In
favor,
aye
opposed
item
passes,
item
3,
which
is
the
only
item
actually
on
our
agenda
for
this
evening.
It's
a
proving
a
28
agreement
with
the
city
of
Bondurant
for
payment
of
administrating
costs
of
the
section
8
housing
finance
program,
its
board
communication
number
18
532
for
those
of
you,
idæan
s--.
This
is
a
program
we
get
certain
section,
8
dollars,
there's
a
deficiency
in
it
for
managing
it.
A
That
amounts
to
about
sixty
two
thousand
dollars
and
we
get
reimbursement
from
some
of
our
partner
cities,
because
it's
a
regional
thing
that
the
City
of
Des,
Moines,
administers
and
Bondurant
has
agreed
to
come
on
and
be
part
of
that,
and
so
we
thank
them
for
it,
and
so
so
far
our
partners
out
in
the
area
have
given
us
or
participated
in
that
sixty
two
thousand
dollar
deficit
to
the
tune
of
twenty
three
thousand
and
thirty
seven
dollars.
So
essentially,
that's
what
this
is
about.
E
Just
adding
to
what
you
said,
this
is
on
the
heels
of
a
homeland
security
reopen
after
kind
of
a
tough
couple
years.
I
think
the
mayor
and
city
manager
and
and
the
rest
of
the
council
are
doing
a
really
good
job,
making
sure
that
these
agreements
get
done
and
are
fair
to
the
citizens
of
Des
Moines.
So
well
done
mayor
well
done
Scott.
This
is
good
and.
A
This,
what
regional
cooperation
is
about
I
mean
it's
all
of
us,
trying
to
work
together
and
take
care
the
citizens
from
our
region.
So
with
that,
if
somebody
give
us
a
motion
to
to
move
item
three
of
the
Vidal
30
item
three
has
been
moved
any
further
discussion.
If
not,
if
everybody
would
vote,
please
I.
F

A
G
Little
different
tonight
I
just
want
to
take
a
few
minutes
and
talk
about
an
event
that
I
briefly
attended
on
Saturday.
It
was
the
third
annual
pre
winter
community
car
checkup
at
the
North
High
School
parking
lot.
Nearly
400
cars
were
checked,
tires
were
pumped
up,
fluids
were
filled,
windshield,
wipers
and
lights
were
replaced
and
child
car
seats
were
inspected.
G
E
E
A
Right
item
2
is
approving
the
agenda
as
presented
and/or
as
amended.
Let
me
quickly
say
that
we
on
the
consent
agenda.
Those
are
items
3
through
39
item
4
Z
was
withdrawn.
The
inspections
were
incomplete.
The
regular
agenda
items
40
through
59,
there's
41,
is
corrected
there.
It's
an
ordinance
42
a
was
added
council
member
Coleman
wants
to
speak.
Regarding
concerns,
item
48
B
would
added
communications
in
objection.
Item
54
D,
it's
corrected
again,
it's
an
ordinance,
any
other
Corrections,
seeing
none.
Let's
about.
I
A
Has
been
moved,
everybody
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye,
opposed
item
passes.
Item
3
is
approving
the
consent
agenda.
These
are
items
3
through
39.
These
are
routine.
Items
are
generally
enacted
as
one
vote.
Unless
a
council
member
or
a
member
from
the
audience
pulls
off
for
further
clarification
or
discussion

evening

A
B
E
In
in
the
spirit
of
keeping
the
citizens
apprised,
this
box
was
noteworthy
after
the
summer
rains.
Council,
member
bozan
I,
know
peered
into
it,
as
councilman
gray
has
many
times
over
the
last
several
years,
and
the
mayor
and
I
have
been
out
to
it,
maybe
others
have
been,
but
it
it
made
the
news
several
times.
It's
a
it's,
an
old
box
that
desperately
needs
help
it's
the
same
area
of
or
that
house
that
was
a.
J
I
just
want
to
add
to
that.
That's
going
to
start
next
year,
they've
been
doing
the
surveying
this
year,
they're.
Looking
at
some
options,
you
know
you
macoco
does
a
divided
highway
and
the
sewer
runs
right
down
the
middle
of
the
median
and
you
know
to
try
and
mitigate
any
tree
damage.
They've
done
a
pretty
good
job.
I
applaud
engineering
for
going
through
and
seeing
what's
gonna
be
the
best
route
there
to
keep
that
real,
majestic
looking
neighborhood.
So
it's
not
easy.
J
A
E
Strongly
approved
these
two,
we
have
the
right
people
representing
us
so
that
that's
not
the
controversy
but
I
I
do
know
that
dart
is
making
some
important
decisions
in
the
coming
weeks
about
legislative
matters
and
and
growth.
Obviously,
we
have
some
regional
discussions
with
the
very
same
people
about
trying
to
put
together
a
a
water
system
that
works
for
all
in
you
know
over
the
next
year's
and
the
next
generation.
E
I
think
that
the
record,
on
my
view
of
that
here,
at
this
table
in
other
places,
was
strong.
That
I
thought
we
should
address
the
funding
issues
first
before
the
governance.
Nonetheless,
we
have
this
in
front
of
us
now
and
I
and
I
think
we
have
to.
We
have
to
address
it,
I
just
like
to
make
sure
that
it
gets
put
on
a
workshop
agenda
or
something
soon,
so
that
we
can
kind
of
have
a
open
public
discussion
about
where
everybody
stands
on.
It.
K
Just
peace
as
a
representative
on
dart
I
am
happy
to
sit
down
individually
with
any
council
member
and
go
over
items
that
have
been
on
our
agenda
budget
issues,
ridership
issues,
anything
that
would
be
helpful
to
share
with
other
council
members
so
that
we're
we're
all
looking
at
the
same
information.
I
know
it
can
be
tough
to
I
mean
the
reason
we
have
representing
all
of
us
on
these
various
regional
boards
and
commissions.
A
Right
that
completes
our
consent.
Agenda
takes
the
item
40,
which
is

