A
Good
afternoon
everybody
we're
going
to
get
started
with
our
City
Council
meeting
here
shortly.
But
prior
to
that,
we've
got
a
couple
of
quick
proclamations
that
we
want
to
read
this
every
every
year,
December
21st
we
do
a
special
memorial
and
it's
the
National
homeless
persons,
Memorial
Day
and
we've
worked
with
Joe
and
Joppa
and
gentlemen
to
turn
over
to
you
to
say
a
couple
words
in
their
more
recent
occupation.
B
B
This
will
be
our
11th
year
and
we'd
really
rather
not
be
coming
up
here
every
year
and
doing
this
would
rather
end
homelessness
and
so
I
would
just
encourage
all
of
you,
council,
members
and
everyone
here
today
to
please:
let's
have
a
conversation
about
this
in
2020
and
let's
just
stop
this,
it's
crazy
and
it
can't
be
stopped
and
so
mayor.
Thank
you.
So
much
you've
been
doing
this
with
us
for
11
years
and
every
year
the
mayor
is
here
with
us:
Emily
sign
this
proclamation,
it's
very
meaningful.
A
Now,
therefore,
I,
the
mayor,
the
City
of
Des
Moines
on
behalf
of
our
whole
city
council
and
the
citizens
Des
Moines,
do
hereby
proclaim.
December
21st
2019
his
national
homeless
persons
memorial
day
in
recognition
of
the
people
who
have
died
homeless
in
and
around
Des
Moines.
We
hereby
ask
all
of
our
citizens
to
take
a
moment
of
silence
in
remembrance
and
encourage
our
citizens
to
support
all
efforts
to
eliminate
homelessness
in
our
community
and
I
want
to
thank
all
those
who
have
committed
to
to
trying
to
further
this.
A
C
So
we're
in
the
middle
of
writing
our
first
ever
urban
forest
master
plan.
We
were
waiting
till
we
got
our
first
ever
computerized
tree
inventory
to
begin
that
process.
We
expect
to
roll
it
out
in
the
mid
year
of
2020,
and
we
thought
we
would
like
to
celebrate
all
year
long
to
provide
emphasis
about
trees
and
their
benefits
and
all
the
good
things
they
do
to
us
and
before
I,
quite
get
that
far
I'll.
Take
a
point
of
special
privilege
and
thank
of
volunteer.
C
You've
heard
me
thank
her
many
times
before,
but
since
she's
a
long-suffering
volunteer
who
works
for
no
pay,
I
did
once
again
want
to
appreciate
my
long-suffering
volunteer.
Jeannette
who's
been
with
me
since
2012,
and
she
in
fact
is
doing
some
work
on
one
of
the
chapters
for
the
urban
forest
master
plan
so
and
because
behind
every
long
suffering
servant,
there's
a
long-suffering
spouse
I
have
a
gift
both
for
Janette
and
for
your
husband
John.
And
would
you
help
me
thank
Janette
for
her
years
of
service.
C
D
Thank
you
very
much
David,
so
I
have
one
of
these
numbers
run
down
things
and
it
starts
at
1:00
and
it
goes
to
30,
but
don't
worry,
I'm
not
going
to
use
every
number
in
between.
So
first
of
all,
we've
been
just
blessed
and
privileged
to
work
with
David
and
the
entire
staff
here
in
the
city.
So
that's
one
great
city
forester.
You
will
have
one
great
urban
forest
master
plan.
D
E
Thanks
David
I'm
very
excited
to
be
in
Iowa's
largest
urban
forest
celebrating
the
year
of
the
tree
and
unveiling
of
the
master
plan
this
coming
year.
Master
plans
are
very
essential
for
looking
towards
the
future
and
our
urban
forests
they're
crucial
for
providing
environmental
benefits,
economic
and
the
health
of
our
citizens
in
our
community
and
I'm
very
hopeful
that
Des
Moines
will
be
a
leader
for
all
of
the
other
communities
and
setting
goals.
E
One
of
the
items
in
the
master
plan
is
mirroring
our
statewide
goal,
which
is
increasing
Iowa's
urban
forests,
three
percent,
so
that
would
mean
the
City
of
Des
Moines
would
go
to
thirty-two
percent
canopy,
which
would
mean
almost
a
third
of
our
cover
would
be
with
trees,
and
that
is
essential
to
make
sure
that
our
community
is
healthy
and
vibrant.
So
thank
you.
C
F
Well,
first
I'll
just
start
by
thanking
city
council,
city
manager
and
city
man,
the
mayor
for
helping
support,
growing
futures
this
year.
Trees
forever
is
partnered
with
the
cities
since
2012
to
train
volunteers,
to
care
for
trees
around
the
city,
and
this
year
we
now
employ
teenagers
to
take
care
of
your
city,
trees,
our
city
trees,
around
Des
Moines.
So
this
has
been
a
big
year.
We
planted
750
trees,
Oh
across
city
of
Des
Moines.
We
cared
for
over
8,000
trees
by
watering
them
throughout
the
summer.
F
Our
volunteer
numbers
are
three
hundred
and
ninety
five
volunteers
residents
of
Des
Moines
have
come
out
to
care
for
trees.
We
have
our
tree
keepers
here:
waving
Steve
Thank,
You
Raven,
as
our
tree
keepers
put
given
1200
hours
of
service
to
the
city.
We
I'm
really
proud
of
this,
because
the
City
of
Des
Moines
we've
employed
45
teenagers
and
young
adults
to
care
for
the
city
trees.
They
get
paid
hourly.
They
get
workforce
development
training
every
week,
including
financial
literacy,
resume
building
green
job
shadowing
things
that
will
make
them
our
future
leaders.
F
C
All
right
and
all
those
accomplishments
were
just
in
year,
one
of
that
program,
all
those
youth
employed.
So
it's
it's
been
a
great
success.
Urban
trees
are
so
important
in
the
city
that
nearly
every
municipality
in
Iowa
has
a
tree.
Canopy
growth
goal
Amma
mentioned
3%
over
the
next
25
years
to
meet
that
3
percent
goal.
We
need
an
additional
3,800
trees
planted
every
year.
We
currently
plant.
Well,
the
record
this
year
was
700,
so
we've
got
to
do
five
times.
C
A
You
know
it
is
has
been
pointed
out
with
all
these
volunteers,
the
the
all
the
goals
that
we
set
can't
be
accomplished
by
just
one
entity.
It's
all
of
us
working
together
that
make
it
happen
and
I.
Think
that's!
Is
that
look
in
the
audience
here.
That's
how
this
this
city
has
come
as
far
as
it
has
over
the
last
15
20
years.
It's
it's
all
of
us.
Working
together,
I
see
polk
county
officials.
A
Here
I
see
state
officials
here
I
see
city
I,
see
business,
I,
see
residents
and
it's
all
of
us
working
together,
and
we
need
to
continue
to
to
do
that,
whether
it's
in
your
neighborhood
or
it's
on
your
own
property,
it's
in
a
city
park,
it's
in
the
rights
away.
It's
all
the
places
where
we
can
work
together
to
make
this
city
a
great
place,
not
only
for
us
today
but
for
future
generations.
So,
let's
keep
working
together
and
quickly.
I'll
read
the
proclamation.
A
The
City
of
Des
Moines
has
49,000
street
in
park
trees
as
well
as
300,000
trees
in
the
public
forest
and
whereas
there
are
more
than
500,000
private
property,
trees,
owned
and
maintained
by
residents
in
the
city
and
whereas
Des
Moines
is
working
with
residents
and
nonprofit
partners
to
increase
the
tree.
Canopy
cover
from
29
to
32
percent
to
meet
the
state
of
Iowa's
goal
of
a
canopy
increase
of
3
percent
by
2045.
Now
I've
got
to
ask
you
a
quick
question
on
that.
Mr.
arborist.
A
Incorporated
we
need
to
encourage
the
rest
of
Iowa
to
do
the
same,
because
I
think
if
we
went
up
to
the
up
in
some
of
the
areas
of
the
state
and
looked
at
the
history,
that
over
the
last
50
200
years,
we've
cut
down
about
60%
of
the
trees
that
cover
this
state
and
we've
got
to
think
about
the
future
of
Iowa.
The
future
of
our
soil.
The
future
and
the
quality
of
our
water
in
trees
really
are
a
great
partner
in
helping
to
preserve
this
state
in
our
water
and
our
resources
for
the
future.
A
So
the
Des
Moines
residents
will
need
to
plant
3,000
trees
annually
on
public
and
private
property.
To
achieve
our
goals
in
the
residents
of
Des
Moines
are
encouraged
to
increase
the
urban
tree
canopy
through
planning
programs
such
as
growing
futures
in
tiny
trees,
City
of
Des
Moines
Public,
Works
Department
will
publish
its
urban
forest
master
plan
and
increase
public
education
by
promoting
the
urban
forest
master
plan
in
2020.
A
Now,
therefore,
I
on
behalf
of
the
City
Council
and
the
citizens,
city
of
Des
Moines
do
hereby
proclaim
the
calendar
year
of
2020
as
the
year
of
the
tree,
and
we
urge
all
of
our
citizens
and
people
in
and
around
Des
Moines,
in
Iowa
to
celebrate
2020
as
a
year
of
the
tree
in
Des,
Moines,
specifically,
and
to
support
efforts
to
plant,
maintain
and
celebrate
the
urban
trees
in
woodlands.
Let's
give
all
these
volunteers
a
great.
B
H
A
Now,
prior
to
the
start
of
our
City
Council,
we're
gonna
get
started
here.
A
minute.
We've
got
a
young
man
here
that
has
been
on
the
City
Council
for
a
little
while,
and
unfortunately
this
is
his
last
meeting
and
I'm
gonna
ask
him
to
come
up
now
and
Chris
Coleman
come
up
and
we're
going
to
give
you
an
opportunity
to
just
say
a
couple
of
words.
H
Hi
everybody
earlier
we
had
a
proclamation
and
I've
been
able
to
be
there.
The
event
is
one
of
the
sparkling
jewels
in
our
community.
It's
the
memorial
at
the
Capitol
for
homeless
and
if
on
December
21st
at
5:30
I,
don't
think
he
said
this
I
wasn't
listening
very
carefully,
I
guess,
but
it's
the
longest
day
of
the
year
and
why
they
do
it
every
year
on
the
21st
I
hope
that
you'll
join
them.
It's
always
a
really
moving
the
longest
night
of
the
year.
Thank
you
shortest
eighth
longest
night
man
I
got
hecklers
here.
H
I'm
I'm
really
happy
to
be
here
and
I
have
been
amazingly
lucky
to
be
on
this
journey.
I
got
elected
20
almost
22
years
ago.
In
you
know
an
election
I,
probably
shouldn't
have
won.
It
was
on
a
shoestring
budget.
It
was
a
long
time
ago
and
my
family
in
my
life,
have
changed
a
lot.
I'm
gonna
introduce
my
family
in
a
minute,
but
our
16
year
old
daughter,
she
turned
17
and
in
a
week
she
was
born
five
years
after
I
got
elected.
That's
that's
how
long
I've
been
doing
it.
H
The
other
marker
about
doing
it
long
as
when
I
first
got
elected
council
members.
Nobody
up
here
was
elected
then,
but
being
on
the
City
Council
came
with
like
this
technology
perk
and
as
soon
as
you
got
elected,
you
got
a
call
from
the
city
clerk
where
you
could
run
down
to
the
City
Hall
and
get
your
beeper
now,
half
the
room
doesn't
even
know
what
a
beeper
is,
but
long
before
cellphones
or
anything
else.
H
If
somebody
had
to
get,
you
had
a
little
thing
on
your
belt,
where
they
call
in
and
punch
their
number
in,
and
all
you
saw
was
the
number
and
you
could
call
him
back
so
I've
been
doing
this
long
enough,
that
the
the
the
the
key
to
success
was
following
up
on
your
beeper
messages.
I've
been
very
lucky,
my
family
is
here.
Would
you
guys
come
up
with
and
stand
with
me
so.
I
H
I'll
go
on
to
order.
This
is
the
boss
she's,
the
CEO
of
team,
Coleman
and
she's,
the
one
that
let
this
all
happen,
NIC
is
the
oldest
Maggie
is
down
here.
She
lives
downtown
works
at
one
of
our
great
company
at
principle,
which
is
like
really
great
for
me
when
nobody
left
downtown
except
Karl
when
I
got
elected,
that's
a
compliment.
Jesse
is
number
three
works.
A
principal
downtown
Katy
is
number
four.
A
nursing
student
at
Creighton
and
Ellie
is
our
show.
H
Choir
junior
at
Dowling
and
we're
gonna
go
see
her
first
performance
at
7:30,
so
you
may
think
I'm
going
to
talk
a
long
time,
but
we
will
be
done
by
7:30,
because
I
got
to
go.
Watch
her.
There's
a
lot
of
people
that
I'd
like
to
thank
and
I'm
not
gonna,
go
through
because
it's
almost
everybody
in
this
room,
but
but
in
in
a
couple
of
categories.
I
want
to
just
acknowledge
really
important
people.
H
This
is
my
dad
rod.
He
flew
back
from
Arizona
to
today
to
surprise
me
and
I'm
happy
about
that
when
I,
when
I
first
decided
to
run
I
told
Marcy
first,
we
of
course
talked
about
it.
A
long
time
and
I
went
out
to
see
my
mom
and
dad
and
told
him.
I
was
thinking
about
it
before
I
left
that
night
he
had
written
a
hundred
letters
to
his
friends
asking
for
money.
