Description
Des Moines City Council meeting via teleconference on Monday, Oct. 19, 2020.
A
A
B
C
All
right,
okay,
I
think
we'll
go
ahead
and
get
started.
I
want
to
welcome
everybody
to
our
october
19
city
council
meeting
we're
sorry
for
the
little
delay
here.
We
have
a
little
trouble
getting
our
live
streaming
going,
but
I
think
everything's
up
and
running
at
this
time.
So
we
appreciate
everybody's
patience.
A
D
C
C
These
items
are
fully
vetted
and
are
not
those
better
suited
for
more
informal,
highly
detailed
settings
ensuring
that
the
items
on
the
our
council
agenda
are
appropriate
for
the
council
agenda
and
not
a
different
venue
will
lead
to
more
orderly
and
efficient
council
meetings,
move
forward
and
enhance
communications
and
reduced
redundancy
and
in
excess
conversation
or
or
input.
So
we
want
to.
Thank
you
all
item.
C
F
G
H
C
I
I
I
The
other
thing
I
would
also
like
to
add
is
that
at
every
meeting
we
have
a
request
for
information
item
so
that
if
we
have
any
reports
that
we
want
or
any
information,
if
it's
something
that
is
something
simple
to
do
easy
to
do,
that
we
then
get
that
information.
But
if
it's
going
to
be
a
long
process
or
a
a
long
report
that
would
take
staff
time
that
the
majority
of
the
council
should
decide.
I
C
All
right,
thank
you.
Let
me
also
we've
got
a
couple
of
rules.
Rule
11
is
an
agenda
deadline.
Any
member
of
the
council,
the
city
manager,
corporate
council
city
clerk,
may
have
an
item
included
on
the
agenda
by
requesting
that
the
city
clerk
to
include
the
item
by
5
pm
on
the
wednesday
preceding
the
council
meeting.
If
the
item
is
requested
by
a
council
member,
it
shall
be
approved
by
the
mayor
and
the
mayor
pro
tem
prior
to
the
inclusion
on
the
agenda.
C
Rule
12
is
an
extra
item
items
requested
or
filed
after
5
pm
on
the
wednesday
proceeding.
The
council
meeting
shall
not
be
included
on
the
agenda.
Unless
a
council
member
shall
deem
the
item
of
sufficient
urgency
to
warrant
an
immediate
council
action,
these
items
shall
be
designated
as
extra
items
and
will
be
considered
at
the
appropriate
place
on
the
agenda
prior
to
or
after
a
related
item
or
at
the
end
of
a
regular
agenda.
The
requirement
of
the
rule
11
shall
also
apply
to
the
extra
item
request.
I
D
Mayor
can
I
just
add
one
thing,
and
I
I
appreciate
my
colleagues
coming
up
with
these
procedural
rules
and
we've
had
discussions
as
as
you
if
something
isn't
able
to
be
put
on
the
agenda,
and
it
goes
to
the
next
agenda
as
we've
talked
about.
I
think
it
would
be
important
that
that
also
gets
voted
on
that
that
three
other
council
members
would
like
it
to
be
on
the
council
agenda.
D
C
D
A
D
C
J
C
I
will
say
that
it
looks
and
I
think
we
can
see
it
there's
a
number
of
folks
on
that
would
like
to
remove.
It
looks
like
some
items
if
we
are
comfortable
with
taking
those
routine
items
which
are
general
business
for
the
city
to
generally
do
on
one
roll
call
vote
if
the
council
is
is
good
with
that,
we'll
move
ahead.
Otherwise
we
can
open
it
up
and
find
out
which
items
these
folks
want
to
pull
and
then
decide
whether
we
want
to
pull
them.
C
L
K
D
M
N
I
think
a
million
dollars
is
a
lot
of
money
for
the
city,
so
I
think
we
should
discuss
and
get
more
information
around
it
and
also,
especially
because
it's
dealing
with
weapons,
which
is
something
that
I
also
think
on
its
own
should
be
discussed.