K
A
I
You
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
mr.
mayor
I
just
want
to
have
a
discussion
about
about
Fleur
Drive
in
the
reconstruction
first
off
in
2017,
I
went
back
as
far
as
I
could
on
my
emails.
January
9th
I
had
an
email
from
then
City
Engineer
Pam
Cooksey
that
talked
about
fluid
drive
and
phasing
timetable
that
we
were
on.
I
But
about
a
week
and
a
half
ago,
the
attorney-
that's
is
a
customer
of
mine
at
the
restaurant
for
Park
floor
came
in
and
they
have
a
sidewalk
already
on
on
their
property
and
we're
trying
to
do
an
easement
or
something
with
that,
and
she
brought
to
my
attention
that
we
are
actually
shrinking.
Fluor
drive
down
by
two
feet
on
each
side.
Each
lane
width
will
be
11
feet
instead
of
12
feet
and
I
was
just
like
what.
Why
do
we
do
that?
I
I
We
did
a
construction
project
from
McKinley
to
Porter
that
handles
about
sixteen
thousand
seven
hundred
cars
per
day,
and
that
is
12-foot
lanes
with
a
turning
lane
in
the
middle
and
it
has
sidewalks
on
both
sides
of
the
street
Indianola
Avenue
handles
about
fifteen
thousand
nine
hundred
cars
from
South
East
14th
to
youtr
Creek
that
is
actually
11
foot
lane,
but
there's
a
buffer
on
on
each
side
of
the
road
on
Indianola
Avenue
from
yeutter
Creek
Bridge
to
Army
Post
Road,
which
was
finished
last
year.
That's
also
12-foot
lanes.
I
All
of
the
southeast
connector
from
fluid
drive
to
southeast
xxx
is
all
12-foot
lanes
and
floor.
Drive
now
is
in
existing
12-foot
lanes.
That's
got
to
be
one
of
the
highest
volume
streets
that
we
have
in
the
city.
I've
since
I
found
this
out,
I've
asked
many
people.
I've
went
to
neighborhood
meetings,
there's
somewhat
appalled
that
we
would
think
about
shrinking
that
street
and
I
understand.
I
E
But
he
and
I
didn't
have
a
chance
to
talk
about
it
and
I
want
I,
wanted
to
join
Joe
and
just
support
his
comments,
because
I
do
think.
This
is
important.
I'm
very
thankful
that
I
learned
this
information.
Now,
quite
honestly
had
we
done
this
reconstruction
and
we
tightened
each
side
of
the
of
the
median
down
by
by
two
feet.
E
It's
my
understanding
that
the
current
roadway
each
Lane
is
12
feet
and
by
narrowing
it
we
create
a
situation
that
I
think
is
pretty
unique.
Other
places
where
we
have
this
there's
often
the
center
turn
lane,
like
Hickman
Road
out
by
us
bill.
So
you
have
a
little
wiggle
room
or
you
know
a
truck
passes
you
or
you
got
a
pass
truck,
there's
somewhere
to
go
in
on
floor.
The
only
where
to
go
in
is
to
bang
up
against
about
a
four
foot
high
cement
wall,
which
are
the
medians
along
there.
E
There's
very
little
give
in
in
this
roadway
and
I
understand
that
we're
trying
to
move
towards
new
design
standards
but
I
think
Fluer
is
a
very
unique
road
and
I
could
make
that
case
no
matter
what?
But
I'm
also
aware
that
a
heavy
residential
road
that
was
just
reconstructed
I
think
it
was
a
full
reconstruction
thirty-first
between
I-235
and
university
I.
Think
most
of
us
can
picture
that
that
including
the
the
the
gutter
and
so
forth,
it's
more
about
13
feet
on
each
side.
So
you
know
this
is
a
short.
E
E
E
I
also
recognize
that
I
don't
want
the
victim
to
be
the
sidewalk.
You
know
we
can't
just
solve
it
by
saying.
Well,
let's
scratch
the
sidewalk.
We
need
a
sidewalk
there.
Josh
and
I
have
talked
about
it.
He
makes
some
really
compelling
points,
but
I
can
tell
you.
I'd
probably
rather
have
a
if
we
have
to
find
two
feet
right
now.
E
The
plan
is
to
build
a
five-foot
sidewalk
I'd,
probably
rather
see
the
sidewalk
shrink
and
the
road
be
expanded
back
to
its
original
level
of
lanes,
and
so
you
know,
I
think
we
need
to
make
a
decision
quick
on
how
wide
those
lanes
should
be,
and
then,
if
we
need
a
wider
sidewalk,
we
go
to
work
on
that
which,
which
I
would
support
I,
don't
know
how
much
right
away
we're
buying
right
now,
but
we
got
a.
We
got
to
solve
this
in
short
order.
Mr.
A
Manager,
maybe
you'd
like
to
make
some
some
comments
and,
and
you
know,
I
hear
what
everybody's
saying
and
certainly
have
it's
been
a
part
of
my
life
living
off
of
floor
drive
and
living
on
the
south
side
and
am
well
aware
of
what's
going
on
there,
but
what
are
what's
going
on
with
with
highways?
Of
course,
this
is
a
40
mile,
an
hour
speed
limit
here.
A
It's
not
65
like
out
on
the
road
like
councilmember
Gatto
is
quoting,
which
could
be
a
bit
of
a
squeeze
with
two
trucks
in
a
in
a
van
out
there,
but,
on
the
other
hand,
I've
seen
roads
around
the
country
where
everybody's
starting
to
look
at.
How
do
we
keep
people
from
driving
6570
on
40,
mile-an-hour
streets
and
what's
safety
look
like,
and
how
do
we
do
it
and,
of
course,
looking
at
the
successes
in
some
of
the
areas
where
we
have
either
reduced
lanes
or
reduced
widths?
A
P
What
what
was
different
about
this
this
project,
so
I
would
strongly
suggest
that
we
take
the
time,
that's
necessary
that
you
do
understand
those
elements.
In
fact,
I've
looked
at
her
schedule
and
we
could
fit
this
into
Monday
mornings
work
session
to
get
this
done
quickly,
and
that
would
be
what
my
recommendation
is.
It
is
proposed.
It
is
already
designed
to
meet
the
national
standards
the
11
feet.
There
are
elements
within
street
construction
that,
quite
frankly,
are
counterintuitive,
that
being
that
narrow,
narrower
lanes
are
actually
safer.
That
is
not
something
as
a
non
engineer.
P
I
would
have
thought
intuitively
was
the
case,
but
it
can
be
shown
that
that
that
is
absolutely
the
case,
because
the
public
will
slow
down,
knowing
that
those
lanes
are
narrower,
that
there
may
be
obstructions
within
the
median
and
and
so
I
think
we
need
to
have
that
full
conversation
with
the
full
council
and
and
I
would
strongly
suggest
we
do
that
Monday
morning.
So.
I
P