H
H
View
golf
course
became
a
incredible
golfer
as
he
caddied
for
all
the
names
the
played
over
at
Grand
View
in
the
late
40s
and
50s,
but
I
always
always
thought
that
his
experience
growing
up
on
the
east
side
and
talking
about
that
made
me
a
much
better
city
wide
city,
counselor
and
I'll,
always
be
grateful
for
that.
Thank
you.
H
H
That's
I
saw
him
for
a
minute
my
my
right-hand
person,
who
put
up
every
sign
every
night.
We
went
out
to
put
up
signs
at
midnight
till
3:00
in
the
morning,
because
we
had
little
kids
as
Pete's
and
I
wouldn't
be
here.
Without
him,
a
guy
I
went
to
kindergarten
and
and
all
through
grade
school
in
high
school
and
bed
buddies.
Since
I
was
a
little
guy,
Pete
Hunter
there's
so
many
people
that
I've
been
around
for
a
long
time
that
has
made
this
happen.
H
You
know
to
be
gone
for
a
meeting
or
two,
and
it
wasn't
like
attendance
at
meetings
was
not
like.
First
and
foremost,
tonight
is
I.
Think
almost
number
700
meeting
I
participated
in
100
percent
of
them
and
two
of
them
I've
had
to
be
other
places.
Well,
I
was
at
his
50th
birthday
party,
a
long
ways
away
and
missed
one
and
and
one
time
I
had
to
be
gone
for
a
family
emergency,
but
other
than
that
I've
been
able
to
be
here
and
I
always
say
we're
like
the
original
reality.
H
Tv
I
never
left
the
car
not
excited
to
be
up
here
and
and
see
kind
of
the
city
unfold
and
all
the
stories
and
everything
happened.
So
I'm
really
proud
of
that
and
I'm
really
happy
that
we
have
a
City
Council
and
all
my
colleagues
that
are
equally
committed
and
work
hard,
many
of
them
harder
than
I.
Do
it's
really
incredible
the
kind
of
people
that
this
city
has
elected
and
attracted
that
was
an
important.
An
important
commitment.
H
As
it
happens,
I
told
you
my
dad
raised
a
lot
of
money
for
me
in
my
first
campaign:
47
hundred
dollars
for
a
citywide
primary
and
general
election
to
replace
me
me
coming
in
4700
me
leaving
is
over
a
hundred
and
fifty
five
thousand,
and
it's
it's
just
really
it's
it's
something
that
I
think
as
a
society.
We
have
to
put
our
hands
around
and
say:
how
are
we
going
to
manage
this?
H
H
Have
been
able
to
be
quoted
and
set
a
whole
lot
of
fun
things.
My
kids
like
to
tease
me
one
day:
I
was
driving
across
Iowa
a
guy
that
covered
us
for
the
register,
who
still
works
for
the
register.
Like
he's
the
only
one
Jayson
Claypool
Jayson
Claypool,
who
worked
there
the
whole
time
clay
were.
Thank
you
he
he
he
calls
me
I'm
on
the
interstate
I
think
that
it's
not
gone
through
or
I,
don't
answer
it
in
time.
H
H
H
I'm
I
was
really
proud
to
be
a
doweling
boy
and
a
beaver
de
lien
and
I've
been
quoted
from
things
that
Pete
and
I
and
Tom
triplet
and
other
high
school
and
Leo
another
high
school
classmate
that
we
learned
in
life
planning
at
Dowling,
life
has
dignity
and
life
has
continuity
and
all
those
things
turn
out
to
be
really
really
true.
When
I
got
to
the
point
where
I
had
to
decide
about
running
again
this
year,
a
quote
kept
coming
back
to
me.
H
H
Everything
that
this
takes
it's
a
blast,
I've
loved
every
second
of
it,
but
it
also
kind
of
takes
away
a
normal
routine
and
a
normal
life
and
I
need
to
be
a
better
husband
and
father
and
son
and
friend,
and
so
it's
it's
it's
time
that
I
move
on
and
I'll
always
always
be
happy
that
I've
had
this
time.
I'll
always
be
proud
of.
What's
happened
in
the
city,
I
get
to
go
back
and
work
every
day
and
wake
up
on
time
and
show
up
at
work,
not
9:30
with
my
colleagues
at
the
BBB.
H
Thank
you
for
being
here,
but
it's
it's
been
really
important
and
if
there's
any
peace
that
comes
from
retiring,
it's
it's
really.
The
kind
of
the
peace
that
comes
with
hey,
I,
know
what
I'm
born
for
it's.
Really
it
really
drives
your
ego
that
people
want
your
time
and
people.
You
know
blow
smoke
and
tell
you
what
you
want
to
hear,
but
leading
a
city
is
not
what
I
was
born
to
do.
Leading
the
family
and
and
leading
a
good
life
is
and
I'm
really
lucky
to
be
able
to
walk
away.
H
Feeling,
like
I,
can
claim
victory
and
that
things
are
good
and
things
are
good
in
Des
Moines,
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
chance
to
serve.
It's
been
the
highest
honor
and
I've
loved
every
second
of
it
and
I
wish
Carl
vos.
All
the
luck
in
the
world
he's
going
to
be
great,
and
this
City
Council
behind
us
is
one
of
a
kind
to
a
person.
H
There's
not
a
thing
that
I've
seen
any
of
them
do
where
I
would
judge
their
motives
or
think
that
what
they're
doing
a
self-centered
and
this
community
is
very
lucky
to
have
you
Josh
Frank,
Linda,
Connie
bill,
I
love,
you
guys
and
you've
been
so
good
to
me.
Thank
you.
I
was
gonna,
come
back
and
talk
to
Jo
laughs.
I
really
was
going
to
come
back
to
you.
H
These
guys
have
been
have
been
allies,
Joe
and
Frank,
especially
maybe
it's
just
because
we're
guys
and
and
they've
been
a
godsend
to
me
to
have
a
friend
and
an
ally,
as
well
as
a
colleague
and
I'm
I'm,
really
really
lucky
to
have
served
with
these
guys.
The
city
is
lucky
to
have
them.
So
with
that,
let
me
say:
I
thank
you.
H
I'm
thrilled
to
have
had
this
chance,
I'll,
never
walk
away
from
the
city,
because
I
love
it
here
and
I'm,
so
proud
of
what
we've
done
and
I
look
forward
to
being
a
volunteer
and
a
citizen.
We
got
plenty
of
politicians,
we
need
good
citizens
and
all
showing
that
ranks.
Thank
you
very
much.
God
bless.
A
H
People
are
often
unreasonable
and
self-centered,
forgive
them
anyway.
If
you
are
kind
people
may
accuse
you
of
ulterior
motives
be
kind
anyway.
If
you
were
honest,
people
may
cheat,
you
be
honest
anyway.
If
you
find
happiness,
people
may
be
jealous
be
happy
anyway.
The
good
you
do
today
may
be
forgotten
tomorrow.
Do
good
anyway,
give
the
world
the
best
you
have,
and
it
may
never
be
enough,
but
give
your
best
anyway.
H
K
J
A
A
We
have
a
special
item:
1
1
or
1
I.
This
is
a
special
naming
of
a
multi-use
recreational
bridge
between
Gray's
lake
park
in
Gray's,
station
development
and
I
will
ask
all
of
our
council
members
actually
and
in
Joe.
If
you
want
to
come
forward
and
we'll
go
through
this,
but
and
I'd
ask
Chris,
Coleman
and
Marcy
to
please
come
come
forward.
That's
all
good.
L
M
He
brings
out
the
best
emotion
in
me:
I'll
tell
you
that
first
off,
thank
you.
Everyone
for
being
here.
This
is
this
is
very
difficult.
I've
got
one
of
my
very
very
best
friends
that
I
love
I've
learned
a
ton
from
over
the
last
six
years,
then
I'm
gonna
hate
to
see
him
go
just
like
all
of
us
he's
dedicated
his
life
to
this
city.
I
mean
22
years
of
being
elected
to
this
seat.
Anyone
that's
served
in
this
seat.
M
I
M
Gratitude
for
that,
when
we
talked
about
naming
something
after
Chris,
we
couldn't
do
that
without
naming
something
after
Marcy,
also
because
I
know
what
my
wife
goes
through.
Just
in
six
years,
I
can't
imagine
22
years
and
raising
five
kids,
it's
an
incredible
thing
and
you
are
a
rock
star
Marcy,
no
doubt
about
it
and.
M
M
One
of
them
is
wisdom.
I
couldn't
tell
you
anyone
else
that
I've
learned
anything
other
than
the
mayor
of
course,
sitting
up
here
and
been
here
this
long
process
how
to
deal
with
folks
how
to
get
things
done
through
this
I
was
never
given
a
guideline
book
or
how
to
do
this
or
how
to
do
that.
It
was
Finn
for
yourself
and
I
had
to
lean
on
some
of
my
colleagues
to
make
that
happen,
and
he
was
one
of
them,
a
ton
of
wisdom
that
you
gain
as
you
sit
in
the
seat.
M
To
make
things
happen,
you've
got
it
and
it's
incredible.
Honor
honor
is
something
that
you
don't
just
have
I
mean
some
people,
some
people
don't
have
that,
and
we
all
know
what
it
is
and
it's
something
special,
the
either
you
have
it
or
you
don't
and
Chris
is
a
very
honorable
person.
What
his
word
is.
He
means
it
what
he
says:
he
means
he's
easy
to
get
along
with
he'll
tell
you
if
he
doesn't
agree
with
you
and
I've
learned
a
lot
from
that,
and
he
has
a
way
of
saying
it.
That's
not!
M
Devotion,
obviously,
we've
talked
about
that
five
kids,
one
not
even
born
she's,
17
years
old,
devoting
your
time
and
your
energy.
What
you've
given
to
this
city?
Absolutely
incredible
and
there's
no
way
of
saying
thank
you
to
that.
What
what
this
city
has
gone
through
the
last
22
years
is
an
incredible
transformation,
and
somebody
that's
been
here
from
the
beginning,
it's
incredible
to
say
what
it's
gone
through.
You
have
many
many
things
to
be
proud
of
creativity,
and
we
see
that
every
single
day,
every
single
day
that
I've
worked
with
Chris
I
see
his
creativity.
M
It's
not
black
or
white.
There's
a
way
around
to
make
things
happen
that
you're
able
to
get
things
done
and
I
will
have
him
on
speed,
dial
to
make
sure
that
that
he
answers
this
phone.
You
know
for
when
I
first
got
elected,
I'm,
going
to
tell
you
really
and
I'm
gonna,
be
brief.
Chris
would
walk
into
the
meeting
ten
minutes
late.
Every
single
time
and
I
would
always
give
him
a
hard
time
about
it.
I
was
like
oh
we're
on
Coleman
time
right.
M
You
are
in
a
vacation,
a
leave
of
absence.
That's
what
you
earn,
it's,
not
a
retirement,
so
congratulations
I'll,
let
some
others
probably
say
something,
but
we
also
have
a
flag
that
we
want
to
present
to
you
that
city
staff
had
wants
you
to
have.
You
were
instrumental
in
and
getting
this
you
and
the
mayor
wanted
this
back
as
our
city
flag
a
few
months
ago,
and
it
means
a
lot
to
you
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
you
have
one
and,
like
I
said
we
both
love,
you
and.
K
M
A
I'm
sure
that
lots
of
others
have
lots
of
things
that
say,
and
everything
is,
is
true
that
that
Joe
said
Chris
has
been.
There
he's
been
a
guide
when
I
used
to
chair
plan
and
Zoning
even
listened
to
me.
Occasionally
when
I
had
some
things
to
say,
but
I've
got
to
tell
you
through
it
all.
She
were
thick
and
thin
good
times
bad
times.
The
rock
of
that
family
is
this.
This
girl
right
here
then.
A
When
pressed
when
Chris
was
out
doing
is
his
politicking,
the
person
that
was
holding
the
family
together
his
mom
and
in
when
he
got
home
at
night
and
needed
a
little
comfort
and
a
little
bit
of
boost,
and
maybe
some
pick-me-up
it
was
mom
and
and
not
only
your
kids,
mom
but
I
know
your
mom
was
big
in
your
life
as
well.
So
dad
thank
you
for
sharing
your
son
and
your
family
with
us.
This
has
been
a
great
trip
and
the
best
to
you
both
and
Chris,
will
have
you
on
speed
dial.
So
anybody.
N
I
O
This
is
awful
tough,
you
know
we've
got
so
far
apart
on
the
council,
we
had
to
send
hand
signals
to
each
other
because
couldn't
hear
each
other,
but
Chris
and
I
go
way
back
way
back
to
Beaverdale
Italy,
of
course,
Holy
Trinity,
kids
together.
In
fact,
if
you
want
to
start
pointing
a
finger
at
somebody
that
got
me
started
in
politics,
it
was
Chris.
He
pointed
me
to
the
Zoning
Board
of
Adjustment,
now
listen
to
the
date,
September
10th
2001-
and
you
know
everybody
knows
what
the
next
day
was
I
thought
Matt.
O
What
did
I
do?
I
must
have
done
something,
but
it
was
his
foresight
and
his
ideas,
I
would
get
it.
I
was
chairman
for
nine
years,
and
it
really
meant
a
lot
to
me
and
he
was
there
the
whole
time
giving
me
ideas
supporting
me
and
then,
when
I
decided
that
I
want
to
try
to
do
the
same
thing.
I
wanted
to
be
Chris.
Coleman
jr.