So
I
think
33
is
important
to
remove
from
the
consensus.
C
O
Hello
happy
monday
to
the
des
moines
city
council.
I
would
like
to
request
that
item
23i
be
taken
off
of
the
consent
agenda.
You
know
the
ten
thousand
dollar
settlements
that
are
being
paid
out,
specifically
the
four
thousand
dollar
settlement,
that's
being
paid
out
to
someone
because
they
were
attacked
by
a
des
moines
police
dog
would
love
to
get
off
the
consent
agenda.
Thank
you.
O
P
H
Q
Hi
hello:
this
is
chelsea
chisholm,
vargas
pronoun.
She
her.
I
heard
kay
mention
that
we
can
only
request
one,
so
I'm
unsure,
if
we're
going
to
do
another
round
of
pr
approving
consent,
agendas
and
pooling
these
items.
So
if
we're
not,
I
would
still
like
to
push
for
I'm
removing
two
23i
and
33
as
well.
We
don't
need
weapons
of
mass
destruction
in
this.
Okay.
C
K
S
Okay,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
say
that
you
stated
that
we
are
going
you
that
the
council
is
going
to
be
voting
on
whether
or
not
you're
going
to
pull
these
items
after
we
speak.
So
you
should
be
allowing
everyone
to
speak
and
I'd
like
you
to
stop
being
frustrated
with
the
people
who
are
trying
to
speak,
because,
even
though
we
are
asking
for
the
same
items
to
be
pulled,
everyone
wants
a
chance
to
speak
and
be
heard
here,
so
you're
being
incredibly
rude
with
your
tone.
K
T
V
Hi,
yes,
I
would
like
to
pull
items
23i
and
33,
because
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
implications
of
calling
increased
money
for
the
police,
a
partnership
with
dhs
and
taxpayer
money
going
to
pay
for
police
negligence
and
mistakes
uncontroversial.
I
think
those
are
very
controversial
issues
and
something
that
should
be
discussed.
K
X
Hi,
yes,
this
is
matt
herron
des
moines.
He
him.
Nonetheless,
I
do
believe
that
you
should
remove
item
33,
as
it
would
be
irresponsible
use
of
funds
for
a
threat
that
is
not
a
priority
in
des
moines,
unfortunately,
or
fortunately
I
should
say
we
don't
have
that
threat
here
currently
and
to
use
that
much
money
is
unconstitutional
as
well
as
irresponsible.

D
The
mayor
just
a
point
of
clarification.
I
see
everyone
spoken,
aren't
we
accepting
a
grant
from
the
federal
government?
So
we
don't
have
so
we
have
the
ability
to
to
have
training.
So
we
don't
have
weapons
of
mass
destruction.
I
mean
we're
we're
not
maybe
there's
some
confusion
or
maybe
I'm
confused.
AE
Yes,
this
scott's
city
manager,
and
there
is
for
the
public
on
online.
There
is
a
council
communication
that
explains
further
the
grant
funds
for
item
33
that
the
city
is
receiving
from
the
federal
government.
The
city
of
des
moines
acts
as
the
grant
coordinator
for
the
funds
that
get
disbursed
to
all
the
teams
across
the
state.
D
Well,
I
would
agree
with
you
mayor.
I
mean
this
is
an
important
training.
We
obviously
want
to
be
prepared
for
anything
that
could
happen.
I
mean,
obviously,
we
never
thought
that
we
would
be
in
a
pandemic
right
now,
so
we
don't
know
what's
going
to
happen
in
the
future,
we
need
to
be
able
to
have
training.
This
isn't
coming
out
of
our
general
fund.
This
is
a
grant
from
the
federal
government.
D
AE
D
K
A
D
C
I
C
All
right-
and
we
actually
then
went
ahead
and
discussed
the
quickly,
the
23i
and
the
33,
and
got
some
input
on
concern
of
some
of
the
citizens.
So
I
appreciate
citizens
doing
that
and
we
will
post
up
some
of
the
detail.