Let's
have
that
conversation
and
because
I,
what
I
need
to
know
and
what
staff
need
to
know
is
if
we're
gonna
make
an
exception
here
to
what
the
national
standard
is,
which
is
within
your
purview.
Where
else
should
we
be
projecting
that
change?
Do
we
need
to
bring
every
and
we
don't
I
hope,
bring
every
project
to
you
to
talk
about
the
20
variables
that
may
be
impacted?
This
is
this
is
unique.
I
think
councilman
Cohen
hits
it
right.
I
mean
floor
is
very
unique
to
us.
P
I
K
Think
I
think
this
is
an
important
discussion,
not
just
in
the
context
of
Fluer,
but
for
our
roadways
generally
and
I
want
to
I
want
to
do
this
in
maybe
two
two
phases.
One
I
appreciate
in
my
conversations
with
both
councilmember
Gatto
and
council
member
Coleman
and
their
comments
here
tonight
the
recognition
of
the
importance
of
the
sidewalks
on
floor
to
me.
That
is
a
crucial
part
of
this
project
and
something
that
I
don't
want
to
get
lost
in
this
discussion.
K
K
I
would
rather
have
the
project
delayed
than
to
lose
the
sidewalk
piece
of
this,
because
residents
have
been
asking
for
and
advocating
for
the
sidewalks
in
all
of
the
neighborhood
associations
that
are
adjacent
to
floor
and
to
me
we
need
to
listen
to
that
and
we
need
to
work
towards
that
I'm
I'm.
More
than
willing
to
have
these
discussions
and
I'm
glad
that
the
manager
has
identified
a
Monday
morning
where
we
can
have
a
work
session
to
talk
about
this
in
more
detail.
K
I
do
want
to
just
lay
out
my
starting
point
and
and
I've
maybe
had
a
benefit.
I
think
I
told
councilmember
Gatto
that
there
was
an
email
back
in
February
talking
about
the
Lane
wits
and
I
went
back
to
my
email
and
looked
at
that
and
noticed
that
not
all
of
Council
was
on
that
email,
so
I've
had
the
benefit
of
maybe
knowing
about
the
lane
reduction
for
a
little
little
longer,
at
least
having
it
on
my
radar,
but
I
think
one
of
the
important
things
when
we
think
about
the
size
of
our
roads.
K
And
then,
when
you
look
at
it
further
and
think
about
how
this
interacts
with
the
whole
range
of
other
pieces,
there
were
variables
that
I
wasn't
even
thinking
about
in
February
that
that
now
I
realize
or
maybe
an
important
piece
of
this
too,
because
when
we
over
build
roads
that
creates
that
creates
perhaps
unintended
consequences
and
problems
that
we
have
to
deal
with.
Maybe
that
primary
example
of
that
is
the
challenges
that
we're
facing
with
stormwater
runoff.
When
you
have
roads
that
are
too
wide.
K
K
And
that's
right
in
the
heart
of
where
we
had
some
of
the
worst
storm
water
runoff
problems,
and
if
we
have
the
ability
to
take
off
five
or
six
feet
of
concrete
and
have
that
land
absorbing
water,
as
opposed
to
all
that
water
running
off.
That
might
be
a
part
of
another,
a
solution
to
another
problem
that
were
we're
dealing
with
and
if
we
continue
to
over
bill
we're
going
to
continue
to
find
more
and
more
places
in
our
community.
K
Where
not
only
are
we
short
on
resources,
because
we've
got
too
much
to
maintain,
but
maybe
we're
helping
create
our
own
stormwater
problems.
It's
a
I
really
want
that
to
be
a
part
of
this
discussion
and-
and
my
hope
is,
I-
prefer
not
to
make
an
exception
here.
But
if
that
ends
up
being
the
direction
after
we've
considered
it
more
and
gathered
more
facts,
I
really
hope
we
don't
lose
track
of
the
sidewalks
because
hey
you
know
that
to
me
is
a
really
important
piece
of
this
project.
K
I
A
Was
just
gonna
say
a
mr.
manager
I
think
that
it
sounds
like.
Maybe
we
can
get
this
hon
eight,
maybe
as
soon
as
next
Monday
put
it
on
a
work
session
and
present
a
number
of
these
variables
that
how
it
affects
moving
forward
and
how
we
it
may
affect
design
of
roadways
walkways
public
safety,
everything
else
that
is
in
here,
as
well
as
some
of
the
aspects
that
we're
pointed
out
here.
That
could
be
environmental,
but
maybe
what
we
could
do.
A
I
K
Boo,
oh
I,
just
thought
before
we
finish
I
know
there.
There
were
people
from
a
couple
of
the
neighborhood
associations
here,
I,
don't
know
if
they
had
an
interest
in
speaking,
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
if
they
did
that
we
didn't
move
on
without
giving
them
an
opportunity,
as
well
just
to
inform
our
discussion
if
they
want.
A
Q
A
R
Here
to
do
as
much
again
so
seeing
this
on
the
docket
as
a
discussion
item
certainly
raises
our
interest
as
a
neighborhood,
we
have
written
a
letter
of
support
advocating
for
both
the
roadway
improvements,
as
recommended
by
the
many
planners
who
have
already
touched
this.
The
many
city
staff
and
engineers
who've
already
allocated
probably
more
than
a
quarter
million
dollars
of
time
and
energy,
using
the
professional
expertise
and
licenses
to
advise
and
propose
something
to
the
city.
R
So
just
to
make
it
very
clear.
Our
neighborhood
association
supports
the
project
as
currently
designed,
we
will
be
back
to
advocate
passionately
on
Monday,
with
more
statistics
and
with
again
more
feedback,
and
so
just
in
general,
I
would
like
to
say-
and
my
children
happen
to
be
with
me
today
as
a
matter
of
circumstance.
R
The
reason
I'm
making
time
to
be
here
with
my
children
is
this
is
important
and
it's
important
to
all
the
families
who
live
on
the
south
side.
But
we
care
a
great
deal
about
this
and,
if
it's
not
going
to,
if
our
voice
isn't
going
to
be
heard,
then
why
are
we
spending
our
time
advocating?
Why
are
we
spending
our
time
thinking
and
speaking
with
their
professional
leaders
and
our
civic
leaders
to
make
our
communities
better?
R
If
that
falls
upon
deaf
ears,
then
at
a
certain
point
we
will
have
an
inactive
and
dispassionate
community,
and
that
is
something
we
absolutely
reject
and
we
stand
behind
an
informed
and
more
advocate
a
more
involved
community,
