RESOLUTION AMENDING COTA FALL SPECIAL PROJECT GRANT
WITH ROLLING HILLS CHAMBER MUSIC ASSOCIATION
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, the Commission on the Arts (COTA) offers grants to arts agencies
through an annual program and seasonal Special Project Grant programs. On June 1,
2026, 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; and,
WHEREAS, 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, 2026, meeting, after contracts had been
signed and in effect; and,
WHEREAS, on September 14, 2026, 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; and,
WHEREAS, COTA has an available special project grant balance of $9,832 to fund
the $400 increase.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that the COTA Fall Special Project Grant amendment with Rolling Hills Chamber
Music Association in the amount of $400 is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 13th day of October, 2026.
