The Ames City Council meets on Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. on Zoom. The agenda includes:
-
2. Ames Plan 2040 Workshop Regarding Parks and Open Space Principles and Environmental Principles. The Ames Plan 2040 under development will set the stage for decision-making in future years. In this meeting, we'll discuss our parks, trails and open spaces as well as environmental stewardship generally. These topics are organized under two high-level vision statements, with each statement being followed by a description of current conditions and offering some potential principles and actions that the City could take:
-
Parks, Trails and Open Spaces Vision: Open space and recreation facilities support the physical and social well being of the community.
-
Environment Vision: Ames will practice environmental stewardship to support a high quality natural environment.
-
- This assessment and recommendation incorporates the project's outreach activities in the community and engagement with Council over the past year and a half or so. During the workshop, Council will have an opportunity to influence this content as it takes its place in the draft plan.