That
would
hopefully
be
helpful
for
for
you,
folks,
we
have
a
motion.
Would
you
pull
the
council?
Please.
C
C
C
C
Those
are
on
vacation
hearings
and
then
there
are
some
other
hearing
items.
So
we
understand
that
at
some
of
the
meetings
there's
been
some
confusion
about
when
the
public
may
raise
their
hand
on
the
zoom
calls.
So
we're
going
to
remind
everybody
the
rules
again
for
the
this
meeting
this
evening.
So
for
the
zoning
items
only
and
again
that's
48,
49
and
50..
C
We
will
hear
from
the
parties
in
interest
and
then
the
general
public,
so
the
parties
in
interest
include
only
the
applicant
for
the
rezoning
and
those
persons
living
within
250
feet
of
the
property
to
be
rezoned,
to
whom
the
city
has
sent
those
notices.
After
all,
the
parties
of
interest
have
commented.
We
will
open
it
up
to
any
member
of
the
public
for
germaine
comments
to
aid
the
city
clerk
in
calling
on
the
parties
in
interest.
C
Anyone
who
raises
their
hand
before
it
is
their
time
will
be
compared
to
the
mailed
in
list
and,
if
not
on
that
list,
you'll
be
considered
disruptive
and
will
not
be
recognized
for
the
remainder
of
the
meeting.
So
please
wait
until
I
call
on
the
general
public
for
the
zoning
items
again:
48,
49
and
50,
or
you
will
not
be
called
on
for
the
remainder
of
the
meeting
for
those
members
of
the
general
public
who
wait
to
raise
their
hands.
C
So
the
other
items
that
are
not
zoning
items
which
are
items
51-55.
The
public
may
raise
their
hand
immediately
upon.
My
reading
the
item
for
comment
that
are
germane
to
that
item
only
so
we
again
keep
your
comments.
Germaine
to
the
item,
that's
at
hand
for
the
vacation
hearing,
it's
designed
to
allow
the
public
to
comment
concerning
the
discontinuance
of
the
use
of
city,
property
and
conveyance
of
property
interests.
C
As
the
city
is
the
property
owner.
The
city's
representative
will
have
an
opportunity
to
speak
for
up
to
five
minutes
concerning
the
topic
and
the
public
will
be
called
on
for
up
to
10
minutes
of
germaine
public
comments
and
to
not
exceed
two
minutes
per
person
for
that
budget.
Amendment
hearing
any
resident
or
taxpayer
of
the
city
can
comment
on
the
proposed
amendment.
This
item
will
be
limited
to
30
minutes
at
no
more
than
two
minutes
per
person.
For
those
jermaine
comments
to
the
budget
hearings.
C
For
the
copier
lease
hearing
any
resident
or
property
owner,
the
city
can
comment.
This
item
will
be
limited
to
15
minutes
at
no
more
than
two
minutes
per

for
again
jermaine
comments
for
the
construction
hearings.
Any
interested
person
again
can
may
appear
and
file
objections
to
be
proposed.
Plans
to
those
proposed
plans,
specifications,
contract
or
estimated
costs
of
the
public
improvements,
and
those
will
be
the
only
comments
that
will
be
considered
jermaine.
C
C
And
that
first
hearing
item
again
is
item
48,
and
that
is
a
zoning
item.
So
item
48
will
open
the
the
hearings
at
5
21..
It's
on
request
for
mundo,
pequento
llc,
owner
to
amend
plan
dsm.
Future
land
use
designation
into
rezone
1922
southwest
1st
street
from
nx2
neighborhood
mix
district
to
rx1
mixed
use
district
to
allow
the
expansion
of
the
existing
non-conforming
daycare
use
a
is
the
first
consideration.
The
ordinance
above
and
b
is
the
final
consideration.
C
C
G
Allen
you,
mr
mayor,
members
of
the
council,
appreciate
the
opportunity
this
evening
I'll
keep
my
comments
very
brief.
On
this.
It's
a
pretty
straightforward
rezoning.