I
started
to
go
through
the
same
process,
I
leaned
on
him
for
tremendous
ideas.
O
He
was
always
there
for
me
and
when
I
got
on
it
just
was
such
a
relief
to
have
somebody
with
that
knowledge
level.
The
competence,
the
the
kind
of
thing
that
you
want
to
have
compassion
for
and
you
had
the
drive
the
seriousness
to
keep
the
city
moving
forward.
I've
learned
so
much
I've,
just
I
feel
like
I've
gotten
up
to
here.
I
need
to
get
back
up
here.
So
I'm
going
to
listen
to
what
councilman
Coleman
said.
You
know
you're,
not
retiring
chief
you're
going
to
be
just
taking
a
little
vacation,
Chris
I
love.
O
P
Q
Mr.
Coleman,
you
have
know
me
the
longest
in
fact,
I
think
I
have
your
original
yard
sign,
because
it
was
more
burgundy,
I
think
I
think
it's
still
in
the
garage
keep
putting
it
out,
put
it
out,
bosons
and
Coleman's
go
way
back
and
it's
been
great.
The
short
time
I've
worked,
but
it's
been
greater.
The
friendship
and
the
abolitionist
workers
that
are
all
here
every
one
of
his
kids
are
a
policies'
workers.
So
we
appreciate
you
supplying
this
with
a
great
work
force.
Q
R
R
You
look
at
your
friends,
it's
what
you
model
from
what
a
public
servant
should
be,
and
it's
the
words
that
you
say
the
inspirational
quotes
that
guide
you,
the
values
that
are
evident
in
what
motivates
your
service,
it's
you're,
just
a
fundamentally
decent
person
and
one
of
the
ways
that
you
see
that
expressed
you
know.
Dan
was
pointing
out.
You've
worked
with
a
lot
of
council
members
over
the
years
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
have
learned
and
enjoyed
watching
is.
R
There
are
some
pretty
different
personalities
on
this
council,
pretty
different,
pretty
pretty
different
approaches
to
policy
and
and
you've
figured
out
how
to
work
with
us
all
and
you
figured
out
how
to
solve
problems
with
us
all,
and
that
is
what
real
public
service
is
about.
We're
here,
to
solve
problems
and
make
our
community
better
and
I
know.
Even
when
we've
disagreed
that
that's,
why
you're
here
and
that's
what
makes
someone
a
good
public
servant.
So
thank
you
for
modeling,
that
for
me
and
for
our
community.
H
S
H
Did
a
bridge
I
love
that
it's
a
bridge,
I
I
love
it
and
it
means
a
lot
and
the
day
we
opened
it.
I
stayed
for
a
long
time,
not
knowing
anything
about
it,
because
it's
just
beautiful
it
connects
my
daughter's
apartment
to
Gray's
lake
she's
about
as
close
to
the
bridge
as
anybody
right
now.
It's
just
a
beautiful
area
and
I'm
really
happy
about
that,
and
thank
you
I
guess
you
haven't
voted
yet,
but.

Anyone
here
to

to

P
No
I
want
to
move
it.
I'm
sorry
I
was
just
waiting.
I
just
want
to
I
will
move
item
68,
but
I
just
want
to
express
my
appreciation
to
my
fellow
council
members
who
supported
this
I
know
a
couple
years
ago
we
were
having
discussions
and
we
really
didn't
have
a
way
to
pay
for
it.
We
figured
that
out.
We
have
a
way
and
I'm
excited
about
it,
but
I'm
excited
about
all
the
good
things
that
are
coming
with
the
fire
station.
We're
going
to
keep
our
firefighters
safe.
P
They
will
have
their
own
workout
room
right
now,
they're
there
working
in
in
a
large
area
next
to
where
the
fumes
from
the
from
the
vehicles
are
so
we're
working
to
keep
them
safe,
they'll
have
its
geothermal,
we're
just
doing
everything
right
with
it.
So
thank
you.
It's
exciting
we're
we're
very
proud
of
it,
and
I
can't
wait
to
put
that
shovel
in
the
ground.
We're.
M
P
L
P
O
O
I
looked
on
the
bid
responses,
they
said
they'd,
have
it
done
by
January
of
2020
I
sent
the
pictures
in
there
isn't
any
way
that
they'll
ever
have
this
thing
done
by
January,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
cautiously
on
this
make
sure
all
the
safeguards
are
in
place,
because
if,
if
it's
great
to
help
our
first
responders,
but
if
we
don't
see
the
thing
done
until
2023,
we've
got
a
real
issue.
So
I
just
want
to
put
that
out.

11
million,
seeing
nobody
I
wholeheartedly
support
what
you're
saying
mayor
this
much
needed
in
the
in
the
area.
It's
really
putting
a
lot
of
recep
rating
the
sewers,
but
we're
getting
at
stormwater
off
the
streets
off
of
the
lawns
out
of
the
basements.
It's
something
that
I'm
glad
to
see
we're
going
to
keep
pushing
forward
with
it.
So
I'm
going
to
move

and

Coleman.
H
Just
a
quick
note,
you
you,
you
beat
me
to
one
of
the
points
I
wanted
to
make.
This
is
a
neighborhood
improvement
concept
project.
We
talked
about
the
stormwater
solutions
that
we
did
earlier.
We
approve
the
construction
contract
for
a
new
fire
station
which
it
which
is
exciting
all
things
that
we
promised
the
voters
in
when
we
went
out
for
the
Local
Option
Sales
Tax
tonight's
agenda,
23
million
dollars
of
things
we
said
we
would
do
when
we
went
out
in
March.
You
know
I've
tried
to
say
this
at
most
meetings.
H
As
it's
been
three
million
five
million
eight
million
tonight,
it's
23
million
dollars
were
the
projects
that
we're
doing
that
that
otherwise
may
not
have
been
done
without
the
Local
Option
Sales
Tax,
so
good
work,
citizens
of
Des
Moines.
We
made
promises
and
we
kept
the
promises.
You
know
neighborhoods
in
the
neighborhoods.
This
is
this
is
another
one
that
is
like
a
park
desert
over
there
and
Joe
I.
H
The
second
thing,
I
wanted
to
say,
is
I
I
heard
you
have
this
dream
a
couple
of
years
ago
and
I
know:
you've
met
with
the
school
district.
Dozens
of
times
trying
to
pull
this
together,
I
think
it's
really
exciting
and
it's
it's
a
great
home
run
for
that
neighborhood,
a
neighborhood
that
needs
the
city
on
their
side
for
sure
and
another
way
that
Ben
page
and
his
team
just
always
set
it
out
of
the
park.
You.
M
H
M
Echo
about
our
our
Parks
Department
and
Ben,
and
working
with
Bill
good
in
the
in
the
schools.
You
know
there
was
a
lot
of
times,
I
heard
over
the
last
few
months,
that
we
don't
have
a
good
relationship
with
our
des
moines
public
school
district
and
we
don't
work
with
them
and
we
don't
do
enough
with
them.
Well,
we
do-
and
you
know,
I
I
can
go
back
to
almost
every
single
meeting
and
show
where
we're
helping
students
either
with
a
sports.
M
You
know
package
where
you're
able
to
do
different
sports
in
a
public
school,
whether
we're
gonna
have
a
park
it
you
know
in
a
park
desert
so
for
those
naysayers
out
there.
They
just
haven't
been
paying
attention,
in
my
opinion,
so
I,
thank
you
for
pointing
it
out.
I
didn't
want
to
pull
it
off
there
until
the
hearing,
but
yeah.
This
has
been
something
that
this
part
of
the
city
absolutely
needs,
and
thanks
Ben
and
your
and
your
department
for
making
it
happen.
I
will
move
six
eight.
You
know
mine,
no.

Jenni,.
V
N
Thank
You
mayor
honorable
mayor
members
of
City,
Council
Steve,
neighbor
city,
engineer
that
that's
correct.
It's
actually
because
of
the
size
of
the
the
sewer
boxes
that
are
being
installed
and
on
these
projects.
We
actually
seminaries
have
had
to
install
two
sanitary
sewer
lines,
and
so
this
is
to
add
the
design
of
those
sanitary
sewer
lines
and
also
construction
administration.
The
consultant
was
we,
it's
pretty
common
for
us
to
sometimes
hire
consultants
for
phases
of
projects
and
then
once
so,
for
example,
once
they're
conceptualized,
then
we
would
do
the
design
once
they're
designed.
N
Then
we
know
the
construction
schedule,
and
so
so
we
don't
have
them
under
contract
for
construction
phase
administration
for
them
to
answer
questions,
review
shop,
drawings
and
be
available
during
the
project
to
assist,
and
that's
just
because
you
know
again
it's
way
before
we
know
what
the
details
are
when
the
duration
is,
and
also
even
our
own
workload.
Sometimes
it's
you
know
in
this
case
we
have.
We
have
city
inspectors
that
we're
putting
out
there,
but
there
could
be
times
when
we
need
help
on
the
consulting
it
as
well.
A
O
During
that
Jenni
I
hope,
you're,
happy
and
I
do
want
to
say
one
thing:
Chris
and
I
Connie.
We
sat
in
Jenny's
front
yard
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
not
knowing
who
she
was
now
you
can
step
up
to
that
council
table
and
you're
going
by
first
name,
so
you've
made
a
lot
of
progress
Jenny.
Thank
you.
I
make
a
motion
for
item
9.
R
This
will
take
a
building
that
has
been
vacant
or
mostly
vacant
for
quite
some
time
on
a
key
corridor
and
hopefully
revitalize
it
and
create
a
beautiful,
essentially
new,
building
from
what
is
a
historic
building
that
has
seen
better
days,
and
so
that
piece
is
as
an
exciting
part
of
this.
For
those
of
you
who
follow
along
at
home,
there
was
in
the
initial
blue
letter
sort
of
an
error
in
the
computation
of
the
expected
return
on
this
project
and
and
I
know.
R
One
of
the
things
that
staff
will
work
on
in
transferring
this
from
preliminary
to
final
terms
is
a
minimum
assessment.
Piece
of
this
staff
has
talked
about,
and
I
just
wanted
to
call
that
piece
out,
because
the
initial
piece
maybe
raise
some
questions
in
terms
of
what
was
going
in
and
what
we
were
getting
on
return.
But
the
corrected
value
looks
much
better
and
the
hope
is
this
will
be
a
nice
addition
to
that
corridor.
That
will
help
revitalize
it
and
add
some
additional
vitality
there.
R
I
I
wanted
to
just
flag
this
item,
one
of
the
pieces
that
that
I've
talked
about
just
as
an
ongoing
item
is
what
we
do
with
and
how
we
enforce
low-level
drug
possession
marijuana
and
CBD.
That's
actually
gotten
a
little
bit
of
attention
recently
and
when
this
came
on
the
agenda,
I
just
had
some
questions
in
terms
of
whether
or
not
this
this
grant
would
be
used
in
that
way
because
it
was
talking
about
drug
enforcement.
R
I've
got
information
from
the
chief
that
this
is
really
targeting
violent
and
a
gun
related
crime
related
to
higher
level
drug
crime,
and
so
that
satisfied
my
question,
but
I
just
wanted
to
flag
this
as
part
of
the
ongoing
question
and
let
folks
know
because
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
folks
who
are
concerned
about
this.
I
got
a
couple
emails
related
to
to
some
of
import
enforcement
issues
related
to
low-level
possession
issues
and
wanted
to
just
flag
that
that
I've
gotten
assurances
that
this
is
not
you
being
used
for
those
purposes.
A
F
A
H
I
I
just
wanted
to
pull
this
off
again,
like
Josh
I
think
this
is
a
really
great
project.
Another
one
at
Linda's,
ward
over
by
Birdland,
I,
think
the
public-private
partnership
and
the
work
of
our
parks
board.
This
is
just
a
another
sparkling
jewel
I
think
it's
going
to
be
fantastic
and
I.
Think
the
Birdland
Tennis
Complex
is
already
great
and
I
love
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
play
multiple
sports,
their
little
pickleball
tennis
game.
P
P
A
O
Y
O
T
O
X
So
the
the
the
when
we
spoke
on
that
specific
question,
the
issue
was
when
I
met
internally,
illuminated
was
the
a
panel
sign.
You
see
that
has
like
on
a
strip
mall
that
has
a
you
know,
internally,
illuminated
sign
what
they're
proposing
here
and
I
can
have
the
the
architects
come
up
and
discuss
that
further
is
a
essentially
a
Corten
steel
like
you'd,
see
a
lot
of
the
buildings
downtown
now
court
ends
material
that
has
individually
internally
lit
letters
that
are
essentially
backlit
from
so
it's
a
very
attractive
sign.
X
It's
not
like
a
you
know,
simply
a
whole
sign
or
some
sort
of
regular
monument
sign.
You
might
see
in
our
new
development
it's
very
attractive.
It's
very
subtle,
there's
not
a
lot
of
light
emitted
from
that
and
it's
all
LED
lights.
So
it's
not
going
to
be,
you
know
displayed
in
the
neighborhood.
It
still
has
to
meet.
Obviously,
all
the
the
lighting
standards
that
the
staff
has
put
in
place
to
beauty.
So
the
the
architects
are,
that's
gonna.
You
know
satisfy
that
that
what
that
criteria
was.
X
One
sure
I
I
wasn't
aware
this
was
gonna,
be
a
question
tonight.
I
can
suck
and
show
you
what
we
have
on
the
and
the
architects
are
here
in
the
in
the
audience
that
they
may
have
an
image
with
them.
