including the West Parking Lot resurfacing, LED lighting, and improvements to the Veterans’
Memorial.

Electric Services. Donald Kom, Director of Electric Services, highlighted the operations budgets
for each division (Administration, Production, Fuel Purchases, Distribution, Technical Services, and
Engineering). He announced that the large project of converting the Power Plant from coal to natural
gas has been completed.

Mr. Kom stated that Electric Services will be participating in the Eco Fair to be held on March 25,
2017.

Under Administration, Demand Side Management has played a significant role in reducing peak;
that program began in 2007. Over that time period, 32,500 megawatts (MW) have been saved; it has
reduced peak by 17 megawatts. The Department is already at 114% of its FY 2016/17 Budget. One
hundred thirty-two solar arrays have been completed. The City paid out $50,000 in rebates in 2016
to solar customers.

Pertaining to Power Production, staff is taking a proactive approach to equipment maintenance and
improved reliability. The Proposed Budget is up 7.9% from the FY 2016/17 Adopted. The electric
peak happened on July 21, 2016, at 126.8 MW. The all-time peak occurred on July 25, 2012, at
130.7 MW.

Under Fuel/Purchased Power, the costs are up due to the transition from coal to natural gas. This
program will see a 3.7% increase over the FY 2016/17 Adopted Budget. Renewable energy met 18%
of the City’s usage: 15% comes from wind energy and 3% comes from refuse-derived-fuel.

738 street lights were converted to LED bulbs. The Distribution Extension/Improvements budget
is down 1.7%.

The Technical Services Division replaced 1,000 automated meter reading meters. There is an
increase in commodities due to a large order of meters for new apartments. This Division is
installing more reliable SF6 breakers.

There will be a 2.9% decrease in the Engineering Division. The 161 kV line move necessitated by
interstate improvements by the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) is underway. The
Iowa DOT is assuming all costs of the pole relocation.

The estimated FY 2017/18 revenues are estimated at $64,480,700. Its 2017/18 expenditures are
estimated to be $54,887,414. The minimum fund balance target is $10,100,000. In order to meet an
adequate fund balance, a 4% increase is being requested in Electric rates for 2017/18.

Law Enforcement. Details were given by Police Chief Chuck Cychosz of the budget for the Public
Safety Program. Chief Cychosz described some of the policing challenges being faced by the
Department currently. The Department attempts to meet those challenges through community
outreach, training, and commitment.

Under the Administrative Division, $20,000 is being requested in the current year to hire a
consultant to analyze traffic stop data. Enhanced security for the Administration Division will be
implemented through installation of a card controlled electronic access control system that will
allow for access tracking.

Highlights of the Crime Prevention & Patrol Division were given. Several of the outreach activities
that occurred throughout the year were described. The job of a Police Officer continues to broaden.
As the community grows, the need for additional patrol officer services also grows. To maintain the
level of service provided on an everyday basis, one Patrol Officer was added in FY 2016/17.
Another Patrol Officer has been requested in 2017/18.

Vehicle accidents have increased from 2011 through 2016. There were 1,726 reported accidents in
2016. Estimated property damage from the 1,726 collisions was $6.7 million. According to Chief
Cychosz, roadway improvements recommended by staff can have a large impact on those numbers.
The Department’s partnership in the Bike Walk Drive Smart campaign has proven successful.

A chart of the noise complaints received from 2006 through 2016 was shown. Noise, trespass and
nuisance party complaints have lowered and/or leveled off in the past two years.

Council Member Beatty-Hansen left the meeting at 6:45 p.m.

Under the General Investigation Division, Chief Cychosz noted that officers continue to observe a
troubling increase in synthetic drugs and heroin. According to the Chief, synthetic Opioids that has
been seen in many communities in Iowa is present in Ames and is of great concern to the Police
Department.

There were 1,655 mental/emotional calls for service; these calls have leveled-off. The City partners
with Eyerly-Ball, which dedicates a staff person to assist the City’s staff person.

Chief Cychosz described new communications technology that will allow the Department to receive
text messages to 9-1-1 emergencies and for individuals who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, or speech-
disabled.

Chief Cychosz emphasized the important role social media plays for the Police Department.

Highlights of the Animal Control budget were given. There were 2,304 calls last fiscal year. The
budget includes facility improvements needed to maintain the building and the health and safety of
both animal and human occupants. The program will include a number of smaller projects, including
replacement of exterior doors, added insulation, replacement of damaged ceiling tiles, improvements
to lighting, replacement of the dog kennels and improvements to HVAC, repair of damaged
concrete, and replacement of deteriorating storage sheds. The budget includes an increase in daily
boarding fees to move closer to a cost-recovery level. The Animal Shelter’s commitment to
transparency was emphasized. In FY 2015/16, staff finalized a comprehensive review of statistical
data. The Division’s Website has been updated to include data and graphs on animal admissions and
outcomes since July 1, 2005.

Council Member Gartin arrived at 7:14 p.m.

Information on the Parking Division’s activities was provided, specifically related to deterrence and
cost recovery.

