or generally serves as the location where vehicles are parked) allows each property to be evaluated based on how it is currently utilized rather than on access scenarios that may not reflect the practical use of the property. The addition of clarifying that the property must not be receiving recycling collection service in an alley is intended for those alley customers where Aspen has agreed to collect recycling in the alley with their Automated Side Loading equipment. Those properties would not be eligible to opt-out of the monthly fee. The elimination of the garbage collection, physical impediment, and distance requirements would expand the number of properties that could qualify for the opt-out from 3 to as many as 333 of the 913 properties. This more closely aligns with the proportion of properties that staff had originally envisioned would be eligible for opt- out. Additionally, prior to the August 25 meeting, staff and/or City Council had received communication from 27 alley-adjacent properties expressing concern about the recycling pickup location. Under the modified criteria shown above, 24 of those 27 properties would have the opportunity to opt out if they so desired. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Direct staff to prepare a draft ordinance allowing recycling opt-out if the property: a) abuts an alley, b) does not have a primary driveway access that goes to a street frontage, and 3) is not receiving recycling collection service in the alley (estimated 333 opt-out eligible properties). Once prepared, staff may request completing the readings of the ordinance in an expedited fashion to avoid further delay in offering the opt-out options. 2. Direct staff to prepare a draft ordinance allowing recycling opt-out based on the five criteria discussed August 25 (estimated 3 opt-out eligible properties). 3. Direct staff to prepare a draft ordinance using another combination of eligibility criteria as identified by City Council. 4. Refer this item back to staff for further information. 375 CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: After completing a detailed property-by-property review, the original criteria suggested by staff in August to allow for alley-adjacent customers to opt-out of the recycling program and fee in certain circumstances resulted in very few properties being eligible to opt-out. Staff believes a modified set of criteria more closely meets the intent of the City Council to provide relief from paying the fee in circumstances where participation in the curbside program is truly impractical. The revised criteria allows for an opt-out for the majority of alley-adjacent customers who have contacted the City with concerns about the pickup location. Directing staff to modify the language will allow staff to bring back a revised ordinance for consideration at a future date. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1 as described above. ATTACHMENT(S): Alley Recycling CAF August 25 2026.pdf Draft Ordinance Recycling Opt-out.pdf 376 ITEM #:37 DATE:08-25-26 DEPT:PW SUBJECT:UPDATE ON RESIDENTIAL CURBSIDE RECYCLING COLLECTION - ALLEYS COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: On March 10, 2026, the City Council awarded a contract to Aspen Waste Systems of Iowa, of Ames, IA to begin residential curbside recycling collection. Service began on July 2, 2026 to all single-family and multi-family properties of up to four or fewer units. This totals 13,461 properties in the City of Ames. Under the contract, the City pays Aspen for each eligible property whether the household chooses to participate in the program or not. Therefore, the fee charged by the City to the eligible properties ($7.75 per month) is likewise charged whether the household participates or not. Aspen relies on the use of automated side-loading (ASL) trucks for the program. This equipment utilizes a robotic arm to reach the recycling cart, lift, and tip it into the hopper of the truck. The cart is then lowered and replaced at the curbside. This allows the ASL trucks to be operated by a single driver and provide highly cost-effective service delivery. In comparison, garbage service in the community is provided by separate private haulers. Those haulers that collect garbage in alleys use rear-load collection trucks for that purpose. These trucks can be significantly smaller and rely on both a driver and helper,. The helper physically moves the carts from curbside to the semi-automated lifter on the back of the truck, then returns the emptied cart back to the curb. As the recycling collection program began in July 2026, it became apparent that servicing the recycling carts was an issue for customers whose properties were located along alleys. After carts were delivered, these customers were instructed to place their carts along the street side for collection (not in the alley). To date, staff has received concerns from 27 residents about not being able to have their recycling carts serviced in an alley. An additional eight customers who have alley access have voluntarily chosen to opt-out of the collection program and have had their cart removed. These include residents that have reached out to City Council members in addition to staff. ALLEY CHARACTERISTICS AND CHALLENGES There are 82 city blocks that have alley access. These 82 blocks contain roughly 1,000 total properties. The type of access varies from property-to-property. Even in the same alley there can be a mix of properties that have: 1 377 1. Alley access, but no street access, 2. Street access, but no physical alley access (the property does not physically abut the alley), 3. Street access, but no practical alley access (the property touches the alley, but the garage faces the street and the yard is separated from the garage by fencing or landscaping), or 4. Both alley access and street access. The result is that there are only a few alleys where "all street" or "all alley" service will be satisfactory to the residents. Thus, finding a solution that not only meets the needs and preference of all customers while balancing the efficiency and cost for collection is difficult. Additionally, operating the recycling trucks in some of the alleys is physically impossible or is significantly challenging to do so safely. These physical and safety issues include: 1. Most of the alleys have overhead power and communication lines, which interfere with the ability of the trucks to safely lift the recycling containers. 2. Many alleys are also only slightly wider than the collection trucks and contain encroachments such as fences, landscaping, or temporary obstructions such as parked vehicles. 3. Some blocks have T-shaped alleys, where one segment of the alley continues through to the next street but the other segment dead ends without enough room to turn the truck, thus requiring dangerous backing maneuvers. 4. Some of the alleys are complete dead-ends, resulting in the same issue with backing the large vehicle up. EXPLORATION OF SOLUTIONS: With the noted concerns regarding alley access, staff engaged with Aspen to find methods to serve the alley customers under the terms of the collection contract. The contract does contemplate that there will be properties that are required to be picked up in alleys. Aspen's RFP proposal also indicated that most alleys would be able to be served with their equipment. Following the initial discussions, Aspen has agreed to collect from the alleys in 13 of the 82 blocks where alleys exist. These are primarily alleys that have been more recently reconstructed (and therefore benefit from a better-defined pavement area and fewer encroachments) or those that are newer and, therefore, meet modern alley width standards. Aspen will utilize its ASL trucks to do so. Since the program start in July, City staff and Aspen have walked or driven each of the alleys, tested driving large trucks through select alleys, and reviewed aerial and street-level photography to identify driveway locations and obstructions. Although Staff and Aspen have worked to find solutions to address the remaining alleys, there remain concerns about whether Aspen can serve all of the remaining alley-adjacent customers from the alleys due to inefficiencies in routing, additional time required due to physical constraints of equipment, and 2 378 risk/damage to property that is likely to occur from operating in the alleys. It is important to note that during these discussions, Aspen has remained engaged in finding solutions that meet the needs of residents. They continue to be an active partner in working through the challenges. Additionally, it has become clear through the discussions that providing a blended service (redundant alley collection and street collection on the same block to match all possible resident preferences) for all 82 affected blocks would be infeasible due to the logistical and cost impacts. Staff is now presenting four alternatives from which the Council could choose to address alley-adjacent customers. Once an approach is identified, staff will work customer-by-customer to communicate cart location options that are acceptable for pickup. The four alternatives are: Alternative 1: CONTINUE WITH CURBSIDE SERVICE AS-IS (Street-side only, except for the 13 blocks where Aspen can serve the alleys with ASL trucks) No change to any current service locations (all service remains curbside except for 13 alleys that are currently serviced) No change to the contracted price with Aspen No improvement for the 27 properties that have expressed concern that their recycling should or must be collected in the alley. Alley-adjacent residents would need to find a way to place their cart at the curbside. This could either be in front of their house or they could bring their cart down the alley to the right of way where the alley meets the street. However, t here are concerns this approach could continue to be challenging during winter months when the right of way is used for snow storage. There are likely more than the 27 known properties that have alley concerns. However, by observation over the past two months, many properties that do have alley access are continuing to bring carts to the curbside for service. This option would provide the most predictable service outcome and consistency from the start of the program as there would be no changes to the location of the service for any property in the program. Alternative 2: APPROACH THE ISSUE IN THE SAME MANNER AS ALTERNATIVE 1, BUT IDENTIFY LIMITED CRITERIA TO ALLOW FOR A FULL OPT-OUT OF THE FEE No change to any current service locations (all service remains curbside except for 13 alleys that are currently serviced) No change to the contracted price with Aspen No improvement for the 27 properties that have expressed concern that their recycling should or must be collected in the alley. Staff prepares an amendment to the curbside recycling ordinance that would allow for certain alley-adjacent customers to opt out of the program and paying the mandatory $7.75 per month recycling fee. The opt-out of paying the fee would provide relief for customers who do not have a reasonable way to participate in the program, even through taking the container a short distance to the nearest street frontage. Staff proposes that the only properties that 3 379 would be eligible to opt out of the fee would be those that meet the following requirements: 1. The property must abut an alley. 2. The property must not have a driveway access that goes to a street frontage. 3. The property must receive garbage collection (if any) in the alley. 4. The property must have a physical impediment that does not allow access from the alley of the property to the front of the property (e.g., a fence with no gate, landscaping with no pathway, zero lot line building, etc.). The absence of a paved or establish path does not meet this criteria (a cart can be moved through a grass side yard). 5. The nearest property line must be more than 60 feet from the curb line of the nearest street frontage, measured along the alley (this is approximately the median distance from the garage door to the curb of a random sample of Ames residential properties). Staff believes that this evaluation would provide a equitable review for those properties that simply cannot be serviced at the curbside due to limitations in the layout of the property. It is important to note that the City remains liable to Aspen for the payment of the contracted monthly collection fee for each eligible customer. This amount is $4.00 per month in the first year of the contract, escalating annually. Therefore, the loss of $7.75 in revenue plus the payment obligation of $4.00 to Aspen results in a net cost to the recycling program of $141 per household per year. Staff is not certain how many eligible properties would exercise the right to opt out of the fee. For illustrative purposes, of the approximately 1,000 alley-adjacent customers, roughly half are primarily accessed via the alleys and not the street frontage. Assuming half again of those (250) met the requirements and requested exclusions, staff estimates the net loss to the recycling program to be $35,250 in the first year. Alternative 3: CONTINUE WITH CURBSIDE SERVICE AND ADD IN TARGETED ALLEY SERVICE 13 alleys that are currently serviced in the alley remain served via the alley An additional 29 alleys convert from curbside to alley service All other blocks remain curbside only Cost increase of $40,383 for each year of the Aspen contract Improvement for 19 of the 27 properties that have expressed concern that their recycling should or must be collected in the alley. Aspen would use its larger ASL trucks to serve these additional alleys. The majority of these alleys run north-to-south. As such there would not be curbside service on those blocks that have alley service. However, because of the manner in which Aspen's trucks are routed across town, any property fronting on an east-west street would continue to receive service curbside. Corner lots that do not have alley access would be asked to place carts on the east-west street side of their property in order to continue receiving curbside service. Additionally, there would be at least 15 properties that would be asked to place their carts in a pickup location that is one to two properties away in order to be serviced either curbside or in the alley. This is necessary because there is a small number of lots that front on a north-south street but are in the middle of a block, and do not abut 4 380 the alley (see attached presentation for examples). Staff would reach out individually to those properties to aid in identifying locations for curbside service. There are likely properties in these blocks identified for alley service that are currently satisfied with their curbside service and would not want to switch to alley service. This may result in creating an even larger number of complaints by converting to all alley- service as opposed to the current all-street service! Staff does not have an estimate as to the number of those properties. Eight properties that have communicated with the City about a lack of alley access would still not have alley access under this alternative. This is primarily due to one of two factors: either 1) the alley is a dead-end or tee that does not allow for the ASL equipment to operate all the way through the alley without a dangerous backing operation, or 2) the property is the only location within that block requiring alley service, whereas all the neighbors in that block have street access. As in Alternative 2, the Council could create criteria in conjunction with this alternative to exclude some individual properties from the monthly fee for the residential curbside recycling program. Alternative 3 would require a contract amendment with Aspen for an additional cost of $0.25 per customer per month. The increased fee applies to all eligible properties (13,461 citywide), resulting in a cost increase of $40,383 for each year of the contract. The additional expense can be absorbed into the current $7.75 per month fee structure and would not require an immediate change of recycling rates charged to residents. Staff believes that rates can remain stable for several years before potentially needing adjustment to maintain adequate fund balance to cover program expenses. This is, however, highly dependent on fuel costs, which are variable with the market during the term of the contract and which are currently high. Removing some vegetation and other obstructions, and trimming trees is likely necessary for this alternative to work. The majority of this vegetation is located on private property, where trimming is the responsibility of each property owner. Staff would need to work with each property owner on a case-by-case basis, which may delay the start of service in the alleys. ALTERNATIVE 4: PROVIDE ALLEY-ONLY SERVICE IN ALL BLOCKS WITH ALLEYS All 82 blocks with alleys convert to alley-only service Cost increase of $80,766 for each year of the Aspen contract Improvement for all 27 properties that have expressed concern that their recycling should or must be collected in the alley. Aspen would add rear-load equipment to its service delivery, which would be used only for the purpose of servicing the alleys. Because the contract requires reliable collection, Aspen would need to dedicate a backup rear-load truck to recycling collection. As described earlier, rear-load service is more labor- and cost-intensive than automated side-loader service. Similar to Alternative 3, the east-west streets would continue to be serviced at the curbside. 5 381 Any corner lots would need to place carts along an east-west street. No streetside service would occur on north-south streets. This alternative would be able to service all 27 of the properties that reached out regarding alley service. This approach, however, would change the service location for at least 400 of the approximately 1,000 properties that are adjacent to alleys. Those properties would need to find a way to move their carts to the alley or to a nearby east- west street in order to be serviced. As with Alternative 3, this may result in creating more problems than it resolves! Alternative 4 would require a contract amendment with Aspen for an additional cost of $0.50 per customer per month. The increased fee applies to all eligible properties (13,461 citywide), resulting in a cost increase of $80,766 for each year of the contract. The additional expense would likely require an adjustment to recycling rates in Year 2 or Year 3 of the program to maintain an adequate fund balance. There would also likely be additional vegetative maintenance required of adjacent property owners, though not as extensive because rear-load trucks are smaller when compared to an ASL truck. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Direct staff to continue with recycling services as-is. 2. Direct staff to continue with recycling services as-is and to prepare modifications to the recycling program ordinance allowing alley-adjacent customers to opt out of paying the mandatory monthly fee in limited circumstances (estimated loss of up to $35,250 annually to the recycling program). 3. Approve a change order with Aspen Waste Services of Iowa in the amount of $40,383 to provide alley service for 29 additional alley-adjacent blocks. 4. Approve a change order with Aspen Waste Services of Iowa in the amount of $80,766 to provide alley service only for all 82 alley-adjacent blocks. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Providing the curbside recycling service to customers on city blocks that contain alleys has proven to be a significant logistical challenge. There is no consistency from block to block regarding the residential properties that have access to alleys, access to the street frontage, or both. Serving these customers in each of their preferred locations (alley or street frontage) would result in a substantial number of increased collection truck trips. This, in turn, would 1) increase costs to the overall program in a manner that would necessitate premature customer rate increases and 2) present safety and property protection challenges. The solutions involving conversion of some or all of the alley-adjacent blocks may address the concerns received to date from several dozen residents. However, staff is concerned that such a conversion would generate a new batch of communications from customers that are satisfied with the current collection approach (streetside) and become dissatisfied with the 6 382 alternative (alley collection). The approach that maximizes the potential customer satisfaction without creating significant risks for the overall program costs or creating a new set of dissatisfied customers is the approach described in Alternative 2. Staff will continue to regularly meet with Aspen to discuss ways in which the recycling service can be effectively and efficiently delivered to residents. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 2, as described above.

