    Arc 1078C Regents Board[681]

    ARC 1078C REGENTS BOARD[681] Adopted and Filed Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 262.9(3), the Board of Regents hereby amends Chapter 13, “Iowa State University of Science and Technology Organization and General Rules,” Iowa Administrative Code. In general, the amendments include basic “housekeeping” revisions such as updating titles and contact information. The amendment in Item 2 deletes the list of forms and directs the reader to the university’s Web site where the forms, primarily electronic, may be found. Amendments in Item 3 increase contracting authority given to the Senior Vice President and Provost. Amendments in Items 5 through 15 update procedures and processes for use of university facilities and grounds. Item 9 adds a subrule prohibiting camping on the campus except for specifically approved special events. Notice of Intended Action was published in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin on July 10, 2013, as ARC 0818C. A comment period was established. No comments were received. The Board made two minor changes to the proposed amendments. In paragraphs 13.12(1)“c” and 13.12(2)“c,” the phrase “ten business days and no later than four business days” was changed to “ten business days and not less than four business days.” In addition, for consistency throughout the amendments, the prefix “http://” was removed from web addresses in three instances in rule 681—13.1(262). The Board of Regents adopted the amendments on September 11, 2013. After analysis and review of this rule making, no impact on jobs has been found. These amendments are intended to implement Iowa Code section 262.9(3).

    Resident Satisfaction Survey 2015

    2015 Ames Resident Satisfaction Survey 1 2015 Ames Resident Satisfaction Survey 33RD ANNUAL STATISTICAL REPORT The City of Ames, Iowa, conducts an annual satisfaction survey of community residents. In May 2015, the City mailed questionnaires to 1,350 city residents whose names were randomly selected from the City of Ames utility users list (population=20,487). Additionally, 1,250 Iowa State University students were randomly selected from a mailing list generated by the ISU Office of the Registrar. Stratified random sampling was used to have representation from the students based on classification (senior to graduate levels). First year students were intentionally excluded in the ISU sample due to their minimal exposure and use of City of Ames’ services. Utility bill customers received a 16-page survey booklet via U.S. Mail. The booklet included standard benchmarking questions, as well as issue-related questions written specifically for this survey. The ISU students received the same survey via email developed using the Qualtrics Survey Software. This questionnaire includes new questions formulated specifically for this survey. The analysis was completed with assistance from Nora Ladjahasan and Mingjie Sun from Institute for Design Research & Outreach, College of Design, Iowa State University. This statistical report summarizes results from 517 respondents who returned usable questionnaires (311 from the Ames residents (60%) and 206 from ISU students (40%). Online survey for ISU students generated 253 surveys, of which 206 were useable. Some ISU students looked at the survey but did not respond to any of the questions. Response rate for Ames residents group was 23% and 16% for ISU students.

Adjourn 0 CITY OF AMES, Iowa MEMO TO: Ames Transit Board of Trustees FROM: Sheri Kyras DATE: February 11, 2017 SUBJECT: System Redesign Study Presentation/Discussion BACKGROUND: At the January 19, 2017 Transit Board of Trustees meeting, CyRide’s System Redesign Study consultant, Nelson Nygaard, briefly updated board members on three potential transit system scenarios – ISU Status Quo, ISU Fiscally Constrained and Transformative. It was decided at that meeting that more time to understand and consider the options was needed and as a result, a special board meeting would be needed to accomplish these goals. Also, board members indicated an interest comments generated from the study’s online, community survey. INFORMATION: The purpose of the special meeting is to: • Provide a basic understanding of the changes under the Transformative scenario, as this option was not able to be discussed in great detail at the January board meeting, and to provide a summary of the two ISU scenarios discussed at that meeting • Discuss pros and cons for the community regarding each set of route changes in the scenarios • Introduce, and briefly discuss, new services that could be added to each of the scenarios as the “Transformative” and “ISU fiscally constrained” scenarios represent approximately 3% of the maximum 5% local funding partner’s annual increase approved by the Transit Board as a guiding principal for the study • Introduce, and briefly discuss, changes to CyRide’s operational policies, which could provide greater efficiency or cost effectiveness, but may impact current customer expectations • Discuss next steps and timing of study activities A PowerPoint presentation and handout materials will be prepared for the meeting to guide board members through the above topics.