including
the
ability
for
my
family
to
walk
safely
down
the
street,
which
we
currently
cannot
do
on
this
corridor.
So
thank
you
for
your
time
and
I'll
pass
the
mic
and
I'll
be
sure
to
attend
the
work
session.
Without
my
two
children,
yeah.
A
It'll
be
at
7:30
just
so
you
know
and
I
want
to
thank
you
and
pretty
thank
this
gentleman
stepping
up
now.
That's
what
City
Council
is
all
about.
This
isn't
about
partisan
politics.
This
is
about
taking
care
of
the
needs
of
all
of
our
citizens,
and
so
we
always
ask
for
our
citizens
to
make
comments
when
they
feel
passionately
about
something,
give
us
some
input
and
hopefully
will
give
you
a
result
that
that
is
satisfactory
and
meets
the
needs
now
know
of
yourself,
but
those
two
young
people
that
you
brought
down.
O
Shaw
26:15
Druid,
Hill,
Drive
I'm,
the
past
president
and
current
board.
Member
of
a
grace,
Lake
Neighborhood
Association
I,
just
wanted
to
I'm
here
before
Council
and
express
our
continued
support
for
the
floor
drive
project.
We
are
excited
to
see
that
this
corridor
is
going
to
get
rebuilt.
We
are
in
incredible
support
of
having
a
walkable
connection
along
floor
drive
for
the
first
time
and
well.
You
know.
I
personally
cannot
comment
on
what
is
the
proper
Road
width.
O
I
would
just
advise
that
I
would
leave
it
to
the
design
experts
to
tell
us
what
is
the
proper
standard
for
the
speeds
that
we
want
to
maintain
and
I
would
just
would
like
to
say
that
as
long
as
those
standards
are
maintained
and
the
recommendations
that
the
design
professionals
are
listening
to,
I'm
sure
that
our
neighborhood
will
be
in
support
of
whatever
council
decides
so
long
as
the
corridor
is
maintained
as
a
safe,
both
drivable
in
walkable
roadway
in
the
future.
Thank
you
thank.
A
F
Hi
Doug
Smith
1512
South,
Lawn
Drive
in
Des,
Moines
I
am
NOT
a
roadway
expert,
but
I
have
friends
that
are
and
have
favors
to
cash
in.
So
what
I
have
to
share
with
the
council
are
five
different
professional
opinions
just
about
urban
Road
width
and
kind
of
the
trend
of
downsizing
as
councilmember
Mandelbaum
shared.
This
does
come
down
to
nothing
about
sidewalks
or
Road
widths.
This
is
about
the
Wakanda
Country,
Club
and
sidewalks
in
front
of
that
project.
F
I
F
Cattle
we've
got
just:
let's
go
mr.
maryk,
your
arms
go.
So
what
it
has
to
do
is
all
about
the
Wakanda,
Club
and
site
walks,
and
that's
what
this
is
about,
because
we
maintain
the
12
feet,
what
the
goal
will
be
or
the
short
end,
and
the
easy
answer
is
to
cut
sidewalks
Fluer
Drive
is
one
of
the
biggest
thoroughfares
and
arteries
in
the
city.
It
doesn't
have
sidewalks
you
look
at
in
our
neighborhood
or
the
south
side
or
the
southwest
side.
F
There's
nothing
until
you
get
the
Southwest
9,
there's
no
sidewalks
north
of
South
West
14th,
past
Watrous
and
where
I
live
on
South
Lawn
Drive
between
Porter
and
army
posts,
there's
just
a
hodgepodge
of
a
couple
of
blocks.
This
is
needed
and
if
you
can
assure
me
that
there
will
be
sidewalks
on
fluor
Drive,
regardless
of
the
lane
size,
then
mr.
Gatto
and
mr.
Coleman
I'll
support
and
have
that
conversation,
but
as
both.
L
When
it
comes
to
floor,
drive
I
was
born.
Raising
us
outside
I,
understand,
floor
drive
very
well.
I
think
that
any
efforts
to
improve
its
walkability
it's
used
by
citizens
is
something
that
should
be
seriously
considered.
I
know
I
spent
many
years
as
a
teacher
and
I've
had
students
that
have
walked
the
long
floor
drive
in
areas
that
were
not
and
did
not
have
sidewalks
and
it's
extremely
dangerous.
From
a
safety
standpoint.
When
you
look
at
floor
drive
I
have
driven
every
type
of
equipment.
L
You
can
imagine
down
floor
drive
from
automobiles
vans,
pickups
tank
wagons
transports,
I've
done
it
all.
Fleur
Drive
has
been
a
fairly
safe
Road
at
its
current
width
at
11
foot
I.
Think
it's
a
it's
well,
it
is
wait
right
now
it
it's
safe
when
it
comes
to
speed.
Yes,
I
believe
that
if
you
narrow
down
the
road
you
narrow
down
that
speed
and
if
you
drive
on
floor
drive
at
40
miles
an
hour,
you
will
be
left
in
the
dust.
People
will
pass.
L
You
continuously
I
Drive
it
every
day,
but
I
think
that
when
we
look
at
something
you
look
at
floor
drive
it's
a
beautiful
pathway
into
Des
Moines.
We've
built
those
nice
Center
Park
ways,
but
those
are
also
a
safety
hazard
because
there's
many
places
that
you
turn
one
of
them
to
on
Porter.
Well,
you
can't
see
oncoming
traffic
when
you
go
to
make
a
left-hand
turn
going
south
on
floor
drive
to
go
into
a
eastbound
area,
and
the
same
goes
with
pretty
much
where
those
are.
L
So
when
you
take
all
these
things
into
consideration,
I
think
that
they
should
all
be
looked
at
in
one
way
or
another,
but
I
think
that
sidewalks
are
extremely
important
and
the
one
thing
I
would
like
to
say
in
support
of
mr.
Smith
is
that
transparency
I
think
is
important
and
I
have
heard
three
different
comments
about
the
sidewalks
on
floor
drive
and
they
all
involve.
Wakonda
golf
club
and
I
understand
that
Club
very
well
I
was
a
caddy
there.
I
was
a
busboy.
There.
L
I
grew
up
around
that
neighborhood
I
used
to
sled
in
Wakanda.
They
voice
had
that
high
fence
around
it.
They
never
took
care
of
most
of
it,
but
I've
heard
trees.
Well,
we
have
to
take
out
too
many
trees
in
Wakanda,
but
four
years
ago
they
took
about
110
trees
out
of
a
continent,
so
a
few
trees
long
floor
drive
to
put
in
a
sidewalk
and
make
it
safe
for
our
citizenry
I
think
that's
a
small
price
to
pay.
L
B
A
Generally,
we
start
our
hearings
at
5
o'clock
and
we've
gone
a
little
past
that
it's
518,
so
we're
going
to
quickly
move
to
hearings
and
make
note
that
we
start
them
at
518.
First
item
on
hearings
is
item
48,
which
is
on
the
proposed
connection
fee
ordinance
for
little