Haila, Mayor First Reading: Second Reading: Third Reading: Passed on: I, Renee Hall, City Clerk of the City of Ames, Iowa, hereby certify that the above and foregoing is a true copy of Ordinance No. ______________, passed by the City Council of said City at the meeting held on ______________________and signed by the Mayor on ___________________________, and published in the Ames Tribune on ___________________________. ________________________________ Renee Hall, City Clerk 385 ITEM #:44 DATE:10-13-26 DEPT:FIRE SUBJECT:SIGNAGE FOR CHURCHES IN RESIDENTIAL ZONES COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: At the September 8, 2026, City Council meeting, t he Council referred to staff a letter from Jason Dietzenbach requesting a text amendment regarding allowable signage for religious institutions in residential zones. A memo from staff regarding the issue was reviewed at the September 22, 2026, meeting and the City Council asked for the item to be placed on a future agenda. The memo, which for comparison purposes described the Neighborhood Commercial (NC) and Convenience General Services (CGS) standards for signs, is attached. If the City Council is interested in a text amendment to allow a greater amount of signage area for use types listed in Sec. 21.121(2) including schools, churches and fraternities/sororities, staff recommends addressing a few specific concerns: 1. Lot Size. Some smaller lots may not need the extra sign square footage. Lots that exceed four acres tend to have a need more proportionate to the size of the lot. Staff recommends creating a differentiation based on lot size rather than the lot's location on a non-arterial or arterial street. 2. Lighting. Digital signs have become more popular, but may not be compatible with the residential neighborhood in many instances. The external lighting standard for the NC zone is most compatible with residential areas. Staff recommends the Council provide specific direction for staff to bring back standards for electronic message signs at a future Council meeting instead of trying to incorporate them into this amendment for size. 3. Sign Height. Staff recommends limiting the sign height on buildings so that any external illumination would not cause concerns for neighboring properties. A standard of 16 feet in height or no taller than the roof line of the structure, whichever is less, would be sufficient. To encompass these concerns, staff recommends a specific motion including these items. For example: "Utilize the CGS Zoning standards for sites greater than four acres if the signs are not internally illuminated (this includes electronic message signs) and the sign is not above the roof line of the structure or 16 feet above grade, whichever is less." This recommendation would allow for 34 square foot signs on all streets and up to 70 square feet along an arterial street. 386 The recommendation above would allow the sign proposed by Lutheran Church of Hope of up to 70 square feet to be permitted. It would continue to limit sites with smaller lot areas of less than 4 acres to the currently allowed 16 square feet. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Direct staff to draft a text amendment that utilizes the CGS Zoning standards for sites greater than four acres if the signs are not internally illuminated (this includes electronic message signs) and the sign is not above the roof line of the structure or 16 feet above grade, whichever is less. 2. Direct staff to draft a text amendment that utilizes the NC Zoning standards for sites greater than four acres if the signs are not internally illuminated (this includes electronic message signs) and the sign is not above the roof line of the structure or 16 feet above grade, whichever is less. This approach would limit the HOPE church to a maximum of 34 square feet, which is less than the 70 square feet that is requested. 3. Direct staff to return with proposed standards regarding digital displays and sign lighting in residential zones. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The standards within the Sign Code are very dated and most have not been updated since the 1990s. Staff is supportive of adopting the standards that currently apply to Neighborhood Commercial and Convenience General Services zones into the Sign Code to apply to all building uses listed in Sec. 21.121(2) (public, educational, charitable, fraternal or religious institutions, or privately owned parks, when such signs are located on the premises of such institution) when the uses are on larger sites. However, staff believes s maller sites, such as typical fraternity and sorority sites, do not warrant larger signage. In addition, staff believes that there is a need to add limitations to the digital displays within residential zones. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve either Alternative No. 1 or No. 2 and Alternative No. 3, as described above. ATTACHMENT(S): 8. S. Van Meeteren - Lutheran Church of Hope Sign.pdf 2. J. Dietzenbach - Text Amendment for sign at Lutheran Church of Hope.pdf 387 MEMO 515.239.5153 main 515.232.5261 fax 515 Clark Ave. P.O. Box 811 Ames, IA 50010 www.CityofAmes.org Fire Department Inspections To: Cc: Mayor and City Council Kelly Diekmann, Planning and Housing Director From: Date: Sara Van Meeteren, Building Official September 16, 2026 Subject: Lutheran Church of Hope Sign At the September 8, 2026 Council Meeting, the City Council referred a letter from Jason Dietzenbach regarding signage at Lutheran Church of Hope. The letter requested a text amendment that would allow larger signage for their church at 5001 Lincoln Way. This site is zoned residential. Their rationale for changing the signage allowance is the overall size of the church and its location along an arterial street. The City primarily regulates signage standards within Chapter 21 of the Ames Municipal Code which prohibits signage in residential zoning districts with the following exceptions: Sec. 21.121 On Premises Signage. For all signs subject to the sign regulations, in agricultural, commercial and industrial zoning districts in the City of Ames except in the S-HM District, there may be three (3) square feet of signage for each foot of street frontage. Signs in the Planned Zoning districts are as permitted on the approved site plan. Where any side of a building abuts on an alley, only painted on wall signs shall be permitted on the side abutting the alley. Such sign shall be calculated as part of total permissible signage. For all signs subject to the sign regulations in residential zoning districts in the City of Ames, only the following signs are permitted: 1. Real estate signs not exceeding six (6) square feet in area, which advertise the sale, rental, or lease of the premises upon which said signs are located only. 2. Signs, including bulletin boards, which are not over sixteen (16) square feet in area for public, educational, charitable, fraternal or religious institutions, or privately-owned parks, when such signs are located on the premises of such institution. 3. Signs denoting only the name and profession/business or an occupant in a commercial building, public institutional building, or dwelling house and not exceeding two (2) square feet in area. 4. Single sign denoting the architect, engineer or contractor when placed upon work under construction and not exceeding thirty-two (32) square feet in area. 388 5. Memorial signs or tablets, names of buildings, and date of erection when cut into any masonry surface or when constructed of bronze or other noncombustible materials. 6. Publicly owned street name signs, traffic control signs, legal notices, railroad crossing signs, danger and temporary warning or emergency signs; and emblems, names, logos, and symbols on motor vehicles and equipment being used for purposes other than the display of signs or advertising devices. 7. Public service signs which give only directions in and out or signs which provide only information about directing people to ancillary facilities such as parking, entrance, etc. 8. Temporary or portable sign. 9. Subdivision development signs..... 10. Residential subdivision entrance signs..... 11. Multiple-family development entrance signs.... 12. Commercial signage for mixed-use developments... The standards within the Sign Code are very dated and most have not been updated since the 1990's. Therefore, staff has reviewed comparable sign standards that are part of recent Zoning Ordinance changes related to compatibility with mixed use or adjacent residential neighborhoods. For example, Neighborhood Commercial (NC) and Convenience General Services (CGS) include and/or abut residential zones and have specific standards written into the Zoning that are more restrictive than the base standards in the Sign Code. The standards for these zones try to protect the abutting single-family homes from nuisances, such as lighting, that can result from commercial signage. 389 These standards are summarized in the table below: The sign shown in the applicant’s letter is a total of 66.65 square feet which is under the maximum allowed 70 square feet in CGS, but not the maximum of 32 square feet allowed in NC. Note that one of the most significant issues related to signs and their size is the lighting of signs, which is not addressed in the sign code, but is addressed in the Zoning Ordinance for residential compatibility. Staff would be supportive of adopting the standards that currently apply to NC or CGS into the Sign Code to apply to all building uses listed in Sec. 21.121(2) (public, educational, charitable, fraternal or religious institutions, or privately owned parks, when such signs are located on the premises of such institution) when the uses are on larger sites. Smaller sites such as typical fraternity and sorority sites likely do not warrant larger signage. There may also need to be details about placement on upper levels of buildings to address the compatibility of larger wall signs on a building. Over the last few years, staff have received complaints regarding the brightness of signs in residential areas. Council may want to adopt more restrictions for or 390 prohibit electronic message signs and/or illuminated wall signs in these zones to help keep the amount of lighting and glare to a minimum. Staff recommends this issue be addressed regardless of whether or not there is an interest in allowing for larger signs in residential zoning districts. If the City Council is interested in changing the sign standards to accommodate the proposed sign at the Lutheran Church of Hope, they should direct staff to draft a text amendment that is the same as the zones listed above, a mix of the zones listed above, or require staff to do additional research creating alternative standards. Additionally, staff believe that addressing lighting allowances, especially in reference to electronic message boards in and near residential zoning districts, is a necessary update to the sign code. 391 avecdesignbuild.com 131 Main Street, Ames, IA 50010 515.233.4641 August 28, 2026 Mayor Haila and City Council City of Ames PO Box 811 515 Clark Avenue Ames, IA 50010 MayorCouncil@cityofames.org RE: Lutheran Church of Hope – Building Signage Dear mayor and city council, I am writing to request a text amendment to the Municipal Sign Code (Sec. 21.121) regarding allowable signage for religious institutions located in residential zones. This request is promoted by the construction of the new Lutheran Church of Hope facility at 5119 Lincoln Way. Currently, Sec. 21.121 limits religious institutional signage in residential districts to a maximum of 16 square feet. While this threshold may suit smaller, neighborhood-scale religious institutions, it does not seem appropriate for larger properties fronting major commercial corridors. Several unique site conditions support an amendment to allow proportionally scaled signage for this location: • Building Scale: A major 27,500 square foot facility. • Property Size: A 22.22-acre parcel with extensive frontage along Lincoln Way. • Traffic Speeds: Lincoln Way carries traffic moving at 50 MPH, requiring larger visual elements for safe readability and visibility. • Building Setback: The primary structure sits 220 feet back from the roadway, drastically reducing the legibility of a standard 16 sq. ft. sign. I request to have staff amend the code to allow for a larger amount of signage for this condition. For reference, this rending reflects a 5' x 13'-4" building signage (66.65 SF). Respectfully, Jason Dietzenbach, AIA Architect/Partner Avec Design 392 ITEM #:45 DATE:10-13-26 DEPT:FIRE SUBJECT:PROACTIVE CODE ENFORCEMENT FOR CAMPUSTOWN AREA BUSINESSES COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: The City Council received an email from Luke Jensen dated August 6, 2026, (attached) regarding the condition of the commercial properties in the Campustown area. Council reviewed the email at the August 11, 2026, Council Meeting and directed staff to investigate potential violations in the Campustown area. Staff completed an initial review of the area and identified 11 properties that were in violation. To date, 10 of the 11 properties are in compliance. The property not in compliance is 108 Hayward, which will require some structural repairs that will take some time to complete. Staff drafted a memo (attached) outlining all of the violations and actions taken to resolve the issues. The City Council reviewed the memo at the September 22, 2026, City Council meeting. A motion was approved to place the item on a future agenda to discuss proactive enforcement in the Campustown area to be performed twice per year by Inspections staff. Staff currently enforces property maintenance concerns on a complaint-only basis with the exception of the Near Campus Neighborhoods, which receive proactive enforcement for items such as garbage, furniture, and grass height. Regular proactive enforcement has been helpful as staff is able to quickly address violations so that non- compliance is not normalized. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Direct staff to begin proactive enforcement for commercial properties in the Campustown Business District twice per year. 2. Direct staff to begin proactive enforcement for commercial properties in the Campustown Business District throughout the year. 3. Direct staff to continue complaint-based enforcement for commercial properties in the Campustown Business District. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff believes that regular enforcement in the Campustown business district would be more effective than the current practice of sporadic enforcement on a complaint-only 393 basis. However, rather than merely perform inspections on a biannual basis as suggested by the Council, the staff would recommend performing proactive inspections throughout the year. The additional enforcement would not greatly increase the current workload and would help set a standard expectation for the area. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve Alternative No. 2, as described above. ATTACHMENT(S): 4. L. Jensen - Campustown Cleanup (2).pdf 3. S. Van Meeteren - Campustown Area Property Maintenance.pdf 394 1 Hall, Renee From:Luke Jensen <luke@resgi.com> Sent:Thursday, August 6, 2026 10:02 AM To:City Council and Mayor Subject:Campustown Needs Attention Attachments:Site_Photos (2).pdf [External Email] Council, I'm writing about the condition of Campustown. Over the last 10 years there has been a substantial deterioration of the district. We really have not seen meaningful investment (public or private) in the area since 2018. I understand enrollment fluctuations have created challenges. From our experience our 2026/2027 rents are pretty much the same as 2017/2018 rents but our operating expenses have increased over 35% during that same period. This impacts how property owners can maintain their properties. We need to find ways to increase vibrancy and attract more people to the district to support the area year round. I encourage the council to look at the conditions in the area...sadly you will see a lot of challenges: High commercial vacancy Weeds and lack of property maintenance Trash containers littered everywhere including the right of way and on city property Unregulated compost pile full of old tree branches Dirty sidewalks Bent/broken street signs and garbage cans We need to clean this up by enforcing our city codes. I don't know if anyone is monitoring the area. Then we need to make it easier to invest in the area and promote growth. Campustown is in bad shape and a poor reflection of the community. We need a healthy and vibrant Campustown, and sadly we are far from it. My family and I have invested in the district and are one of the few remaining local ownership groups. We take a lot of pride in our property and have maintained our offices here since 2004. We serve close to 250 residents in the area and they deserve more than just a nice apartment. They deserve an area they are proud of. Please consider developing an improvement plan so we can generate investment in this area and get things back on track. Attached are some pictures for reference.

Box 811 Ames, IA 50010 www.CityofAmes.org Fire Department Inspections To: Mayor & City Council From: Date: Sara Van Meeteren, Building Official September 10, 2026 Subject: Campustown Area Property Maintenance The City Council referred a letter to staff regarding property maintenance in the Campustown area from Luke Jensen (attached) at the August 11, 2026 City Council Meeting. City staff toured the Campustown business area (commercial properties from Lynn to Hayward and Lincoln Way to Knapp) on August 12th and identified 11 violations of the Ames Municipal Code including litter/appliances, vegetation, and improper siding material. Each property owner was contacted and have already complied with or have plans for compliance. Each violation is summarized below: 1.) 2530 Chamberlain – Dead/dangerous tree. A code case was opened 8/12/26. The owner responded that a contractor has been hired for removal. They have a compliance date of 9/11/26. Compliance verified on 9/10/26. 406 2.) 113 Welch – Noxius Weed. A code case was opened 8/13/26. Owner responded that it will be taken care of. They had a compliance date of 8/20/26. The tree was not removed on that date. They were given a second notice with a compliance date of 8/28/26. Compliance was verified on 8/27/26. 3.) 109 Welch – Garbage/Appliance behind dumpster area. A code case was opened 8/13/26. They had a compliance date of 8/20/26. The garbage was not removed on that date so they were given a second notice with a compliance date of 8/28/26. A final 407 violation notice was mailed on 9/3/26 with a deadline of 9/17/26. A citation will be issued if not in compliance on that date. 4.) 2516 Lincoln Way – Noxious weeds. A code case was opened 8/12/26. The owner responded that they had a contract for mowing and are now aware that they have not been getting mowed per the contract. The property was in compliance on 8/17/26. 408 5.) 115 Welch – Noxious weeds. A code case was opened 8/13/26. Compliance was confirmed on 8/19/26. 409 6.) 121 Welch – Garbage, Litter, TVs in garbage area. A code case was opened 8/13/26. Compliance achieved 8/14/26. 410 411 7.) 115 Welch – Litter in City lot. Public Works tries to do a clean-up a few times each year, but there is no regularly scheduled litter maintenance in City parking lots. 8.) 133 Welch – Appliance by garbage. A code case was opened 8/13/26. Compliance was confirmed 8/19/26. 412 9.) 218 Welch – Noxious Weeds/Yard Waste. A code case was opened on 8/4/26. The property sold on 6/23/26 and the new owners (Green State Credit Union) are obtaining bids to have the exterior cleaned up with a compliance date of 8/31/26. They have plans to remodel the post office into a credit union and create a green space with the rest of the area. A contractor was on site on 8/27/26 to begin mowing. Compliance was confirmed on 9/15/26. 413 414 10.) 2420 Lincoln Way – Litter. A code case was opened 8/13/26. Compliance achieved 8/13/26. 415 11.) 108 Hayward – North Wall is covered in plywood. This was the solution for a previous case in which bricks were falling into the alley. The plywood was added to keep the bricks from falling. It is now a violation of the public nuisance ordinance but was not a violation at the time it was installed. A code case was opened 8/13/26. The owner is working with a contractor and the Planning Department to find an appropriate siding material and determine if there are any façade grant opportunities. They have a compliance date of 9/14/26. Mr. Jensen’s letter referenced dumpsters placed in the right-of-way at 119 Stanton. Staff verified that the adjacent property owners had obtained a Temporary Obstruction Permit to allow the dumpster to be placed along the curb during tenant move-in/move- out. Temporary Obstruction Permits currently require staff approval. If the Council would like to restrict the locations for dumpsters they will need to provide staff with additional direction. 416 Staff noticed that there were several dumpsters placed within Lot X in Campustown that do not have any sort of obstruction permit. Some are tucked away and screened while others are placed within parking spaces. Council may want to consider looking into a screened collection area for all businesses to share to limit the number of dumpsters and the amount of litter. 417 In years past, staff has worked with the Campustown Action Association (CAA) to address general concerns in the area. The CAA was invested in the upkeep and vibrancy of this business district and played an important role keeping code violation cases to a minimum. Staff believes that seeking assistance from this group to help reinforce with property owners the importance of keeping this area well maintained would be beneficial. 418 Another idea would be to create an ‘adopt-a-‘lot’ program where businesses, fraternities/sororities, or churches could sponsor a city-owned lot to ensure the area remains clean and welcoming. 419 ITEM #:46 DATE:10-13-26 DEPT:FIN SUBJECT:SALE AND ISSUANCE OF ELECTRIC REVENUE BONDS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $53,930,000 COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: The City is proceeding with the first phase of financing for the new thermal generation project for the Ames Municipal Electric Utility. The project includes the acquisition and installation of new reciprocating internal combustion engine (RICE) generation units and the related site, electrical, mechanical, and other improvements necessary to place the units into service. The Series 2026D Electric Revenue Bonds are expected to provide $50,533,000 for RICE engine purchases and construction costs anticipated through approximately February 2028. In addition, the proposed issuance includes $827,000 for the underwriter ’s discount, issuance costs, and rounding, resulting in a current estimated par amount of $51,360,000. The maximum authorized principal amount is $53,930,000. The difference between the preliminary bond amount and the maximum authorized amount provides flexibility for changes in market conditions, final bond sizing, required reserves, issuance costs, and other financing adjustments that may occur before the bonds are sold. The Series 2026D Bonds will be payable solely from the net revenues of the City’s Electric Utility. They will not be General Obligation Bonds and will not be supported by the City’s property tax levy. This issuance represents only the first phase of the financing plan for the thermal generation project. Any future financing phases will require separate City Council action. On the morning of October 13, 2026, the City will accept competitive bids for the bonds in accordance with the terms of the offering documents. The City’s financial advisor, bond counsel, and staff will evaluate the bids. Following this review, staff will recommend that the City Council award the bonds to the bidder offering the lowest borrowing cost in accordance with the established bidding criteria. A report summarizing the bids will be presented to the City Council that evening. The Council will then be asked to adopt a resolution accepting the best bid and authorizing the sale and issuance of the bonds to the successful bidder. Closing is anticipated to occur on October 29, 2026. 420 ALTERNATIVES: 1. Adopt the following resolutions as presented, authorizing the issuance of a not to exceed amount of $53,930,000 in Electric Revenue Bonds: a. Resolution providing for the issuance and securing the payment of future Obligations for the purposes of borrowing money for the City’s Municipal Electric Utility b. Resolution authorizing and approving a Loan Agreement and providing for the issuance of Electric Revenue Bonds, Series 2026D and other documents related to the Bonds 2. Do not approve the the required resolutions and provide staff with additional direction regarding the project’s financing. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The first phase of the revised financing plan will provide funding for the RICE engines and other project costs anticipated through approximately February 2028. Issuing the debt in phases allows the City to better align its borrowing with the project’s contractual payment schedule and anticipated cash-flow needs. The proposed Series 2026D Bonds will be payable solely from the net revenues of the Electric Utility and will not be supported by the City’s property tax levy. Adoption of the resolutions will authorize the City to accept the bid providing the lowest borrowing cost and proceed with the Electric Revenue Loan Agreement and issuance of the bond s. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above. 421 ITEM #:47 DATE:10-13-26 DEPT:FLEET SUBJECT:AMES ANIMAL SERVICES FACILITY - CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT BIDS COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: The City has purchased the former Eagle's Loft Daycare property at 2715 Dayton Avenue in a project to renovate and expand it into a new Ames Animal Services Facility. The City retained INVISION Architecture LTD (INVISION), Des Moines, Iowa, to design the facility using best practices outlined by the American Society of Veterinarians (ASV) Guidelines for Sheltering, and meeting the requirements for Animal Welfare of the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS). INVISION and its sub-consultants have worked with City staff and fundraisers to complete a design of the facility, which 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 space and will have a flat roof to accommodate mechanical equipment. BIDS: The invitation to bid was issued on August 25, 2026. It contained eight add-alternates: 1. Dog run shade structures 2. Replace resilient corridor flooring with epoxy 3. Catio screens 4. Parking lot addition 5. Exterior building signage 6. Building automation 7. Wood-look metal entry trellis 8.