I
was
approached
by
the
owner
of
this
property
to
assist
with
some
basically
some
site
planning
issues.
They
wanted
to
update
their
parking
lot
and
also
make
some
enhancements
to
the
building
facade,
change,
some
doors
and
some
windows
during
the
pre-application
process.
G
With
the
city,
it
was
identified
that
the
daycare
use
is
not
illegal
use
within
the
nx2
zoning
district
and
we
were
requested
to
go
ahead
and
re
rezone
the
property
primarily
to
legitimize
the
use.
So
that's
basically
the
result
for
the
request
to
rx1
everything
else.
I
think
will
be
handled
during
the
site
plan
review
process
so
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
D
AG
D
AF
Q
Q
It's
a
great
location
for
a
daycare,
as
it's
been
one
for
at
least
30
years
or
so
across.
The
street
is
saint
anthony,
so
some
of
those
students
also
then
feed
into
st
anthony's,
so
yeah,
I'm
glad
that
it's
getting
changed
since
it
seems
like
it
was
a
mistake
in
sitting
in
city
planning
that
it
wasn't
in
the
proper
zoning
for
this
time
around.
So
thanks
for
changing
that,
and
please
make
sure
to
take
public
comments
before.
K
C
item
49
is
on
request
from
brown
dog
reel.
The
llc
is
the
owner
to
amend
gland
dsm
future
land
use
designation
into
rezone
2110
wakanda
view
drive
from
mx2
mixed
use
district
to
a
limited
i1
industrial
district
to
allow
the
expansion
of
an
existing
plumbing
and
mechanical
shop
for
site
improvements.
A
H
C
E
One
of
the
things
that
that
I
think
this
highlights
is
perhaps
a
need
for
some
changes
to
zoning
code
to
remove
barriers
like
this.
I
I
think
for
roof
mounted
systems
in
puds.
We
we
currently
require
a
pud
to
come
back
for
any
site
plan
change
and-
and
I
think
we
could
maybe
streamline
this
for
other
puds
around
the
city
going
forward-
and
I've
mentioned
that
to
staff
already,
but
wanted
to
just
reiterate
that
publicly,
so
that
we
hopefully
streamline
this
and
make
it
easier.
E
E
J
C
J
J
The
the
design
has
been
vetted
by
the
state,
historic
preservation
office
and
I
have
approved
it.
It's
also
been
reviewed
by
the
preservation
commission.
I
believe
I'm
not
quite
sure
on
that,
but
this
is
because
of
the
pud,
and
we
would
ask
kindly
I'm
not
an
unofficial
capacity,
just
an
interested
church
member.
If
there's
no
objection
to
wave
of
the
three
readings
please
and
thanks.
C
C
Q
Thank
you
yes,
chelsea
chisholm,
vargas
pronoun.
She
her.
I
support
plymouth
church
doing
this
effort,
especially
with
solar
panels.
It
seems
like
they're,
progressive
forward
thinking
organization,
I
believe
in
2018
they
had
a
black
lives
matter
sign
on
their
church,
which
sergeant
paul
parizek
said
was
divisive
and
said
all
lives
matter.
So
I
just
want
to
support
this
church's
efforts
as
they
move
forward
in
our
thinking
of
the
environment
and
sustainability.
G
AG
Mayor
county
members
of
the
city
council,
michael
ludwig,
deputy
director
of
development
services
for
the
city
of
des
moines,
there's
no
need
to
have
a
second
and
third
reading.
This
is
not
a
rezoning.
It's
just
an
amendment
of
the
final
development
plan,
so
it's
a
single
action
tonight
on
this.
Just
final
development
plan.
O
There
you
go
yeah,
I
had
to
wait
for
kay
to
do
it,
but
hello
jalen.
He
him
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
on
this
item.
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
think
that
it's
awesome
that
they're
looking
at
trying
to
put
these
solar
panels
on
the
roof.
