2009 Annual Report Calculating your membership Ames Chamber of Commerce & Economic Development 2009 Annual Report As we enter another decade, it’s fun to look back to see how far we’ve come - not only as member organizations serving businesses in central Iowa, but as a whole community. The Ames Chamber of Commerce and the Ames Economic Development Commission (AEDC) continue to grow in membership numbers, certainly, but also in the reach of their programming and long-term investments. The Ames Chamber and AEDC continue to work together to promote a business climate conducive for growth, prosperity and a future we can be proud to leave to future generations. The 2009 accomplishments of the Ames Chamber and AEDC highlighted in the pages that follow are indicative of what’s ahead for Ames. While the economic outlook for our state and our nation continue to be cloudy, Ames continues to be a strong community for business. In fact, while the rest of the country battled increasing unemployment rates this year, Ames, Iowa was routinely listed in the top 5 cities in the country this past year on record. On top of this, while most Chambers fight to keep 80% of their members, in 2009 the Ames Chamber boasted a 93% retention rate and finished with another record membership total of 726. Most members of both the Ames Chamber of Commerce and the AEDC know intuitively that their investment in these orga- nizations is a worthy one, but when we see numbers like this - and accomplishments like those in this report - it’s a positive affirmation of what we’ve known deep down all along: Ames really is a community where we can live, work and thrive. We especially thank 2009 Board Chairs Cozette Hadley Rosburg (Ames Chamber) and Kevin Kinzler (AEDC) for their lead- ership to bring us to this point. On behalf of the Boards of Directors and staff for the Ames Chamber of Commerce and the Ames Economic Development Commission, we thank you for your continued investment and partnership. You make Ames such a great place to serve.

In fact, Ames’ own Resource Recovery Plant was the first municipally operated “waste-to-energy” facility in the nation (1975). The plant converts burnable garbage into Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) used by our power plant, allowing us to conserve fossil fuels, decrease sulfur dioxide emis- sions, save more than 80 acres of Iowa farmland (that would have been used as landfill), and power more than 4600 homes each year. With leadership from Mayor Ann Campbell and many others, the City of Ames has added an aresnal of green practices to replace and/or improve current infrastructure and sys- tems in place. From a fleet of hybrid vehicles and the new Gold Leaf “Cybrid” buses, to the “Smart Energy” program and environmentally-friendly practices used to construct and operate the new Furman Aquatic Center, Ames is ensuring a healthy community for future development, environment and generations to come. The Ames Chamber of Commerce has begun to work with the City of Ames and Iowa State University to develop more “green initiatives” to implement across our region while proving that implementing environmentally-friendly practices does not come at a cost of sacrificing a competitive business edge. Companies are rec- ognizing the significant impact a few changes to our corporate culture can make, especially when the benefits are so far-reaching. Besides offering this year’s Ames Chamber and AEDC Annual Report electronically via flash drive and online (www.ameschamber.com), and en- hancing our organization’s websites and email correspondence, be on the lookout for new pro- grams to emerge this year to help your business improve efficiency and sustainability.

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).

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.

    IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY FY2007 Board of Regents Annual Economic Development and Technology Transfer Report PRESENTED BY JOHN BRIGHTON, VICE PRESIDENT FOR RESEARCH & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT October 4, 2007 1 FY 2007 Board of Regents Annual Economic Development and Technology Transfer Report 1. Please briefly describe the relationship of your institution’s economic development activities to the enhancement of economic growth in the state. The description should cover, but not necessarily be limited to the following: a. The relationship between institutional activities and creation of jobs and wealth in Iowa b. Institutional activities and services which indirectly promote economic development, such as training provided to staff of local economic development agencies 1.A Enhancement of Economic Growth through Job Creation and Retention, Investments, Sales, and Cost Savings Iowa State University engages in several activities that have direct impact on both the creation as well as the retention of jobs in Iowa. The ISU Research Park is a technology community that encourages commercialization of university research. Likewise, the Innovations Development Facility, part of the Plant Sciences Institute, incubates new companies. In addition, the IPRT (Institute for Physical Research and Technology) Company Assistance Program, ISU Extension’s Center for Industrial Research and Service (CIRAS), the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and the ISU Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship interact with companies across Iowa to solve production and management problems. These interactions lead to the resolution of problems related to product development and business management. As a consequence of the improved production resulting from these interactions, businesses have been able to retain and often expand their work force rather than lay off workers due to the expected down turn in business if no solution to the problems had been found.
