PUBLIC FORUM: No one spoke during Public Forum.

122 HAYWARD AVENUE : Building Official Sara VanMeeteren stated the reason this item was
not on the Consent Agenda was because the footings have already been installed. The developer,
JCorp, Inc. is nearing the end of its multi-use project at this address. The encroachment is for
footings that are set beneath the sidewalk for a very large building. According to Ms. VanMeeteren,
the encroachment will not affect the use of the sidewalk. City Manager Steve Schainker pointed out
that footings would be very difficult, if not impossible, to move at this point. He pointed out that
the proper sequence is to get the Encroachment Permit first. Ms. VanMeeteren stated that the
developer and engineer were asked why the footings had been installed prior to obtaining an
Encroachment Permit, and they explained that they had overlooked the Permits after they had
received the site plan and building plan approvals. It was noted that the site plan approved by the
City staff did not indicate that the footings would be placed in the City right-of-way.

Council Member Beatty-Hansen stated that the City needs to discourage the behavior of developers
to just do something and then ask for forgiveness later. She asked if there was anything the City can
do, e.g., some type of penalty. Interim City Attorney Mark Lambert answered that it could result in
issuance of a Municipal Infraction, but if the fine would be so minimal that it wouldn’t do much

towards discouragement. Council Member Gartin stated that he saw this as an understandable
oversight. He felt that when a major construction project is happening, small matters get overlooked
at times. Mr. Gartin also added that he agrees with discouraging willful disregard to the City’s
procedures, but believes that the City needs to be sensitive to reasonable error. Council Member
Betcher commented that she did not agree that this was a reasonable error. To her, this is a local
developer who has been through the process many times.

Council Member Orazem asked why the City did not just sell the land to the developer. City
Manager Schainker explained that the area in question is a compact area and the City needs the land
for utilities and sidewalks.

Moved by Gartin, seconded by Corrieri, to adopt RESOLUTION NO.17-541 approving the
Encroachment Permit for building footings at 122 Hayward Avenue.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these Minutes.

Moved by Gartin, seconded by Corrieri, to adopt RESOLUTION NO.17-542 approving the
Encroachment Permit for awnings at 122 Hayward Avenue.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these Minutes.

ENCROACHMENT PERMIT FOR WATER METER PIT AT 4018 ALDRIN AVENUE:
Council Member Betcher again asked why the developer did not get a Permit first. Council Member
Gartin questioned whether anything would have changed if the request would have been done in a
timely matter. Mr. Schainker noted that Public Works and or Water might have suggested a different
location, and the City does have the right to say no.

Ms. VanMeeteren stated that Public Works was initially a bit nervous as the water pit will control
the irrigation system for 32 private townhomes. Council Member Beatty-Hansen said that the point
is that the City is not being asked first. Mr. Schainker advised that the City has a process for this and
a signed Agreement informs the developer that the City may/can demand that the item be moved.

Moved by Beatty-Hansen, seconded by Gartin to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 17-543 approving an
Encroachment Permit for a water meter pit at 4018 Aldrin Avenue.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these Minutes.

DOWNTOWN FACADE GRANTS: Director of Planning Kelly Diekmann stated that the City
currently has $100,000 in available funds to award to new grantees for the Downtown Facade Grant
Program. That total does not include the $56,423 awarded to the Sheldon-Munn project in 2015,
which has not yet been closed out.

The first grant application was for the property at 238 Main Street, Quilting Connections. The

current tenant occupies the entire building. The owner is requesting a grant for the north (Main
Street) facade. The building was originally built as a two-story structure, but suffered a major fine
in 1987 resulting in the removal of the upper floor. Significant damage was done to the facade and
the reconstruction included a mix of materials, including concrete panels, stucco, vertical wood
panes, and the painting of remnants of the original brick. The proposed project would remove much
of the non-compliant materials and rebuild the facade out to the front lot line. The facade is two
storefronts wide and will emphasize that by cladding the east half with lighter colored brick over the
canopy and a darker brick at the kick plate. The west half will use the darker brick to highlight the
entrance. New store front windows will be installed. The store entrance will be recessed as will the
existing middle door which had been used to provide access to the upper floor. It will be re-clad,
but will retain it shape and location. New signage and lighting will be installed. The total estimated
project cost is $57,050. The estimate includes several items the City usually does not include in
calculating cost share. The construction costs total $39,550. The owner is also seeking an additional
$1,000 to help with the design costs, so the total recommended grant award is $16,000 for Quilting
Connection.