The estimated construction cost with no contingency was $5,441,081, leaving a shortfall of $58,919 if the base bid was to be awarded. Following the bid opening, staff and the design team met with HPC to identify value engineering items that could reduce the base bid without affecting the overall function of the s p a c e s . In this preliminary discussion, it was believed that the base bid could be reduced by $100,000 to $200,000 through these efforts. Staff would like a minimum contingency balance of $250,000, so more savings or additional funding will be needed to provide such a balance. In addition, a decision will need to be reached regarding inclusion of any of the add- alternates that were offered outside of the base bid. A discussion regarding these add- alternates, the bid amount for them from HPC, and staff's preliminary thoughts regarding each of them, is below: 1. Dog run shade structures ($163,000) - Among the add-alternates, staff believes this one has the most direct impact on animal and volunteer well-being. At the City Council discussion on August 11, individual Council Members made comments supporting the inclusion of this alternate. Staff has asked HPC to confirm the pricing on this alternate since it was higher than estimated and higher than some of the other bidders. Further discussions need to occur to determine if there is a less costly manner in which to provide shade to the dog areas. 2. Epoxy flooring (-$11,000) - Given the deduct offered, staff believes this epoxy flooring alternative should be included in the bid award. 3. Wood look catio louvers ($45,000) - This is a primarily cosmetic component to the 423 project. Staff believes the bid amount for this add-alternate is competitive. However, it is also a component that does not significantly affect animal care. Additionally, it may be possible to add a similar feature at a later date. 4. Parking lot addition ($66,000) - The base bid specifications add two parking spaces compared to the existing facility on Billy Sunday Road. This add-alternate provides another 12 parking spaces. At the City Council discussion on August 11, individual Council Members made comments supporting the inclusion of this alternate. Staff believes the bid amount for this add-alternate is competitive. However, it is also a component that does not affect animal care and could be added in a future project. 5. Exterior building signage ($71,000) - This is a cosmetic component to the project, which does not affect animal care. Staff can look to identify alternative ways in which to incorporate signage into the project. 6. Building automation ($53,000) - This alternate provides a system that coordinates the various mechanical systems throughout the building. Although the bid amount for this alternate is approximately 1/3 of the estimated amount, Staff does not believe this alternate adds enough value to the project to make its inclusion worthwhile. Excluding this system will also avoid some future operating costs to maintain this system. 7. Wood look metal entry ($45,000) - This is a cosmetic component to the project. Staff believes the bid amount for this add-alternate is competitive. However, it is also a component that does not affect animal care. 8. Catio enclosure ($120,000) - Staff has asked HPC to confirm the pricing on this alternate since it was higher than some of the other bidders. This alternate would be difficult to add to the building at a later date due to the manner in which it is integrated into the building. It also provides some additional space for cats to inhabit, which has an impact on animal care. To summarize, staff believes it would be worth having further discussions with HPC and the design team, with a goal to incorporate add-alternates 1, 2, 4, and 8. Preliminary discussions regarding the value engineering were positive, so staff would like time to discuss with HPC reducing the base bid before coming back to City Council with a deduct change order and information on any alternates. Further Council direction regarding these add-alternates would allow staff to focus its discussions with the contractor and design team. If it is assumed there are no changes to the pricing of these add-alternate components, then the construction cost would be as follows: ITEM AMOUNT Base Bid $ 5,500,000 Estimated Base Bid Deducts (150,000) Alternate 1 (Dog run shade structures)163,000 Alternate 2 (Epoxy flooring)(11,000) Alternate 4 (Parking lot addition)66,000 Alternate 8 (Catio enclosure)120,000 424 Estimated Construction Contract Total $ 5,688,000 Construction contingency 250,000 Estimated total construction expenses 5,938,000 Shortfall from $5,441,081 construction budget ($496,919) The overall budget for this project, inclusive of design, site acquisition, and site investigation, is shown below: EXPENSES FUNDING SOURCES Previous Site Investigation $ 4,075 2715 Dayton Purchase Option 5,000 Site Acquisition 1,100,000 Conceptual Design 66,360 Change Order No. 1 (Detailed Design/Construction Specs)588,000 Change Order No. 2 (additional scope for Dog Run access)24,440 Construction/Renovation 5,441,081 FF&E/Permits 450,000 3rd Party Testing/Geotechnical 40,000 Stormwater Quality CIP Funding $ 30,000 Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund 29,000 Shared Use Path Maintenance Program available balance (LOST) 16,500 FY 2023/24 General Fund Savings 100,000 Council Priorities Capital Fund 2,855,000 Donations 4,534,040 Supplemental Donation for Dog Area Doors 154,416 TOTALS $ 7,718,956 $ 7,718,956 425 ALTERNATIVES: 1. Accept the report of bids and delay the award to provide staff additional time to evaluate the bids and project budget. City staff is also requesting that the Council provide guidance regarding the combination of alternates, if any, that staff should further discuss with the apparent low bidder and the design team. 2. Accept the report of bids and award a contract. 3. Accept the report of bids, reject all bids, and direct staff to work with the design team to modify the project for another invitation to bid. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The bids received for the Animal Services Facility project exceed the estimate and the available funding. Staff believes that through conversations between the low bidder changes can be made to lower the base bid without impacting the function of the building. However, more time is necessary to complete these discussions and prepare for award, including any alternates that the Council would want to consider. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve Alternative #1, as described above. 426 ITEM #:48 DATE:10-13-26 DEPT:W&PC SUBJECT:WATER TREATMENT PLANT SPLIT TREATMENT MODIFICATIONS PROJECT COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: The Water Treatment Plant (WTP) is implementing split treatment modifications to improve water treatment processes. In a "split treatment" process, a portion of the raw, untreated water is intentionally bypassed around the solids contact basins and blended back together with the softened water later in the process. This blending method is a highly efficient way for the plant to achieve the desired final water hardness, pH, and stability. By bypassing a portion of the water around the softening process, the plant significantly reduces the quantity of chemicals required for pH adjustment and stabilization, ultimately lowering overall operational costs (estimated at $122,000 annually) while still achieving the same hardness and pH characteristics as are currently being delivered to customers. There will be no noticeable change in the chemistry or the taste of the finished water. The split treatment process occurs before the disinfection stage of the treatment process occurs, meaning this approach does not affect the safety of the finished water. To facilitate these operational modifications, new piping, pumps, and electrical controls must be installed within the facility. Staff has prepared detailed specifications for a qualified contractor to complete this work. On August 25, 2026, City Council approved preliminary plans and specifications for the Split Treatment Modifications at the Water Plant project. An Invitation to Bid was issued in AmesBids by Purchasing. A legal notice was published on the websites of a contractor plan room service with statewide circulation. On September 23, 2026, three bids were received as shown below. BIDDER COST Staff Construction Estimate $245,000 Orchard Inc. Grimes, IA $182,800 OnTrack Construction, LLC Nevada, IA $215,570 Wendler Inc. Cedar Rapids, IA $235,000 427 Staff evaluated the bids and determined that the low bid from Orchard Inc., of Grimes, IA, is acceptable. The authorized budget for this project is carried over from the FY 2023/28 CIP (Water Plant Facility Improvements, originally budgeted at $130,000 and subsequently amended to $245,000). ALTERNATIVES: 1. Accept the report of bids, approve the final plans and specifications, and award a contract to Orchard Inc., of Grimes, IA, in the amount of $182,800. 2. Award a contract to a different bidder. 3. Do not award a contract at this time. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The proposed project will implement modifications that will reduce operational costs while maintaining identical water quality as the current process. Approving the contract with Orchard, Inc. will allow staff to move forward with implementation of the Split Treatment Modifications at the Water Treatment Plant. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above. 428 ITEM #:49 DATE:10-13-26 DEPT:P&H SUBJECT:RESOLUTION APPROVING PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR ONTARIO PARK AND ONTARIO TOWNES COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: Iowa State University recently sold property located on the north side of Ontario Street near Scholl Road to Hunziker Development Group, LLC and 574 Investments, LLC. The owners are proposing to develop the undeveloped, 17.4-acre property (including existing right-of-way for Ontario Street and Minnesota Avenue) into projects on either side of Scholl Road (Attachment A). On September 22, City Council approved the first reading of an ordinance for rezoning this property from Special Purpose Government / Airport Zone (S-GA) to Floating Suburban – Residential Low Density (FS-RL) with a Planned Unit Development Overlay (O-PUD). The proposed PUD allows for development of up to 26 single-family detached dwellings (Ontario Park) and 71 townhome-style single-family attached units (Ontario Townes). The first reading of the PUD rezoning was approved with: a requirement that the preliminary plat and final plat be completed prior to initiating development and constructing the housing units, a requirement to address the private open space configuration and amenity details for Ontario Townes (this will be provided in a subsequent approvals), a condition that to implement a driveway plan maximize on-street parking, and a condition that the street trees along Ontario Street be placed on the private lots if necessary to provide room for overhead power lines. The proposed preliminary plat implements the Master Plan of the PUD by creating the individual lots for the single-family homes on the east side of the site and one large outlot for the future townhome development to the west, along with other common outlots. This preliminary plat addresses proposed lot lines, street, and utilities for the single family detached home lots. A future subdivision application will provide further detail for the townhome development to the west side of the site. Hunziker will develop the east side and 574 Investments will develop the west side. The project east of Scholl Road will have 26 single-family lots. The project to the west of Scholl Road will have 71 townhome units in a mix of duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes. 429 The Preliminary Plat approval is contingent upon the approval of the proposed PUD zoning. The subject property has never been platted or developed. Scholl Road and part of Minnesota were Iowa State University institutional roads and not formally dedicated as public roads prior to the proposed development of this site. Each will become dedicated right-of-way with the plat approval. Scholl Road has a requirement to be reconstructed by the developer prior to it being dedicated to the City. No future homes will have vehicular access directly onto Ontario Street. Vehicular access will be taken from new public and private streets within the development. At the time of future final plat approval, the applicant will need to submit covenants related to how the common open space will be maintained. Both sides of the development will share in the common open space maintenance and use. Ontario Park (East of Scholl Road) The applicant is proposing to have 26 single-family lots on the subject site. The properties will take vehicular access from a new internal street, Yukon Street, which will be dedicated as a public street. Yukon Street will run from the intersection with Michigan Avenue at Ontario Street to Scholl Road. The proposed lots reflect the PUD deviation request for lot width. The minimum lot width at the building line in this development is 43 feet, as opposed to the standard 50 feet. The minimum lot width at the street line is 27 feet, as opposed to the standard 35 feet. Because of the lot width reduction, staff has requested coordination of driveway approaches to minimize impacts to on-street parking options and maintenance and operational interests of the City. No lots will take vehicular access from Scholl Road, Ontario Street, or Minnesota Avenue. On the north side of the development, adjacent the Union Pacific Railroad tracks, there will be an outlot for stormwater. A landscape plan for this outlot is a requirement of the PUD. The applicant will plant a variety of wildflowers and native grasses in this space. The wildflower species chosen will attract pollinators. A condition from the PUD will require street trees along Ontario to be placed on private property to avoid conflict with overhead power lines along Ontario. Ontario Townes (West of Scholl Road) The Preliminary Plat shows the west side of Scholl Road as one parcel. The intent is to initially divide the site into the separate planned ownership of each development site. A subsequent Preliminary Plat for the west part of the development will include details individual lots for the individual units, lots for private streets, and outlots for drainage and common open space. Staff anticipates the Ontario Townes project to be forwarded for approval early this winter. The key element of the west lot is the planned stormwater treatment pond for both sites. Common usable open space will be shared as well as condition of meeting PUD open spaces requirements. 430 PUBLIC NOTICE: Notice for the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting followed code requirements with mailed notice to owners within 400 feet, newspaper published notice, and placement of two signs on the property along Ontario Street. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION: The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the preliminary plat on September 16, 2026. Two members of the public spoke about their concerns regarding traffic on Ontario Street, inquired about whether or not the homes would be rented, and raised a question about test wells on the property. Since that time, the City Council has reviewed the rezoning application and the existing detailed information regarding traffic on Ontario and its potential impacts to side street turning movements and delays with development of the site. Information provided by the staff indicated that the intersections would operate within city policy upon the development of the site. Therefore, no additional traffic information was requested by the City Council. The question of test wells was also answered that no test wells existing on the site; only soil sampling occurs for the prairie that was previously on the site. The Commission voted 6-0-0 to recommend Alternative 1: "The Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend that the City Council approve the Preliminary Plat for Ontario Development plat with a condition for final street tree planting plan and for coordination of tree planting with driveway permit approvals subject to staff review with Final Plat." ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the Preliminary Plat for Ontario Development with a condition for final street tree planting plan and for coordination of tree planting with driveway permit approvals subject to staff review with Final Plat, subject to the third reading and adoption of the rezoning ordinance and PUD. 2. Approve the Preliminary Plat with additional conditions for the Ontario Park development. 3. Defer action on this request and refer it back to City staff and/or the applicant for additional information. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The key concern for the development are mitigation of the narrow lot widths to account for street parking, access, and maintenance. This has been addressed with the plans for driveways and conditions for final review by staff. The overall design and proposed improvements have been found to meet the City’s design standards in Chapter 23, Subdivisions subject to approval of the PUD rezoning proposal. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council act in accordance with Alternative No. 1. 431 The developer is seeking City Council approval of developer TIF rebate to reimburse them for the cost of the Scholl Road reconstruction as an incentive for workforce housing. At the January 27, 2025 meeting, the City Council has indicated a desire to set the maximum sale price for housing units at $425,000 and a percentage of rental housing units to be no more than 50%. All of these issues will be addressed in a developer agreement to be brought before the City Council at a future meeting. ATTACHMENT(S): Addendum.pdf Attachment A - Location Map.pdf Attachment B - Proposed Zoning.pdf Attachment C - Master Plan and Preliminary Plat Sheets.pdf 432 ADDENDUM Project Location. The property is 17.4 acres located on the north side of Ontario Street, west of Minnesota Avenue, south of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks, and east of the homes on the east side of Garfield Avenue. The property has never been platted. Scholl Road bisects the site and leads to the ISU Applied Science Complex. Scholl Road is currently a private road that has been owned and maintained by ISU. Master Plan Compliance. The Preliminary Plat for this development is in conformance with a Master Plan reviewed by Council on September 22. (Council approved the first reading and held a public hearing at the September meeting. The second reading of the ordinance is on the same agenda as this Preliminary Plat.) The request is to rezone the property to FS-RL with a PUD Overlay (the current zoning, S-GA, is only to be used for government). The Master Plan illustrates the general arrangement of uses, layout of development, planned vehicular movements, pedestrian connections, and developable areas. The site will be residential in use. On the east side of Scholl Road (Ontario Park), there will be 26 individual lots each with a single-family home. On the east side of Scholl Road (Ontario Townes), there will be a mix of duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes totaling 71 units. Traffic and Street Connections. Each side of the development will have one vehicular access onto Ontario Street and one onto Scholl Road. There is no vehicular access onto Minnesota Avenue, and no new street will connect. The homes along Ontario Street will face that street but will take vehicular access from Yukon Street. Neighbors of the proposed project have expressed concern about existing traffic along Ontario Street and are concerned that the proposed 97 homes will exacerbate the traffic conditions. The Traffic Engineering Division of the Public Works Department is monitoring the traffic along Ontario Street but did not require a traffic study to accompany this development. At the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on September 2, the Commission voted to recommend approval of the rezoning request with a condition that a traffic study be conducted. To date no study has been done as the City Council has not yet reviewed the PUD rezoning request. The Yukon Street intersection was discussed at the rezoning hearing. Eastern Yukon Street aligns with Michigan Avenue. The spacing between Yukon Street and Minnesota Avenue is less than typically required based upon existing conditions and the need to align with another intersection. 433 Staff did not believe utilizing a Minnesota Avenue connection in lieu of connecting Yukon Street was the best option for accessing the site. Neighborhood sentiment was also against additional traffic on Minnesota Avenue. Staff did not consider limiting access from Ontario Street to Scholl Road believing the trip generation for the east side homes could be accommodated as proposed. Street Trees Streets trees are required at a rate of 1 tree per 50 feet of street frontage for new residential development. The applicant shows a street tree plan with trees along Yukon, Ontario, and Scholl. Coordination of planting along Yukon is a condition of approval to address streetlight and driveway placements. The Ontario trees will likely need to be placed within the front yard of the lots to allow for adequate spacing from the overhead lines. This will be a condition within the final approval of the PUD plan and is a condition of final plat approval. Trees along Minnesota have not been required due to the overhead power and not homes fronting along Minnesota. Private Driveway/Street. The internal streets for Ontario Townes (west of Scholl Road) will be owned and maintained by the homeowners’ association. Further details for Ontario Townes and its private streets will follow in a subsequent preliminary plat. Both sides of the private streets will have sidewalks. At the time of final platting, an engineer will certify the design and accompanying details. Shared-Use Paths, Sidewalks, and Trails. The recently adopted Comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan (Walk Bike Roll) shows a shared-use trail extending north from Ontario Street through the ISU property and connecting over a bridge across Ioway Creek to Moore Memorial Park. The west side of Scholl Road will have the beginnings of this trail, which will terminate near the railroad right-of-way. Further funding for the remainder of the trail has not been identified. The development will fill in a sidewalk gap across the north side of Ontario Street the existing overhead power poles will remain and the sidewalk will be set inside of these poles to the north. Both sides of Yukon Street will also have sidewalks, as will the internal, private streets for Ontario Townes (west of Scholl Road). A private trail within the outlot will curve around the stormwater facility for Ontario Townes. The sidewalk on the east side of Scholl Road will stop at Yukon Street, as there are no plans for the City sidewalk network to extend onto the ISU property, this is a waiver of city street improvement requirements due to unusual circumstances and constraints of the railroad. 434 There is an existing sidewalk on the east side of Minnesota Avenue that connects to a pedestrian path on the bridge over the railroad tracks. There is no room on the existing bridge for a sidewalk on the west side of Minnesota As such, staff are not requiring a sidewalk on the west side of Minnesota Avenue and again waiving the improvement requirements because of unusual circumstances and conditions. Stormwater Management. Two stormwater facilities will be built, one on each side of Scholl Road. The east side (Ontario Park) will have a stormwater facility that sits between the single -family lots and the railroad tracks. The west side (Ontario Townes) will have a larger stormwater pond in the northeast corner of that site. Release of stormwater from the detention facility must comply with City and state stormwater treatment requirements. The site has been designed to comply the City’s Chapter 5b requirement with the primary design standard of releasing water at not greater rate than a 5-yr stormwater storm based upon existing conditions. Utilities and Easements. The property is within the Ames Electric territory. Ames Electric maintains overhead transmission lines across the Ontario Street frontage and along Minnesota Avenue. An electric easement exists along Minnesota Avenue. City water and sewer access will come from Ontario Street and Scholl Road. For Ontario Park (east of Scholl Road), the water line and the sanitary sewer line will be both 8 inches in diameter. The water line is required to loop through both sides of the development. The utility easement is shown with the preliminary plat. An existing stormwater line runs from Ontario Street to the northeast across the western part of the development. This line will be moved and placed in a 30 -foot storm sewer easement that will feed into the stormwater pond for Ontario Townes. 435 Attachment A Location Map 436 Attachment B Proposed Zoning 437 Attachment C Master Plan and Preliminary Plat Sheets 438 439 440 441 442 443 444 445 446 447 ITEM #:50 DATE:10-13-26 DEPT:P&H SUBJECT:SETTING DATES OF PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR APPROVAL OF CREATION OF AND AMENDMENTS TO URBAN RENEWAL AREAS COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: On September 9, the City Council reviewed a report about strategies to address changes to Tax Increment Financing (TIF) within Urban Renewal Areas (URA) as a result of recent state legislative approval of SF 2472 that changes property tax collections and established caps on growth in the General Fund utilizing property tax revenue. SF 2472 made significant changes to the operational components of URAs related to TIF in how it is accounted for as "new construction" in relation to the General Fund, along with the time for collection of TIF. The most significant impact to the General Fund is that now when the collection of TIF expires, the increased incremental value does not count as new construction and thereby does not let the City exceed the 2% cap to cover needed costs predominantly for our Police, Fire, Library, and Parks & Recreation services. Additionally, any TIF area that exists before January 1, 2027 has greater financial benefit to the City because it includes the school foundation levy of $5.40 within the allowable TIF levy rate. With the loss of the school foundation levy after the first of the year, the financial benefit from a TIF incentive will be decreased by approximately 25%. NEW FINANCING STRATAGIES RELATED TO TAX INCREMENT FINANCING BEING RECOMMENDED: At the September 9, 2026 meeting the City Council indicated approval for two new strategies that benefit the City; 1) to delay claiming future TIF increments until after development is credited as new construction, and 2) to create and update existing Urban Renewal Areas. STRATEGY #1: Staff is recommending to allow the use of a TIF incentive to finance projects and activities only after a new development has occurred and has first been accounted for as new construction. This new strategy could result in delaying the availability of a TIF incentive by one or two years. STRATEGY #2: Staff also is recommending that certain CIP projects be funded with existing TIF revenue stream rather than releasing the TIF revenue back to all taxing entities once the 448 initial obligations have been paid off. This new strategy benefits the community by moderating the impact on future property tax increases by positively impacting the City's Debt Service Levy. THE URBAN RENEWAL AREA PROCESS: Urban Renewal Areas are an economic development and slum and blight remediation tool for municipalities authorized under Iowa Code 403. There are a number of procedural steps of identifying an Urban Renewal Area and adopting an Urban Renewal Plan with projects and activities that then may be undertaken to support the objectives of the Plan. The first step to establish an Urban Renewal Area is to review a draft plan with a description of the area and its objectives. After review of the draft plan the City Council will set a date of hearing for review and approval of the URA and associated Plan with a Resolution of Necessity. Additionally, consultation with affected tax entities (County, School Districts, and DMACC) and a review by the Planning and Zoning Commission must occur prior to a public hearing when TIF is proposed for an URA. A separate and subsequent action will require Council approval of a TIF ordinance for the collection of TIF. It is expected that this action will occur in November. Attached to this report are the proposed Urban Renewal Plans for 10 areas of the City. Each Plan is customized to the area and types of project and activities that may be undertaken by the City. Of the ten proposed plans, four include currently identified CIP projects consistent with Strategy #2, five are focused on economic projects, including yet to yet to be determined private economic development projects consistent with Strategy #1, and one area is related to both strategies. Below is a summary of the major components of each Plan. POINTS TO BE EMPHASIZED ABOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TWO NEW STRATEGIES: 1) The implementation of each Urban Renewal Plan and the identified projects that will receive a TIF incentive is at the discretion of the Council. Therefore, the mere mention of a project within any of the ten Urban Renewal Areas does not obligate the City to ultimately provide the TIF incentive for that project. 2) Only projects identified within an Urban Renewal Plan may be funded by TIF in accordance with the Urban Renewal authority granted to Cities by Iowa Code 403. Therefore, to take advantage of Strategy #2, the staff had to project future needs and related projects as well as their associated costs without the benefit of detailed studies, cost estimates, nor commitment by the City Council. These projects were projected to occur over the next 24 years. In addition, the total amount for a TIF incentive in Urban Renewal Plan cannot exceed the the stated maximum dollar amount. 3) Private developments assisted with TIF rebates will require City Council approval of a development agreement because there is no by-right use of TIF. 449 The development agreement will allow the City Council to stipulate to certain conditions that are priorities in return for offering the TIF incentive. SUMMARY OF THE TEN URBAN RENEWAL AREAS: North Growth URA Area-New The North Growth URA is proposed to help implement the City's Council interest in providing housing incentives for three projects in North Ames, The Bluffs, Greenbriar, and Hayden's Preserve. The North Growth Urban Renewal Area will include approximately 358 acres of land in north Ames extending from west of George Washington Carver Avenue in the Bluffs Subdivision and extending eastward in an undeveloped area between Ames Golf & Country Cub and Northridge Heights across the Union Pacific Rail Line over to Hyde Avenue. A portion of the land is currently categorized as Agricultural land. As a result property owner consents for inclusion of Ag land were obtained for the URA. The URA also includes some areas of right-of-way in rural Story County for the GW Carver roundabout, the Supervisors consented to including this area. The North Growth Area will contain projects involving infrastructure improvements for roadways and intersections, including a new roundabout planned for the intersection of GW Carver and Cameron School Road, public stormwater infrastructure, park system improvements, construction of a Fire House along Stange Road, greenway trail crossing of the railroad, and potential economic development rebates for developers. The maximum TIF collection in this URA is proposed at $11,345,000 for all of the projects. Approximately $2.6 million is planned for use as developer rebates based upon the current planned incentives for housing development in this URA. Multiple TIF areas are planned to support future undertakings within the URA and to capture future general fund growth. East Industrial Urban Renewal Area- New The East Industrial Urban Renewal Area will include approximately 875 acres of land located along East Lincoln Way south of the railroad tracks and area along Teller Avenue. This area includes East Industrial Area and the Prairie View Industrial Park. Because most of the land is currently categorized as Agricultural land, property owner consents were obtained as needed to defined the URA boundary. Proposed projects relate to providing infrastructure improvements necessary to support the development of the area for roadway improvements and utility infrastructure. Economic development rebates for developers and planning and engineering studies for the projects are also included. In total, the maximum TIF collection is proposed as $51,000,000. Approximately $22 million of 450 the total is identified for developer incentives when projects are consistent with City's economic development policies supporting responsible water and sewer utility usage, high value development, and new high quality jobs. The land in this area is undeveloped with large tracts that are not yet subdivided. Multiple TIF areas are planned to support future undertakings consistent with the Plan and to capture future general fund growth. East 13th Street URA-New The Urban Renewal Area includes planned East Expansion area for the Elwell/Reutter owned properties east of I-35 along East 13th Street. The area is approximately 245 acres of property plus right-of-way extending along East 13th Street to the Dayton intersection. This area has a Community Commercial Retail land use designation. Public infrastructure exists to begin development of the area, but overall growth in this area will require improvements to public infrastructure, with the primary projects contemplated as widening and signalization of East 13th, paving of 570th, oversizing and extension of water, sewer, and storm mains. The Plan identifies $12 million of potential developer TIF rebates. The maximum TIF collection is established as $22.7 million. The land in this area is undeveloped with large tracts that are not yet subdivided. Multiple TIF areas are planned to support future undertakings consistent with the Plan and to capture future General Fund growth. Ontario & Scholl URA -NEW The Ontario-Scholl Urban Renewal Area contains approximately 17.4 acres on the north side of Ontario Street between Minnesota Avenue to the east and the homes on the east side of Garfield Avenue to the west. The property is bounded to the north by the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. Scholl Road bisects the site. The land was recently sold by Iowa State University to local developers for residential development. The land has been used for decades by the university for agricultural teaching purposes. To the west of Scholl Road has been used for row crops. To the east of Scholl Road has been a man-made, research prairie. Scholl Road north of Ontario Street has been owned and maintained by ISU; no public right-of- way has ever existed for this private street. The road surface is in poor condition and the street does not have curbs, storm sewer, or sidewalks. As a part of the sale and development of the land, Scholl Road right-of-way will be dedicated as a public street up to the railroad tracks. (Scholl Road north of the railroad tracks will remain a private street owned and maintained by ISU.) Scholl Road will also be completely reconstructed by the residential developers with infrastructure that complies with City code (curbs, storm sewer, sidewalks, trails, etc.). The road will be constructed to commercial standards, beyond what would normally be required for developers to construct for a residential redevelopment. As such, the proposed project for this URA is that the City will contribute $870,000 in TIF funds as a developer rebates towards the upgrading the street beyond residential standards. The maximum TIF 451 collection is set at $870,000. Planning to maximize the capture of new growth with single family home development will require multiple TIF areas for the development site. Downtown Reinvestment District URA Amendment The Downtown URA was originally created in concert with the City's State Reinvestment District Application and was limited to the Lincoln Way Corridor and between the Fitch Aquatics Center and Duff Avenue and for the western half of Downtown totaling approximately 75 acres. Projects identified in the original Plan included the Aquatics Center, public infrastructure improvements, public space and plazas, acquisition of property, and economic development assistance to developers. The Plan identified the use of TIF for certain activities totaling a maximum of $32 million. The proposed amended Plan expands the URA boundaries north of the railroad tracks to include the broader Downtown area extending generally from Northwestern Avenue to Bandshell Park along 6th Street for a total area of 131 acres. The proposed project activities have been updated based upon potential public improvements and private redevelopment projects related to the City's Plan 2040 land use designations and the Downtown Guiding Vision. The project list includes projects related to public improvements for roadways, utilities, streetscapes, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, parking, public spaces, economic development grants, developer rebates, planning studies, and other activity that is allowed by law and meets the objectives of the Plan. The total TIF collection has been increased due to potential additional projects and inflated costs of projects since the original Plan's approval to a maximum total of $83 million. The Plan identifies $56 million in relation to developer rebate incentives. This URA currently has two established TIF districts related to the Linc site. Additional new TIF areas are planned to support future undertakings consistent with the Plan and to capture future general fund growth. North Dayton Industrial Subdivision Urban Renewal Area Amendment The North Dayton Urban Renewal Area was created in 2022 to spur economic development of small lot industrial development along Dayton Avenue. The development area coincides with the North Dayton Industrial Subdivision and included developer rebates for the cost of public improvements that serve the development. The initial area was 73 acres. The proposed amendment does not change the development area of the URA, but includes adjacent rights-of-way within the URA boundary to facilitate public improvements to serve the growth and development of the City. Rights-of-way for Dayton Avenue and East 13th Street are included in the URA boundary. Planned public improvements for reconstruction and improvement of E. 13th Street, shared use paths extensions, and the potential widening of Dayton Avenue are proposed projects. 452 The maximum TIF collection will increase by approximately $7 million, this is in addition to previous development rebate commitment of approximately $3.1 million for the initial infrastructure improvements to the area. No new TIF areas are anticipated at this time, but the current TIF Area may be divided into multiple areas to capture future general fund growth. Campustown Urban Renewal Area Amendment The Campustown URA was originally adopted in 2013 at the request of the developer of the Kingland project for economic development purposes. It is proposed to be expanded in area and purpose. The broader Campustown area is proposed to be included in the URA area boundary, including areas between S. Hyland and Lynn Avenues. The boundary is also expanded to include Hyland and Ontario drive extending to the Scholl Road and proposed Ontario Park Subdivision. The URA’s purpose is also being expanded in support of City actions for removal of slum and blight to better serve the area’s growing population. New projects proposed with the Plan include Chamberlain Street improvements and other general public improvements such as enhancements to the streetscape, trash and recycling, sidewalks, parking, public space, and stormwater. Economic development grants for private small businesses and redevelopments, including for blight elimination, vacant ground commercial storefront business improvements, building rehabilitation and construction, and other site improvements are also proposed. Public improvements related to roadway improvements for Hyland and E. 13th Street and Scholl Road are also included. Economic development rebates for developers and planning and engineering studies for the projects are also included. In total, the maximum TIF collection is proposed as $32,770,000. The Plan identifies $22 million for developer rebate incentives. Only one existing TIF district is establish within Campustown. Additional new TIF areas are planned to support future undertakings consistent with the Plan and to capture future general fund growth. Barilla URA Amendment The proposed amendments are focused on improvements to public infrastructure to serve the economic development needs of the city with additional growth. The boundaries are proposed to be expanded beyond the existing Barilla site to include East 13th Street right-of-way from Dayton Avenue to 570th Avenue. East Lincoln Way will be included from the Barilla site to the east to the intersection with Freel Drive. No new private property is included with the amendment. The maximum collection of TIF will be increase by $6 million for public infrastructure improvements. No new TIF districts will be created. ISU Research Park URA Amendment The City established the URA and Plan in 2014 to include 245 acres of existing development generally south of South Loop Drive and planned expansion area. The amended URA is expanding to include the airport property with development sites identified within its Master Plan, the whole of the Research Park, rights-of-way, and City land at Billy Sunday Road, an increase by approximately 460 acres. 453 The original Plan included Ag land consents and approval by the Board of Supervisors to include rural road right-of-way for improvement of University Boulevard. The amended Plan includes these original consents, and by virtue of the City Council approving the Plan consents to including agricultural land located on City property at the airport. The project list included public improvements to support expansion of the Research Park, including the University Boulevard extension and utilities. TIF was identified as the funding source for the public improvements and set at a maximum collection of $7 million. The City has completed the initial set of planned public improvements by utilizing approximately $3.8 million of TIF already. Additional TIF increment can be generated over the life of the plan to supplement costs of additional infrastructure needed for the economic development and growth of the City. The proposed amendment expands the URA for the Research Park to include both additional land and infrastructure improvements. The primary purpose of the amendments is to improve infrastructure with paving of Cottonwood Drive, Lincoln Way bridge replacement, airport site improvements, rehabilitation and reconstruction of other streets and intersections. The proposed public improvement projects will occur over an extended period of time and have an estimated cost $11 million. Additionally, developer incentives with TIF rebates are identified to help fund other infrastructure extensions need for the expansion of the Research Park, totaling $9 million. The maximum collection of TIF will increase from the original Plan by $20 million to a total of $27 million, with approximately $23.2 available for new projects. Two TIF Districts exist within the current URA, but these areas will need to be modified to separate undeveloped land from developed land to better capture new construction valuation for the general fund. New TIF areas will also be created to account for potential new growth. South Bell Urban Renewal Area (Urban Renewal Area No.5) Amendment The South Bell URA was created in 2009 to assist with economic development goals of the City related to industrial land. At that time the project area was referred to as both South Bell and Urban Renewal Area No.5. The proposed amendment includes additional right-of-way of SE 16th Street, South Dayton, Freel Drive, SE 5th Street, and East Lincoln Way as project areas. The proposed project list includes potential roadway improvements in these areas that will improve traffic conditions related to growth in this industrial area of the City. City staff has proposed to increase the allowable TIF collection by $6 million. No additional TIF areas are anticipated at this time. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Resolution setting the date of hearing for the ten Urban Renewal Plans for November 10, 2026, referring the URA Plans to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a recommendation, and designating Kelly Diekmann, as the City representative for the consultation meetings with affected tax entities. 2. Direct staff to modify any of the proposed draft URA Plans and then proceed with a Resolution setting the date of hearing as November 10, 2026, referring the URA Plans to the 454 Planning and Zoning Commission for a recommendation, and designating Kelly Diekmann, as the City representative for the consultation meetings with affected tax entities. 3. Refer the item back to staff for more information. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The proposed URAs are a departure from past City practice to respond to immediate economic development that is necessitated by the recently adopted SF2472 in order to best manage future accounting for new construction valuations and to maximize the incentive value of TIF. The proposed action of setting the hearings for November 10th is the first step in this process. The City Council will still have to approve the individual Urban Renewal Plans at a public hearing before they become effective. Additionally, any Plan that includes new TIF areas will require separate ordinances to be approved before the end of the year to maximize the value of TIF. Future amendments to the Plans and other TIF areas can occur still after January 1st if new projects or needs arise. Based upon the estimated TIF maximums of the Plans, new growth must occur to fund all of the projects and activities identified. Much of the funding is dependent on new development happening as expected. Direct benefits to City of Ames taxpayers includes the financial assistance of TIF for public improvements identified within the Plans, which address approved projects in the current five-year CIP totaling approximately $15 million. Therefore, the City Manager recommends the City Council approve Alternative 1.