I'm
not
sure,
but
I
can
show
you
what
is
on
the
elevation
that
might
give
you
a
sense,
I
believe
this
was
shown
at
the.
X
Z
We
can't
newman
Munson
architects.
We
did
show
some
some
images
of
this
on
on
the
PUD,
but
on
the
site
plan
submittal,
we
have
some
just
basic
elevations
there,
but
much
like
Larry
was
saying
this
is
internally
lit.
It's
not
a
plastic
front.
We
have
metal
paneling
on
both
sides
of
cut
out
letters.
So
basically
the
void
of
the
sign
is
lit,
so
it's
just
the
the
light
that
is
basically
happening
inside
that
sign.
Z
That's
coming
through
those
letters
and
it's
not
directly
lit
at
those
letter
locations,
so
it
will
not
be
oh,
there
won't
be
any
glare.
You
know
that
the
signs
are
oriented
to
face
along
48th
Street
as
well,
so
they're
not
directly
facing
any
of
the
neighbors.
Oh
we've
really
worked
to
make
sure
that
none
of
this
is
going
to
be
glaring
and,
as
Larry
said,
we
have
to
abide
by
all
of
that.
I.
O
X
O
X
The
side
of
the
on
the
South
elevation
along
Franklin-
you
see
it,
says
Franklin
junior
high
on
the
South
elevation
and
I-
can
show
you
exactly
where
that's
going
to
be
on
the
building
here
in
a
second.
This
is
the
existing
monument
sign,
just
showing
Franklin
junior
high
and
then
finally,
the
the
cyanide
we
just
spoke
about.
Is
this.
This
sign
right
here
just
says:
Franklin
junior
high!
That's
all
okay!.
O
O
X
Think
the
only
question
that
I
would
have
and
I
know
the
answer
to
that
thought
my
head,
but
the
because
I
wasn't
aware
of
the
the
issue.
I
think
the
applicant
be
willing
to
work
with
the
city
on
a
specific
time,
but
I
think
the
issue.
If
the,
if
the
event
ends
it
at
10:00,
you
wouldn't
want
it.
Someone
to
just
come
out
to
a
dark
parking
lot
from
a
safe
from
a
show,
but
the
show
ends
at
10:00.
For
example
I'm.
Just
hypothetically
mm-hmm
you
come
out
to
your
car.
X
O
X
We
haven't
discussed
that
though
I
and
I
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
that.
I
think
that
you
know
if
I
put
it
to
you
this
way.
Staff
has
the
authority.
If
this
sign
doesn't
meet
the
standards
they've
set
forth
that
you
know
they
can
address
that
going
forward.
So
what
I
everything
that
I've
been
told
and
shown
by
the
architects
and
by
the
client
is
that
the
the
sign
is
going
to
be
something
that's
going
to
fit
with
the
existing
building?
It's
not
going
to
be
obtrusive,
it's
not
glaring.
O

A
current
sidewalk
on
the
west
side
of
a
49
there
was
a
discussion
about
whether
it
should
be
one
added
on
our
side
of
the
site
on
the
east
side
of
49th,
but
there's
our
current
hedges
there.
That
would
have
to
be
basically
ripped
out
and
would
harm
the
privacy
of
the
neighbors
that
then
live
on
the
west
side
of
49th.
So
instead,
what
was
discussed
was
putting
in
a
trunk
truncated,
dome,
sort
of
transition
that
would
cross
49th
along
for
Franklin
Avenue,
I
I.
P
Have
a
little
bit
of
a
problem
without
the
sidewalks,
you
know
we're
dealing
with
that.
No
Steve
neighbor
we've
been
dealing
with
some
sidewalks
in
Ward
2
and
you
know
they
want
to
put
in
five-foot
sidewalks
and
the
neighbors
aren't
very
happy
with
that.
You
know
and
we're
trying
to
put
sidewalks
all
around
school
routes,
and
then
we
have
this
huge
site
and
when
we're
allowing
them
to
not
put
in
sidewalks
and
I
I,
don't
think
I
can
support
that.
V
Q
K
That
was
ingenious,
Landscape
Architects
I'll
offer
an
exhibit
here
that
helps
illustrate
the
site
context
a
little
bit.
So
this
is
viewing
north
on
49th.
The
sidewalk
in
question
is
along
here,
so
you
can
see
viewing
north.
We
have
a
300
foot
long
grow
a
burning
bush.
In
order
to
put
a
sidewalk
there.
We
would
have
to
cut
those
burning
bush
effectively
in
half
or
remove
those
or
put
the
sidewalk
immediately
adjacent
to
the
curb
and
be
narrower
than
the
city's
required
by
foot
walk.
K
So
what
we're
proposing
is
to
improve
the
crosswalk
here
you
can
see,
there's
no
painted
lines
for
crosswalk
and
two
on
the
west
side.
There
is
not
a
ad
a
accessible
curb
ramp,
so
we're
proposing
to
put
a
curb
ramp
in
that's
compliant
and
move
pedestrians
along
the
existing
sidewalk
under
the
mature
trees
and
add
trees
in
that
right-of-way.
So
really
effectively.
We
can
add
screening
on
the
east
to
the
cars
and
route
people
on
what
we
feel
is
the
safest
pedestrian
route,
which
is
the
west
side
of
the
street
and.

A
Six
item
51
item
51
are
items
regarding
amendments,
the
zoning
ordinance
as
the
final
consideration.
The
amendments
to
the
zoning
ordinance
be
is
the
final
consideration.
Amendments
to
the
planning
and
design
ordinance
in
C
is
the
final
consideration
of
the
amendments
to
the
citywide
zoning
map.
Mr.
Coleman.
H
A
week
ago,
we
met
in
a
special
meeting
so
that
this
could
get
to
the
finish
line
on
my
watch.
While
it
was
here,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
the
council
for
that.
There
are
a
hundred
people
in
the
room
that
worked
for
the
city
that
deserve
a
lot
of
credit
for
the
original
zoning
code,
and
these
fixes
that
we
wanted
to
have
happen.
Scott.
Your
leadership
on
this
was
really
important.
There
are
a
couple
of
things
that
I
wish
could
have
gotten
done
and
I
hope.
H
The
council
takes
up
a
common-sense
way
to
to
expand
the
rights
of
air
B&B
in
with
with
regulations
and
Board
of
Adjustment
overview,
but
other
than
that
I
I
think
I.
Think
all
of
us
had
a
list.
That
was
like
a
hundred
things
long,
that
we
were
worried
about
or
needed,
written,
more
clarity
or
understanding
or
just
to
change
and
I
think
other
than
that
little
issue
on
the
air
BnB.
H
All
of
the
things
on
my
list
and
I
think
most
people's
list
got
done
between
what
we
did
and
early
November
and
what
we're
doing
tonight.
So
legal
team
manager
team,
all
of
community
development,
Jeff
I,
know
your
your
team
did
a
ton
of
heavy
lifting
on
trying
to
make
sure
this
all
works
and
heck
just
to
figure
out
how
and
what
to
delete
from
the
old
code
was
a
year
long
process.
So
thank
you
for
that.
H
This
is
really
good
and,
as
you
can
see,
all
the
people
that
were
honest
to
you
know
change
this
and
wanted
to
call
us
names.
They
all
want
time
to
speak
tonight.
They'll
all
be
here
congratulating
us
on
getting
this
right.
That's
sarcasm
because
as
soon
as
people
get
what
they
want,
they
forget
us.
You
know
you'll
forget
me
tomorrow
morning.
H
H
M
H
H
Think
the
missing
middle
should
be
should
be
highly
incentivized
compared
to
other
kinds
of
building
types
in
in
the
community,
and
now
that
we
have
a
form
based
code,
it's
easier
to
kind
of
say
these
are
the
kinds
of
housing
types
that
we
want
to
incentivize
as
opposed
to
others,
so
that
that'll
be
big
work
for
the
council
and
the
first
quarter.
I
think.
A
Item
53,
it's
on
the
men
in
chapter
42,
the
Mizpah
code
regarding
noise,
ordinance,
palace
communication,
number,
19,
527,
Hays.
The
final
consideration,
the
ordinance
above
the
waiver
is
requested
by
the
Community
Development
Director
and
acquires
six
votes,
we'll
go
ahead
and
put
it
up
and
see.
It
looks
like
we
have
a
young
man
here
that
would
like
to
speak.
Y
So
thank
you,
Chris
I'm,
proud
to
be
not
just
your
constituent
but
a
friend
and
associated
with
a
great
Coleman
family.
So
thank
you
all
the
amendment.
First
of
all,
let
me
just
say
we
are
very
appreciative.
The
staff
sue
Ian
candy
officers,
true
through
the
work
to
get
the
sound
ordinance
right,
not
just
with
many
different
venues.
Y
We
think
that,
based
on
the
the
work
session,
we
were
really
pleased
with
the
direction
it
was
going.
We
were
under
the
impression
that
we'd
get
to
see
it
before
it
came
before
you
so
that
we
could
make
any
little
final
tweaks
I
think
we're
getting
in
the
right
direction,
but,
as
I
was
quickly
texting
out
to
all
those
other
groups
to
make
sure
we
got
this
right,
they
were
a
little
concerned
waving
the
Second
Amendment.
Before
we
got
a
chance
to
respond
to
it.
Y
Each
venue
has
a
little
bit
different
thing
and
I
think
there
are
minor
tweaks,
but
I
think
there
are
some
questions
that
they
have.
So
we
would
just
ask
that
you,
whatever
action
you
take
that
you
don't
waive
that.
Second
or
you
don't
waive
the
second
reading
until
we've
had
a
chance
to
work
out
through
some
of
those
questions
with
the
city
staff,
I
think.
Y
Y
L
R
Excuse
me
and
I'm
happy
to
move
it.
You
know
one
of
these
things
and
I.
Don't
know
that
I
was
fully
satisfied
with
where
we
got
during
the
work
session,
but
these
type
of
issues
are
works
in
progress
in
a
balance
and
I
think
this
is
it's
kind
of
a
we'll
keep
trying
it
to
get
the
right
balance.
I
think
what's
reflected
here
is
the
compromise
that
came
out
of
the
work
session.
R
A
piece
of
that
that
I'm
hopeful
for
is
that
it's
gonna
help
us
collect
data
a
little
bit
better
so
that
we
understand
what's
going
on
and
can
respond
to
neighbor
concerns
with
data
a
little
better
than
we
have
been
in
the
past.
But
my
hope
is
that
we
will
continue
to
be
working
on
getting
that
balance
right
and
listening
to
to
neighbor
concerns
as
this
process
moves
forward
and
I
really
appreciate
all
the
work.
That's
gone
into.
Trying
to
understand,
understand
that
you
think
this
through.
A
Item
54,
these
items
related
to
boards
and
commissions
council
communication,
room
number
19,
558
a
is
amending
chapter
two
of
the
Municipal
Code
eliminating
the
Des
Moines
Music
Commission
B
is
amending
section
2
dashed
1046
the
Municipal
Code
relating
to
boards,
Commission's
committees
and
agencies
relating
to
the
appointment
of
members
and
qualifications.
C
is
amending
chapter
42,
304
and
42
305
of
the
misspoke
code
by
removing
the
citizen's
odor
board
and
by
striking
reference
to
the
citizen,
odor
board,
let's
open
it
up,
item
54
related
to
boards
and
commissions.
L
T
A
M
54C,
if
we're
going
to
eliminate
that
board,
I
would
like
to
direct
the
manager's
office
and
staff
to
find
out
who
is
not
using
the
best
practices
and
to
make
it
mandatory
that
we
do
require
them
to
use
the
best
practices,
because
somebody
and
I'm
sure
we
probably
know
who
it
is
is
not
doing
that.
That's
why
we
have
an
odor
and
it
needs
to
be
corrected.
I.
A
P
And
I'd
just
like
to
add
to
that
and
I
know:
I
had
asked
quite
a
few
questions
on
our
question
list
earlier
about
this,
but
I
think
that
we
have
to
I
would
like
us.
I
would
like
to
see
us
work
more
closely
with
Polk
County.
It
says
Polk
County
measures
the
air
quality,
but
they're,
not
necessarily
measuring
odor.
Could
we
maybe
have
more
information
on
that?
I
mean
I'd
like
to
know
if
there,
if
there
is
a
company
or
a
business,
that
is
not
meeting
the
standards
of
the
air
quality?
P
How
does
that
relate
to
the
odor
and
I
know?
A
few
years
ago
I
had
a
meeting
and
we
had
a
roomful
of
people,
but
we
had
that
State
Health,
Department
and
Polk
County,
and
they
gave
us
a
really
good
overview
of
what's
happening,
but
we
know
that
we
still
are
faced
with
odors
and
we
can't
seem
to
determine
where
they're
coming
I.
M
A
Well,
and
how
do
you
measure
it
in
because
you
can't
measure
it?
How
do
you
manage
it
and
who
is
it
that
is
setting
the
standards
for
that,
because
that
reading
through
that
code
at
the
state
level,
is
a
little
bit
troublesome
in
very
vague?
And
you
know
we
had
a
question
that
long
ago
about
clean
water
act
and
how
do
we,
you
know
enforce?
A
That
seemed
like
there
was
a
lot
of
stuff
in
our
water
that
was
coming
down
the
watershed,
and
that
was
pollutants,
but
there
nobody
apparently
has
the
responsibility
or
the
authority
to
regulate
water,
which
I
found
absolutely
amazing,
and
especially
in
rural
areas.