4.
Mile
trunk
sewer
system
benefited
District,
Council,
munication
number
18,
535
a
is
the
first
consideration.
The
ordinance
above
and
B
is
communications
in
objection.
A
H
S
Name
is
Rick
Olson,
3012,
East,
31st
Street
court
for
these
purposes
today,
I'm
talking
about
a
piece
of
land
that
I
own
at
it's
literally
described
as
lot
five
in
the
Steven
Harvey
estates.
I
am
because
it
was
required,
apparently
filed
written
objections.
Last
Friday,
the
primary
objection
I
have
and
the
solution
to
the
proposed
problem
is
exclude
from
your
proposed
ordinance
properties
that
adjoin
to
other
municipalities.
In
my
instance,
I
have
a
piece
of
land
that
adjoins
on
the.
C
S
A
You
Rick
mr.
manager,
I'd
like
you
to
quickly
if
you
can
address
that
or
have
our
engineering
staff
address
that
it's
my
understanding
that
well
I
think
that
it
does
refer
to
some
fees
for
benefited
district.
If
they
choose
not
to
be
benefited
by
that
sewer,
they
do
not
connect
and
they
would
not
pay
any
fees
for
being
adjacent
to
it.
However,
if
it's
some
moment
or
another,
it
seemed
like
a
good
idea
to
have
sewer
rather
than
septic
or
wait
for
Pleasant
Hill
or
somebody
else
to
bring
it
in
from
another
way.
P
But
it
is
totally
up
to
the
property
owners
to
decide
whether
or
not
to
attach
to
the
trunk
line
you
may,
and
in
your
case
you
would
need
to
build
quite
a
bit
of
sewer
to
even
get
to
the
trunk
line,
so
that
would
have
to
be
part
of
your
determination.
But
again
it's
your
discretion
to
decide
whether
or
not
to
partake
in
this
trunk.
The
sewer
trunk
line
or
not.
The
proposal
that
I'm
hearing
is
to
exempt
your
property
or
to
take
you
out
of
the
benefited
district
exempt.
P
So
that
it's
not
just
my
property
right,
so
the
results
of
result
of
doing
that
would
put
more
of
the
cost
on
to
the
other
benefited
properties,
and
so
the
20
acres
of
fee
that
that
would
otherwise
be
pertaining
to
your
property,
would
have
to
be
then
picked
up
by
the
other
property
owners,
and
so
that
that
is
a
just.
That
is
a
decision
that
would
also
then
lead
to.
P
P
P
S
From
it
really
doesn't
solve
the
problem
and
Scott
I
would
beg
to
differ
with
you
that
you'd
be
going
I,
think
you,
you
didn't,
say
it
exactly,
but
down
a
slippery
slope,
because
you
would
be
laying
out
an
ordinance.
That's
very
specific.
If
you
have
land
that
adjoins
other
municipalities
within
the
benefited
area,
you
would
be
exempt.
You
wouldn't
be
utilized
in
the
formula
and
you
folks
and
you
can,
by
all
means
by
state
statute.
S
This
is
the
fact
that
there
is
a
per
annum
per
acre
three
and
a
half
percent
built-in
interest
rate.
Is
there
not
on
all
land
that
doesn't
jump
on
board
immediately,
so,
in
other
words,
my
hookup
fee
for
the
house
that
sits
on
the
20
acres
would
be
approximately
forty
three
forty
four
hundred
dollars
I've
got
19
other
acres.
If
I
parceled
off
an
acre
to
go
at
that
house,
if
I
wanted
to
hook
up
that
much
land
ten
years
from
now,
what
would
it
cost
me.
P
S
S
It's
not
tied
in
to
inflation.
It's
a
it's
an
arbitrary
figure
that
was
picked
at
3.5%,
your
loan
that
you're
going
to
take
out.
It's
got
either
10
or
15
or
20
year
cap.
Why
should
this
money
go
on
the
interest
go
on
ad
infinitum?
Why
isn't
it
capped
I
mean
it's
just
something
that
I
don't
know.
If
the
council
understands
some
of
this
information,
you
get
a
lot
of
information
fed
to
you,
just
like
I
do
in
my
other
line
of
work,
and
sometimes
it's
hard
to
swallow.
S
K
S
S
Somebody
has
a
piece
of
land
within
this
benefited
area.
That's
a
joins.
A
piece
of
city
property,
that's
already
in
of
city
limits.
Okay,
all
right
yeah
can
the
City
Council
add
an
additional
requirement
that
says:
yes,
you
can
sign
up
you
can
you
can
hook
up
but
to
hook
up
you're
going
to
have
to
allow
your
piece
of
property
to
be
annexed
to
the
City
of
Des,
Moines
I.
Believe.
P
S
In
a
way,
it
looks
great
you've
got
these
the
sanitary
sewer
coming
by,
but
I
don't
know
if
the
end
game,
because
I
don't
know
if
the
City
Council
has
been
made
aware
of
this,
you
folks
could
then
require
those
beneficiaries
to
be
annexed
into
the
city
of
Des
Moines.
Expanding
your
tax
base.
Is
that
and
believe
me,
the
city
needs
to
expand
their
tax
base.
Don't
get
me
wrong.
S
P
P
N
S
S
It
hasn't
been
developed,
so
you
could
require
the
adjoining
landowner
to
the
west.
You
could
require
that
they
be
they
that
they
are
voluntarily
annexed
to
enjoy
the
benefit
of
the
hook
up,
and
that
could
continue
down
the
road,
because
then
it
wouldn't
be
an
island
and
then
all
of
a
sudden,
it's
across
from
my
20
acres,
and
you
require
me
to
do
it.
That's
what
I
object
to
I
think.
N
What
the
ordinance
actually
says
and
we'll
double-check
for
you
but
I,
think
what
the
ordinance
actually
says
is
that
you
can't
object
to
orderly,
orderly
development
annexation.
So
it's
not
like
there's
a
you,
give
up
your
right
to
objective
to
further
into
objecting
to
to
annexation
at
a
later
point
in
time
it
doesn't
mean
that
you
automatically
annex
in
or
that
the
annexed
adjacent
property
owner
automatically
in
it
I.
S
Know
it
doesn't
mean
that
they
automatically
nxn
but
as
a
requirement
for
you
to
have
the
privilege
the
benefit
of
hooking
up
now.
I.
Do
you
pay
the
fee,
but
you
have
to
voluntarily
allow
the
city
to
and
that
you
that
you
don't
see
in
this
ordinance,
but
that's
the
fact.
That's
the
law
as
a
not
Scot
that
could
occur
in.
P
O
I
P
I
P
I
Forward
within
in
the
same
timeline,
that's
us
that
way
you
can
sit
down
with
mr.
Olsen
and
everybody
can
get
on
the
same
page
before
we
vote
on
anything.
So
I
would
make
the
motion
to
continue
this
for
you,
okay,
whole
thing:
48,
a
and
B
or
whatever
you
want
me
to
word.
It
we'll
continue