INTRODUCTION Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa authorizes cities to establish areas within their boundaries known as “urban renewal areas,” and to exercise special powers within these areas. The process by which an economic development urban renewal area may be created begins with the preparation of an urban renewal plan for a proposed geographic area. An amendment to the URA and Plan shall follow the same procedures. In addition to defining an area, Iowa Code requires preparation of a Plan identifying the purpose of the URA and the types of projects and activities that will occur within the URA. An amendment to the URA and Plan shall follow the same procedures. Initially, the Campustown Urban Renewal Area (URA) was established at the request of a developer for economic development purposes. The URA is proposed to be expanded in area and purpose through the amendment. The amendment is necessitated to include sites for new housing opportunities near Iowa State University that create the need for additional improvements that were not included in the original Plan. The Campustown URA is also expanded to include commercial areas that make up the historical Campustown business district. The purpose of the Campustown Urban Renewal Area is being expanded beyond solely economic development purposes to also include removal of slum and blight. The combination of facilitating redevelopment to remediate Slum and Blight and to expand housing opportunities for economic development purposes will better align with the City’s objectives and better serve the area’s growing population. Chapter 15A of the Code of Iowa declares that economic development is a “public purpose” and authorizes local governments to make grants, loans, guarantees, tax incentives and other financial assistance to private enterprise. The statute defines “economic development” as including public investment involving the creation of new jobs and income or the retention of existing jobs and income that would otherwise be lost. A City’s Plan and Zoning Commission must review the plan and inform the City Council if it is consistent with the City’s general plan, for Ames this is Ames Plan 2040. All affected counties and school districts must be notified and given an opportunity to 459 2 comment on the plan. The City Council must hold a public hearing on the urban renewal plan, following which, the Council may approve the plan. This document is intended to serve as the Urban Renewal Plan for an urban renewal area to be known as the Campustown Urban Renewal Area (the “Urban Renewal Area”). It is intended that this Urban Renewal Plan will guide the City in promoting economic development by private enterprises and the construction of public improvements and facilities. These combined activities will assist in the removal of slum and blight and further the City’s economic development goals, including the provision of housing. This document is an Urban Renewal Plan within the meaning of Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa, and it sets out the proposed projects to be undertaken within the Urban Renewal Area. II. DESCRIPTION OF URBAN RENEWAL AREA The Campustown Urban Renewal Area will include approximately 6 4 acres of land. The area is located south of the Iowa State University Campus and approximately 1 mile to the northwest along Ontario Street, connected by the Lincoln Way, Hyland, and Ontario/E 13th Street rights-of-way, as depicted in Attachment A. A legal description of the property is attached hereto as Exhibit B. III. AREA DESIGNATION The Urban Renewal Area is being designated with a mixed designation. The URA is designated as both an economic development area appropriate for the promotion of commercial and residential development and as an area in which blighted conditions exist and is suitable for remediation activities. Appropriateness for commercial and residential development is based upon the City’s Comprehensive Plan and zoning designations. Blight conditions apply to a subset of properties within the overall area that meet the Code of Iowa definition of blight. Properties along Chamberlain, Lincoln Way, Stanton, Welch and Hayward, consist of outdated and deteriorated buildings and deteriorated and nonconforming site improvements. Several properties on Welch Avenue and Lincoln Way are vacant and/or abandoned. Properties along Sheldon face redevelopment issues due to their configuration versus contemporary building requirements. IV. BASE VALUE If the Urban Renewal Area is legally established, and a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) ordinance is adopted, then the “base value” of the Area will be the assessed value of the taxable property within the TIF Ordinance area as of January 1 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the City first certifies the amount of any debt to the Area pursuant to Iowa Code Section 403.19. The base value will be determined 460 3 independently for each Tax Increment Financing Ordinance adopted to implement the Plan. V. URBAN RENEWAL OBJECTIVES The primary objectives for development within the Urban Renewal Area are: 1. To contribute to a diversified, well-balanced local economy by creating job opportunities and strengthening the property tax base. 2. To stimulate private investment in the area known as Campustown through public action and commitment, and to encourage job retention, growth and expansion through the use of various incentives. 3. To provide tax increment incentives in the form of economic development payments or other methods authorized by state law. 4. To help finance the cost of constructing public facilities and infrastructure and improvements in support of commercial and residential development, including but not limited to road projects, water, sanitary sewer, public space, parking, stormwater drainage, and public utilities. 5. To promote development utilizing any other objectives allowed by Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa. 6. To increase the availability of housing opportunities, which may in turn attract and retain local industries and commercial enterprises that will strengthen and revitalize the economy of the State of Iowa and the City of Ames. 7. To stimulate, through public action and commitment, private investment in new housing and residential development, and nearby commercial development. 8. To plan for and provide sufficient land for residential development in a manner that is efficient from the standpoint of providing municipal services. VI. RENEWAL PROJECTS AND ACTIVITES The purpose of this Urban Renewal Plan is to facilitate and complement redevelopment in the Urban Core of Ames and other future redevelopment and infill projects consistent with City plans and zoning. To this end the City may engage in planning and design studies, acquire property, provide private development incentives of grants, property tax rebates, or loans, apply or implement building and property maintenance programs for remediation of or prevention of blight, and finance and construct, repair, or rehabilitate public improvements. Nothing in this section should be construed as limiting the range or types of activities or powers granted to the 461 4 City under Chapter 403 or any other provisions of the Code of Iowa in furtherance of the Urban Renewal Plan. The original purpose of the Urban Renewal Plan was a response by the City to a request from a developer known as Kingland Systems related to the construction of a facility for retail and office uses on property located within the Urban Renewal Area. Review of the proposed project by the developer and City staff has determined that financial assistance is required to make the project economically viable. The Kingland Systems project has since been completed, however additional projects are needed to achieve the overall purpose of the Urban Renewal Area. Projects and Activities Estimated Date* Estimated Cost* Rationale Chamberlain Street Public Infrastructure and Reconstruction 2027- 2040 $1,400,000 To provide infrastructure necessary to support development of the area including reconstruction/ rehabilitation to restore the structural integrity of the roadway and sidewalks.