The second grant application was for the property at 208-5th Street, the Lechner Building. The

building contains multiple commercial and two residential tenants. The building received a Facade
Grant in 2012 for the replacement of ground floor windows and creation of a new store front
appearance. The owner is requesting a grant for the replacement of the original windows on the
second and third floors of the building with removal of two non-compliant filled-in transom
windows. The original wood windows are in poor repair and are covered with aluminum storm
windows. The project will involve removing the existing storm windows, repairing and restoring
of the existing historic wood windows, and installing newer energy-efficient storm windows. The
owner estimates the cost of the project at $76,836, with an added ten percent contingency, for a total
cost of $88,361. Based on the design and scoring criteria, the eligible components of this project
include the opening up of the two transoms on the front facade (removal of non-compliant elements)
and the repair of the existing historic windows and mullions (to resist water and moisture penetration
to preserve the building’s structural integrity). The project costs are estimated to be $33,051 (minus
the contingency). Staff recommended up to $15,000 or 50 percent of the actual costs. As a
condition of the grant, staff recommended requiring the improvements of the non-compliant transom
window openings on the side elevation to assist in broadening the overall project significance.
Council Member Gartin asked if this was an exception or precedent to be able to do the side of the
building. Mr. Diekmann responded that the grant will be covering just the front improvements.

The owner of Evert’s Flowers, Home, and Gifts at 329 Main Street had submitted grant applications
for installation of awnings along both the south facade (along Main Street) and the west facade
(along Burnett Avenue). It was built as a two-story building in 1919, but the upper floor was
removed. Many facade changes have occurred since that time. The owner is seeking two facade
grants to replace the store front windows and install new doors, awnings and signage. The project
will replace the large plate glass windows with multi-pane windows. The owner is also installing
awnings over the windows. New signage and painting of the accent band above the awnings are
included in the project. The improvements for each facade are similar. The south facade has an

estimated cost of $21,129. The owner is requesting up to fifty percent, or $10,580. The west facade
has an estimated cost of $18,033, and the owner is requesting up to fifty percent, or $9,017. It was
noted that the purpose of the Program is the removal of non-compliant features of a facade. In this
case, the windows and doors are compliant; therefore, are not covered by the Program. Staff believes
the only eligible activity in the grant request may be the installation of new awnings, the cost of
which is estimated at $5,315 for both facades. Staff is recommending a grant of 50%, or $2,657.

According to Director Diekmann, due to the timing of solicitation for facade grants, there is an overlap of second round funds from the prior FY 2016-17 fiscal year and the award of first round grants with FY 2017-18 funds. Preferences in the Program are to award only one grant to a project per round and that a second request for a facade grant should occur in the spring round of review. Due to the low volume of applications and requested dollar value, staff recommended that the City Council consider the requests as a merged spring and fall round of funding to address that the 208-5th Street request is a second facade grant for the same facade and that 329 Main Street is actually two separate facade grants at the same time. This approach would be consistent with the intent of the Program to have preferences for new facade grant requests and to spread availability of funds to multiple projects while accounting for the timing of facade grant application process. The recommendation is to approve the Downtown Facade Improvement Grants for the four projects on three buildings as noted. The amount sought and recommended for awards is $33,658, leaving $66,342 that have not been committed in a grant agreement. An additional round of grant applications may be sought in the fall for award in a second round this spring.

Moved by Betcher, seconded by Correri, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 17-544 approving the
Downtown Facade Grants as recommended by staff.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these Minutes.

SALE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION CORPORATE PURPOSE AND REFUNDING BONDS:
It was reported that the winning bid came from Janney Montgomery Scott out of Pennsylvania.

Moved by Betcher, seconded by Nelson, to approve RESOLUTION NO. 17-545 approving the sale
of General Obligation Corporate Purpose and Refunding Bonds, Series 2017A, in the principal
amount of $11,970,000 to Janney Montgomery Scott.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.