Council Member Gartin asked Chief Cychosz to comment on the dramatic increase in juvenile cases
since 2014/15. The Chief said that the numbers vary a lot; in some cases, several juveniles are
involved in one case. He does not believe those numbers reflect an upward spike in juvenile arrests.

Mr. Gartin asked for an update on body cameras. Chief Cychosz said more information will be
provided to the Council in the future. Money has been budgeted; it has been carried over.

Fire Department. Chief Shawn Bayouth detailed the budgets for Fire Safety, Administration and
Support, Suppression and Emergency Action, and Building Safety/Inspections.

Chief Bayouth highlighted the Fire Fighter Recruit Academy and emphasized the benefits received
from the addition of the Training Officer.

Mr. Bayouth highlighted some of the benefits of mutual aid partnerships. A picture of a fire scene
where Ames partnered with Boone and Kelley Fire Department during the past year was shown.

Ames supplied the ladder truck.

Under Administration and Support, contractual costs will see a decrease of 27.4%, due in part to a
shift in City Data Services costs. Computer costs will be reallocated to the appropriate activity to
best represent actual costs, rather than all of the costs coming from Administration.

A new Fire Fighter will be added in 2017/18, which will result in a 4.2% increase in the Fire
Suppression and Emergency Action budget. This person will serve as a rover to work across all three
shifts similar to the Fire Fighter added in 2016/17.

Under Fire Prevention and Safety Education, staff made 980 public education presentations on fire
safety topics, reaching approximately 1,200 people.

A new Plumbing Inspector FTE will be added under Building Safety/Inspections. The number of
plumbing and mechanical inspections completed by the Plumbing Inspector is more than three times
the average number of inspections completed by each of the other trade inspectors. There will not
be a Building Permit and Plan Review Fee increase, but a 3% increase in Rental Housing Inspection
Fees is proposed. The Council was also told that the way rental housing fees are billed will be
revised.

ADJOURNMENT: Moved by Gartin to adjourn the meeting at 7:52 p.m.

Tim Gartin, Chris Nelson, Peter Orazem, and ex officio Member Sam Schulte were absent.

FY 2016/17 BUDGET PROPOSALS:

Transit System. Transit Director Sheri Kyras gave highlights of the budgets for Administration and
Support. She showed a chart depicting the ridership history and the predicted trend. Numbers of
ridership are leveling off, which is believed that was due to (1) weather – when the weather allows,
more people walk or ride bikes and (2) the development of Campustown.

Ms. Kyras reviewed revenues and expenses. The big change to expenses was the decrease in fuel
costs. There will be an increase of $2.25 in the student fee, which equates to $75.35/semester for
full-time students.

The impacts of the Affordable Care Act are resulting in an increase of $284,000 in health insurance
due to more employees being offered insurance and annual cost adjustments. This also results in
approximately $50,000 in administrative costs to track employee hours.

Ms. Kyras gave an update to past hiring challenges. They did begin the Fall 2016 at typical
employment level (over 90% of driver shifts covered).

Major administrative projects that will be initiated were described. Services changes for the Fixed
Route Service were explained. Major projects pertaining to service were also listed. Pertaining to
Dial-A-Ride, the City remains under contract with HIRTA to provide that service; it will be up for
renewal by July 1, 2017. Dial-A-Ride is funded 80% by federal dollars. The Annual Customer
Service Survey will be conducted this spring.

that had been attended by the City Council and noted the events that the City will be hosting during
the next few months.

allowing viewers to go directly to the section of the meeting that they are interested in. Mr. Crisler
is also assisting those who wish to show videos on Channel 16.

Legal Services. City Attorney Judy Parks summarized the services provided by the Legal
Department. Ms. Parks noted that there is one Assistant City Attorney position vacant; however, an
announcement is forthcoming as to the person who will be hired. City Attorney Parks showed the
Department’s funding sources and how they are allocated. Major projects accomplished during the
past fiscal year and those continuing into this fiscal year were listed. Another major task of this
Department is Property Assessment Appeals. Claims and civil litigation requiring City Attorney
representation were noted.

Human Resources. Director Kaila Kenjar said that this year has been one of transition and change
and the focus has been on rebuilding. She summarized the initiatives for the Human Resources
Department. Through the use of “HR Champions” and Total City Perspective (TCP), 65
recruitments have been closed and 18 are active. The 2017/18 Budget reflects an increase of 1/4 FTE
for the Department Secretary. A new hiring assessment tool being introduced is the Predictive Index,
which is a behavioral assessment to help determine how the applicant would fit in with the
organization. Ms. Kenjar showed statistics on attendance at Employee Development Center courses
and Leadership and Management Training. She noted that the City completed contracts with two
bargaining units in 2016/17.

Risk Management. Human Resources Director Kenjar highlighted the main risk management
initiatives and activities. She noted the largest expenses were Property and Liability Premiums.
Insured values had increased considerably with the new Water Treatment Plant and, to a lesser
degree, the Ames Airport. The City is investigating brokerage services for liability coverage
servicing (claims handling, renewal preparation, coverage assessment). Human Resources will also
continue implementation of Functional Job Assessments when the Risk Management position is
filled.