VII. CITY DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND POLICIES The City has a general plan for the physical development of the City, as outlined in a comprehensive plan, Ames Plan 2040, adopted December 2021. The goals and 463 6 objectives of this Urban Renewal Plan, including the urban renewal projects, are in conformity with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Ames Plan 2040 designates the portion of the URA south of Lincoln Way as Core, a designation that applies to the City’s two central districts, downtown and Campustown. The goals for this designation reinforce the goals of the URA, to maintain their status as central districts and support their growth: Maintain status as significant centers of public life and community. Continue to provide opportunities for business innovation and small business. Expand with a variety of new uses, including living environments, into underutilized surrounding areas, while reinforcing adjacent neighborhoods. The Plan further states that to meet these goals, the Development Guidelines support redevelopment and public investment in these areas: Continued investment and updating of the public environment as community destinations. Improvement of routes and facilities for alternative transportation, including bicycle infrastructure and parking; and comfortable and direct connections to the city shared use path system. Support for continued urban commercial and mixed -use development. Support high intensity floor area ratios and minimum development intensity standards. Avoid prominent surface parking lots and plan for structured parking with new development and redevelopment. Specific Public Actions the Plan outlines towards these goals include allowing high intensity infill development options that meet street level design objectives. Ames Plan 2040 includes Redirection areas, or areas where changes in use or development patterns are anticipated over the next 20 years and that are opportunities for major redevelopment. While the portion of the URA north of Ontario is designated as Civic – University by Ames Plan 2040 as it was previously owned by Iowa State University, the Plan states that the Redirection area goals and policies apply to government-owned lands that are no longer used for government purposes. Change in these areas to urban uses that address housing and development goals of the City are supported by the Comprehensive Plan. Specific Public Actions identified by the Plan for Redirection areas that s upports the URA designation are to: 464 7 Identify potential development incentives necessary to realize the goal for redevelopment areas, including public improvements, assistance with land assembly where possible and site preparation, and tax increment financ ing for redirection projects that meet city development priorities. Monitor infrastructure quality and availability with potential redevelopment in redirection areas. Evaluate infrastructure to determine capacity to support land use intensification. VIII. TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PROCEDURES Under the Iowa Urban Renewal Law, in order to assist in the developme nt of new private enterprises, the City may be requested to provide a property tax incentive in the form of an agreement that returns certain incremental p roperty tax revenues to a developer as economic development payments. As part of the establishment of an urban renewal area, the City will adopt an ordinance to create a tax increment district (the “TIF District”), within which the property taxes eventually paid by new private development will be used to pay costs of urban renewal projects, including economic development agreements. The use of these tax revenues in this manner is known as tax increment financing (“TIF”). Depending on the date on which a TIF District is legally established and the date on which debt is initially certified within a TIF District, an original taxable valuation is established for the property within a TIF District, which is known as the “base valuation.” The “base valuation” is the assessed value of the taxable property in a TIF District as of January 1 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which a City first certifies the amount of any obligations payable from TIF revenues to be generated within that TIF District. When the value of the property inside a TIF District increases by virtue of new construction or any other reason, the difference between the base valuation and the new property value is the “tax increment” or “incremental value.” Procedurally, after tax increment debt has been incurred within a TIF District, property taxes levied by the city, the county, the school district and the area college against the incremental value, with the exception of taxes levied to repay debt incurred by those jurisdictions and the school district physical plant and equipment and instructional support levies, are allocated by state law to the City’s tax increment fund rather than to each jurisdiction. These new tax dollars are then used to repay any tax increment obligations incurred in the Urban Renewal Area. Review of the proposed projects by City has resulted in a determination that financial assistance is likely required in order to make the projects financially viable through the use of Tax Increment Financing outlined in Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa for public improvements and private development. The City may itself finance public facilities and improvements with Tax Increment Financing (TIF) in accordance with the projects described above. 465 8 Additionally, the City intends to enter into a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) rebate agreement with private developers for projects that meet the objectives of the plan. This may include a rebate of up to 100 percent of eligible incremental property taxes f or the maximum allowed number of years per project Any commitments to Development Agreements with TIF rebates will include a non-appropriation clause so as to not constitute debt to the City. Use of TIF may also be a loan or forgivable loan. IX. General Obligation Bonds The Iowa Urban Renewal Law also allows a municipality the authority to issue and sell general obligation bonds for specified essential and general corporate purposes, including the acquisition and construction of certain public improvements and facilities within the Area. X. PROPERTY ACQUISTION/DISPOSITION The City may acquire property within the area for purposes and objectives consistent with this Plan, which may include the use of eminent domain, as allowed under Chapter 403 and 6A. The City will follow any applicable requirements for the acquisition and disposition of property within the Urban Renewal Area. XI. EFFECTIVE PERIOD This Urban Renewal Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the City Council and will remain in effect until it is repealed by the City Council. State law allows the collection of incremental property taxes generated within the Urban Renewal Area for the existing TIF Area for 20 years and for new TIF Areas created to address slum and blight for the life of the Plan. State law allows the collection of incremental property taxes generated within the Urban Renewal Area to continue with no statutory sunset when an Urban Renewal Area’s purpose is to address slum and blighted areas. Each project or activity to which incremental property tax revenues will be devoted will be subject to such restrictions as may be deemed necessary and appropriate by the City Council XII. PLAN AMENDMENTS This Urban Renewal Plan may be amended in accordance with the procedures set forth in Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa in order to carry out any purposes consistent with state law. XIII. CITY DEBT INFORMATION Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa requires that any urban renewal plan include certain information with respect to City general obligation debt, ability to incur additional debt and the amount of proposed tax increment debt to be incurred . 466 9 1. Current Constitutional Debt Limit $364,431,710 2. Current outstanding general obligation debt $119,520,000 3. Proposed amount of indebtedness to be incurred: A specific amount of debt to be incurred for the Eligible Urban Renewal Projects has not yet been determined. This document is for planning purposes only. The estimated project costs in this Plan are estimate s only and will be incurred and spent over a number of years. In no event will the City’s constitutional debt limit be exceeded. The City Council will consider each project proposal on a case-by-case basis to determine if it is in the City’s best interest to participate before approving an urban renewal project or expense. It is further expected that such indebtedness, including interest on the same, may be financed in whole or in part with tax increment revenues from the Urban Renewal Area. Subject to the foregoing, it is estimated that the cost of the Eligible Urban Renewal Projects as described above will be approximately $34,170,000 as stated in the next column: $34,170,000 (This amount does not include costs related to financing.) XIV. SEVERABILITY CLAUSE If any part of the Plan is determined to be invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity of the Plan as a whole, or any part of the Plan not determined to be invalid or unconstitutional. 467 10 EXHIBIT A Legal Description CAMPUSTOWN URBAN RENEWAL AREA BEGINNING AT A POINT AT THE INTERSECTION OF LINCOLN WAY AND LYNN AVENUE,

IOWA July 27, 2021 Amended November -- 2026 I. INTRODUCTION Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa authorizes cities to establish areas within their boundaries known as "urban renewal areas," and to exercise special powers within these areas. The City of Ames (the "City") applied to the state for a Reinvestment District designation for which the state program requires an Urban Renewal Area as a prerequisite for awarding funding to the City. The purposes of a Reinvestment District overlaps with the intent of Urban Renewal Areas in support of city actions for removal of slum and blight and for economic development purposes. The process by which an urban renewal area may be created begins with the preparation of an urban renewal plan for a proposed geographic area. Initially the boundaries of the URA were designed to coincide with the 75-acre size limitation of the State’s Reinvestment District program. The proposed amendment is necessitated by the continued needs to address improvements to the Lincoln Way Corridor a nd Downtown Area within a broader area than originally contemplated along with additional projects. In addition to defining an area, Iowa Code requires preparation of a Plan identifying the purpose of the URA and the types of projects and activities that will occur within the URA. All affected taxing entities, such as counties and school districts, must be notified and given an opportunity to comment on the proposed plan. The City Council must hold a public hearing on the urban renewal plan, following which, the Council may approve the plan and designate an area. This document is intended to serve as the Urban Renewal Plan for an urban renewal area to be known as the Downtown Reinvestment District Urban Renewal Area (the "Urban Renewal Area"). It is intended that this Urban Renewal Plan will guide the City in promoting economic development and the for the construction of public improvements and facilities. These combined efforts will assist in the removal of slum and blight as originally described as the purpose of this Urban Renewal Area. This document is an Urban Renewal Plan within the meaning of Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa, and it sets out proposed projects to be undertaken within the Urban Renewal Area. 472 II. DESCRIPTION OF URBAN RENEWAL AREA The Urban Renewal Area will be expand from 75 acres to approximately 131 acres. Attachment A depicts the amended boundaries of the URA. Exhibit B is a legal description of the area. III. AREA DESIGNATION The Urban Renewal Area is being designated with a mixed designation. The URA is designated as both an economic development area appropriate for the promotion of commercial development and as an area in which blighted conditions exist and is suitable for remediation activities. Appropriateness for commercial development is based upon the City’s Comprehensive Plan and zoning designations that support commercial, residential, and mixed-use development. Blight conditions apply to a subset of properties within the overall area that meet the Code of Iowa definition of blight. Properties located between Oak Street and Grand Avenue and Lincoln Way and the railroad tracks consist of outdated, deteriorated, and nonconforming buildings and site improvements. Properties between Clark Avenue and Kellogg Avenue north of Lincoln Way and south of the railroad tracks that are primarily vacant land and include lot layouts that are not conducive on their own to development allowed by zoning. Properties between Kellogg Avenue and Duff Avenue are a mix of outdated, deteriorated, and nonconforming buildings and site improvements as well as properties with limited street access or substandard alley access for purposes permitted in the zoning district. IV. BASE VALUE If the Urban Renewal Area is legally established, and a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) ordinance is adopted, then the “base value” of the Area will be the assessed value of the taxable property within the TIF Ordinance area as of January 1 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the City first certifies the amount of any debt to the Area pursuant to Iowa Code Section 403.19. The base value will be determined independently for each Tax Increment Financing Ordinance adopted to implement the Plan. V. URBAN RENEWAL OBJECTIVES The primary objectives for development within the Urban Renewal Area are: 1. To protect the health, safety, and general welfare of City residents through the removal or elimination of substandard conditions that exist in the Area. 2. To contribute to a diversified, well-balanced local economy by retaining and creating job opportunities and strengthening the property tax base, sales tax base, and hotel/motel tax base. 473 3. To stimulate private investment in Downtown and the Lincoln Way Corridor through public action and potential use of various incentives. 4. To help finance the cost of constructing public facilities and infrastructure and improvements in support of commercial development. 5. To provide tax increment financing incentives in the form of economic development payments or other methods authorized by state law. 6. To improve recreational, tourism, and cultural opportunities. 7. To promote development utilizing any other objectives allowed by Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa. VI. RENEWAL PROJECTS AND ACTIVITES The purpose of this Urban Renewal Plan is to facilitate and complement redevelopment in the Urban Core of Ames and other future redevelopment and infill projects consistent with City plans and zoning. To this end the City may engage in planning and design studies, acquire property, provide private development incentives of grants, property tax rebates, or loans,apply or implement building and property maintenance programs for remediation of or prevention of blight, and finance and construct, repair, or rehabilitate public improvements. Nothing in this section should be construed as limiting the range or types of activities or powers granted to the City under Chapter 403 or any other provisions of the Code of Iowa in furtherance of the Urban Renewal Plan. Within the Urban Renewal Area, the Plan includes a publicly owned indoor aquatics center; improvements to public gathering space and a downtown plaza; construction or replacement of public parking, public infrastructure improvements for pedestrians and bicyclists; construction of or replacement of facilities for water, sewer, stormwater, streetscapes, and roads; Lincoln Way Mixed Use Development, Downtown Housing and Mixed Use Projects, removal of or enhancement of blighted building conditions , and other commercial, entertainment, or hospitality private redevelopment projects. The City’s Comprehensive Plan, Ames Plan 2040 identifies the area as a Core and Redirection Area land use designation. The area along Lincoln Way is also included within the Lincoln Way Corridor Plan identifying a desire for the area to redevelop into a gateway for the community and to Downtown. The City of Ames also participated with Downtown Ames in the creation of a Guiding Vision highlighting potential investment opportunities through the Urban Renewal Area. Plan 2040 includes integrated and comprehensive policies regarding land use, growth, mobility, community character, and housing that all related to the URA. The City’s Growth and Land Use Element of Plan 2040 includes Goals 3 and Goal 4 of Enhancing the Urban Fabric and improving Quality of the Urban Experience. G3 -1 recognizes the need to address blight and underperforming infill area to reinvigorate 474 and sustain areas of the City. G1-8 describes a goal to invest in additional commercial opportunities, highlight Downtown and Lincoln Way. The Land Use Element also includes land use designation descriptions for Core and Redirection Areas that describe desired goals, design guidelines, and public action to support reinvestment and expansion of commercial and housing opportunities, update parking facilities, and improved multi-modal facilities. Community Character Element policy C4 identifies a priority of recognizing and reinforcing the sense of place for Downtown. The Downtown Gateway Focus Area is part of the 2018 Lincoln Way Corridor Plan and the primary area planned for new development, including the Lincoln Way Mixed Use Development project. This area is intended to foster redevelopment with a commercial focus that may include residential development. It has been identified as a priority redevelopment area. The Corridor Plan also identifies the area between Oak Avenue and Grand Avenue, the location of the Indoor Aquatics Center as focus area for encouraging redevelopment. The character and vision of Downtown Gateway area should be complimentary to the existing downtown character. The Downtown Gateway Area includes op portunity for collective parking, reduced parking, increased design scrutiny in order to create appealing massing and height through building materials, architectural features, etc., minimizing automotive service-oriented uses, wide sidewalks and improved streetscape along Lincoln Way. This would include uses like, but not limited to, boutique hotel, entertainment and retail, outdoor open space for events and commercial uses, office and employment. Kellogg Avenue is to be the focal point providing a strong connection to the heart of Downtown at Main Street. The combination of projects and consistency with the City’s Comprehensive Plan will address the objectives and purposes of the URA and Plan. The objectives and proposed projects outlined in this Urban Renewal Plan are consistent with the above goals and policies identified and adopted as part of the City's planning process and identified below: 475 Public Improvement Projects: Project Estimated Costs* Rationale Two-story Indoor Aquatics Center, completed 2026 Completed Reconstruction or construction of roadways and public parking facilities, including adjacent landscaping and public sidewalks. Near term improvements may include 6th Street, various intersection, and Duff Avenue. The City is currently evaluating the feasibility of a parking garage within the CBD Lot X. The cost of the project is undetermined and may vary based upon final design and timing. An estimate of $20,000,000 may apply to the parking project. Estimate of $3 million for roadways. Other improvements may occur as early as FY2027-28, but final timing and costs are unknown. The City is anticipating the need to improve the access and function of roadways for vehicular traffic routes with reconfiguration of intersections, on-street and off-street parking, and streetscapes throughout the Area. This includes improvements to public parking lots located both to the south of the railroad tracks and north of the railroad tracks. Downtown Public Space and Amenities – Construct new 1-acre plaza located at 5th Street and Clark Avenue, and other smaller plazas or public spaces and amenities within the Area. Undetermined timing. Costs may vary based upon final design and timing with an initial estimate of $3 million to $5 million. A main plaza is located at Clark and 5th in the heart of downtown with water features and ice skating to attract visitors. Other smaller plaza types public spaces, e.g. Tom Evans, may be expanded and improved over the life of the plan as future redevelopment occurs. 476 Pedestrian and bicycle new and enhanced facilities, including a potential pedestrian bridge crossing of the railroad tracks. Undetermined Costs may vary based upon final design and timing with an initial estimate of $2million to $5 million. Improved connectivity is needed for the area and it is goal of the City to support enhanced multi-modal transportation options. Improved connections will facilitate commerce between retailers. These improvements may be built in conjunction with a development project or as a standalone project. Other Infrastructure Modification and Improvements Rehabilitation, extension, and relocation of water, sanitary sewer, storm water, trash and recycling, electric, communication, gas utility infrastructure, and other similar private/public infrastructure. Undetermined Costs may vary based upon final design and timing with an initial estimate of $1million to $3 million. The City is anticipating the need for any or all of these utilities and other similar private and public utilities to require changes in location and capacity are needed in order to support redevelopment. 477 Other Projects and Development Agreements: Project Estimated Incentive Rationale The City expects to enter a Development Agreement(s) for private redevelopment projects throughout the URA. Notably the planned mixed-use site between Clark and Kellogg on Lincoln Way, known as The Linc, is planned to have a Master Developer, which the City would provide economic development support using tax increment financing. The Linc project is anticipated to consist of offices, retail, restaurants, apartments, hotel, and conference space. This development is expected to start construction in FY 26-27. Additional phases of redevelopment are anticipated between Kellogg and Duff Avenue. Other redevelopment projects will occur throughout the expanded URA. Incentives will be negotiated on an individual basis with a developer based upon a financial need analysis and consistency with development goals for the area. The actual amount is unknown at this time as the specific project has not been finalized, for planning purposes the amount of TIF in total for all development agreements could be up to $56,000,000, depending on the size and scale of a final proposal. This amount of TIF would be for all potential types of redevelopment projects. Office, residential, and mixed-use development are needed to provide a urban live and work opportunity not presently in Ames to retain workforce. A full service hotel and event space would promote increased tourism and visitors downtown and meet existing needs of the business community. Additional office space is needed for new and existing businesses to grow or relocate. 478 Economic Development Grants (examples include, but not limited to, façade improvement grants and loans for private small businesses and redevelopments, including but not limited blight elimination, vacant ground commercial storefront business improvements, building rehabilitation and construction, and site improvements) Individual grant awards or loan amounts would determined at a later date and utilize a matching investment concept. TIF could be a source of funding for this program with an estimated value of $3 million. To spur property improvements and remove blight the City may need to provide direct assistance to businesses seeking to make improvements to buildings or to occupy underutilized and vacant space. This activity supports economic development focused on business start-ups, primarily for small business consistent with the character of the area. Property Acquisition and Site Clearance The City may acquire property to address conditions of blight. The City may also acquire property for economic development purposes. Specific properties and costs are unknown, but not to exceed $6,000,000 utilizing TIF. To spur property improvements and remove blight, the City may need to acquire properties. The City in some cases may acquire facilitate land assemblage for economic development purposes. Planning and Design Studies and Surveys Improvements to the area will require studies and design that may be undertaken by the City or by consultants directed by the City. The City is currently in the process of completing a planning feasibility study for a Downtown parking garage. Actual costs and timing of other studies are unknown, but may be funded by TIF for up to $1million. *All project activities are estimates and final costs may vary. The City may also determine to use tax increment financing to provide other incentives such as loans or tax rebates to developers in connection with blight remediation and/or 479 commercial development or other urban renewal projects. The City may determine to use tax increment financing to reimburse the City for any obligation or advances. If the City determines that construction of a parking facility is a public building as defined by Chapter 403 and it determines the need to utilize TIF, the City will consider an amendment to the Plan as necessary to address findings of feasibility regarding use of TIF for a public building. Nothing herein shall be construed as a limitation on the power of the city to exercise any lawful power granted to the City under Chapter 403. VII. TYPES OF RENEWAL ACTIVITIES A. Tax Increment Financing Review of the proposed projects by City has resulted in a determination that financial assistance is likely required in order to make the projects financially viable through the use of Tax Increment Financing outlined in Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa for public improvements and private development. Under the Iowa Urban Renewal Law, in order to assist in the development of new private enterprises, the City may be requested to provide a property tax incentive in the form of an agreement that returns certain incremental property tax revenues to a developer as economic development payments. As part of the establishment of an urban renewal area, the City may adopt an ordinance to create a tax increment district (s) (the "TIF District"), within which the property taxes eventually paid by new private development will be used to pay costs of urban renewal projects, including economic development agreements. The use of these tax revenues in this manner is known as tax i ncrement financing ("TIF"). Depending on the date on which a TIF District is legally established and the date on which debt is initially certified within a TIF District, an original taxable valuation is established for the property within a TIF District, which is known as the "base valuation." The "base valuation" is the assessed value of the taxable property in a TIF District as of January 1 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which a City first certifies the amount of any obligations payable from TIF revenues to be generated within that TIF District. When the value of the property inside a TIF District increases by virtue of new construction or any other reason, the difference between the base valuation and the new property value is the "tax increment" or "incremental value." Procedurally, after tax increment debt has been incurred within a TIF District, property taxes levied by the city, the county, the school district and the area college against the incremental value, with the exception of taxes levied to repay debt incurred by those jurisdictions and the school district physical plant and equipment and instructional support levies, are allocated by state law to the City's tax increment fund rather than to each jurisdiction. These new tax dollars are then used to repay any tax increment obligations incurred in the Urban Renewal Area. 480 Review of the proposed urban renewal projects by City has resulted in a determination that financial assistance is likely required in order to make the projects financially viable through the use of Tax Increment Financing outlined in Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa for public improvements and private development. The City may itself finance public facilities and improvements with Tax Increment Financing (TIF) in accordance with the projects described above. Additionally, the City intends to enter into a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) rebate agreement with property owners, business owners, or private developers for projects that meet the objectives of the plan. This may include a rebate of up to 100 percent of eligible incremental property taxes for the maximum allowed number of years. or an amount not to exceed $56,000,000, whichever comes first. A TIF agreement will be structured such that the amount of the TIF rebate will not be included as debt subject to the state mandated debt limitation. Additionally, studies and surveys, property acquisition, public improvement, and economic development grants and loans utilizing TIF may also be used to eliminate blight and facilitate redevelopment, building, and site rehabilitation with a total funding estimate of up to $26,000,000. B. General Obligation Bonds The Iowa Urban Renewal Law also allows a municipality the authority to iss ue and sell general obligation bonds for specified essential and general corporate purposes, including the acquisition and construction of certain public improvements and facilities within the Area, including but not limited to the indoor aquatics facility and parking garage. VIII. PROPERTY ACQUISTION/DISPOSITION The City may acquire property within the area for purposes and objectives consistent with this Plan, which may include the use of eminent domain, as allowed under Chapter 403 and 6A. The City will follow any applicable requirements for the acquisition and disposition of property within the Urban Renewal Area . IX. EFFECTIVE PERIOD This Urban Renewal Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the City Council and will remain in effect until it is repealed by the City Council. State law allows the collection of incremental property taxes generated within the Urban Renewal Area to continue with no statutory sunset when an Urban Renewal Area’s purpose is to address slum and blighted areas along with promoting economic development for commercial development. Each project or activity to which incremental property tax revenues 481 will be devoted will be subject to such restrictions as may be deemed necessary and appropriate by the City Council. X. PLAN AMENDMENTS This Urban Renewal Plan may be amended in accordance with the procedures set forth in Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa in order to carry out any purposes consistent with state law. XI. CITY DEBT INFORMATION Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa requires that any urban renewal plan i nclude certain information with respect to City general obligation debt, ability to incur additional debt and the amount of proposed tax increment debt to be incurred.: 1. FY 2021-22 Constitutional Debt Limit $364,431,710 * 2. Current Outstanding General Obligation Debt: $119,520,000 3. Proposed amount of indebtedness to be incurred: A specific amount of debt to be incurred for all of the Eligible Urban Renewal Projects has not yet been determined. This document is merely for planning purposes. The estimated project costs in this Plan are estimates only and will be incurred and spent over a number of years. In no event will the City’s constitutional debt limit be exceeded. The City Council will consider each project proposal on a case-by-case basis to determine if it is in the City’s best interest to participate before approving an urban renewal project or expense. It is further expected that such indebtedness, including interest on the same, may be financed in whole or in part with tax increment revenues from the Urban Renewal Area or the issuance of General Obligation Bonds through referendum. Subject to the foregoing, it is estimated that the cost of the Eligible Urban Renewal Projects as described above will be approximately $82,000,000 of TIF. (This total does not include financing costs related to debt issuance, which will be incurred over the life of the Area). Maximum TIF 82,000,000 *Preliminary; subject to change 482 483 A-7 EXHIBIT A: URBAN RENEWAL AREA BOUNDARY 484 A-8 EXH IBIT B: LEGAL DESCRIPTION The original district boundary is being restated in whole with that additional areas of the 2026 Amendment, see also map of boundaries.