I
think
this
is
something
that
the
city
should
be
trying
to
promote
more
widely
to
you
know
other
businesses
and
organizations
and
homeowners
even
around
the
city,
to
try
to
get
some
more
sustainability
in
environmentally
focused
new
development
in
the
city.
O
C
L
L
And
residents
to
be
doing
things
like
that
stand
in
support
of
that,
I
agree
with
what
councilmember
mandelbaum
said.
I
would
like
to
remove
the
zoning
barrier
things
like
this,
since
we
all
know
that,
like
this
is
going
to
be
beneficial
for
our
community,
we
don't
make
it
harder
for
anybody
to
go
through
those
kids.
So
I
would
hope
that
all
the
council
members
especially
want
to
represent.
L
L
M
It
sounds
like
a
really
great
church,
putting
a
black
lives
matter
sign
outside,
and
I
also
agree
with
councilman
mandelbaum
that
definitely
something
needs
to
be
done
about
this
zoning
issue,
like
businesses
or
churches,
or
anyone
who
wants
to
put
up
solar
panels
to
you
know
help
the
environment
really
is
what
that's
doing
shouldn't
have
to
jump
through
these
hoops
with
like
zoning
and
having
to
work
with
the
city,
which
we
all
know
can
be
very
frustrating
in
order
to
put
up
these
solar
panels.
That
really
is
just
beneficial
for
everyone.
W
Yeah
I
want
to
go
ahead
and
just
speak
in
support
of
this.
I
I
apologize
for
the
slow
muting,
I'm
actually
at
work
at
the
moment
yeah.
I
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
speak
in
support
of
this,
and
I
think
that
not
only
should
we
remove
the
barriers
for
zoning,
you
know
zoning
barriers
for
providing
clean,
sustainable
energy.
I
think
that
we
should
also
be
rewarding.
AI
AI
P
Sorry,
none
of
us
can
unmute
ourselves.
We
have
to
wait
to
be
unmuted,
so
forgive
us
in
advance
for
that
yeah.
So
I
just
also
wanted
to
express
my
support
for
allowing
this
church
to
invest
in
solutions
for
our
community.
As
everyone's
kind
of
commented,
it's
been
very
clear
that
these
are
people
who
are
really
invested
in
communities
and
listening
to
what
their
congregation
is
saying.
B
P
P
X
My
apologies,
thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me
now
yeah,
okay
and
once
again,
I
will
apologize
again
actually,
because
I
understand
that
you
have
stated
that
you
do
not
want
us
to
mix
the
topics
or
agenda
or
agenda
issues.
However,
if
you
really
want
to
be
responsible
with
a
grant
a
federal
grant
for
over
a
million
dollars,
perhaps
you
would
use
that
towards
a
greener
city
and
making
this
place
somewhere,
where
we
don't
produce
just
clutter
it
I
mean
just
making
it
cleaner.
X
X
K
AG
So
this
is
really
more
of
an
issue
of
an
existing
condition
in
an
existing
planned
unit,
development
and
complicated
by
the
fact
that
any
amendments
to
puds,
because
they're
grandfathered
under
our
new
zoning
code
have
to
come
back
to
council.
So
we
can
definitely
look
at
that
grandfather
issue
on
on
old
puds,
but
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
for
any
non-puds
that
are
subject
to
our
zoning
code,
the
solar
is
a
permitted
by
right
option
under
our
code.
So
we
did
address
that
in
the
writing
of
the
new
code.
Thank
you.
K
AC
Hello
colo,
my
pronouns
are
she
they?
I
would
like
to
say
some
of
that
funding
that
you
all
are
using
for
the
dmpd
could
be
used
to
put
solar
panels
in
areas
such
as
drake
university
or
just
more
urban
areas
where
you
guys
seem
to
gentrify
things.
I
think
that
would
be
a
great
solution
to
defunding.
A
D
C
C
C
C
K
C
Q
D
C
L
From
what
I
saw
reading
the
council
communication,
this
is
just
essentially
cutting
the
budget
due
the
same
from
the
crisis,
so
accounting
for
the
revenue
lost
and
just
making
up
for
that
on
the
budget
that
we're
currently
in
right
now.
