MEETING OF THE AMES CITY COUNCIL

The Ames City Council meeting is at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall. The council meeting agenda includes the following. Note that you can generally click on individual agenda items below to get the full staff report or other explanation.

• 20. Request to Share Cost for the Paving of a 150 Foot Extension of SE 3rd Street in the Kingsbury's Fifth Addition Subdivision.
  A few lots north of Target are scheduled to be sold, and development of either of them would trigger a requirement to pave a tiny portion of SE 3rd St. The City is being asked to pay 50% of the cost of paving this section of road, and each abutting property owner would pay 25%. The City's portion would be $30,000. At one point a few years ago, the City planned to extend Cherry St., and SE 3rd would have been paved in conjunction with that. Since those plans are no longer imminent, staff recommend the cost sharing outlined above. 
  
  
• 23. Resource Recovery and Recycling Campus Project Update.
  
  
  
  The above layout is the latest design for the R3C (Resource Recovery and Recycling Campus). This first concept was presented to Council in June, and this 2nd iteration has a few changes, mostly related to traffic flow and truck loading. Staff also report the need for a new shredder, since the one at the current Resource Recovery Plant has a lot of damage and would be risky to move. The construction costs are estimated to be $16.8 million.
  
  

Communications to Council: The following items are requests and communications to Council that aren't published on the agenda, so we won't deliberate them substantially. This includes staff reports and communications or requests from constituents and developers. Typically, Council will ask city staff for more information, put the item on a future agenda for deliberation and possible action, or just accept the communication, taking no further action.