Health Insurance Management. Andrea Cardenas presented highlights for the Health Insurance
Management program. Health insurance rate increases from FY 2012-13 to the current year were
shown. A Service Objective is to keep yearly rate increases below 10%. For 2017/18, a 4% increase
is anticipated. A comparison of health insurance rate increases to the Wellmark Book of Business
was made. The City has made some changes to be in compliance with the Affordable Care Act; it
is unknown how that Act will impact the City in its self-insured status in the future.

Health Promotion Program. Ms. Cardenas listed the Wellness & Health Care Service Delivery
Initiatives. She summarized the wellness and health care service delivery initiatives. Some of the
services and programs were highlighted.

Planning. Planning and Housing Director Kelly Diekmann stated that the budget now reflects one
program of planning services, merging the Current Planning program and Long-Range Planning
program. He presented a pie chart of the planning activities and how much time they take. The
Department is now fully staffed with five Planners. The permitting software will be active in March
2017. Current Planning applications have been consistent over the past three years. They process
an average of 45 site development plans and 15 plats. Rezoning requests are up substantially due
to development.

Highlights of the Long-Range Planning activities were given. It was noted that the Council priorities
were reviewed in June 2016, November 2016, and January 2017. The primary project is the Lincoln
Way Corridor Study. The East Industrial Annexation should be completed in Spring 2017. The
Landscape Ordinance will be updated in Spring 2017. The 2700 Block of Lincoln Way
Redevelopment has been completed. Director Diekmann listed major upcoming projects, which
were Council priorities: Initiate update of the Comprehensive Plan in Summer of 2017; review
Downtown/Campustown development priorities (housing, public space, etc.); and the 321 State
Avenue affordable housing development. Mr. Diekmann explained that the Department will be
asking to adjust five or six fees in an attempt to offset some of the costs of processing.

City-Wide Affordable Housing. In the absence of Vanessa Baker-Latimer, Housing Coordinator,
Mr. Diekmann noted the city-wide housing activities for 2016/17 and 2017/18.

Community Development Block Grant. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) has a total budget of approximately $921,000. The City received its 12th allocation, which totaled

$490,986. The total budget included $385,072 of FY 2015/16 rollover funds and approximately
$45,721 of anticipated program income.

Conclusion. City Manager Steve Schainker provided a summary of the budget decisions that will
need to be made at the Budget Wrap-Up session to be held on February 14, 2017. Distributed to the
Council were memos pertaining to FY 2017/18 funding requests for the Commission on the Arts,
ASSET, Ames Public Arts Commission, and Outside Funding requests.

Moved by Beatty-Hansen, seconded by Betcher, to direct staff to develop a recommendation
pertaining to the Story County Housing Trust Fund concept.

Council Member Gartin commented that he would vote in favor of the motion, but voiced that he
had some reservations on the concept. He wants to hear from Housing Coordinator Vanessa Baker-
Latimer on this.

Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.

Moved by Betcher, seconded by Beatty-Hansen, to see a new CIP sheet that would add $100,000
from the General Fund Balance to FY 2016/17, which would make the amount $300,000; and
appropriate an additional $200,000 to FY 2017/18 out of Local Option Sales Tax for the Human
Services Capital Grant Program.

Noting that 40% of Local Option Sales Tax was to go to community betterment, Council Member
Beatty-Hansen recommended that the Council have a discussion in the future about what constitutes
community betterment and the intent of the vote and how it was portrayed to the community.

City Manager Schainker noted that $200,000 was already in the Proposed 2017/18 Budget to come
from the General Fund.

Council Member Orazem asked if there had been any assessment of need for this proposed program.
Council Member Betcher noted that this would be a pilot project; it is unknown at this time what
the need is for these funds. She noted that the funds were being allocated - they aren’t going to be
spent until much more work is done on this. Council Member Nelson said he would much rather
support the operational expenses of non-profit organizations through the ASSET process, rather than
contribute to a capital project fund.

Moved by Betcher, seconded by Beatty-Hansen, to amend the motion to add $100,000 from the
General Fund balance to FY 2016/17 for the Human Services Capital Grant Fund and leave the
second year at $200,000.

Council Member Gartin shared that he would not be voting in favor of this because the real level
of need is not known.

Vote on Motion: 5-1. Voting aye: Beatty-Hansen, Betcher, Corrieri, Nelson, Orazem. Voting nay:
Gartin. Motion declared carried.

Moved by Corrieri, seconded by Nelson, to direct staff to bring an alternate CIP page to show the
multi-modal roadway improvements requested by the Ames Bicycle Coalition.
Vote on Motion: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.

Moved by Betcher, seconded by Beatty-Hansen, to direct that the City Manager investigate Council
salaries in the ten largest cities to see if Ames is in line with other cities.
Vote on Motion: 3-3. Voting aye: Beatty-Hansen, Betcher, Nelson. Voting nay: Corrieri, Gartin,
Orazem. Mayor Campbell voted nay to break the tie. Motion failed.

Moved by Gartin to allocate $1,000 in funding for Cy-Ride vouchers for children from low- to
moderate-income homes.