So
nothing
is
dealing
with
the
repercussions
of
like
isn't
that
correct.
That's.
C
O
I
do
want
to
say
that
I'm
looking
at
the
council
communication-
and
I
see
that
within
this
budget
cut,
there
is
a
256
thousand
dollar
cut
to
the
school
resource
officer
program.
I
want
to
say
that
I
support
that
and
would
actually
encourage
you
all
to
go
even
further.
Looking
to
cut
that
program.
Specifically,
we
do
know
that
you
know
in
the
general
budget,
there's
1.2
million
dollars
allocated
to
the
sro
program
from
the
des
moines
budget.
O
So
you
know
maybe
cutting
that
entire
budget
and
removing
cops
from
schools
would
be
a
good
thing
to
look
at
when
you're
looking
at
saving
money
and
also
keeping
children
safe.
Stopping
the
criminalization
of
black
and
brown
youth
and
yeah
in
if
you're,
looking
to
cut
more
places
from
the
budget
because
of
you
know
covet
costs.
The
des
moines
police
department
budget
is
the
place
to
look,
definitely
recommend
y'all
cutting
that
budget
as
much
as
possible.
Q
Q
B
P
H
AC
There
you
go
hello.
I
would
also
like
to
say
that
I
would.
I
would
like
to
say
that
I
am
supporting
everyone
else
who
spoke
before
me
and
saying:
defunding.
The
sr
rose,
normalizing
high
school
students
in
handcuffs
and
paddy
wagons
is
not
okay.
Criminalizing
black
and
brown
bodies
is
not
okay,
defund,
the
police.
K
W
Hello,
okay,
yeah.
I
also
wanna
yeah.
I
also
wanna
go
ahead
and
state
that
I
support
taking
the
money
from
the
sro
program.
I
think
that
that's
a
really
good
move
on
the
council.
I
wanna
thank
you
for
that.
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
move
forward
even
further,
and
you
know
if
we're
having
budget
issues
that
we're
having
to
look
at.
You
know
the
gmcd
takes
up
40
of
our
buckets,
so
you
know
that'd
be
a
great
place
to
start
looking
for
money.
AJ
Thank
you
for
having
me
speak,
so
I
just
also
wanted
to
voice
my
support
for
reallocating
those
funds
from
the
fro
program.
I
would
personally
like
to
see
those
funds
withdrawn
from
the
budget
and
maybe
put
into
some
better
mental
health
programs
and
after-school
resources
for
those
kids.
I
do
know
that
at
times
the
parks
and
rec
department
has
been
extremely
short,
underfunded
and
short-staffed.
AJ
C
S
Hi,
I
wanted
to
say
I
also
support
the
reduction
in
the
sro
funds.
I
wanted
to
clarify
what
that
means.
It
says
revenue
reduction
from
gmps,
so
does
that
mean
the
city
lost
funds
from
dmps
because
they're
not
paying
for
school
resource
officers,
and
then
I'd
also
just
like
to
state
that
we
want
the
sros
out
of
schools
entirely.
They
don't
need
to
be
there
black
lives
matter.
Thank
you.
A
D
C
Right
item
53:
it's
on
the
proposition
to
authorize
an
amendment
to
the
lease
agreement
with
coke
brothers
inc
for
the
lease
of
up
to
44,
additional
multi-function
devices,
printers
copiers
scanners
and
a
facsimile
for
the
use
in
city
operations
for
a
period
not
to
exceed
five
years
in
the
amount
not
to
exceed
four
hundred
and
forty
thousand
six
hundred
and
eight
dollars
and
seventy
eight
cents.
The
total
that'll
bring
the
total
to
one
million
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
council
communication
number
20-464.
D
D
AE
C
AK
Can
you
guys
hear
me
now
yep?
Okay,
sorry,
I
was
having
a
mic
issue.
I
just
wanted
to
elaborate
the.