INTRODUCTION Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa authorizes cities to establish areas within their boundaries known as "urban renewal areas," and to exercise special powers within these areas. The process by which an urban renewal area may be created begins with the preparation of an urban renewal plan for a proposed geographic area. The proposed URA is part of the City’s Planned Regional Commercial Area and East Growth Area, near the I-35 and East 13th Street interchange. In addition to defining an area, Iowa Code requires preparation of a Plan identifying the purpose of the URA and the types of projects and activities that will occur within the URA. This Plan designates the urban renewal area as an economic development area. Chapter 15A of the Code of Iowa declares that economic development is a “public purpose” and authorizes local governments to make grants, loans, guarantees, tax incentives and other financial assistance to private enterprise. The statute defines “economic development” as including public investment involving the creation of new jobs and income or the retention of existing jobs and income that would otherwise be lost. A City's Planning and Zoning Commission must review the draft plan and inform the City Council if it is consistent with the City's general plan, for Ames this is Ames Plan 2040. Additionally, all affected taxing entities, such as counties and school districts, must be notified and given an opportunity to comment on the proposed plan. The City Council must hold a public hearing on the urban renewal plan, following which the Council may approve the plan and designate an area. This document is intended to serve as the Urban Renewal Plan for an urban renewal area to be known as the East 13th Street Urban Renewal Area (the "Urban Renewal Area"). It is intended that this Urban Renewal Plan will guide the City in promoting economic development and for the construction of public improvements and facilities. This document is an Urban Renewal Plan within the meaning of Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa, and it sets out proposed projects to be undertaken within the Urban Renewal Area. 488 II. DESCRIPTION OF THE URBAN RENEWAL AREA The East Industrial Urban Renewal Area will include approximately 245 acres of land, plus right-of-way, located along East 13th Street as depicted in Attachment A. A legal description of the property is attached hereto as Exhibit B. Agricultural Land Code of Iowa Chapter 403.17.10 allows agricultural land (as defined by Code of Iowa Chapter 403.17(3)) to be included in an economic development area only with the consent of the owner of the land. The proposed urban renewal area includes 4 parcels that meet the definition of agricultural land, owned by R Pact Holdings and Jordan Elwell LLC. The fifth parcel in the URA does not meet the definition of agriculture land, even though it is under the same ownership. The property owners provided their consent to allow all of their parcels to be included in the urban renewal area, which can be found in Exhibit C. III. AREA DESIGNATION The URA is designated as an economic development area within the meaning of uses and activities authorized by Iowa Code 403. IV. URBAN RENEWAL OBJECTIVES The primary objectives for development within the Urban Renewal Area are: 1. To contribute to a diversified, well-balanced local economy, by creating job opportunities and strengthening the sales tax and property tax base with commercial development. 2. To stimulate private investment through public action and commitment. 3. To help finance the cost of constructing public facilities and infrastructure and improvements in support of development, including but not limited to roadways, water, sanitary sewer, stormwater drainage, and public utilities. 4. To provide economic development incentives for development of project (s) consistent with the goals of Ames Plan 2040 for expansion of the City to the east. 5. To promote development utilizing any other objectives allowed by Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa. 489 V. CITY PLAN Ames has a general plan for the physical development of the City named Ames Plan 2040, adopted December 2021. The goals and objectives of this Urban Renewal Plan, including the urban renewal projects described herein, are in conformity with the City’s Comprehensive Plan for the expansion of the City. Ames Plan 2040 identifies the area east of I-35 along East 13th Street as Tier I and Tier III growth within the East expansion area of the City to meet the commercial, industrial, and housing needs of the City. The East Expansion area includes a variety of uses and a preliminary evaluation of upgraded public facilities needed to serve growth. The URA area consists primarily of the Community Commercial Retail land use designation recognizing the primary need of the City for this area to support commercial development for the community as a whole and for the buildout of the East expansion area . Development in this area will be consistent with the City ’s Comprehensive Plan and implementing zoning districts in place at the time of development. VI. RENEWAL PROJECTS The objectives and proposed projects outlined in this Urban Renewal Plan are consistent with the above goals and policies identified and adopted as part of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The precise timing of projects and development is not known at this time. The projects listed below can be implemented at any time during the life of the URA Plan.

VII. TYPES OF RENEWAL ACTIVITIES A. Tax Increment Financing Review of the proposed projects by the City has resulted in a determination that financial assistance is likely required in order to make the projects financially viable through the use of Tax Increment Financing outlined in Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa for public improvements and private development. Under the Iowa Urban Renewal Law, in order to assist in the development of new private enterprises, the City may be requested to provide a property tax incentive in the form of an agreement that returns certain incremental property tax revenues to a develo per as economic development payments. As part of the establishment of an urban renewal area, the City may adopt an ordinance to create a tax increment financing district(s) (the "TIF District"), within which the property taxes eventually paid by new private development will be used to pay costs of urban renewal projects, including economic development agreements. The use of these tax revenues in this manner is known as tax i ncrement financing ("TIF"). 491 Depending on the date on which a TIF District is legally established and the date on which debt is initially certified within a TIF District, an original taxable valuation is established for the property within a TIF District, which is known as the "base valuation." The "base valuation" is the assessed value of the taxable property in a TIF District as of January 1 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which a City first certifies the amount of any obligations payable from TIF revenues to be generated within that TIF District. When the value of the property inside a TIF District increases by virtue of new construction or any other reason, the difference between the base valuation and the new property value is the "tax increment" or "incremental value." Procedurally, after tax increment debt has been incurred within a TIF District, property taxes levied by the city, the county, the school district and the area college against the incremental value, with the exception of taxes levied to repay debt incurred by those jurisdictions and the school district physical plant and equipment and instructional support levies, are allocated by state law to the City's tax increment fund rather than to each jurisdiction. These new incremental tax dollars are then used to repay any obligations incurred in the Urban Renewal Area. The City may itself finance public facilities and improvements with TIF in accordance with the projects described above. Additionally, the City intends to enter into a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) rebate agreement with private developers for projects that meet the objectives of the plan. This may include a rebate of up to 100 percent of eligible incremental property taxes f or the maximum allowed number of years per project or a set maximum amount, whichever comes first. Any commitments to Development Agreements with TIF rebates will include a non-appropriation clause so as to not constitute debt to the City. B. General Obligation Bonds The Iowa Urban Renewal Law also allows a municipality the authority to issue and sell general obligation bonds for specified essential and general corporate purposes, including the acquisition and construction of certain public improvements and facilities within the Area. 492 VIII. PROPERTY ACQUISTION/DISPOSITION The City may acquire property within the area for purposes and objectives consistent with this Plan, which may include the use of eminent domain, as allowed under Chapter 403 and 6A. The City will follow any applicable requirements for the acquisition and disposition of property within the Urban Renewal Area. IX. EFFECTIVE PERIOD This Urban Renewal Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the City Council and will remain in effect to the extent it is allowed by state law or until it is repealed by the City Council. State law allows the collection of incremental property taxes generated within the Urban Renewal Area for up to twenty-three years for each TIF area. Each project or activity to which incremental property tax revenues will be devoted will be subject to such restrictions as may be deemed necessary and appropriate by the City Council. X. PLAN AMENDMENTS This Urban Renewal Plan may be amended in accordance with the procedures set forth in Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa in order to carry out any purposes consistent with state law. XI. CITY DEBT INFORMATION Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa requires that any urban renewal plan include certain information with respect to City general obligation debt, ability to incur additional debt and the amount of proposed tax increment debt to be incurred. A. FINANCIAL DATA 1. Current Constitutional Debt Limit $364,431,710 2. Current outstanding general obligation debt $119,520,000 3. Proposed amount of indebtedness to be incurred: A specific amount of debt to be incurred for the Eligible Urban Renewal Projects has not yet been determined. This document is for planning purposes only. The estimated project costs in this Plan are estimates only and will be incurred and spent over a number of years. In no event will the City’s constitutional debt limit be exceeded. The City Council will consider each project proposal on a case-by-case basis to determine if it is in the City’s best interest to participate before approving an $22,700,000 (This amount does not include costs related to financing.) 493 urban renewal project or expense. It is further expected that such indebtedness, including interest on the same, may be financed in whole or in part with tax increment revenues from the Urban Renewal Area. Subject to the foregoing, it is estimated that the cost of the Eligible Urban Renewal Projects as described above will be approximately $23,700,000 as stated in the next column: XII.

INTRODUCTION Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa authorizes cities to establish areas within their boundaries known as "urban renewal areas," and to exercise special powers within these areas. The process by which an urban renewal area may be created begins with the preparation of an urban renewal plan for a proposed geographic area. The proposed URA is part of the City’s designated East Industrial area, intended for future industrial development. The area has access to the railroad, Highway 30 and Interstate 35, the ability to extend City infrastructure to serve development, and the land is relatively flat and in large tracts that would be desirable for larger industrial development In addition to defining an area, Iowa Code requires preparation of a Plan identifying the purpose of the URA and the types of projects and activities that will occur within the URA. This Plan designates the urban renewal area as an economic development area. Chapter 15A of the Code of Iowa declares that economic development is a “public purpose” and authorizes local governments to make grants, loans, guarantees, tax incentives and other financial assistance to private enterprise. The statute defines “economic development” as including public investment involving the creation of new jobs and income or the retention of existing jobs and income that would otherwise be lost. A City's Planning and Zoning Commission must review the draft plan and inform the City Council if it is consistent with the City's general plan, for Ames this is Ames Plan 2040. Additionally, all affected taxing entities, such as counties and school districts, must be notified and given an opportunity to comment on the proposed plan. The City Council must hold a public hearing on the urban renewal plan, following which the Council may approve the plan and designate an area. This document is intended to serve as the Urban Renewal Plan for an urban renewal area to be known as the East Industrial Urban Renewal Area (the "Urban Renewal Area"). It is intended that this Urban Renewal Plan will guide the City in promoting economic development and the for the construction of public improvements and facilities. This document is an Urban Renewal Plan within the meaning of Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa, and it sets out proposed projects to be undertaken within the Urban Renewal Area. 503 II. DESCRIPTION OF THE URBAN RENEWAL AREA The East Industrial Urban Renewal Area will include approximately 992 acres of land and right-of-way located along East Lincoln Way and Teller Avenue as depicted in Exhibit A. A legal description of the property is attached hereto as Exhibit B. Agricultural Land Code of Iowa Chapter 403.17.10 allows agricultural land (as defined by Code of Iowa Chapter 403.17(3)) to be included in an economic development area only with the consent of the owner of the land. The proposed urban renewal area includes 24 total parcels that meet the definition of agricultural land, owned by Iowa Land & Building Company, Randy Brekke, LDY LLC, and ITC Midwest LLC. The property owners provided their consent to allow their parcels to be included in the urban renewal area, which can be found in Exhibit C. III. AREA DESIGNATION The URA is designated as an economic development area within the meaning of uses and activities authorized by Iowa Code 403. IV. URBAN RENEWAL OBJECTIVES The primary objectives for development within the Urban Renewal Area are: 1. To contribute to a diversified, well-balanced local economy by retaining and creating job opportunities and strengthening the property tax base by facilitating development of large-scale industrial development. 2. To stimulate private investment through public action and commitment. 3. To help finance the cost of constructing public facilities and infrastructure and improvements in support of industrial development, including but not limited to water, sanitary sewer, stormwater drainage, and public utilities. 4. To provide economic development incentives for development of a project consistent with the large scale industrial development goals. 5. To promote development utilizing any other objectives allowed by Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa. V. CITY PLAN Ames has a general plan for the physical development of the City named Ames Plan 2040, adopted December 2021. The goals and objectives of this Urban Renewal Plan, including the urban renewal projects, are in conformity with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. 504 Ames Plan 2040 designates the URA area as “Employment” (Emp). The Employment category policy goals, development guidelines and public actions support the proposed URA as it will support development as it is in alignment with the vision proposed in the Comprehensive Plan. The Employment Designation supports general industrial areas and large-scale employment centers and planned facilities. It also supports high impact, heavy industrial uses appropriate for large-scale sites. The area is designated for industrial development, and specifically large industrial uses, due to its proximity to highways and rail lines. It also provides large tracts of land for development not available elsewhere in the City, helping to diversify Ames’ employment base. Plan 2040 sets out City policy to focus most new large industrial development and industrial expansion east of I-35 in the URA. The Plan includes Public Actions for implementation, including to implement infrastructure and transportation projects necessary to open the East Industrial area (URA). The following goals are included in the Employment Category, and support the creation of the East Industrial Urban Renewal Area: • Provide attractive and well-functioning settings for a range of industrial enterprises. Sites within the URA will be developed with planned infrastructure extensions according to City standards. Streets, sidewalks & shared use paths, water, sewer, storm sewer and electrical infrastructure are planned. • Minimize impact and external effects on city neighborhoods. The URA will be located away from residential neighborhoods in an area designated for industrial growth. Development in this area will be consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and implementing zoning districts in place at the time of development. VI. RENEWAL PROJECTS The objectives and proposed projects outlined in this Urban Renewal Plan are consistent with the above goals and policies identified and adopted as part of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The precise timing of projects and development is not known at this time.

INTRODUCTION Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa authorizes cities to establish areas within their boundaries known as "urban renewal areas," and to exercise special powers within these areas. The process by which an urban renewal area may be created begins with the preparation of an urban renewal plan for a proposed geographic area. This Urban Renewal Plan for the Iowa State University Research Park (the Plan) was prepared at the direction of the Ames City Council and in conformance with the Code of Iowa Chapter 403 Urban Renewal in 2014. Since approval of the Plan, the City has undertaken certain public improvement projects to support economic development and the expansion of the ISU Research Park. The City of Ames proposes to amend the Urban Renewal Plan to expand the Urban Renewal Area boundaries and to include additional projects and activities to support economic development and growth of the City. This Plan designates the urban renewal area as an economic development area as defined in Chapter 403. The amendment maintains the economic development area designation. Chapter 15A of the Code of Iowa declares that economic de velopment is a “public purpose” and authorizes local governments to make grants, loans, guarantees, tax incentives and other financial assistance to private enterprise. The statute defines “economic development” as including public investment involving the creation of new jobs and income or the retention of existing jobs and income that would otherwise be lost. A City's Planning and Zoning Commission must review the draft plan and inform the City Council if it is consistent with the City's general plan, for Ames this is Ames Plan 2040. Additionally, all affected taxing entities, such as counties and school districts, must be notified and given an opportunity to comment on the proposed plan. The City Council must hold a public hearing on the urban renewal plan, following which the Council may approve the plan and designate an area. 536 II. DESCRIPTION OF THE URBAN RENEWAL AREA The ISU Research Park Urban Renewal Area was originally 285 acres. The amendment will include right-of-way and additional property totaling 460 acres. A legal description of the amended area and map is attached hereto Exhibit A. The area consists of a combination of developed industrial properties, vacant industrial and commercial land, airport property, and rights-of-way. The original boundaries of the Plan included Board of Supervisors consent for area located outside of the City the extension of University Boulevard. Since that time, some of the area has been annexed. The amended Plan continues to include this original approval of county right-of-way generally south of the intersection with Cottonwood Road. Agricultural Land Code of Iowa Chapter 403.17.10 allows agricultural land (as defined by Code of Iowa Chapter 403.17(3)) to be included in an economic development area only with the consent of the owner of the land. The proposed urban renewal area comprises three parcels owned by the ISU Research Park and two parcels owned by Erben Hunziker and Margaret Hunziker Apartments, LLC. that meet the definition of agricultural land. The property owners provided their consent to allow their parcels to be included in the urban renewal area, which can be found in the Appendix. These consents were provided in 2014. The City of Ames is the owner of the Ames Airport property and rents part of the property for agricultural purposes. Consent of including the Airport agricultural property within the amended Plan has been established by the City Council’s approval of the Plan. III. AREA DESIGNATION The URA is designated as an economic development area within the meaning of uses and activities authorized by Iowa Code 403. IV. URBAN RENEWAL OBJECTIVES The primary objectives for development within the Urban Renewal Area are: 1.