So
I
love
to
get
as
much
information
back
from
legal
as
possible
about
what
possibly
we
can
do
about
order
and
see
what
we
can
do
about
cleaning
it
up
and.
P
E
U
M
Were
set
out
because
we
have
a
strong
odor,
particularly
the
n-word,
for
in
the
East
Village,
and
we're
going
to
have
councilman
on
the
14th.
That's
gonna
sit
somewhere
up
here
that
lives
in
Ward
4
in
downtown.
It
probably
smells
it
more
than
all
of
us.
I
would
think
that
we're
gonna
need
to
figure
out
which
I
think
we
already
know
where
this
is
coming
from
and
they
need
to
be
having
doing
the
best
practices
and
I
know
we
require
them
to
do
the
best
practices
I
know
legally.
We
already
require
them.
M
R
I
I
agree,
particularly
with
what
Joe
was
saying:
I
I
do
think
that
there
are
best
practices
that
might
not
be
in
place
that
we
should
be
looking
at
that
will
address
some
of
these
air
quality
concerns,
including
technologies
that
that
are
applied
elsewhere.
That
potentially
could
be
applied
here.
That
would
improve
the
improve
the
situation
and
that
that's
what
the
the
board
is
designed
to
do.
I
wanted
to
address
a
couple
of
the
other
pieces.
I
know
in
the
work
session.
R
I
wasn't
convinced
that
the
Des
Moines
Music
Commission
couldn't
be
repurposed
and
that
there
still
might
not
be
value
there.
So
I
appreciate
voting
on
these
items
separately.
I
know:
we've
accomplished
a
lot
in
terms
of
the
success
we've
had
in
building
our
our
music
scene
in
Des,
Moines,
but
I
think
that's
one
of
those
things
that
is
constantly
dynamic
and
that
we
could
we
could
use
citizen
input
and
perhaps
reconstitute
something
like
that.
R
But
I
understand
if
my
position
on
that
is
the
minority,
the
other
piece
that
I
would
like
us
to
consider
I
think
we
are
just
adding,
as
drafted
54
B
only
addresses
the
the
Park
Board
I
would
be
interested
minimally
in
the
boards
that
don't
have
professional
qualifications,
adding
gender
balance
to
those
boards,
which
would
be
I,
think
the
access
advisory
board,
the
housing
appeal
board
and
maybe
the
neighborhood
revitalization
board
board.
Those
all
seem
like
good
candidates
to
me
for
gender
balance.
R
While
we
are
doing
this,
the
others,
while
it
may
be
possible
I
think
there
would
be
additional
considerations
that
we
would
need
to
make
because
there's
an
added
layer
of
complexity
when
you
have
the
layers
of
professional
requirements
that
some
of
those
boards
have
and
just
you're,
already
picking
from
a
very
small
pool
with
some
of
those
professional
requirements.
So
there
I
make
an
exception,
but
I'd
be
interested
in
in
seeing
those
three
boards
added
from
a
gender
balance
perspective.
I.
P
Am
NOT
in
in
favor
of
that
and
I
had
a
long
discussion
with
our
city
manager
about
this
last
night
and
I
see
some
of
my
questions
that
I
put
in
there
really
didn't
get
in
here.
Somebody
must
have
taken
them
out,
but
I'm
all
for
gender
balance,
but
in
Ward
2
we
may
have
a
different
population
than
what
other
parts
of
the
city
half
and
it
rubs
me
the
wrong
way.
That
and
Josh
I
know
that
you've
objected
to
some
of
my
appointments.
P
P
The
historic
preservation
they're
telling
me
has
to
be
gender
balanced,
I,
don't
have
a
woman
in
Ward,
2
and
I'm
not
going
to
appoint
somebody
that
doesn't
live
in
my
ward.
You
know
that
needs
to
be
an
architect
or
you
know
there
are
several
professions
that
that
person
needs
to
be,
and
we
simply
don't
have
it
so
do
I.
Leave
the
board.
Do
I,
leave
it
vacant
I.
Don't
think
that
that's
fair
to
the
residents
of
Ward,
2
I
think
we
need
to
get
these
filled.
P
Yes,
I'm
gonna
do
my
very
best
to
put
the
best
person
in
the
on
the
board
at
Commission,
but
sometimes
that's
not
possible.
The
Historic
Preservation
I
can
leave
it
vacant
or
I
can
appoint
a
woman
that
is
not
an
architect
and
doesn't
meet
those
professions
so
which,
which
way
do
we
want?
Because
we're
not
going
to
have
it
both
ways?
P
R
Perfectly
fine
and
the
boards
that
I
did
not
suggest
I,
don't
think
that
there
are
those
professional
requirements
for
the
access,
Advisory
Board
or
for
the
housing
appeal
board
for
the
neighborhood
revitalization
board.
There
are
ones
that
I
did
not
specifically
address
or
ones
where
I
think
the
professional
requirement
question
is
worth
raising
and
that's
urban
design
review
board
building
in
fire
code,
Board
of
Appeals
and.
I
R
We
need
to
revisit
some
of
the
professional
requirements
on
the
historic
preservation,
because
the
way,
the
way
we
do
that
I
think
we've
been
pretty
loose
with
the
way
we've
done.
That
and
actually
half
of
the
people
who've
been
appointed
to
the
Historic
Preservation
Commission
probably
will
violate
the
the
changes
that
we're
making
for
some
of
the
other
qualifications.
Well,.
P
R
The
Historic
Preservation
Commission
is
one
where
there
are
certain,
and
this
is
where
maybe
requires
a
little
cooperation
among
the
council
but
they're
the
requirements
that
we
have
are
for
the
Commission
as
a
whole,
and
perhaps,
if
there's
a
question
about
not
having
someone
with
a
certain
professional
background,
when
there
are
multiple
vacancies
open,
we
can
work
and
figure.
Those
things
out.
I
mean
that
that's
all
it
requires
I.
Just
think
we
need
for
something
like
that
and
the
Historic
Preservation
Commission
I.
R
R
R
Right,
I
I
would
absolutely
support
that.
The
piece
that
I
would
like
to
see
us
do
is
for
the
boards,
where
you
know
the
access
advisory
board
is
not
one
that
requires
any
any
special
considerations
or
qualifications,
and
that
is
one
where
a
diverse
range
of
voices
make
sense
and
I
think
every
Ward
should
be
able
to
find
someone
that
can
fit
I
along
those
lines.
So
that's
why
I
was
trying
to
pick
ones
where
there's
consensus
recognizing.
R
Just
the
folks
who
applied
so
that
we
could
have
all
those
voices
at
the
table
and
I
think
that's
something
that
the
City
Clerk's
office
could
help
us
with
and
I've
struggled
with.
Some
of
it.
On
my
own
I've
tried
to
balance
my
urban
design
review
appointments
and
one
of
the
things
I've
struggled
with
I
need
to
appoint
a
landscape,
architect
and
I
need
to
find,
because
my
other
appointment
has
been
mail.
R
I
need
to
find
a
woman
landscape
architect
in
Des
Moines,
there's
not
an
abundance
of
those
folks
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
sure.
If
we
spent
some
time
or
get
help,
we
could
find
a
list
and
then
go
through
that
list
and
see
if
any
of
those
folks
are
willing
to
serve
regardless
of
where
they
live
in
Des
Moines
and
accomplish
that
so
that's
my
holder,
so.
L
C
Q
Now,
I'm
just
going
to
say
it
cuz,
we,
this
has
been
brought
up
numerous
times
by
mr.
Mandelbaum
and
so
I
don't
have
a
problem
supporting
those
three
that
you
want
to
do.
I
do
think.
We
still
need
another
session
to
review
some
of
the
boards
and
commissions
that
we
have
have.
They
just
been
here
because
they've
been
here
which
I
believe
they
are
and
what
purpose
are
they
serving
and
are
there
some
other
ones
that
we
should
have
that
we
could
change
the
dynamics
of
the
city
in
a
different
way,
I
support?
Q
But
what
is
the
purpose
on
some
of
these
hard-to-fill
ones
that
you
have
to
have
technical
people
or,
and
a
lot
of
them
are
being
filled
by
people
that
really
don't
live
in
Des,
Moines
and
I.
Appreciate
that,
because
they're
hard
to
find
I
think
we
need
a
serious
review.
What
by
law
we
have
to
have,
and
what
is
the
purpose
they're
serving
so
I
would
support
adding
those
three.
P
H
Want
to
go
back
to
it,
what
Joe
said
and
Mayor
if
I
could
make
a
quick
comment,
I'm
for
all
three
of
them
on
be
especially
I'm
for
it,
because
I
think
we
can
make
incremental
progress.
This
is
progress,
a
lot
of
ideas
that
you've
brought
forward
and
I
think
we
can
bring
it
back
and
go
to
the
next
step.
H
H
We
started
something
we
ignited
something
now
the
private
sector
and
nonprofit
has
taken
that
over
and
doing
great
things,
and
it's
it's
probably
the
most
impressive
board
of
young
people
that
exists
in
in
in
the
city
so
because
they're
so
strong
I
feel
like
we're,
duplicating
efforts
and
we're
okay
doing
number
one
see
on
the
odor
board.
I
was
actually
looking
for
something
else
that
I'll
give
you,
but
I
was
going
through
agendas
when
I
first
started.
H
So
it's
not
like
I
remembered
this,
but
one
of
one
of
the
things
that
we
did
in
August
of
98
I
made
the
motion
was
to
say
the
odor
board
just
isn't
working,
we
want
to
refer
it
and
we
did
a
survey
and
we
did
some
other
things.
I'll
pass
this
around
just
because
I
think
it's
funny
that
this
is
one
of
my
first
meetings
in
98
and
my
last
meeting
we're
back
to
square
one.
H
H
It's
but
but
it's
easy
for
us
to
say:
well,
we
have
an
odor
board
right.
Well,
let's
face
the
facts:
that's
that's
been
a
crutch
and
we
just
need
to
create
a
closer
line
of
authority
just
to
the
council,
and
so
by
approving
see
that
does
that.
So,
if
it's
okay,
mayor
I,
would
you
ask
to
move
them
one
at
a
time.
R
P
An
in
preparation
for
that
four
years
ago,
the
city
clerk
would
send
a
solicitous.
We
had
terms
that
were
expiring,
but
it
it
showed
everybody's
who
they
appointed
them
when
their
term
expired
and
what
their
qualifications
work.
I,
don't
see
that
anymore
I
mean
and
it
used
to
be
online,
so
you
could
actually
go
online
and
see
it.
And
now
all
it
does
is
give
you
the
members,
but
it
doesn't
give
you
any
details
and
I.
Don't
know
why
that
has
changed
their
new
website.
Pardon.
AA
Q
P
Q
C
I
M
J
S
R
M
Would
be
a
crispy,
don't
might
not
I'm
gonna
waive
the
second
and
third
reading,
but
I.
Don't
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
directing
your
staff
and
legal
specifically
and
C
to
do
to
find
out
it's
not
doing
the
best
practices
and
make
sure
they
are
and
what
are
legally.
We
can
do
and
then
we're
gonna
schedule
a
workshop
to
talk
about
the
other
three
boards
that
job
requirements
yeah
the
Josh
talking
about
and
the
professional
requirements
you
good
with
that.
Mr.
mayor
yep,.
A
Fine:
okay,
now
we're
255,
cementing
chapter
74
of
the
Municipal
Code
regarding
changes
to
the
golf
fees
and
the
addition
of
Terrace
Hills
Golf
Course,
now
owned
by
the
city
of
Altoona.
To
the
golf
course
eligible
golf
course
is
eligible
for
the
use
by
annual
badge
holders
counts.
Communication
number
19,
529.
M
A
H
A
wide
variety
of
issues,
actually
credit
Josh
just
said
sometime.
You
should
share
that
stuff
with
us
before
you
should
go
out,
liquor
license
and
there's
a
number
of
things
that
I
wanted
to
just
get
out
there.
That
I
feel
like
I've,
played
a
role
in
and
I'll
try
and
do
this
quickly,
but
but
I
would
appreciate
it.
The
first
thing
that's
coming
around
and
I'll
I'll
put
this
on.
The
green
is
it
is,
it
has
to
do
with
liquor,
license
people
seeing
it.
H
H
I
think
places
that
operate
into
the
evening
with
one
employee
should
not
be
allowed
to
have
a
liquor
license,
and
so
I've
used
my
vote
to
oppose
any
where
a
single
person
works
and
they
have
a
liquor
license.
Unfortunately,
many
of
the
things
that
I've
suggested
over
time
are
to
crack
down
on
liquor,
license
I'm.
H
Looking
I
was
looking
at
my
daughter
Maggie,
because
she
knows
there's
a
couple
operators
in
downtown
that
I
don't
like
she
thinks
they're
nice
places
they
they
probably
are,
but
but
it
but
but
we've
played
games
with
many
of
our
regulations
with
a
lot
of
people
and
they're
a
lot
of
operators
and,
and
so
what
I
passed
out
to
you
is
I.
Had
the
chance
to
represent
Des
Moines
last
fall
over
several
meetings
with
the
Iowa
liquor
board:
I,
don't
what
they
have
a
formal
name,
but.
H
One
of
the
weaknesses
of
what
we've
done
is
we've
had
some
really
bad
operators
that
we
can't
punish
because
they
can
always
appeal
to
the
state
and
the
state
has
a
history
of
being
very
true
to
the
regulations
and
laws
of
the
state,
which
means
the
regulations
and
laws
of
the
state
have
to
change,
to
empower
local
officials
like
yourself
to
monitor
it
and
there's
a
number
of
things
that
I
could
tell
you
one
of
the
things
that
we
fixed.