What
we
had
done
in
the
past
was
the
81
that
we
currently
have
at
the
city.
This
allows
for
44
additional
as
I.t
evaluates
the
remaining
department
and
divisions
if
they
need
additional
over
the
course
of
the
next
couple
of
years.
So
it's
meant
to
give
the
authority
over
time
to
add
an
additional
44
if
needed,.
D
K
C
L
If
this
is
just
a
coincidence,
then
I
would
be
fine
with
it
as
a
design-based
company,
but
if
not,
then
I
would
urge
you
all
to
reconsider,
and
I
would
also
like
to
echo
councilman
gatto's
question
of.
Do.
We
really
need
to
be
updating
these
things
and
they
have
things
that
are
fun
currently.
Do
we
really
need
44
new
devices?
Thank
you.
I
P
Hi
there
I'm
harley
boulder
at
sheave.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I'm
understanding
this
correctly.
So
I
do
have
a
question
for
the
council
is
that
we
would
be
potentially
spending
up
to
one
million
one
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
total
on
44
devices
over
the
next
four
years.
Potentially,
if
we
need
them
in
our
public
spaces.
P
C
AL
O
Hey
council
jalen,
he
him
I'll,
tell
you
what
looking
at
this
agenda
item
53.
One
thing
that
does
make
me
happy
about
it
is
I'm
seeing
some
improved
I.t
stuff
for
the
city.
Some
improvements
in
I.t,
I
think,
are
really
needed
for
the
city,
especially
the
way
we've
seen.
Some
of
these
virtual
meetings
have
been
ran.
So
definitely
you
know
supportive
of
you
all
looking
into
ways
on
how
to
improve
the
it
and,
if
that's
doing
it
through
this,
then
I
think
that's
a
good
avenue.
You
know
and
I'll.
O
I
will
also
say
I
did
used
to
think
that
the
koch
brothers
located
downtown
was,
you
know,
part
of
the
larger
koch
brothers.
You
know
based
in
kansas,
and
if
that
was
the
case,
I
would
say
that's
very
problematic.
We
know
that
the
koch
brothers
are
extremely
racist
and
we
already
have
enough
problems
with
racism
coming
from
the
des
moines
police
department.
Thank
you.
C
AM
AM
All
right,
thank
you,
yeah.
I
just
doing
some
quick
math
here,
44
multi-function
devices.
That's
going
to
come
out
to
10
000
per
device
at
the
minimum
seems
like
a
very
high
number
for
unnecessary
office
equipment
during
a
very
hard
time
for
folks
and
seems
like
we
could
be
using
these
resources
more
efficiently,
better
for
better
things.
AM
AH
H
C
W
Yeah,
as
I
said
before,
I
apologize
I'm
at
work,
so
it'll
take
me
a
few
seconds
yeah.
I
want
to
go
ahead
and
just
say
that
there
are
so
many
other
things
that
we
can
be.
You
know
utilizing
the
money
for
I'd
like
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about
what
you
know.
These
are
going
to
be
used
for,
especially
since
you
know
this
is
the
money
in
our
city
that's
being
allocated,
you
know
we
pay
the
taxes,
so
I'm
finding
it.
W
C
H
AJ
Yeah,
I
think
thank
you
again
for
having
me
speak.
I
think
the
the
issue
that
everyone
is
concerned
about
is
because
you
know
crunching
the
math
in
our
head,
we're
saying:
okay.
Well,
they
want
44
new
computers
over
you
know
five
years
and
that's
going
to
cost
x
millions
of
dollars.
But
you
know
all
of
us
are
going
okay.
Well,
a
desk.
AJ
You
know
a
desktop
is
600
or
800,
so
we're
wondering
where,
for
44
computers
and
printers
and
such
that
the
number
you
know
x
million
amount
of
dollars
is
coming
from
because
anybody
who's
anybody.
I
just
had
problems
with
my
ancient
computer,
so
you
guys
just
saw
that
so
we're
wondering
where
that
money
is
is
being
when
the
men
in
our
heads.