ADDITION OF ONE FTE CIVIL ENGINEER: City Manager Steve Schainker informed the City
Council that the Public Works Department has a very robust work plan; requests are increasing from
citizens and City Council. At this time, The City is in the process of hiring two engineers and
looking to hire a third. That position would be part of the Traffic Division and would focus mainly
on CIP project design. This would include traditional traffic projects (e.g., traffic signals and traffic
calming), but would also take on project management for CIP programs that had migrated to the
Engineering Division (e.g., Accessibility Enhancement, Shared Use Expansion, Multi-Modal
Roadway Improvements, and other roadway and utility projects). This position would take a lead

role with customer service duties, such as localized traffic studies (stop signs, no parking, etc.), work
on City Council referrals, citizen contacts, and right-of-way permits. Also, the new engineer would
supervise the Ames Area Metropolitan Planning Organization work activities.

According to Mr. Schainker, the position would cost $112,000. The majority of the cost, $73,000
or sixty-five percent, will come out of CIP, not out of the operating budget. Road Use Tax will hit
available balance in the fund and traffic studies because they are not assignable to large CIP projects;
this will be about 25% of the salary. The Regional Planning Authority will take the last 10%. City
Manager Schainker stated that the City needs to keep up with the Council’s requests and have more
timely responses to our customers.

Moved by Nelson, seconded by Correri, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 17-548 approving the addition
of one FTE Civil Engineer.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these Minutes.

HEARING ON VACATING RIGHT-OF-WAY LOCATED WEST OF 122 NORTH
DAKOTA AVENUE: Mayor Campbell opened the public hearing. No one came forward to speak,
and the hearing was closed.

Moved by Gartin, seconded by Correri, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 17-549 approving the vacation
of the right-of-way located west of 122 North Dakota Avenue.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these Minutes.

HEARING ON SALE OF RIGHT-OF-WAY LOCATED WEST OF 122 NORTH DAKOTA
AVENUE: The public hearing was opened by the Mayor and closed after no one requested to speak.

Moved by Gartin, seconded by Correri, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 17-550 approving the sale and
conveyance by Quit Claim Deed of the vacated right of way at 122 North Dakota to The Preserve
Ames, LLC.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these Minutes.

HEARING ON LEASE WITH TOWERCO IV, LLC, FOR CELLULAR ANTENNA AT
HOMEWOOD GOLF COURSE: The Mayor opened the public hearing. No one asked to speak,
and the hearing was closed.

Assistant City Manager Brian Phillips gave background on the TowerCo IV, LLC leasing a portion
of the property at Homewood Golf Course for a cellular antenna. An agreement for this antenna has
been in place since 1996. Because Homewood Golf Course is operated by the City as an enterprise,
revenues from the cellular antenna accrue to the golf course operation. The lease is set to renew
automatically every five years until its conclusion in December 2026. TowerCo has requested that

the lease be extended for five additional five-year renewal terms; that would cause the lease to expire
in December 2051. Existing terms would remain the same, but the base rent would increase by
fifteen percent every five years, as the existing terms require. Additionally, the lessee would
continue to divide any sublease revenue equally with the City. City staff is satisfied with the current
lease arrangement. The rental terms for this location are favorable to the City. The location of the
antenna on the golf course is unlikely to conflict with any future plans the City may have for the
property. In exchange for the extension of the lease, the City has requested and TowerCo has agreed
that if the City requires the easement to be relocated it can be done one time during the life of the
lease at the City’s expense. The City may install equipment to provide high speed internet access
onto the antenna. The City will not be charged rent for the equipment. TowerCo will replace the
existing chain link fence around the antenna with a opaque fence made of wood that is compliant
with the current zoning code. This antenna provides the golf course with significant rental that funds
improvements to the golf course.

Moved by Beatty-Hansen, seconded by Nelson, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 17-551 approving the
lease with TowerCo IV, LLC, for a cellular antenna at Homewood Golf Course.
Roll Call Vote: 6-0. Resolution declared adopted unanimously, signed by the Mayor, and hereby
made a portion of these Minutes.