Tax Increment Financing Review of the proposed projects by the City has resulted in a determination that financial assistance is likely required in order to make the projects financially viable through the use of Tax Increment Financing outlined in Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa for public improvements and private development. Under the Iowa Urban Renewal Law, in order to assist in the development of new private enterprises, the City may be requested to provide a property tax incentive in the form of an agreement that returns certain incremental property tax revenues to a developer as economic development payments. As part of the establishment of an urban renewal area, the City may adopt an ordinance to create a tax increment financing district(s) (the "TIF District"), within which the property taxes eventually paid by new private development will be used to pay costs of urban renewal projects, including economic development agreements. The use of these tax revenues in this manner is known as tax increment financing ("TIF"). Depending on the date on which a TIF District is legally established and the date on which debt is initially certified within a TIF District, an original taxable valuati on is established for the property within a TIF District, which is known as the "base valuation." The "base valuation" is the assessed value of the taxable property in a TIF District as of January 1 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which a City first certifies the amount of any obligations payable from TIF revenues to be generated within that TIF District. When the value of the property inside a TIF District increases by virtue of new construction or any other reason, the difference betwe en the base valuation and the new property value is the "tax increment" or "incremental value." Procedurally, after tax increment debt has been incurred within a TIF District, property taxes levied by the city, the county, the school district and the area college against the incremental value, with the exception of taxes levied to repay debt incurred by those jurisdictions and the school district physical plant and equipment and instructional support 540 levies, are allocated by state law to the City's tax increment fund rather than to each jurisdiction. These new incremental tax dollars are then used to repay any obligations incurred in the Urban Renewal Area. The City may itself finance public facilities and improvements with TIF in accordance with the projects described above. Additionally, the City intends to enter into a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) rebate agreement with private developers for projects that meet the objectives of the plan. This may include a rebate of up to 100 percent of eligible incremental property taxes for the maximum allowed number of years per project or a set maximum amount, whichever comes first. Any commitments to Development Agreements with TIF rebates will include a non-appropriation clause so as to not constitute debt to the City. B. General Obligation Bonds The Iowa Urban Renewal Law also allows a municipality the authority to issue and sell general obligation bonds for specified essential and general corporate purposes, including the acquisition and construction of certain public improvements and facilities within the Area. VIII. PROPERTY ACQUISTION/DISPOSITION The City may acquire property within the area for purposes and objectives consistent with this Plan, which may include the use of eminent domain, as allowed under Chapter 403 and 6A. The City will follow any applicable requirements for the acquisition and disposition of property within the Urban Renewal Area. IX. EFFECTIVE PERIOD This Urban Renewal Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the Cit y Council and will remain in effect to the extent it is allowed by state law or until it is repealed by the City Council. State law allows the collection of incremental property taxes generated within the Urban Renewal Area for up to twenty-three years for each TIF area. Each project or activity to which incremental property tax revenues will be devoted will be subject to such restrictions as may be deemed necessary and appropriate by the City Council. X. PLAN AMENDMENTS This Urban Renewal Plan may be amended in accordance with the procedures set forth in Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa in order to carry out any purposes consistent with state law. 541 XI. CITY DEBT INFORMATION Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa requires that any urban renewal plan include certain information with respect to City general obligation debt, ability to incur additional debt and the amount of proposed tax increment debt to be incurred. A. FINANCIAL DATA 1. Current Constitutional Debt Limit $364,431,710 2. Current outstanding general obligation debt $119,520,000 3. Proposed amount of indebtedness to be incurred: A specific amount of debt to be incurred for the Eligible Urban Renewal Projects has not yet been determined. This document is for planning purposes only. The estimated project costs in this Plan are estimates only and will be incurred and spent over a number of years. In no event will the City’s constitutional debt limit be exceeded. The City Council will consider each project proposal on a case-by-case basis to determine if it is in the City’s best interest to participate before approving an urban renewal project or expense. It is further expected that such indebtedness, including interest on the same, may be financed in whole or in part with tax increment revenues from the Urban Renewal Area. Subject to the foregoing, it is estimated that the cost of the Eligible Urban Renewal Projects, past and future, as described above will be approximately $27,000,000 as stated in the next column: $27,000,000 (This amount does not include costs related to financing.) XII. SEVERABILITY CLAUSE If any part of the Plan is determined to be invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity of the Plan as a whole, or any part of the Plan not determined to be invalid or unconstitutional. 542 EXHIBIT A 543 9 EXHIBIT B: LEGAL DESCRIPTION Original Area Description Beginning at the Southwest (SW) corner of the Northwest Quarter (NW ¼) of Section 22, Township 83 North, Range 24 West of the 5th PM, Story County, Iowa; thence North along the West line of said Section 22 to the Northwest (NW) corner of said Section 22, also the Southwest (SW) corner of Section 15, Township 83 North, Range 24 West of the 5th PM, Story County, Iowa; thence North along the West line of said Section 15 to the centerline of Airport Road, also being the Northwest corner of the Southwest Quarter (SW ¼) of the Southwest Quarter (SW ¼) of said Section 15; thence easterly along the centerline of Airport Road to the centerline of South Loop Drive; thence following the centerline of South Loop Drive to the centerline of Airport Road; thence easterly along the centerline of Airport Road to the East right-of-way line (extended) of South Riverside Drive; thence South along the East right-of-way line of South Riverside Drive to the South line of the North Half (N ½) of said Section 22; thence West along the South line of the North Half (N ½) of said Section 22 to the Southwest (SW) corner of the Northwest Quarter (NW ¼) of said Section 22 also being the point of beginning; and The East 33 feet of the Northeast Quarter (NE ¼) of Section 21, Township 83 North, Range 24 West of the 5th PM, Story County, Iowa, being the west half of the right-of- way of S 530th Avenue and lying within unincorporated Story County; and The East 33 feet of Parcel “C” of the Southeast ¼ of the Southeast ¼ (SE ¼ SE ¼) of Section 16, Township 83 North, Range 24 West of the 5th PM, as described in a Plat of Survey recorded in the office of the Story County Recorder on October 12, 1998 on Slide 4 page 1 of the Recorder’s Plat Cabinet as Instrument Number 98- 14136, being the west half of the right-of-way of S 530th Avenue and lying within unincorporated Story County; and The East 33 feet of that part of the Southeast ¼ of the Southeast ¼ of Section 16, Township 83 North, Range 24 West of the 5th PM, bounded as follows: On the Northeast by the East line of said Southeast ¼ of the Southeast ¼ of Section 16; On the Northwest by a line parallel with and distant 50 feet Northwesterly, measured at right angles, from the center line of the main track (now removed) of the Des Moines and Minnesota Railroad Company (now the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company), as said main track center line was originally located and established over and across said Section 16; On the Southwest by the South line of said Southeast ¼ of Section 16; And on the Southeast by said above described original main track center line, as described in a Deed recorded in the office of the Story County Recorder on February 8, 1991 as Instrument Number 05678, being the west half of the right-of-way of S 530th Avenue and lying within unincorporated Story County; and The East 50 feet of Wessex Subdivision as described in a Subdivision Plat recorded in the office of the Story County Recorder on January 6, 1998 as Instrument Number 98- 544 10 00182, also known as Lot “B” of said Wessex Subdivision and being the west half of the right-of-way of University Boulevard (Elwood Drive); and Lot 3 except Parcel K (CFN 12-96), of Iowa State University Research Park Second Addition; and The right-of-way of University Boulevard lying between a point 825 feet North of the centerline of Airport Road and the centerline of Airport Road and Oakwood Road, and The northerly half of the right-of-way of Airport Road abutting Lot 3 except Parcel K (CFN 12-96), of Iowa State University Research Park Second Addition. 2026 Additional Area To be updated and finalized, with Airport and Riverside Rd properties, Billy Sunday Property, ISU Research Park Phase 1 (North and South Loop Drive), Airport RD right, of way, South Duff right of way, University Blvd right of way, Lincoln Way right of way, Cottonwood Drive right of way. 545 11 EXHIBIT C: AGRICULTURAL LAND CONSENTS 546 12 547 13 Exhibit D Board Of Supervisors Consent Unincorporated Land 548 14 549 North Dayton Industrial Subdivision Urban Renewal Area Amendment The North Dayton Industrial Subdivision Urban Renewal Area Amendment increases the area and modifies the projects within the URA. 1) Additional Area.

INTRODUCTION The North Growth Urban Renewal Plan (“Plan” or “Urban Renewal Plan”) for the North Growth Urban Renewal Area (“Area” or “Urban Renewal Area”) has been developed to help local officials promote economic development in the City of Ames, Iowa (“City”). The primary goal of the Plan is to stimulate, through public involvement and commitment, private investment in new housing and residential development as defined in the Code of Iowa Section 403.17(12). In order to achieve this objective, the City intends to undertake urban renewal activities pursuant to the powers granted to it under Chapter 403 and Chapter 15A of the Code of Iowa, as amended. B. DESCRIPTION OF THE URBAN RENEWAL AREA The Urban Renewal Area is described in Exhibit “A” and illustrated in Exhibit “B.” The Area includes 358.12 acres. C. AREA DESIGNATION With the adoption of this Plan, the City designates the Urban Renewal Area as an economic development area that is appropriate as appropriate for encouraging development related to commercial development and for housing and residential development. D. BASE VALUE If the Urban Renewal Area is legally established, a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) ordinance is adopted to establish a TIF district in the Area, and debt related to the Area is certified, the frozen “base value” will be the assessed value of the taxable property within that area covered by the TIF ordinance as of January 1 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the City first certifies the amount of any debt related to the Area, in accordance with Iowa Code Section 403.19. The City may create one or more TIF areas within the URA. E. DEVELOPMENT PLAN Ames has a general plan for the physical development of the City as a whole outlined in the Ames Plan 2040, adopted December 2021. The area within the URA is identified as a Tier 1 growth area of the City as part of the North Growth area of the City. Development is anticipated to consist of a mix of neighborhood commercial, single - family housing and multi-family housing. Infrastructure and other public improvements area needed to serve the development and have been identified within the Comprehensive Plan and subsequent planning efforts. goals and objectives of this Urban Renewal Plan, including the urban renewal projects, are in conformity with the 555 Final - Revised City’s Comprehensive Plan. The Guiding Principles for neighborhoods and housing in the Ames Plan 2040 Comprehensive Plan inform the goals of the City of Ames for housing policy. The following principles that guide development within the North Growth URA are: H1 Housing Choice and Attainability H3 New Development Areas That Build Community The Mobility section in Ames Plan 2040 lays out the Transportation policies for the City. The following Sections apply to the North Growth URA: M5: Balanced Transportation Planning M6: Transportation-Economic Development Link - 3 - 556 Final - Revised The need for improved traffic, public transportation, public utilities, recreational and community facilities, or other public improvements within the Urban Renewal Area is set forth in this Plan. As the Area develops, the timing and need for public infrastructure extensions and upgrades will be evaluated and planned for by the City. F. RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT The City’s primary objective for the Urban Renewal Area is to promote new housing and residential development. The City realizes that the availability of housing is an important component of attracting new business and industry, responding to new development, and retaining existing businesses. In anticipation of expected economic development, the City has taken the position of supporting the creation of new housing opportunities, including increasing the number of lots available for the construction of new houses. Providing incentives to developers may ease the cost of extending necessary infrastructure and other factors that can make residential development more risky and less profitable. G. PLAN OBJECTIVES Renewal activities are designed to provide opportunities, incentives, and sites for new residential development within the Urban Renewal Area. More specific objectives for the development, redevelopment and rehabilitation within the Urban Renewal Area are as follows: 1. To increase the availability of housing opportunities, which may in turn attract and retain local industries and commercial enterprises that will strengthen and revitalize the economy of the State of Iowa and the City of Ames. 2. To stimulate, through public action and commitment, private investment in new housing and residential development, and neighborhood commercial development. 3. To plan for and provide sufficient land for residential development in a manner that is efficient from the standpoint of providing municipal services. 4. To help finance the cost of constructing street, water, sanitary sewer, storm water drainage, public utilities, street lighting, trails, parks, and other public improvements in support of new housing development. 557 Final - Revised 5. To achieve a diversified, well-balanced economy providing a desirable standard of living, creating job opportunities, and strengthening the tax base. H. TYPES OF RENEWAL ACTIVITIES To meet the objectives of this Urban Renewal Plan and to encourage the development of the Area, the City intends to utilize the powers conferred under Chapter 403 and any other provisions of the Code of Iowa including, but not limited to, tax increment financing. Activities may include: 1. To undertake and carry out urban renewal projects through the execution of contracts and other instruments. 2. To arrange for or cause to be provided the construction or repair of public improvements, including but not limited to infrastructure for streets, curbs and gutters, water, sanitary sewer, trails, storm water, parks, public utilities, Public Safety Facilities or other facilities in connection with urban renewal projects. 3 To finance programs that will directly benefit housing conditions and promote the availability of housing in the community. 4. To make loans, forgivable loans, grants, tax rebate payments, or other types of economic development grants or incentives to private developers or incentivize the development of housing within the Area, on such terms as may be determined by the City Council. 5. To borrow money and to provide security therefore. 6. To acquire or dispose of property. 7. To make or have made surveys and plans necessary for the implementation of the Urban Renewal Plan or specific urban renewal projects. 8. To use tax increment financing for a number of objectives, including, but not limited to, financing the construction of public improvements and to provide economic incentives to developers in order to eliminate obstacles to the provision of housing and neighborhood commercial development with necessary physical improvements and infrastructure. . 558 Final - Revised 9. To use any or all other powers granted by the Urban Renewal Act to develop and provide for improved economic conditions for the City. Nothing herein shall be construed as a limitation on the power of the City to exercise any lawful power granted to the City under Chapter 15, Chapter 15A, Chapter 403, Chapter 427B, or any other provision of the Code of Iowa in furtherance of the objectives of this Urban Renewal Plan. I. ELIGIBLE URBAN RENEWAL PROJECTS Although certain project activities may occur over a period of years, the Eligible Urban Renewal Projects under this Urban Renewal Plan include: - 7 - 559 Final - Revised 1. Table #1 Project Estimated Project Date Estimated Cost Rationale Construction of multi- modal corridor and intersection improvements for Cameron School Road and George Washington Carver Avenue. Improvements may consist of a roundabout or traditional widening and signal improvements. 2027-2036 $2,000,000 Improving multi-modal traffic capacity and providing safe traffic flow at an existing intersection to accommodate traffic growth in the area. Construction of new Culvert crossing with a residential collector street improvement near 190th Street and Hyde Avenue. Utilize development TIF rebate for financing. 2027-2036 $750,000 Facilitate enhanced connections for vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians for improved convenience and safety. Construction of a Fire House 2029- 2036 $800,000 To provide increased fire and medical response coverage in north Ames. Commercial Economic Development TIF Rebate 2030 $900,000 To provide a financial incentive for economic development activities in the Bluffs and Greenbriar Subdivisions to support neighborhood commercial development and or for infrastructure improvements Park Improvements, Greenways and Trails, including trail crossing of railroad. 2028- 2050 $6,000,000 Provide needed recreational facilities to support a healthy residential living environment and to make connections with other existing and planned trails. 560 Final - Revised Arterial Street Oversizing and roundabouts 2027- 2036 $900,000 To assist with increasing the capacity of arterial streets and managing safe travel. TOTAL 11,345,000 1A. Public Building Financing Other Improvements The City has identified a need for expanded public safety facilities within the URA of a Fire House as identified above. The Fire House is an essential facility to meet public safety needs related to fire and medical response services related to growth in the north part of the City. The Fire House is a temporary facility to house one company of fire fighters and is not a complete fire station. The City recently approved a general obligation bond of $10.5 million dollars for the reconstruction of Fire Station No. 2 within the existing central area of Ames. All funding from this bond measure is allocated to Fire Station No. 2 and no other funding is available for expanding service to meet the growing needs to the north. Utilizing TIF generated from development in the North Growth URA to support a facility serving this growth is an essential project within the Plan and it allows for financing the construction and equipping of the facility as development occurs to meet the needs of the area. Iowa Code 403.5 (1) (b) requires a review of alternatives and a finding that use of TIF for a public building is more feasible with use of TIF. Lack of certainty and additional costs could inhibit achieving the goals of the Plan. Use of the General Funds to directly finance new facilities is not feasible with recent caps on General Fund Growth to 2%. The Cost of the facilities could consume the entire allowed growth in general fund expenditures before accounting for any other general fund cost increases of needs in the community. General Obligation bonds for public safety facilities are not an essential corporate purpose, meaning the voter approval may be required. Voters recently approved General Obligation Bonds for Fire Station No. 2 reconstruction and the City does not believe that with property tax limitations and concerns about property taxes that additional Bonds for public safety will not occur while making debt service payments for the reconstruction of Station No.2. Providing public safety improvements are essential improvement to support the desired housing investment in this area, which will increase the overall tax base for the City, County, and Gilbert School District. Adding housing generates additional students for the Gilbert Schools. Utilizing TIF revenue from development within the URA is the most predictable and best option to pay for improvements as they are needed to serve the URA because of the unknown of timing, phasing, and demands with development of the area. 561 Final - Revised 2. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS Future Development Agreements: The City expects to consider, in the City’s sole discretion, requests for development agreements for projects that are consistent with, and advance the objectives of, this Plan. Such agreements are unk nown at this time, but based on past history, and dependent on development opportunities and climate, the City expects to consider a broad range of incentives as authorized by this Plan . Will not exceed $8,000,000 The cost of such agreements are not known because future decisions about future city initiated projects and developer rebates for infrastructure are not known. Any commitments to Development Agreements with TIF rebates will include a non - appropriation clause. J. FINANCIAL DATA 1. Current Constitutional Debt Limit $364,431,710 2. Current outstanding general obligation debt $119,520,000 —9 - 562 - 11 - Revised 3. Proposed amount of indebtedness to be incurred: A specific amount of debt to be incurred for the Eligible Urban Renewal Projects has not yet been determined. This document is for planning purposes only. The estimated project costs in this Plan are estimates only and will be incurred and spent over a number of years. In no event will the City’s constitutional debt limit be exceeded. The City Council will consider each project proposal on a case-by-case basis to determine if it is in the City’s best interest to participate before approving an urban renewal project or expense. It is further expected that such indebtedness, including interest on the same, may be financed in whole or in part with tax increment revenues from the Urban Renewal Area. Subject to the foregoing, it is estimated that the cost of the Eligible Urban Renewal Projects as described above will be approximately as stated in the next column: $11,345,000 (This amount does not include costs related to financing.) K. URBAN RENEWAL FINANCING The City intends to utilize various financing tools such as those described below to successfully undertake the proposed urban renewal actions. The City has the statutory authority to use a variety of tools to finance physical improvements within the Area. These include: A. Tax Increment Financing. Under Section 403.19 of the Code of Iowa, urban renewal areas may utilize the tax increment financing mechanism to finance the costs of public improvements, economic development incentives, or other urban renewal projects. The City may issue Tax Increment Revenue Bonds for these purposes. Upon creation of a tax increment district within the Area, by ordinance, the assessment base is frozen and the amount of tax revenue available from taxes paid on the difference between the frozen base and the increased value, if any, is segregated into a separate fund for the use by the City to pay costs of the eligible urban renewal projects. Certain increased taxes generated by any new development, above the base value, are distributed to the taxing entities, if not requested by the City, and in any event upon the expiration of the tax increment district. B. General Obligation Bonds. The Iowa Urban Renewal Law also allows a municipality the authority to issue and sell general obligation bonds for specified essential and general corporate purposes, including the acquisition and construction of certain public improvements and facilities within the Area, including but not limited to the Fire House facility. 563 - 12 - Revised Nothing herein shall be construed as a limitation on the power of the City to exercise any lawful power granted to the City under Chapter 15, Chapter 15A, Chapter 403, Chapter 427B, or any other provision of the Code of Iowa in furtherance of the objectives of this Urban Renewal Plan. L. PROPERTY ACQU ISITION/DISPOSITION The City will follow any applicable requirements for the acquisition and disposition of property within the Urban Renewal Area. M. RELOCATION The City does not expect there to be any relocation required as part of the eligible urban renewal projects; however, if any relocation is necessary, the City will follow all applicable relocation requirements. N. AGRICULTURAL LAND Because the Urban Renewal Area contains land that is defined as “a gricultural land” by Iowa Code Section 403.17(3), the City must have consent from the owners of the agricultural land prior to including such land in the Urban Renewal Area. The City has requested consent from the owners of agricultural land proposed to be included in the Urban Renewal Area. A copy of the agricultural landowner agreements are attached hereto as Exhibit “C.” The original signed agreements will be placed on file in the City Clerk’s office. O. STATE AND LOCAL REOUIREMENTS All provisions necessary to conform to state and local laws will be complied with by the City and the developer in implementing this Urban Renewal Plan and its supporting documents. P. URBAN RENEWAL PLAN AMENDMENTS 564 - 12 - Final - Revised This Urban Renewal Plan may be amended from time to time for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to, a change in the Area, to add or change land use controls and regulations, to modify goals or types of renewal activities, to add or change urba n renewal projects, or to amend property acquisition and disposition provisions. The City Council may amend this Plan in accordance with applicable state law. Q. EFFECTIVE PERIOD This Urban Renewal Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the City Council and will remain in effect as a Plan until it is repealed by the City Council. With respect to property included within the Urban Renewal Area, which is also included in an ordinance which designates that property as a tax increment district (s) (TIF district) and is designated based on an economic development finding, to provide or to assist in the provision of public improvements related to housing and residential development, the use of incremental property tax revenues or the “division of revenue ,” as those words are used in Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa, is limited to 23 years beginning with the second fiscal year following the year in which the City first certifies to the County Auditor the amount of any loans, advances, indebtedness, or bonds which qualify for payment from the incremental property tax revenues attributable to that property within the Urban Renewal Area. At all times, the use of tax increment financing revenues (including the amount of loans, advances, indebtedness, or bonds which qualify for payment from the division of revenue provided in Section 403.19 of the Code of Iowa) by the City for activities carried out under the Urban Renewal Area shall be limited as deemed appropriate by the City Council and consistent with all applicable provisions of law. R. SEVERABILITY CLAUSE If any part of the Plan is determined to be invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity of the Plan as a whole, or any part of the Plan not determined to be invalid or unconstitutional. 565 - 15 - Final - Revised EXHIBIT A LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF NORTHWEST URBAN RENEWAL AREA PART OF THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER IN SECTION 20, TOWNSHIP 84 NORTH, RANGE 24 WEST OF THE 5TH P.M., STORY COUNTY IOWA, DESCRIBING AS FOLLOWS: THE EAST (60) FEET OF THE SE 1/4 OF THE SE 1/4 IN SECTION 20, T84N, R24W, EXCEPT PARCEL “T” AND EXCEPT THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBED BOUNDARY RECORDED IN BOOK 589, PAGE 164, STORY COUNTY, IOWA; COMMENCING AT THE EAST QUARTER CORNER OF SAID SECTION 20; THENCE S00°44’39”E, 1314.42 FEET ALONG THE EAST LINE OF THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF SAID SECTION 20 TO THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER AND THE POINT OF BEGINNING; THENCE N89°53’22”W, 430.86 FEET ALONG THE NORTH LINE OF THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF SAID SECTION 20; THENCE S00°35’18”E, 418.01 FEET; THENCE S89°53’22”E, 432.00 FEET TO THE EAST LINE OF SAID SOUTHEAST QUARTER; THENCE N00°44’39”W, 418.03 FEET ALONG SAID EAST LINE TO THE POINT OF BEGINNING, CONTAINING 4.14 ACRES, SUBJECT TO EXISTING PUBIC ROAD RIGHT OF WAY.