and
you
sit
down
and
have
discussions
with
mr.
Olsen
and
let's
try
to
everyone
get
on
the
same

with
that.
That
would
be

I
didn't
really

also
with
the

And
I
just
might
add
the
developer

somebody
I
respect

if
the
analysis
is
that
this
is
going
to
be
hard
to
develop

this
many
rooftops

whatever
it
is,
it
would
be
great
that
we
learned
that
earlier
in

than
later,

nobody
has
wasted
any
money.

mean
I
want
to
advocate
for

we're

predictable
as
we
can
be,

just

G

The
the
the
letter
requested
a
joint
meeting
and
I
I
think
it's
an
important
thing
to
do.
Given
the
strategy
and
the
priority
for
neighborhood
revitalization
I
would
suggest
that
we
do
it
and
I.
Maybe
somebody
has
information
that
I
don't
but
I
mean
if
the
request
is
that
we
meet
I,
can't
I
can't

not
to
but
I
can't
think
of

time
than

to
do
it
all.
I
K
While
they're
here
at
the
risk
of
being
a
little
bit
of
a
broken
record,
but
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
discuss
at
this
time,
if
we're
revisiting
a
board
I,
this
is
not
one
of
the
board's
I
believe
that
requires
gender
balance
under
state
law.
Since
this
is
a
creation
of
the
city,
but
I
would
hope
that,
as
as
we
reconsider
the
the
nature
of
the
board
that
there's
some
consideration
to
make
this
a
gender
balance
board
as
well.
I,
don't
know
if
that
was
part
of
the
discussion
earlier.
E
A
T
Mr.
mayor
council,
members,
I'm
Annie
Baldwin,
204
206
third
Street
Inez
Irish
pub,
currently
I
have
three
locations
in
the
Court
District
I'm,
the
vice
president
of
the
court
district
behind
me,
Afonso
Molech
he's
the
president
and
Ted
Holley.
He
has
three
bars
in
the
court.
District
I
also
have
the
st.
Patty's
Day
street
party
and
I'm
the
person
in
charge
of
collecting
and
paying
the
des
moines
off-duty
police.
We
use
every
summer
I'm
here
to
discuss
the
50/50
rule.
When
you
are
a
restaurant,
you
are
required
to
solve
at
least
50%
food.
T
I
am
here
to
protest
councils,
action
and
the
board
of
adjustments,
action
which
temporarily
changed
tipsy
crow,
with
a
conditional
use
permit
from
a
restaurant
to
a
tavern
in
2017,
the
City
of
Des
Moines
approved
my
plans
to
build
on
the
corner
of
3rd
and
Court.
Where
an
eases.
It
is
a
two
million
dollar
project.
Previously
Inez
has
been
zoned
as
a
tavern
to
remain
a
tavern.
I
went
through
a
very
lengthy
and
expensive
progress
process
and
was
completely
upfront
and
forthright
with
the
city
staff
and
the
board
of
adjustments.
T
It's
extremely
important
to
point
out
here
that
I
did
this
previous
to
moving
one
grain
of
dirt.
I
did
not
seek
to
save
time
and
acts
expense
by
misleading
any
city.
Official
I
have
provided
you
with
a
binder
with
counsel
yo
clips
and
the
Board
of
Adjustment
video
clips.
Now
I
want
to
talk
about
the
tip
secret,
a
Vern
at
102
3rd
Street
before
he
expanded
the
tip
zero
crowbar
owner
never
went
to
the
Board
of
adjustments
for
purpose
of
romanians
owned
as
a
bar
like
I
did.
T
He
knew
and
admittedly
was
told
that
they
would
never
approve
digging
up
his
parking
lot
and
making
a
10,000
square
foot
patio
that
backs
up
to
the
railroad
tracks.
Instead,
he
would
need
to
change
his
used
to
be
a
restaurant.
To
allow
that
to
happen.
Let
me
repeat
that
he
was
told-
and
he
understood
the
city
rule-
that
if
he
wanted
to
expand
and
build
a
huge
patio
bar,
he
would
need
to
apply
as
a
restaurant
and
run
his
business.
According
to
those
rules,
tipsy
Crowes
bar
owner,
mr.
T
mcfadden,
came
to
the
City
Council
June
12th
of
17th,
and
there
was
suspicion
that
people
have
been
trying
to
do
their
point
of
cysts.
Are
their
point-of-sale
systems
to
ring
up
drinks
like
a
rum
and
coke
for
$5.00
charging,
a
dollar
for
rum
and
$4
for
coke,
with
the
coke
going
towards
the
food
percentage?
And
then
this
was
completely
breaking
the
50/50
rule.
Councilman
Coleman
even
brought
up
this
scenario
on
June
26,
17
McFadden
came
back
and
showed
menus
and
promised
everyone.
T
Councilman
gada
was
voting
over
the
phone
that
he
was
always
going
to
be
a
restaurant
and
he
had
no
desire
to
be
a
bar
and
Christine
Hensley
asked
him
specifically.
What
will
he
do
if
he
doesn't
make
the
50/50
rule?
And
he
said
well,
I'll
just
come
back
in
and
ask
to
be
a
bar
and
mrs.
Hensley
said
she
would
not
approve
it,
and
she
advised
him
not
to
try
that
again.
T
He
was
warned
by
councilman,
Coleman
and
Hensley,
including
the
fact
that
the
ordinance
would
change
to
ensure
restaurants,
followed
the
rules
and
July
of
17
to
see
CRO
opened.
It
opened
with
a
dress
code,
security,
DJ's
people,
smoking
on
the
patio
and
they
charged
a
cover
charge.
Sometimes
twenty
dollars
a
head
to
come
in
no
restaurant
does
that
only
bars
and
dance
clubs.
Eventually
he
went
ahead
and
closed
his
kitchen
and
just
had
a
food
truck
there
and
June
of
18,
the
City
of
Des
Moines
audits,
the
tipsy
CRO
and
July
of
18.
T
T
He
did
exactly
what
he
told
you
he
was
going
to
do
in
2017
when
you
approved
his
liquor
license,
which
the
council
told
him
not
to
do
I
feel
like
the
City
Council
correctly,
and
instinctively
knew
that
this
is
what
McFadden
deliberately
trying
to
manipulate
the
local
laws
and
regulations
to
get
what
he
wanted:
an
expansion
and
an
enormous
patio
that
he
knew
he
would
not
be
allowed
before
he
even
leased
this
property.
He
may
have
just
thought
he
could
bully
his
way
through
the
process
and
ask
for
forgiveness
later.
T
The
difference
here
is
counsel
quizzed
him
through
every
step,
because
they
suspected
that
that
was
the
case
so
for
McFadden
to
come
back
here
to
the
Board
of
adjustments
and
counsel
year
later
and
cry
ignorant
and
that
he
tried
to
meet
the
rules
should
fall
on
deaf
ears.
The
rules
need
to
be
the
same
for
everyone.
I.
T
Did
it
right,
like
most
people,
do
he
did
not
at
their
July
meeting
the
board
of
adjust
adjustments
issued
a
four
to
one
vote
which
in
part
states
tipsy,
crow
tavern
needs
to
sell
food,
a
full
menu
during
business
hours?
There's
video
evidence
in
your
binder
two
days
ago
on
Saturday,
he
closed
his
kitchen
at
7
p.m.
and
continued
selling
alcohol
drinks
through
the
wee
hours.
I
believe
that
McFadden
has
manipulated
the
rules
and
misled
this
council
and
acted
in
bad
faith.
T
E
E
E
Mr.
McFadden
took
over
a
location
that
had
been
notoriously
kind
of
a
troubled
spot
and,
and
the
the
improvement
of
it
is
is.
Is
quite
nice
I'm
really
happy
that
my
adult
children
that
are
in
their
20s
now
like
to
go
to
Annie's,
which
is
a
little
place
on
court
Avenue,
but
they
also
like
to
go
down
there
and
every
time
they
go.
I
just
get
a
stomach
ache
because
I've
been
there
and
dropped
them
off,
been
there
uber
on
the
way
down,
and
they
only
take
cash.
E
N
H
T
H
A
H
A
To
that
and
I
guess,
I'd
like
to
first
your
city
attorney
well,
is
mr.
Coleman
points
out.
I
think
that
we
have
a
level
of
frustration
that
they
obviously
appealed
and
went
to
the
Board
of
Adjustment
and
but
our
what
is
our
recourse
here.
Our
recourse
is
what
ticket
court
I
mean
if
we
found
that
they
weren't
well.
N
A
I
I
How
late
will
your
kitchen
be
open
and
he
stats
at
right
there
and
told
me
two
o'clock
in
the
morning
every
time
he
was
open,
that's
correct
and
so
yeah,
it's
it's
real
frustrating
and
then
his
liquor
license
came
up
and
then
we
were
told
that
he
already
had
his
conditional
use
permit
and
we
couldn't
even
audit
or
do
anything.
So
he
did
skirt
the
system
and
go
around
it.
J
You
look
at
it,
it
didn't
say:
McFadden
or
tipsy
crow
in
the
conditional
use
permits
its
Coppola
enterprises
and
I'm,
assuming
Coppola
went
made
the
pitch.
So
if
I
was
on
the
board
of
adjustment
and
I
didn't
know,
this
was
tipsy
crow.
It's
pretty
deceptive
to
try
and
get
a
conditional
use
permit
for
your
property
and
you're,
not
even
running
the
restaurant
or
the
bar
I'm,
I
I.
Think
I.
Don't.