That
was
a
problem.
Is
we
have
a
lot
of
restaurants?
H
H
The
definition
of
a
restaurant
really
is
that
they
get
more
than
half
of
their
proceeds
from
you
know
not
the
sale
of
alcohol,
but
we've
had
operators
that
have
sold
a
gin
and
tonic
as
two
different
items.
You
know
a
dollar
for
the
gin
and
three
dollars
for
the
tonic
and
even
in
their
drinks,
they
are
out
of
compliance.
H
That
would
give
us
more
control
in
terms
of
ours,
for
instance
right
now,
if
you're,
a
restaurant
or
a
non
restaurant,
you
have
all
the
rights
that
anybody
else
does,
but
if
the
reason
why
the
Zoning
Board
of
Adjustment
is
letting
somebody
be
a
restaurant
is
because
they're
in
a
sensitive
neighborhood,
we
should
be
able
to
say
you
can't
operate
until
you
know
after
midnight
or
after
11
o'clock.
We
should
we
should
have
the
wherewithal,
if
we're
the
one
granting
the
license.
H
We
should
have
the
wherewithal
to
be
able
to
restrict
that
I
I
think
that
a
restaurant
shouldn't
be
a
restaurant
again
they're,
usually
in
sensitive
areas,
if
their
bar
is
open,
but
you
can't
order
food
after
so
long.
You
know
someplace,
that's
a
restaurant,
that's
open
for
lunch
with
food,
but
at
night
you
can't
order.
Anything
is,
is
skirting
the
rules,
I
think,
and
it's
been
a
slippery
slope.
H
All
of
us
can
think
of
issues
that
have
happened
in
our
own
neighborhoods,
where
a
liquor
establishment
went
downhill,
attracted
a
bad
crowd
created
problems
not
far
from
my
house.
We
had
two
shootings,
but
it's
happened
to
all
over
the
city
and
I.
Think
controlling
liquor
license
is
the
the
best
way
to
deal
with
the
worst
problem,
and
so
in
Jeff's.
H
AA
H
I
would
if,
if
you'd
allow
I'd
like
to
receive
and
file
this
memo
in
in
series
of
documents,
I'd
like
to
refer
this
issue
to
the
council,
people
that
gather
on
legislative
issues
and
to
take
it
up
at
that
legislative
committee
meetings
and
and
to
reengage
Mac
in
terms
of
legislation-
and
we
did
talk
about
this
at
the
back
meeting
last
week
and
at
their
legislative
deal
and
the
is
on
their
list.
So
I'm,
proud
of
that.
H
We
got
that
done
last
week,
but
I
think
the
city
should
make
this
a
priority
and
I
think
our
neighborhoods
suffer
when
we
have
bad
operators
and
there's
ideas
in
here
from
other
states.
I
included
a
couple
other
or
from
other
cities
around
Iowa
about
the
definition
of
good
moral
character
and
other
things.
We
could
have
much
stronger
rules
and
protect
our
citizens
from
bad
operators,
and
you
know
you
and
I
were
arm-in-arm
over
a
couple
that
were
in
your
that
we're
in
your
neighborhood
on
on
Indianola
Road.
H
M
It's
all
over
there,
we've
got
an
additional
I
mean
it's
actually
in
Josh's
word:
1101,
Army,
Post,
you've
got
it
circled
here,
I'm
sure
he
has
heard
a
ton
of
complaints
about
it
and
I've
builded
my
fair
share
of
them.
You
know
it's,
it's
it's
problematic
and
it's
unfortunate
where
we
can
tell
the
residents
yeah
we're
gonna
grant
them
a
liquor
license,
because
we
don't
have
really
any
other
choice
right.
C
M
I
think
that's
I
think
that's
a
great
idea
to
work
with
our
legislators
and
and
see,
maybe
if
we
can
get
Home
Rule
back
and
and
give
us
a
little
bit,
because
our
des
moines
PD
knows
better
than
anyone
where
the
problem
areas
are
better
than
anyone
else
better
than
everyone
at
the
golden
dome
better
than
anyone
else.
So
I
think
that
that's
that
should
be
information
enough
for
to
allow
us
to
make
those
decisions.
U
T
H
H
All
right,
my
second
thing
is
an
issue
regarding
bikes.
I
was
surprised
at
the
level
of
dialogue
during
the
last
political
campaign,
about
bikes
and
bike
lanes
and
bike
trails
and
people's
frustration
and
I
had
this
idea,
Oh,
probably
in
September,
but
I
thought
it
would
be
a
lightning
rod
during
the
campaign
and
then
when
there
was
a
bunch
of
run,
offs
I
couldn't
bring
it
up
before
now,
but
I
I
think
for
a
lot
of
reasons.
H
It's
worth
the
city
considering
bike,
license
bike
permits
and-
and
let
me
first
tell
you
besides
Des
Moines,
two
of
the
three
largest
cities
and
Iowa-
have
them
and
many
more
do
as
well.
They.
H
Davenport
and
Cedar
Rapids
Iowa
City
does
too,
which
I
think
is
like
number
five,
some
of
them.
Some
of
them
are
free.
Some
of
them
are
more
expensive,
but
last
forever
not
a
year
there
they're
voluntary.
Nobody,
you
know,
goes
to
jail
for
not
registering
it,
but
in
in
those
communities
in
Des,
Moines
I
think
it
could
do
a
couple
really
obvious
things.
One
is.
It
gives
the
police
crime-fighting
tool
and
and
two
it
creates
critical
revenue
for
us
to
continue
to
maintain
all
the
bike
facilities
now
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
in
some
dream
world.
H
It's
not
going
to
generate
that
much
money
to
repair
all
of
our
works,
but
the
criticism
has
been
that
we're
doing
so
much
for
bikes
and
they're,
not
paying
for
anything
and
I.
Think
from
a
political
standpoint.
This
is
a
really
compelling
way
to
go
forward.
I
think
where
we
can
say
to
people.
We've
started
this
they're,
paying
they're
paying
for
permit
it's
helping
us
fight
crime,
easier,
we're
saving
money
there
and
I
think
politically.
H
H
You
know
pro
bike
and
thinking
about
a
way
where
we
coexist
better
and
I
think
it
Trump's
the
argument
that
you
hear
most
often,
which
is
and
they're
not
even
paying
a
darn
thing
and
I
think
I,
think
they're,
I
think
I
think
it
could
be
worth
it
I'm
not
going
to
be
here
to
implement
it.
I
will
say
one
other
thing
about
it.
When
I
was
a
kid
we
had
bike
permits,
it
wasn't
a
punishment
to
go,
get
a
bike
permit.
It
was
like
the
greatest
day
of
the
year.
H
H
H
Don't
know
how
it
could
happen,
but
I
think
it's
I
think,
especially
after
the
dialogue
in
the
political
campaigns.
There
was
no
really
uniting
two
different
camps
and
visions
for
our
city
on
that
and
I
think
we
have
to
find
a
way
to
unite
it
and
I
think
this
might
be
one
and
I
wanted
to
bring
it
up
and
voice
it,
because
I
think
it
I
think
it
could
be
a
positive
step
forward.
H
Let
me
also
say
I,
you
know,
Joe
is
gonna,
be
chair
of
the
MPO
I
think
it
could
be
a
regional
deal
where
the
MPO,
maybe
we
could
talk
to
them,
about
managing
it
and
if
our
city
clerk
or
we
sold
one
somewhere
else,
you
know,
maybe
we
get
a
dollar
for
selling
it,
but
they
get
$4.
For
you
know
managing
the
program
or
something,
and
the
database
then
is
shared
between
cities
and
police
departments.
H
R
R
R
You
know
if
a
registry
can
be
a
useful
tool
in
recovering
stolen
property
and
creating
a
voluntary
registry
and
creating
that
level
of
awareness,
I
think
there's,
there's
value
there.
I
also
worry,
knowing
that
this
is
one
of
those
things
where
to
justify
the
administrative
costs.
You
know,
there's
a
cost
to
implementing
a
program
like
this
and
I.
Don't
know
that
we
could
ever
have
a
fee.
R
H
M
Just
just
to
add
to
that
comment:
you
know
we
we
license
our
dog,
we
have
a.
We
have
a
dog
park.
We
make
sure
that
they
have
to
pay
to
use
the
dog
park.
This
is
an
ongoing
issue
that
I
hear
every
single
neighborhood
meeting
that
I
go
to
when
we
start
talking
about
bike
lanes-
and
we
start
talking
about
this.
Well,
they
don't
pay
for
anything.
They
don't
do
anything
I've
heard
from
legislators,
I've
heard
from
local
senator
you.
G
M
A
way
it
like
Chris
said
really
to
bring
people
together
where
we
can
say
well
yeah
they
do.
They
do
actually
pay
because
a
lot
of
the
folks
don't
pay
property
taxes
Josh
they
live
in
an
apartment
or
they
live
in
a
rental.
So
they're
not
paying
the
property
tax
to
the
City
of
Des
Moines.
Now
their
rent
possibly
could
be,
but
they're,
not
the
owner
of
the
property,
so
I
mean
we're
just
asking
in
in
work.
M
We
can
sit
here
and
debate
it
all
all
we
want,
but
I
mean
there's
pros
and
cons
to
it.
I
agree
with
you
100%.
You
had
some
very
valid
points,
but
let's
not
forget
that
we
we
license
dogs
to
use
a
dog
park
that
we
bought
and
paid
for
with
tax
dollars
and
we
go
ahead
and
we
make
them
pay
extra
money
for
that
dog
park.
So
just
you
know
it's
not
like.
It
doesn't
happen
in
the
City
of
Des
Moines
to
use
an
amenity
that
we
offer.
M
So
just
just
to
that
point,
it's
just
something
politically.
When
I
don't
know,
maybe
it's
on
different
sides
of
town,
maybe
on
your
side
of
town
you're,
not
hearing
the
same
complaints
that
I'm
hearing
but
I
hear
it
constantly,
and
so
that's
just
my
two
cents
worth
probably
worth
about
two
cents.
It's.
H
H
I
want
them:
I,
I,
I
love
our
trails,
I
love
our
bikes,
but
every
time
we've
dealt
with
this
every
project
has
been
has
been,
you
know,
filled
with
lightning
and
thunder
and
and
I'm
just
trying
to
find
some
ways
to
throw
out
some
ideas
and
challenge.
You
guys
refer
to
the
manager
to
to
think
about
and
see
how
it's
worked
in
other
communities
and
see
if
it
might
be
something
that
can
happen
here
and.
M
Just
one
added
thing:
the
people
that
live
right
bikes
are
very
local.
The
people
that
don't
like
bikes
aren't
that
vocal
until
you
get
sit
down
in
a
small
neighborhood
meeting
with
them
and
they
get
upset
because
they're
paid
where
the
biking
in
the
biking
community
will
fill
this
room
full
of
200
people,
and
we
think
that
that
speaks
for
the
other
200,000
people
that
live
in
the
city.
Well,.
R
It's
both
sides
and
one
thing:
I'll
know
you
know
when
we
talk
about
the
bike
infrastructure.
Some
of
why
we
have
so
much
space
for
bike
lanes
is
because
we've
spent
generations
over
building
our
roads,
and
we
create
more
that
we
have
to
maintain
when
we
do
that,
and
we
can
actually
save
money
by
right
sizing
those
roads.
We
can
make
those
roads
safer
by
doing
that,
and
then
we've
got
that
extra
space
which
you
can
actually
provide
some
additional
value
by
turning
it
into
a
bike
lane
I
agree.
R
We
need
to
help
bring
people
together
and
part
of
that
is.
We
need
to
tell
the
story
better
right
and
educate
folks,
because
I
get
folks,
I
mean
I,
get
people
who
don't
like
the
bike
lanes
to
and
part
of
our
job
as
people
serving
the
city.
You
know
we
get.
We
get
a
broader
range
of
information
and
perspective.
R
We
learn
about
how
it's
not
just
you
know:
it's
not
just
an
investment
in
a
bike
lane
part
of
why
we
can
do
it
is
because
maybe
we
over
built
that
road
in
the
first
place
and
we're
trying
to
make
a
safer
design,
so
we
have
less
accidents
and
less
fatalities
on
our
roads
and
oh
by
the
way,
we've
got
some
extra
space.
So
we
can
create
a
bike
lane
and
an
amenity
that
maybe
a
little
bit
better
and
that
that
roadway
worked
a
little
better
for
everyone
and
those
are
important
pieces
to
it.
O
That
does
not
sit
well
with
me
and
I
see
you
guys,
look
in
your
eyes
and
when
I
would
hope,
I
wouldn't
be
sitting
here.
If
I
hadn't
made
a
decision
like
that,
so
we
do
need
the
conversation.
We
need
to
understand
where
our
money
is
going
and
how
it
can
be
treated.
So
the
people
get
the
benefit
of
boat
I.
Don't
want
to
leave
anybody
hanging
out
there.
So
thank
you
guys
for
showing
up.
H
That
the
next
thing
that
I
had
and
I
did
create
a
list
of
these
I'm.
Sorry,
just
so
you
kind
of
know
where
I
am
in
my
list
so
because
I
didn't
want
you
to
be
surprised.
The
next
one
is
about
homelessness,
and
this
is
probably
the
area
that
I
leave
feeling
like
there's
still
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done
and
I've
been
lucky
to
be
in
the
middle
of
it.