MAP OF ONTARIO-SCHOLL URBAN RENEWAL AREA 578 Final - Revised Ontario-Scholl Urban Renewal Plan for the Ontario-Scholl Urban Renewal Area City of Ames, Iowa A. INTRODUCTION The Ontario-Scholl Urban Renewal Plan (“Plan” or “Urban Renewal Plan”) for the Ontario-Scholl Urban Renewal Area (“Area” or “Urban Renewal Area”) has been developed to help local officials promote economic development in the City of Ames, Iowa (“City”). The primary goal of the Plan is to stimulate, through public involvement and commitment, private investment in new housing and residential development as defined in the Code of Iowa Section 403.17(12). In order to achieve this objective, the City intends to undertake urban renewal activities pursuant to the powers granted to it under Chapter 403 and Chapter 15A of the Code of Iowa, as amended. B. DESCRIPTION OF THE URBAN RENEWAL AREA The Urban Renewal Area is described in Exhibit “A” and illustrated in Exhibit “B.” The Area includes approximately 17.4 acres. C. AREA DESIGNATION With the adoption of this Plan, the City designates the Urban Renewal Area as an economic development area that is appropriate for housing and residential development. D. BASE VALUE If the Urban Renewal Area is legally established, a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) ordinance is adopted to establish a TIF district in the Area, and debt related to the Area is certified, the frozen “base value” will be the assessed value of the taxable property within that area covered by the TIF ordinance as of January 1 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the City first certifies the amount of any debt related to the Area, in accordance with Iowa Code Section 403.19. The City may create one or more TIF areas within the URA. E. DEVELOPMENT PLAN Ames has a general plan for the physical development of the City as a whole outlined in the Ames Plan 2040, adopted December 2021. The proposed land use is residential. The property was recently sold by Iowa State 579 Final - Revised University to local developers with the intention of residential development. The land was previously used for row crops and for growing a prairie for teaching purposes. The Ames Plan 2040 Future Land Use Map designates this land, and the ISU property north of the railroad tracks, Civic – University. In the Redirection section of Ames Plan 2040, the development guidelines state: “[c]ivic or public land designations will requ ire a Future Land Use Map amendment prior to rezoning for any use other than RN -3 with single-family zoning.” The RN-3 (Expansion) land use designation includes rezoning to FS-RL, which is the proposed base zoning district for the subject property along wi th the PUD Overlay. As such, the land use designation for this property does not need to be changed to accommodate the residential use. The proposed residential use is therefore in compliance with the comprehensive plan. The proposed development aligns with the following policies in Ames Plan 2040: Contiguous Greenfield Development: Ames will accommodate much of its projected population growth in areas contiguous to the existing built-up city. - G2-1. Provide a choice in the residential market and reduce t he distance to major employment and activity centers by distributing growth in multiple directions. Infill That Enhances Urban Fabric: Ames will take advantage of infill sites within the existing urbanized area to increase both the efficiency and quality of its urban environment. - G3-1. Identify infill properties and areas within the existing built -up area, focusing on sites that are 1) vacant and buildable; 2) underutilized or sporadically developed; 3) occupied by unnecessary parking, storage yards, or ot her paved areas; and 4) blighting influences in neighborhoods. - G3-2. Coordinate infill development with the capacity of existing infrastructure. - G3-3. Use prevailing density as the guide for redevelopment but allow for building variations to meet infill objectives. Make smooth transitions in scale and intensity of use from pre-existing context to higher intensity development. Support high-density redevelopment only in planned or targeted land use redirection areas. - G3-4. Establish design standards and guidelines for individual infill sites that are compatible with the scale of surrounding neighborhoods or other urban design factors. In specific areas, planned increases in intensity of use will determine increased height and an urban form, but still include architectural design quality. - G3-5. Include within infill projects missing transportation and trail links necessary to complete system continuity. Quality Urban Experience: New development areas will support a healthy and safe urban environment to be enjoyed by all residents. 580 Final - Revised - G4-1. Within new development areas, provide public spaces that promote positive interaction (e.g., parks, gardens, trails) and private amenity spaces that support social engagement and interaction (e.g., commercial plazas, outdoor space, clubhouses, walking trails). Planning for Equity: The city will work to include the diverse voices, opinions, and needs of the range of residents who call Ames home. - G6-1. Use the land use map and housing policies to support low income and diverse housing choices. Consider options for integration of housing choices within new developments, such as inclusionary housing standards and incentives in zoning that encourage builders and developers to develop a range of housing types, occupancy forms, and price points. F. RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT The City’s primary objective for the Urban Renewal Area is to promote new housing and residential development. The City realizes that the availability of housing is an important component of attracting new business and industry, responding to new development, and retaining existing businesses. In anticipation of expected economic development, the City has taken the position of supporting the creation of new housing opportunities, including increasing the number of lots available for the construction of new houses. Providing incentives to developers may ease the cost of extending necessary infrastructure and other factors that can make residential development more risky and less profitable. G. PLAN OBJECTIVES Renewal activities are designed to provide opportunities, incentives, and sites for new residential development within the Urban Renewal Area. More specific objectives for the development, redevelopment and rehabilitation within the Urban Renewal Area are as follows: 1. To increase the availability of housing opportunities, which may in turn attract and retain local industries and commercial enterprises that will strengthen and revitalize the economy of the State of Iowa and the City of Ames. 2. To stimulate, through public action and commitment, private investment in new housing and residential development. 3. To plan for and provide sufficient land for residential development in a manner that is efficient from the standpoint of providing municipal services. 4. To help finance the cost of constructing street, water, sanitary sewer, storm water drainage, public utilities, street lighting, trails, parks, and other public improvements in support of new housing development. 581 Final - Revised H. TYPES OF RENEWAL ACTIVITIES To meet the objectives of this Urban Renewal Plan and to encourage the development of the Area, the City intends to utilize the powers conferred under Chapter 403 and any other provisions of the Code of Iowa including, but not limited to, tax increment financing. Activities may include: 1. To undertake and carry out urban renewal projects through the execution of contracts and other instruments. 2. To arrange for or cause to be provided the construction or repair of public improvements, including but not limited to infrastructure for streets, curbs and gutters, water, sanitary sewer, trails, storm water, parks, public utilities, Public Safety Facilities or other facilities in connection with urban renewal projects. 3. To finance programs that will directly benefit housing conditions and promote the availability of housing in the community. 4. To make loans, forgivable loans, grants, tax rebate payments, or other types of economic development grants or incentives to private developers or o incentivize the development of housing within the Area, on such terms as may be determined by the City Council. 5. To borrow money and to provide security therefore. 6. To make or have made surveys and plans necessary for the implementation of the Urban Renewal Plan or specific urban renewal projects. 7. To use tax increment financing for a number of objectives, including, but not limited to, financing the construction of public improvements and providing economic incentives to developers in order to eliminate obstacles to the provision of housing and neighborhood commercial development with necessary physical improvements and infrastructure. 8. To use any or all other powers granted by the Urban Renewal Act to develop and provide for improved economic conditions for the City. Nothing herein shall be construed as a limitation on the power of the City to exercise any lawful power granted to the City under Chapter 15, Chapter 15A, Chapter 403, Chapter 427B, or any other provision of the Code of Iowa in furtherance of the objectives of this Urban Renewal Plan. I. ELIGIBLE URBAN RENEWAL PROJECTS Although certain project activities may occur over a period of years, the Eligible Urban Renewal Projects under this Urban Renewal Plan include: 582 Final - Revised 1. Table #1 Project Estimate Project Date Estimate Cost Rationale Reconstruction of Scholl Road between Ontario Street and the Union Pacific Railroad Tracks, with all related improvements 2027-2030 $870,000 The existing Scholl Road had been a private road owned and maintained by Iowa State University. The road currently has no curb or storm sewer. The Urban Renewal funds will help pay to bring the road up to commercial standards, beyond the normal residential standards required of the surrounding residential project. 2. Development Agreements Future Development Agreements: The City expects to consider, at the City’s sole discretion, requests for development agreements for projects that are consistent with, and advance the objectives of, this Plan. Any commitments to Development Agreements with TIF rebates will include a non-appropriation clause. J. FINANCIAL DATA 1. Current Constitutional Debt Limit $364,431,710 2. Current outstanding general obligation debt $119,520,000 3. Proposed amount of indebtedness to be incurred: A specific amount of debt to be incurred for the Eligible Urban Renewal Projects has not yet been determined. This document is for planning purposes only. The estimated project costs in this Plan are estimates only and will be incurred and spent over a num ber of years. In no event will the City’s constitutional debt limit be exceeded. The City Council will consider each project $870,000 (This amount does not include costs related to financing.) 583 Final - Revised proposal on a case-by-case basis to determine if it is in the City’s best interest to participate before approving an urban renewal project or expense. It is further expected that such indebtedness, including interest on the same, may be financed in whole or in part with tax increment revenues from the Urban Renewal Area. Subject to he foregoing, it is estimated that eh cost of the Eligible Urban Renewal Projects as described above will be approximately as stated in the next column: K. URBAN RENEWAL FINANCING The City intends to utilize various financing tools such as those described below to successfully undertake the proposed urban renewal actions. The City has the statutory authority to use a variety of tools to finance physical improvements within the Area. These include: A. Tax Increment Financing. Under Section 403.19 of the Code of Iowa, urban renewal areas may utilize the tax increment financing mechanism to finance the costs of public improvements, economic development incentives, or other urban renewal projects. The City may issue Tax Increment Revenue Bonds for these purposes. Upon creation of a tax increment district within the Area, by ordinance, the assessment base is frozen and the amount of tax revenue available from taxes paid on the difference between the frozen base and the increased value, if any, is segregated into a separate fund for the use by the City to pay costs of the eligible urban renewal projects. Certain increased taxes generated by any new development, above the base value, are distributed to the taxing entities, if not requested by the City, and in any event upon the expiration of the tax increment district. B. General Obligation Bonds. The Iowa Urban Renewal Law also allows a municipality the authority to issue and sell general obligation bonds for specified essential and general corporate purposes, including the acquisition and construction of certain public improvements and facilities within the Area, including but not limited to the Fire House facility. Nothing herein shall be construed as a limitation on the power of the City to exercise any lawful power granted to the City under Chapter 15, Chapter 15A, Chapter 403, Chapter 427B, or any other provision of the Code of Iowa in furtherance of the objectives of this Urban Renewal Plan. L. PROPERTY ACQUISITION / DISPOSITION 584 Final - Revised The City will follow any applicable requirements for the acquisition and disposition of property within the Urban Renewal Area. M. RELOCATION The City does not expect there to be any relocation required as part of the eligible urban renewal projects; however, if any relocation is necessary, the City will follow all applicable relocation requirements. N. AGRICULTURAL LAND The property in this development contains land that was formerly used by Iowa State University for agricultural teaching purposes. With the sale of the land by IS U to property developers, the land is intended to be developed for residential use and the agricultural use will cease. The site did not meet the definition of Iowa Code 403 of containing 10 acres of farmed land. O. STATE AND LOCAL REOUIREMENTS All provisions necessary to conform to state and local laws will be complied with by the City and the developer in implementing this Urban Renewal Plan and its supporting documents. P. URBAN RENEWAL PLAN AMENDMENTS This Urban Renewal Plan may be amended from time to time for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to, a change in the Area, to add or change land use controls and regulations, to modify goals or types of renewal activities, to add or change urban renewal projects, or to amend property acquisition and disposition provisions. The City Council may amend this Plan in accordance with applicable state law. Q. EFFECTIVE PERIOD This Urban Renewal Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the City Council and will remain in effect as a Plan until it is repealed by the City Council. With respect to property included within the Urban Renewal Area, which is also included in an ordinance which designates that property as a tax increment district (s) (TIF district) and is designated based on an economic development finding, to provide or to assist in the provision of public improvements related to housing and residential development, the use of incremental property tax revenues or the “division of revenue,” as those words are used in Chapter 403 of the Code of Iowa, is limited to 23 years beginning with the second fiscal year following the year in which the City first certifies to the County Auditor the amount of any loans, advances, indebtedness, or bonds which qualify for payment from the incremental property tax revenues attributable to that property within the Urban Renewal Area. 585 Final - Revised At all times, the use of tax increment financing revenues (including the amount of loans, advances, indebtedness, or bonds which qualify for payment from the division of revenue provided in Section 403.19 of the Code of Iowa) by the City for activities carried out under the Urban Renewal Area shall be limited as deemed appropriate by the City Council and consistent with all applicable provisions of law. R. SEVERABILITY CLAUSE If any part of the Plan is determined to be invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity of the Plan as a whole, or any part of the Plan not determined to be invalid or unconstitutional. 586 Final - Revised EXHIBIT A LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF ONTARIO-SCHOLL URBAN RENEWAL AREA A part of the South half of the Southeast Quarter of Section 32, Township 84 North, Range 24 West of the 5th P.M., City of Ames, Story County, Iowa, being more particularly described as follows: Beginning at the South Quarter Corner of said Section 32; thence N01°37'44"E, 524.18 feet along the east line of University Heights First and Second Additions to the south right of way line of the Chicago & Northwesterly Transportation Company; thence following said line 185.31 feet along a curve having a radius of 11534.20 feet, concave Northerly, a central angle of 0°55'14 and being subtended by a chord bearing S84°20'07”E, 185.30 feet; thence S84°47'43"E, 1498.41 feet; thence departing said right of way line S00°36'09"W, 377.82 feet to the south line of said Section 32; thence N89°43'37"W, 1687.58 feet to the point of beginning, containing 17.40 acres, including 2.38 acres of existing right of way. 587 Final - Revised EXHIBIT B MAP OF ONTARIO-SCHOLL URBAN RENEWAL AREA 588 South Bell Avenue Urban Renewal Area also known as Urban Renewal Area No. Five URA Plan Amendment The South Bell Avenue Urban Renewal Area Amendment increases the area and modifies the projects. 1) Additional Area.

Ames Electric Services completed a cost-of-service study in 2024. At the June 18, 2024, City Council/EUORAB Workshop, Mark Beauchamp from Utility Financial Solutions (UFS) presented results from the cost-of-service study and recommended a series of 1.5% increases in each of the next five years. These would apply to Electric rates across the board beginning in 2025. The Electric Utility Operations Review and Advisory Board (EUORAB) met on June 20, 2024, to discuss the cost-of-service study and rate increases at the direction of the City Council. The first of these 1.5% rate increases was adopted by Council with an effective date of November 1, 2025. It is now time to implement the second of these yearly increases, but with some modification resulting from a change in project cost information for the electric new plant addition. In June 2026, Electric staff presented to Council an updated cost for the Ames Municipal Energy Center (AMEC). The cost-of-s ervice study performed by UFS in 2024 was based on a project estimate of $84 million. Since this time, the engineering firm working on the AMEC project, Sargent & Lundy, has updated the project estimate to $192 Million. The City's financial advisor, PFM, was asked to review the impacts of this new project cost on Electric's debt coverage ratio and rates. PFM's recommendation was to increase rates by 2.5% instead of the original 1.5% for the next 18 years. Increases in the later years are subject to change once a final AMEC cost is determined and load growth is taken into account. Based on the results of the study, the PFM analysis, and EUORAB's continued review, EUORAB recommended that a 2.5% rate increase be adopted to go into effect following the 2026 summer season. This increase is to be applied to monthly customer service charges, demand rates if applicable, and energy rates. It should be noted that the revenues reflected in the FY 2026/27 budget only reflect the implementation of the smaller 1.5% electric rate increase proposed in June 2024. At the September 22, 2026, City Council meeting, Council directed the City Attorney to draft changes to the Municipal Code as outlined below. In addition, several non- material changes were made to other parts of the code to clarify interpretation. A copy of the changes to the Municipal Code is attached. 592 PROPOSED CHANGES TO CUSTOMER SERVICE CHARGE. DEMAND CHARGE, AND ENERGY CHARGE: T h e Customer Service Charge is a fixed monthly amount charged to each customer, regardless of how much energy is used. The Customer Service Charge covers the cost of customer class-specific infrastructure (like a service drop and meter), a portion of the distribution system needed to serve the customer, meter reading, and billing. EUORAB has recommended raising the Customer Service Charge for Residential, Small Commercial, Commercial and Industrial customers by 2.5%. The Demand Charge is a rate charged to Commercial & Industrial customers and is multiplied by the 15 minute "peak" consumption by the customer in a given month. There is both a summer season rate and a winter season rate. EUORAB has recommended raising the Demand Charge for Commercial and Industrial customers by 2.5%. The Energy Charge is a rate charged to all customers and is multiplied by the total electric consumption in a given month. For Residential and Small Commercial there is both a summer season rate and a winter season rate. Commercial and Industrial customers have a constant year-round rate. EUORAB has recommended raising the Energy Charges for all customers by 2.5%. The table below describes the proposed changes to these rates. EXISTING PROPOSED Customer Class Customer Service Charge Winter/Summer Energy Rate - $/kWh Winter/Summer Demand Rate - $/kVA Customer Service Charge Winter/Summer Energy Rate - $/kWh Winter/Summer Demand Rate - $/kVA Residential $14.46 $0.0906/$0.1118 $14.82 $0.0929/$0.01146 Small Commercial $20.81 $0.0982/$0.01193 $21.33 $0.1007/$0.1223 Commercial $158.34 $0.0663 $8.13/$10.87 $162.30 $0.0680 $8.33/$11.14 Commercial Electric Vehicle $250.00 Premium hrs - $0.12 Economy hrs - $0.04 $8.13/$10.87 $256.25 Premium hrs - $0.123 Economy hrs - $0.0410 $8.33/$11.14 Industrial Rate $1,116.50 $0.0652 $7.92/$10.56 $1,144.41 $0.0668 $8.12/$10.82 Large Customer TOU $2,000.00 Base energy $0.0628 Off Peak TOU energy $0.040 $8.01/$10.61 $2,050.00 Base energy $0.0644 Off Peak TOU energy $0.041 $8.21/$10.88 At this time, EUORAB is not recommending any changes to the new Residential Time- of-Use rates created at the end of 2024, which is only is being used by 186 customers at this time. UFS has been asked to review these later this year, as well as review of the Energy Cost Adjustment formula currently in effect. Other changes to Chapter 28 of the Municipal Code include: 1. A 2.5% increase to Sec. 28.109 - Street Light and Security Lighting Rate & Incidental Unmetered Energy 593 2. Non-rate impacted grammatical changes 3. Removal of the Load Management Credit, which is on pause until a new Prime Time Power replacement can be reviewed. If/when a new program is created, the program will need to be budgeted and approved by Council before the Load Management Credit returns to the Municipal Code. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve first reading of an ordinance modifying Chapter 28 of Municipal Code regarding Electric Rates, charges, and other services, as described above. 2. Do not approve the changes to Chapter 28 of the Municipal Code. 3. Refer this item back to staff and/or EUORAB to perform additional review. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopting the proposed changes will better align existing rates with the cost-of-service study results, which were subsequently updated by PFM, following the increase to the AMEC project costs. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative 1, as described above.

COMMERCIAL ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING RATE. *** (2) Intent: The cost to deliver electricity is generally most expensive during hours of greatest demand. The utility benefits when electric users reduce their demand during these times. A time-of-day rate is a pricing strategy whereby Electric Services may vary the price of electricity depending on the time-of-day it is delivered to the customer. Energy pricing can encourage the customer to use electricity during times of low demand and discourage use during the peak times of the day. Time-of-day pricing allows Electric Services to better control costs and mitigate any negative system impacts related to times of peak demand. Additionally, offering off -peak rates encourages broader adoption of electric vehicles by allowing low-cost, off-peak energy for customer vehicle charging.
