The Ames City Council meets on Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall. The agenda includes the following. Note that you can generally click on individual agenda items below to get the full staff report or other explanation.
- 1. Presentation on Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Access Audit & Transition Plan of City Parks and Recreational Facilities.
The Parks and Recreation Department recently hired a consultant to do an audit of our parks system as it relates to access and the ADA. The consultant looked at many factors, such as trails, toilets, doors, parking, and more, and will help Parks & Rec create a Transition Plan to improve access to our parks system to all users. The purpose of this workshop is to bring Council up to speed on the progress to-date. While initial input will be gathered, no specific direction is being asked of Council at this time.
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.