H
We
we
hired
a
group
that
was
somehow
associated
with
DC
and
new
HUD
rules
to
write
a
plan
that
plan
I
think
is
still
on
our
website.
I
have
it
here.
It's
dated
2009
and
the
reason
I
mentioned,
that
is
over
the
last
10
years.
We
have
made
such
great
progress
on
the
items
in
there,
not
long
after
that.
We
recognized
that
we
needed
a
new
shelter
downtown
and
the
homeless
Coordinating
Council
was
formed.
H
H
H
We
moved
it
back
down
to
mulberry
and
we've
been
on
a
really
good
run
since
it,
since
it
opened
I,
think
in
2011
and
I'm
really
proud
of
that.
This
homeless
issue
is
something
that
only
makes
the
news
or
paper
or
people
care
about
it.
When
there's
bad
headlines
and
we've
had
a
lot
of
them,
not
because
the
city
was
making
mistakes,
but
because
it's
just
a
difficult
issue
and
people
really
need
a
smart
government
on
their
side,
we've
done
some
hard
things
too
and
I.
H
If
you
haven't
seen
what's
going
on
on
the
west
coast,
Google
or
YouTube,
Google
YouTube
la
Skid,
Row
homeless,
and
you
can
watch
a
devastating
story
about
what
happens
when
a
community
isn't
prepared
to
do
the
right
things
with
love
and
the
right
things
with
tough
love
in
terms
of
keeping
people
from
making
homes
where
they
shouldn't
and
we've
taken
a
lot
of
razzing
and
a
lot
of
crap
from
a
lot
of
people.
Some
some
of
my
favorite
people.
H
A
couple
of
them
are
here
tonight
that
that
thought
we
had
made
monumental
mistakes
in
in
trying
to
manage
the
homeless,
so
they
can't
have
permanent
homes
in
our
parks
and
public
areas.
Where
there
were
safety
risks.
Those
kinds
of
decisions
are
going
to
be
on
the
council
going
forward,
and
you
know
the
mayor
and
everybody
else
is
going
to
need
everybody
to
sink
their
teeth
into
it.
H
As
I
watched
other
cities,
it's
the
quickest
way
for
a
city
to
go
downhill
rapidly,
to
not
manage
that
the
the
population
give
them
hope,
jobs,
housing
and
making
sure
that
we're
doing
right
by
them.
The
irony
of
the
homeless,
Coordinating
Council,
is
that
that
what
we
set
out
to
do
give
energy
and
political
clout
to
build
a
new
shelter
to
revamp
the
continuum
of
care
board.
That's
kind
of
federal
government
lingo,
but
it's
a
requirement
that
all
cities
have.
In
essence.
H
If
we
have
a
strong
community
of
care
and
community
of
care
board,
the
HCC
worked
itself
out
of
a
lot
of
its
initial
roles
and
and
so
I'm
making
the
case
because
I
think
there's
some
people
that
think
well,
maybe
the
HCC
did
its
work
and
it's
time
to
retire.
It
and
Coleman's
been
the
chair
for
a
decade,
so
we
can
just
close
it
down
when
he
leaves
I.
Don't
want
you
to
do
that.
H
It's
it's
too
important
and
we've
accomplished
too
much
and
so
I've
laid
out
some
thoughts
that
I
think
could
guide
how
the
homeless,
Coordinating
Council
functions
in
the
future.
That
now
more
intersects
with
the
continuum
of
care.
I
took
too
much
time
on
that
issue.
But
it's
it's
really
really
important
to
me
that
the
council
continue
to
be
committed
to
treating
our
most
vulnerable
citizens
with
with
love
first
off
and
tough
love.
Second,
so
that
it
that
population
interacts
and
is
interdependent
with
the
population
at
large.
R
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
this
update.
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
examples
where
we're
losing
some
of
your
institutional
knowledge
on
a
really
important
set
of
issues
and
I
will
also
say.
This
is
one
of
those
issues
that,
just
in
my
brief
time
on
the
council,
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
hardest
issues
that
we
deal
with.
There
are
not
any
easy
easy
answers
on
this,
and
there
is
a
lot
to
grapple
with
so
I
agree
that
this
needs
continued
attention.
R
Mayor
I
would
offer
my
service
design
on
this
issue,
I
think,
regardless
the
issues
of
just
coming,
because
I
have
the
downtown
area
and
just
the
geography
organ
I
represent.
Some
of
these
issues
just
come
to
the
Third,
Ward
and
I'll
be
dealing
with
them
anyway,
but
I
want
to
be
more
engaged
on
figuring
out
solutions.
I,
don't
know
what
those
are
well.
A
A
H
I'm
trying
to
go
quick,
the
next
one
is
something
that
bill
Connie
and
I
have
talked
to
about
and
I
thought.
If
I
don't
know
if
it
was
in
the
agenda
or
not,
but
there's
been
suggestions
from
some
great
citizens
about
an
Infrastructure,
Committee
I've
been
talking
a
lot
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
want
to
start,
but
we're
doing
really
good
things
and
we've
we've
generated
some
positive
comments,
because
we
have
some
real
champions
in
the
neighborhood
that
are
watching
these
projects
happen.
Two
of
them
are
right
here
in
the
front
row.
H
And-
and
the
idea
is,
is:
is
there
an
ongoing
way
after
the
flood
we
said
we've,
we
we
wanted
to
kind
of
have
a
lessons
learned,
a
committee
to
to
kind
of
look
at
things,
but
is
there
a
role
going
forward
some
kind
of
committee
that
that
that
might
help
us
in
telling
the
story
of
our
investment
of
our
investments
in
storm
water
and
flood
protection
issues?
Is
there
somebody
to
champion
additional
dollars,
whether
it's
state
or
federal
government
that
are
citizens
that
care
about
these
things?
I'm
not
quite
sure
where
it
will
go?
H
Q
This
goes
back
to
when
we
say
we
what
type
of
boards
and
commissions
should
we
have
or
oversight
committees
only
because
of
what
the
issues
I
know
that
Gloria
Hoffman
has
been
addressing
this
for
how
many
years
20-some
years
and
wants
to
make
sure.
So
what
is
the
mechanism
to
have
a
group
that
can
oversee
our?
O
It's
a
good
point
guy,
but
Gloria
hit
me
with
us.
We
had
a
20-year
plan
in
place
and
that
ended
like
in
2012,
and
so
you
know
the
communication
that
we
give
to
our
citizens
very
poor.
We
need
to
have
these
plans
put
out.
We
need
to
have
people
understand
it
point
us
in
the
right
direction
and
make
sure
that
we
follow
through
what
we
say
we're
going
to
do
and
to
the
mayor's
credit.
You
know
we
have
been
putting
a
lot
of
money
in
there.
O
AA
AA
The
other
night
I
think
at
the
meeting
we
were
told
that
we
had
145
146
million
dollars
to
be
spent
over
the
next
six
years
and
yet,
at
the
meeting
that
I
went
to,
there
is
a
storm
water
meeting
or
a
clean
water
meeting
or
committee.
I
should
say
that
is
required
actually
by
the
government,
and
so
some
of
us
several
have
participated
in
that.
But.
AA
I
AA
AA
Information
would
be
very
valuable
and
you
were
talking
about
qualifications
and
I'm,
not
an
engineer,
but
I've
had
a
lot
of
experience
with
storm
waters
and
floods,
and
we
do
have
people
in
the
community
who
would
be
able
to
do
that
and
so
I
think.
If
you
do
establish
a
board
like
that,
you
need
to
determine
what
the
qualifications
would
be,
but
I
don't
think
they
need
to
all
be
engineers,
because
some
of
us
say
I
have
a
lot
of
history.
A
whole
basketful
and
I
think
that
could
be
a
value.
Thank
You.
Mr.
M
Mayor
to
her
point,
it
would
be
nice
to
have
something
like
that
set
up
because
somehow
or
another
we
dropped
the
ball
in
Crawford
Creek,
where
we
never
finished,
phase
seven
and
phase
eight
and
we've
had
to
go
in
and
buy
some
homes,
and
you
know
within
the
next
three
years.
We're
gonna
make
those
improvements.
But
you
know
if
we
had
a
board
in
position
like
which
what
they're
talking
about
you
know
we
we
would.
We
would
have
that
person
that
we
put
on
that
board
to
be
able
to
from
each
ward.
M
A
In
Gloria
too,
everybody's
come
in
here
and
started
a
in
a
row.
No
you're
fine
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
floods,
myself
all
the
way,
probably
from
my
adult
life
back
to
93
and
watched.
What
haven't
happened
in
this
city
and
devastated
certain
parts
of
it,
but
every
time
we
have
an
event,
it
seems
like
it's
somewhere
else,
and
so
you
know
the
47th
and
hull
command
all
the
problems
up
and
in
the
Beaverdale
area
that
happened
and
then
also
around
4
Mile
Creek.
A
Why
aren't
you
well
I
said
you
have
any
levees
attached
to
you're
messing
with
the
river
and
they
said
no
and
I
said?
Well,
then,
you
don't
have
to
deal
with
the
Corps
of
Engineers
and
you
don't
have
to
deal
with
FEMA
because
they
look
at
the
levees
and
they
accredit
them
and
they
look
at
different
aspects
of
it
and
we're
sitting
here
now
with
a
discussion
going
on
around
our
whole
levee
system.
Waiting
for
some
decisions,
out
of
the
Corps
of
Engineers
and
I,
got
to
tell
you.
A
I've
gone
through
six
generals,
who've
been
in
charge
of
the
Mississippi
Valley
and
six
Colonels
that
have
been
in
charge
of
the
Rock
Island
District.
That
can't
come
up
with
a
solution
to
allow
us
to
do
further
study
around
the
wastewater
recovery
plant
and
everything
else
that
connects
to
it
in
this
22-mile
levee
system
that
we
got
in
and
around
the
des
moines
in
the
raccoon
rivers
I
mean
it's.
A
In
your
neighborhood
to
try
to
work
on
those
levees
and
it's
all
of
us
working
together,
they're
going
to
have
voices
up
underneath
those
gold
domes
up
there
to
get
a
little
more
help
there
and
then
even
louder
voices
to
get
some
people
in
Washington
to
make
some
decisions.
We
had
a
little
more
success.
I
will
say
you
know
three
four
or
five
years
ago.
You
know
in
Washington
that
what
we're
having
right
now
but
I'm
hopeful
that
we
can
bring
everybody
together.
This
is
not
partisan,
stuff
right.
A
This
deals
with
all
of
our
citizens,
I,
don't
care.
If
they're
you
know
independents
or
Republicans
or
Democrats
or
whatever.
This
is
something
we've
got
to
deal
with,
and
I
think
citizens
voices
are
important.
So
I
like
your
idea
of
citizen
representation,
but
we've
got
to
speak
loud
and
we
got
a
sing.
Loud
is
Arlo.
Guthrie
said
if
we
want
some
some
action,
because
I
got
to
tell
you
you're
getting
it
here
and
we're
spending
as
much
money
as
we
can
to
make
some
stuff
happen,
but
we
need
some
help
up.
There.
T
AA
That's
the
thing
that
I
think
we
have.
These
are
the
decisions
you
folks
make
and
many
years
ago
we
were
told
that
there
were
other
priorities.
Well,
when
hundreds
of
people
literally
hundreds
of
people,
suffer
major
damage,
then
you
talk
about
neighborhood,
beautification
and
revitalization
I'm,
sorry,
but
that
has
to
be
a
council
decision
and
that's
why
I
think
it's
important
to
have
a
group
that
has
a
direct
contact
with
you
know.
W
There
were
many
years
where,
where
the
the
dollar
amounts
that
were
spent
and
closes
Creek,
where
as
little
as
$800,
so
we
need
a
train
that
can
stay
on
the
track
that
makes
sure
that
these
projects
get
done.
This
is
not
about
Beaverdale.
This
is
not
about
47th
and
Holcomb.
This
is
about
the
entire
city.
We
know
we
have
a
problem
when
I
was
on
the
Capital
Improvement
Infrastructure
Committee,
we
one
of
our
recommendations
was
the
master
plan
for
the
city.
W
W
Q
H
Don't
I,
don't
I,
don't
have
any
grand
plan
and
I
bill
and
Connie
and
I
have
talked
about
it
a
couple
of
times
at
coffee.
Just
about
you
know,
how
might
we
approach
him?
We
said,
let's
throw
it
out
and
you
know
how
we
define
the
committee
having
people
represented
from
each
ward.
All
throughout
the
city
is
important
so
and.
P
P
H
It's
that
all
good
reasons
aside
know.
One
of
the
reasons
I
love
serving
on
the
council
is
there's
almost
never
an
issue
that
comes
up
that
somebody
here
is
an
expert.
I
I
was
working
at
United
Way.
When
the
mayor
was
up
to
his
earlobes
in
water.
It
is
business
devastating
that
there's
nobody
that
knows
and
live
this
like
he
has
so
it
it.
H
H
We
raised
some
money
and
did
a
thank
you
event
for
our
boards
and
commissioners.
It
was
an
all-star
night,
the
board
sat
together
and
their
chair
would
introduce
them
and
it
gave
us
a
chance
to
really
thank
them
about
I'm
gonna
guess
ten
years
ago
before
Jeff
got
here,
there
started
to
be
some
concern
about
councilmembers
and
fundraising,
and
you
know
commissioners
I'd
like
to
think
that
there
is
a
way
as
a
citizen
and
an
independent
party
that
I
could
work
with
the
city
attorney
to
put
that
event
together.