just
make
a
comment
to
that.
If
you'll
remember,
we
had
the
bar
triple-double
that
had
multiple
shootings
there
and
we
did
not
have
the
ability
to
pull
their
liquor
license
the
Iowa
State
Liquor
Commission,
there's
a
commissioner
and
we
had
residents
who
wrote
letters
to
the
Commission
and
said
please
check
in
to
their
moral
character
and
nothing
happened,
and
that
was
going
right
to
the
state
yeah.
G
N
Thing
I
can
until
Council
is
that
a
while
back
counsel
did
strengthen
the
city's
definition
of
good
good
moral
character.
So
it's
it's
broader
that
the
state
allows
you
to
regulate,
based
on
good
moral
character,
actually
put
a
little
bit
of
teeth
into
that
and
and
specified
a
little
bit
more
than
many
other
cities
have
in
their
code,
and
so
we
will
be
happy
to
take
a
look
at
that.
Look
at
this
information
get
whatever
information
the
manager's
office
gets
back
and
and
then
we'll
get
back
with
Council
based
on
our
findings.
N
E
T
A
H
U
Mayor
and
city
council
people,
my
name
is
Joe
grant
Annette
six,
two
one
five
Gordon
Avenue
des
Moines.
Why
am
I
here
I'm
here,
because
you
have
set
aside
almost
a
half
a
million
dollars
for
a
bike
path
when
you
had
homes
inundated
with
water
demolished
and
so
you're?
Taking
the
bike
path
precedent
over
taxpayers?
U
That's
a
concern
of
mine.
As
a
citizen,
the
whole
city
was
flooded,
June
30.
This
isn't
the
first
time
that's
been
flooded,
but
bike
paths
has
to
wait.
You
can
do
a
lot
of
fixing
sewer
lines,
storm
sewers
with
a
half
a
million
dollars.
In
fact,
I
see
two
projects.
There
were
two
thousand
dollars.
You
could
do
two
more
projects
and
fix
them
sooner
than
later.
U
U
Paths
now
you've
hired
someone,
but
this
is
a
big
expense
for
the
City
of
Des
Moines
bypass
I,
don't
know
what
your
budget
is
for,
but
I
think
the
bike
people
want
goodbye
pass
if
they
should
have
a
little
skin
in
the
game
and
potentially
they
should
be
charged.
It's
like
we
got
our
Vice
bicycles.
When
I
was
growing
up,
you
go
to
the
fire
station.
You
get
a
license.
U
That's
my
first
phase,
I
trade
on
this
on
the
east
side.
I
know
several
the
businesses
there,
you
put
the
pylons
out
there
I,
don't
notice.
The
new
guy
decided
this,
but
it's
the
most
convoluted
system
that
you
could
possibly
set
up
because
all
the
businesses
there
along
the
east
side
are
losing
business
because
you
can't
get
in
and
out
it's
dangerous.
There's
no
parking
and
when
you
park
on
this
side
there,
if
you
open
your
car
door,
it's
in
the
line
of
traffic
I
love
it.
U
If,
where
you've
gone
over
there,
there
have
been
two
accidents.
People
have
opened
up
the
corridor
and
there
have
been
some
crashes,
luckily
nobody's
gotten
hurt,
but
the
bike
paths
that
you
have
on
the
east
side
on
from
Pennsylvania
going
west
all
the
way
to
the
bridge
with
the
pylons
or
white
cones
I,
don't
know
what
you
call
them
needs
to
be
addressed,
because
businesses
are
losing
money.
U
They've
all
told
me
that
business
is
down
older
people
can't
get
in
and
out,
there's
no
place
to
park
and
I'm
sure
that
Joe,
if
you
had
a
business
at
Frank,
you
have
a
business,
and
maybe
they
want
to
put
him
on
Ingersoll
I,
don't
know,
but
I
will
tell
you,
you
will
lose
business
and
it
will
be
dangerous.
I
asked
the
UPS
man
there
he
can
to
come
in
in
one
of
the
places.
I
was
because
I
went.
U
Around
and
talked
to
people
once
I
found
out
about
these
I
wondered
if
they
were
everybody
liked
them.
Here
comes
the
UPS
man
and
he
says
to
me:
well,
you
know
you
ought
to
do
this
in
the
wintertime
trying
to
deliver
a
package
to
these
businesses.
There's
two
mounds
of
snow
and
then
the
owner
says
they
push
their
snow
out
into
the
street
and
then
the
snow
comes
back
and
then
the
UPS
guy
goes
well.
You
know
what
they
got
the
bike
pass,
but
the
bike
people
don't
ride
on
the
bike,
pass.
U
They
go
down
the
sidewalks
on
the
inside,
because
it's
a
wider,
not
much
traffic
and
it's
safer
for
the
bike,
people
that
that
drive
the
bikes
there.
So,
in
conclusion,
I
think
you
need
to
take
a
look
at
the
East
Village.
Someone
needs
to
address
that.
You
need
to
retrieve
this
half
a
million
dollars
that
you're
saving
for
whatever
you
want
to
build
this
bike
path.
I
think
it's
on
the
north
side
over
in
your
area
someplace
and
use
that
money
to
get
these
homes
fixed
with
new
stormwater.
Sooner
than
later,
thank
you,
perfect
timing.
J
I
E
Think
a
solution
to
the
pylons
and
these
cover,
which
are
coming
quickly,
a
solution
that
to
that
was
part
of
a
pilot
project.
So
we
could
kind
of
see
what
the
lanes
look
like
and
I
think
everybody
has
opinions
about.
The
pylons,
I
do
but
I
think
we're
ready
to
replace
those
not
with
new
pylons
but
to
kind
of
new
markings
and
get
it
going
for
the
future
so
and.
A
U
A
And
of
course
we
had
this
same
discussion
on
Ingersoll
right
with
the
bike
lanes
and
going
from
four
lanes
to
three
lanes,
one
each
direction
with
a
turn
lane
and
whether
or
not
that
was
gonna
put
everybody
out
of
business
or
not,
and
there
were
those
that
thought
so
I
mean
it
was.
As
mr.
Coleman
remembers.
It
was
a
rather
rough
discussion
for
a
period
of
time
and
how
better?
If
you
go
out
there
now
that
feeling
is
different.
Okay,.
J
M
All
right
chase,
Thank,
You
hello.
Mr.
mayor,
ladies
and
gentleman
at
the
City
Council
I'm
chase
home
career
resident
of
Des
Moines,
you
formerly
deployed
with
US
Army
for
a
number
of
years.
So
as
I
look
out
at
the
current
composition
of
the
council,
I
see
former
board
members
lawyer
a
realtor
and
a
few
businessmen,
but
what
I
do
not
see
our
veterans
first
responders.
Ethnic
minorities,
renters
or
hourly
rate
adjust
wage
workers
I've.
M
Better,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Oh
go
ahead,
all
right
just
cross
that
one
out,
therefore,
I
would
like
to
explain
how
a
few
changes
to
our
election
process
could
create
a
more
representative
council
of
cities,
current
composition,
as
well
as
why
we
should
add
a
vice
mayor
to
our
to
oversee
the
nightlife.
M
It's
a
current
issue
today,
I
heard
so
we
currently
utilize
a
council
that
is
composed
of
two
at-large
districts,
which
is
the
least
representative
form
and
four
single-member
districts
with
winner-take-all
voting,
which
does
not
allow
for
diversity
and
similar
to
Congress
in
the
Senate.
It
could
lead
to
pork
barreling
within
those
districts.
I
would
like
to
propose
three
districts
with
two
councillors
from
each
elected
by
a
plurality
of
voters.
That's
looking
down
in
the
handout
that
I
gave
you.
M
This
would
allow
for
a
greater
diversity,
both
in
terms
of
gender
race,
geographical
area,
economic
background
and,
most
