A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WAUKEE, IOWA
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE APPLICATION AND THE CITY
ADMINISTRATOR TO ACT ON THE CITY’S BEHALF IN THE FILING OF AN
APPLICATION TO THE IOWA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR
ASSISTANCE UNDER THE REVITALIZE IOWA’S SOUND ECONOMY PROGRAM
IN THE NAME AND BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF WAUKEE, IOWA
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Waukee has established the development of the
Kettlestone Corridor as a Council priority and in order to provide access to this corridor a formal
application for Revitalize Iowa’s Sound Economy Program (RISE) will be filed requesting funds
in support of infrastructure improvements to encourage economic development in the Kettlestone
Corridor;
WHEREAS, under the terms of the Iowa Code Section 327H and 315.11, and administrative
rules of the Iowa Department of Transportation, the State of Iowa has authorized the making of
grants and loans to cities to aid in financing the construction of specific economic development
projects:
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WAUKEE DOES AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City of Waukee endorses the infrastructure improvements to spur
economic development.
SECTION 2. The proposed road construction projects are necessary to encourage
companies to locate in the Kettlestone Corridor.
SECTION 3. A commitment is necessary because the Kettlestone Corridor is dependent
upon access for movement of employees to and from the corridor. If a commitment of
Revitalize Iowa’s Sound Economy funding is not available, companies could make the
decision not to locate at this site, and in fact, could locate out of the State of Iowa.
SECTION 4. The City Council authorizes the Mayor to sign the formal application for
Revitalize Iowa’s Sound Economy Program funds.
SECTION 5. The City Council authorizes the City Administrator to file the formal
application with IDOT and sign all pertinent papers on behalf of the City as it relates to
this application.
SECTION 6. The City of Waukee will be requesting a negotiated amount up to a 80%
match of eligible roadway construction from the Revitalize Iowa’s Sound Economy
Program and will provide the balance of the project funding.
SECTION 7. The roadways involved in this project will be dedicated to public use in the
City of Waukee, Iowa.
SECTION 8. The roadways shall be maintained by the City of Waukee, Iowa.
PASSED AND APPROVED on the 16th day of February, 2016.