H
On
behalf
of
the
city,
people
ask
me
what
I'm
gonna
do
in
my
leaving
the
council
and
one
one
of
the
things
I'd
really
like
to
do
is
to
help
you
all
thank
our
volunteers
on
the
boards
and
commissions
more.
We
do
a
really
nice
job,
James
Wells
and
his
team
of
thanking
our
employees
that
have
been
around
a
long
time
and
it
looked
and
felt
a
little
like
that.
H
But
but
it
was
different
and
good
and
I
I
just
like
to
ask
for
your
input
and
to
put
that
out
there
and
to
make
sure
that
if
you
have
concerns
about
it,
that
that
maybe
you
voice
it
to
me
and
I'll
all
work
and
make
sure
that
we
don't
put
the
city
in
jeopardy
from
finding
sponsors
or
or
but
it
was
a
free
dinner
and
a
free
rate
for
our
commissioners.
And
it
was
just
a
nice
way
to
say.
Thank
you
and.
O
A
Z
A
H
Yeah
I
see
the
issue
with
with
checks
being
rent
written
out
to
the
city
in
the
city,
doing
it
and
I.
Just
so.
That's
a
quick
one,
but
know
that
I'm
gonna,
try
and
work
with
the
city,
clerk
and
others
and
trying
to
bring
that
back
and
I.
Think
having
a
third
party
independent
from
the
city
will
thread
the
needle
of
regulatory
and
legal
issues
and
that'll.
A
H
Two
other
quick
things
in
the
coming
weeks.
I
understand,
there's
going
to
be
a
recommendation
coming
forward
about
security
for
our
city,
employees
and
our
guests
here
at
City,
Hall
and
in
other
buildings.
It's
not
easy
to
vote
for
infrastructure
and
improvements
of
this
building
and
and
others,
but
as
somebody
leaving
the
council
I
think
that's
really
important.
And
if,
if,
if
you
wanted
to
lean
on
me
for
anything
for
a
tough
vote
or
spending
money,
you
know
remind
people
that
I
didn't
have
anything
to
gain
from
it.
But
I
think
it's
really
important
I.
H
My
understanding
from
the
manager
is
that
the
chief
of
the
manager
and
others
agree
on
a
way
forward.
It's
not
free,
but
we
owe
it
to
the
people
and
the
good
citizens
that
come
down
here
and
to
our
employees
that
have
given
their
career
and
in
their
life
to
the
city
that
that
they're
protected
and
in
today's
world
of
goofiness
I
think
the
city
has
to
do
that
and
I
was
hopeful
that
I'd
be
here
when
the
recommendation
came
forward.
H
So
I
could
take
any
criticism
for
spending
money
that
way,
or
you
know,
locking
down
City
Hall
or
whatever
the
world's
just
different
than
it
was
21
years
ago
22
years
ago,
when
I
started
coming
here
and
I
think
it's
time
that
the
council
do
that.
So
I.
Just
it's
important
enough
to
me
that
you
hear
that
the
last
thing
that
I
want
to
say
and
I
have
a
series
of
things
that
I'll
send
you
that
are
kind
of
hand.
Offs
somebody's
gonna
take
my
spot
on
the
zoo
board.
H
Somebody's
gonna,
take
it
on
back
and
I'll
share
that
stuff
in
writing.
But
I
want
to
talk
about
taxes
for
a
quick,
second
and
I'm
glad
I
get
to
do
it
before
we
act
on
the
Market
District
proposal
that
the
team
has
here.
This
is
gonna.
Look
like
I'm
patting
the
mayor
and
I
on
the
back
and
at
the
risk
of
looking
like
that
I'm
going
to
do
it.
I
don't
usually
like
to
do
this,
but
when
I
that
I'll
move
it
down
I.
H
Can
pass
this
around
so
you
have
this
that
bar
in
the
middle
is
the
year
I
was
elected.
The
next
year
was
the
year
the
mayor
was
elected.
The
bar
would
actually
work
out
better
for
him
because
it
starts
going
down
right
away,
but,
as
you
can
see,
when
downtown
and
our
neighborhoods
were
dead
and
businesses
fleed
our
town
and
residents
left
and
no
young
people
lived
here,
our
taxes
were
skyrocketing
year
after
year
that
that
that
trend
line
is
not
something
I
just
created,
that's
excels.
You
know
scientific
trendline.
It
was
going
straight
up.
H
H
You
know
trying
to
you
know,
respect
you
know
our
poor
citizens,
those
on
fixed
incomes
and
trying
to
watch
the
tax
rate,
but
even
as
that
and
by
the
way,
a
couple
weeks
ago,
the
mayor
said
I
want
to
tell
the
citizens
now
to
expect
another
tax
rate,
because
our
assessments
went
up
so
high,
and
so
that
line
will
is
actually
going
to
go
down
another
20
cents
next
year,
40
cents.
If
the
council
does
what
the
what
we
said
before
a
month
ago,
so
it's
even
a
sharper
decline.
H
Normally,
for
a
long
time,
it
was
in
our
budget
plan,
but
when
I
first
got
elected,
we
started
tracking
a
couple
of
average
size
average
assessed
houses
in
town
and
we've
looked
at
how
much
they've
gone
up,
and
so
I
asked
the
finance
department
to
update
it
now,
but
it
rolls
together
the
rule
back.
The
assessment,
the
you
know,
the
the
credits
that
people
have
and
it
shows
on
an
average
house
in
Des
Moines.
What
the
actual
taxes
are
that
are
being
paid.
H
I
draw
attention
to
this,
because,
even
with
the
decreasing
levy,
the
taxes
that
our
citizens
have
continued
to
go
up
because
of
the
assessment
in
a
lot
of
ways.
That's
a
good
thing
for
the
citizens.
It's
a
good
thing
for
me,
my
largest
as
investment
is
my
house
I
want
my
investments
to
go
up,
but
it
has
to
correspond
with
managing
the
tax
rate
and,
quite
frankly,
as
great
as
our
city
staff
is
and
others
they
hear
from
people
and
have
ideas
to
improve
our
city
all
the
time.
H
The
discussion
about
tax
rate
really
has
to
start
at
the
council
and
I
know
that,
while
that
numbers
gone
down,
we've
skyrocketed
our
storm
water
and
sanitary
sewer
fee,
because
that's
a
pressing
problem
assessments
have
gone
up
which
have
kept
taxes
high.
Today
we
heard
a
presentation
where
we
raise
fees
on
our
citizens
by
you
know
approximately
twenty
dollars
over
the
next
couple
of
years
annually
for
garbage
rates.
All
that
stuff
has
to
be
rolled
together.
H
Scott
knows
this
because
he
used
to
negotiate
against
the
city
to
bring
deals
to
West
Des
Moines
I
respect
him
I'm,
not
criticizing
him,
but
but
he
knows
what
our
weakness
is
and
he's
worked
hard
to
manage.
This
I
I
I
mentioned
a
the
market
district.
My
fifth
meeting
on
the
council
was
when
we
voted
for
the
Gateway
project,
which
at
the
time
was
gateway,
East
and
West,
which
turned
into
the
East
Village
I
printed
off.
H
The
blue
letter
for
you
and
I
want
you
to
read
it,
because
this
was
one
of
the
hardest
votes
I've
had
in
twenty
two
years,
and
it
was
my
first
month
and
a
half
I
the
council,
but
everything
that
our
city
staff
predicted
could
be
true
has
come
true.
The
investment
that
we
made
at
the
front
end
20
years
ago,
21
years
ago,
may,
has
paid
off
dramatically
and
I
tell
you
that,
as
a
precursor
to
the
presentation
we're
gonna
have
and
head
this
morning
on,
the
market
district
I
asked
mr.
H
Hayes
before
you
know
what
is
what's
the
anticipated
taxable
value
there?
We
don't
do
a
good
job
explaining
to
neighbors
that
when
downtown
generates
money
they
don't
consume
much
of
it.
You
know
where
we
spend
it
with
police
and
firefighters
and
our
neighborhoods
at
parks
and
on
roads
and
sidewalks
and
sewers,
and
so
we
need
this
engine
down
here
and
I'm
very
appreciative
of
people
that
gamble
everything
that
they
have
to
bring
new
projects
to
town.
So
I
wanted
to
put
this
out
there
challenge
you
to
continue
to
fight
I
will
tell
you.
H
I
will
partly
view
your
successes
of
council
on
how
well
you
use
my
money
and
how
much
of
it
you
take
from
me
and
I
think
that's
the
way.
A
lot
of
people
do
and
I
want
us
to
continue
to
be
a
city
that
people
want
to
live
in,
not
that
they're
forced
to
when
I
first
joined
president
Daniels.
It
didn't
support
me.
The
first
thing
that
he
said
to
me
was
you
got
to
help
me.
I,
don't
want
Des
Moines
to
be
the
place
where
only
the
people
that
can't
afford
to
leave
live.
H
That
was
pretty
staggering
from
the
mayor
and
that's
the
way
he
felt
like
things
were
going
and
we've
created
a
city,
that's
strong!
We
no
longer
have
to
beg
for
regionalism.
People
see
that
we
bring
something
major
to
the
table.
We
just
have
to
continue
to
manage
our
taxes
and
into
the
future,
we'll
be
strong,
so
everything
else
I
can
send
you,
but
those
are
the
things
that
were
on
my
list.
I
brew
a
chance
to
share
them.
A
The
thing
that
is
paid
off
the
most
in
our
in
our
downtown,
in
addition
to
all
those
businesses,
these
people
living
down
right,
it's
created
a
not
an
eight
to
five
time
place.
It's
now
an
18
hour
to
20
hour
downtown.
It's
changed
dramatically
with
great
places
to
eat
entertainment,
great
advances
in
the
Civic
Center,
the
arena
so
much
stuff
going
on
and
around
Des
Moines,
and
this
is
the
heart
of
Iowa,
Des
Moines.
A
T
So
mayor,
if
I
could
yep
yep
and
so
I've
already
spoken
to
the
council
about
this,
but
I
put
on
the
public
record
I
have
every
confidence
and
Nick's
abilities
to
move
the
finance
department
forward.
We're
going
to
do
this
on
an
interim
basis,
but
I
am
NOT
starting
the
recruitment
right
away.
Obviously,
we
need
to
get
through
this
cycle
of
the
budget,
and
so
I
would
anticipate
a
late
spring,
maybe
even
summer
before
we
would
look
at
a
recruitment
again.
I
have
every
confidence
that
that
Nick
can
get
us
through
this
periods.
T
K
A

We
had
a
nice
discussion
about
the
future
of
that
Market
District
this
morning.
Some
of
our
folks
are
here
now,
but
if
there
is
not
any
further
discussion,
I
would
ask
we'll
open
it
up.
If
there
is
anybody
like
may
comment
otherwise
moving
outward,
and
we.
M
Had
quite
a
lengthy
discussion
today
that
a
nice
presentation
done
I
think
made
a
great
discussion
unless
there's
any
questions,
I
will
move
item
59
and
I'm
glad
councilman
Coleman
brought
that
to
our
attention.
This
is
something
like
the
East
Village
where
we
stepped
out,
and
you
allow
private
investors
to
dictate
what
the
market
is
going
to
be
and
we're
gonna
do
the
same
thing
with
this
property
and
we're
gonna
move
forward
and
we're
excited
to
to
see
it
happen.
R
All
just
that
I
was
impressed
by
what
we
saw
this
night
this
morning,
and
particularly
the
vision
that
talked
about
I
mean
I,
took
away
some
really
key
things:
the
density,
the
affordable
housing
component,
which
I
think
is
critical
anytime,
we're
talking
about
new
development.
How
you
integrate
that
in
everywhere
in
the
community,
is
really
critical.
Some
of
the
things
they
were
thinking
about
from
a
green
infrastructure
perspective
and
a
stormwater
perspective.
You
know
we
weren't.
We
didn't
have
the
benefit
of
that
knowledge.
R
The
connectivity
that's
going
to
be
a
key
piece
of
this,
the
anchoring
of
a
park
and
there's
a
lot
that
is
really
a
model
here
and
I
was
really
impressed
by
what
we
saw
and
I
hope
that
this
is
the
type
of
thing
that,
when
we're
someday
given
retirement
speeches,
we
can
point
to
the
benefit
that
this
is
provided
for
our
community,
because
I
think
it
has
that
type
of
potential
and
so
I'm
glad
Chris
that
you
recommend.
You
recognize
that
and
made
that
connection
to
so
excited
to
see
this.
S
Good
mayor
council,
in
the
spirit
of
the
evening,
I,
would
just
like
to
share
a
fact
that
I
learned
a
few
weeks
ago.
Jim
County
ran
for
mayor
22
years
ago
and
he
lost
and
he
lost
to
Preston
Daniels
Preston
Daniels
became
mayor
which
opened
up
an
at-large
seat,
that's
which
was
filled
by
Chris,
Coleman
and
I.
Think
I
think
we're
all
thankful
for
the
result.
H
M
I
R
A
R
Seeing
none
mr.
mayor
I'll
just
move
this
real
quickly
and
I
know
this
probably
just
deserves
a
clarification,
so
the
public
knows
what
we're
doing
you
know
this
allows
for
the
the
land
acquisition
that
we
have
to
approve.
It
does
not
commit
the
city
to
any
dollars
for
this
project,
those
discussions
and
they're
figuring
out
how
they're
gonna,
how
they're
gonna
pay
for
what
what
they
do
there.