importantly,
ideological.
This
would
also
create
more
stability
within
those
election
periods,
since
there
is
a
great
chance
of
working
together
post-election
these
factors
would
in
turn,
lead
to
a
greater
voter
turnout
than
the
usual
less
than
10
percent
I.
Believe
so
an
example
of
that
would
be,
as
the
four
of
us
will
run.
Let's
say
the
third
District
I
received
40%
samanda
was
all
Mandelbaum
receives
30%
mr.
M
Gatto
receives
20,
and
the
mayor
is
running
some
reason
as
a
councillor
for
10%
I
have
let's
say,
I'm
running
to
help
the
homeless
he's
running
to
increase
businesses
in
his
area.
So
let's
say
that's
a
minority
ideology,
well
that
minority
ideology
would
now
come
to
fruition
and
be
allowed
to
have
a
voice
with
on
the
City
Council.
M
So
that's
that's!
That
portion
of
the
City
Council,
the
vice
mayor,
also
known
an
absurd,
a
man
as
the
nightmare
established
in
2011
and
the
club
commissioner.
As
of
this
year,
New
York
City
established
one.
This
may
be
elected
or
selected,
they
may
vote
it's
up
to
you.
I
have
a
balance
for
that,
because
that
brings
us
up
to
eight.
Currently
that's
nice.
We
need
to
have
nine
to
break
that
vote.
We
may
create
a
Board
of
Advisors
I'll.
Leave
that
up
to
you.
M
If
you
choose
to
do
this
now,
since
nightlife
has
the
opportunity
to
create
a
more
diverse,
culturally
inclusive
City
and
to
expand
a
young
engage,
creative,
populous,
that's
why
I
think
the
night
mayor
or
the
vice
mayor
would
be
important.
Some
of
that
look
over
the
night.
The
nightlife
the
duties
of
this
vice
mayor
would
include,
but
are
not
limited
to
compiling
a
report
on
how
to
expand
the
nightlife,
improve
conditions
for
nightlife
workers
and
patrons
analyze.
M
How
to
resume
alcohol
violence,
investigate
the
effects
of
zoning
laws,
manage
noise
and
trash
nuisances
and
make
conditions
easier
for
artists
and
smaller
scale
night
businesses.
So
if
you
decide
to
allow
this
vice
mayor
to
vote,
we
could
balance
that
out
by
having
a
singular
at-large
councilmember
that
would
overlook
the
entirety
of
the
city
like
the
mayor.
Does
this
person
would
could
be
a
veteran
or
first
responder,
allowing
this
would
show
that
the
City
of
Des
Moines
respects
the
sacrifices
and
services
of
our
communities,
humor
uniform
protectors,
alright.
M
So,
in
conclusion
of
this
I'll
leave
you
with
a
quote
from
the
current
mayor,
America
Frank
Cownie.
If
we
just
think
from
the
same
sources
that
we've
always
thought
and
we
get
our
information
from
where
it's
always
come,
probably
we're
not
going
to
get
all
the
ideas
that
are
out
there
to
solve
the
problems.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Well,
thank.
I
K
H
K
I
P
M
Q
Mr.
Merrick
counsel,
John
Wilson
4225
floor
drive,
City
of
Des
Moines,
utilizes
them
impound
procedures
for
numerous
reasons,
such
as
to
obey,
public
nuisances
for
safety
reasons,
abandoned
vehicles
and
even
seizures
and
police
investigation.
When
properties
such
as
a
motor
vehicle
is
impounded,
there
are
procedures
in
place
which,
in
most
cases,
allow
the
rightful
owner
to
recover
their
car.
Q
This
usually
requires
the
owner
to
go
to
the
police
department,
pay
a
fee
to
obtain
a
release
document
which
they
then
take
to
a
private
towing
company,
which
is
contracted
by
the
city,
to
provide
towing
and
impound
storage
for
City
departments.
In
some
situations,
a
city
department,
such
as
police
mates,
decide
to
see
the
vehicle
in
order
to
search
it
at
a
later
date
or
for
other
investigative
purposes.
Q
In
such
situations,
the
police
will
typically
place
a
hold
on
the
vehicle,
meaning
that
no
release
documents
will
be
issued
to
the
respective
to
the
owner
until
the
officer
responsible
for
seizing
the
vehicle
decides
to
authorize
the
release,
the
officer
can
simply
claim
there
is
a
pending
investigation
with
no
accountability
to
anyone
or
the
officer
may
simply
inadvertently
forget
to
lift
the
whole.
Meanwhile,
the
property
owner
is
a
salad
with
a
hefty
bail,
which
really
is
because
the
property
owner
is
expected
to
pay
the
privately
contracted
impound
agent
for
the
costs
of
towing
and
storage.
Q
Another
common
example
is
a
person
suspected
of
driving
under
the
influence,
is
pulled
over
by
police
and
subsequently
arrested.
The
person's
vehicle
is
usually
impounded
in
order
to
get
off
the
public
roadway
as
a
matter
of
public
safety
and
immediately
the
person
finds
they
must
pay
for
the
tow
and
storage,
even
if
they're
later
found
to
be
totally
innocent
of
the
crime.
Q
This
determination
is
subject
to
review,
and
yet
before
the
limited
measure
of
due
process,
which
has
afforded
in
such
situations
can
even
run
its
full
course.
The
rightful
owner
finds
themselves
having
to
pay
for
towing
and
impound
fees
and
a
simple
belief.
Bias
of
the
inspector
that
a
vehicle
does
not
run
can
be
a
basis
for
impound
procedures
to
begin
and
a
homeowner
should
never
be
forced
to
prove
that
is
private
property
and
we're
private
vehicle
does
in
fact
run
any
of
these
examples.
Q
City
employees,
through
the
course
of
their
duties,
unilaterally
impose
considerable
financial
burdens
on
citizens
in
situations
where
a
city
employee
places
a
hold
on
a
vehicle.
The
result
can
be
a
bill
well
into
hundreds,
if
not
thousands
of
dollars.
If
the
rightful
owner
finds
he
or
she
is
unable
to
pay
the
cost
of
towing
of
storage,
the
impound
contractor
then
typically
sells
the
vehicle
to
recover
these
costs,
so
the
citizen,
whether
they
have
been
adjudicated
to
have
committed
any
wrongdoing
or
not,
can't
potentially
lose
his
or
her
vehicle.
Another
inherently
unfair
practice.
Q
That's
set
some
possible
solutions.
I've
considered
one
as
a
public
surface
for
the
people
of
Des
Moines,
a
very
low
cost
outdoor
parking
lot
suitable
for
storage
of
vehicles,
RVs
etcetera,
could
help
to
remedy
the
problems
of
public
nuisance
abatement,
providing
homeowners,
a
low-cost
alternative
for
storing
their
vehicles
when
they
have
no
garage
available
in
situations
where
a
city
employee
places
a
hold
delaying
the
issuance
of
an
impound
release,
there
needs
to
be
a
greater
degree
of
accountability.
Q
Perhaps
system
where
the
officer
or
other
employee
must
provide
clear
and
articulable
reasons
for
failing
to
release
the
vehicle.
A
simple,
electronica
and
publicly
accessible
form
could
be
used
to
help
avoid
unnecessarily
driving
up
the
costs
for
property
owners
and
a
to
avoid
situations
where
an
officer
may
accidentally
forget
to
issue
a
release
or
lift
a
hold.
A
very
strict
rule
requiring
an
officer
to
notify
police
impound
that
a
hold
no
longer
remains
I
could
be
put
in
place
anyway.