Hello,

you

her,
but
I'm
just
another
community
member
who's
concerned
with
the
exceeding
amount
of
money
for
item
53
again.
I
agree
that
there's
other
areas
that
we
could
use
this
money
for
to
more
support
residents
of
des
moines
and
our
health
and
our
livelihood,
especially
at
this
time
when
we're

communication
from
council
member
to
present
a
draft
resolution
concerning
the
city's
claimant
and
energy
goals
to
the
council
and
to
direct
our
city
manager
to
schedule
a
work
session
in
november
to
discuss
such
goals
and
draft
resolution
at
that
time.
To
present
a
resolution
to
the
council
for
consideration,
hopefully
by
the
second
meeting
december
councilmember
matt
obama
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
E
E
They're,
strong,
strong
goals
and
and
something
to
work
for.
But
it
goes
beyond
that
because
we
can't
simply
adopt
emission
reduction
goals.
We
also
need
to
map
out
how
we'll
meet
them
and
a
clean
energy
standard
is
a
critical
policy
for
achieving
meaningful
emission
reduction
goals
and
that
that's
why
this
resolution
starts
a
conversation
about
adopting
a
24,
7
100
clean
energy
standard
by
2030..
E
AE
We
will
certainly
address
the
concerns
of
how
the
franchise
fee
agreement
what
what,
what,
how
that
pertains
to
the
city's
right
of
ways
and
give
advice
on
whether
or
not
to
to
include
the
franchise
agreement.
I
would
tell
you
at
this
point
what
I've
seen
we
would
likely
want
to
keep
that
very
separate,
and
so
we
would
start
the
conversation
with
the
workshop.
With
with
that
legal
analysis
and
my
recommendation.
C
D
So
I
just
think
that's
something
that
we
can
all
be
educated
from
what
they're
doing
to.
I
know
you're
very
educated.
This
is
what
this
is
your
day
job
and
we
appreciate
that.
But
a
lot
of
us
don't
do
these
things
on
a
daily
basis.
So
I
I
would.
I
would
like
to
have
mid-america
as
the
professional
in
our
community
to
be
there.
F
E
Yeah
and
to
be
clear,
I
I
I'm
happy
to
work
with
with
the
manager
on
having
mid-american
and
if
there
are
other
stakeholders
that
are
appropriate
to
help
provide
a
full,
balanced
presentation.
I
think
we'll
we'll
work
on
getting
that
to
make
sure
that
it's
is
informative
and
that
council
has
the
opportunity
to
get
all
of
their
questions
answered
so
that
we
understand
what
we're
looking
at
going
forward
and
how
to
move
forward
as
best
we
can.

both
the
conflict
of
interest
and
appearance
of
a
conflict
of
interest
and
acceptance
of
any
city
grants
or
city
funding
by
council
members
or
their
immediate
family
members,
or
the
acceptance
of
funding
from
vendors
or
other
entities.
The
city
materials
supports
materially
supports
and
the
direct
city
manager
and
the
attorney
to
put
together
some
language
for
an
amendment
for
discussion.
I
AF
AN
Thank
you
mayor.
I
can't
support
this
in
its
existing
format.
It
it's
almost
like
discrimination
in
its
wildest
form.
You
know
we
all
pay
taxes
but
then
carve
out
these
people
because
they
somehow
are
in
the
city
council.
Then
they
get
no
benefit.
That's
that
doesn't
make
sense
to
me
and
who
wouldn't
want
to
improve
their
neighborhood.
That's
what
the
whole
invest
dsm
program
is
about.
AN
Everybody
would
be
improving
and
raising
the
property
values
which
increases
the
property
taxes.
You
know
what,
as
as
that
goes
forward,
you
have
people
that
can
make
improvements
that
help
the
entire
city.
That's
what
I
don't
quite
understand.
You
know,
especially
let's
say
I
got
one.
I
would
only
see
any
benefit
when
I
sell
the
place
in
the
meantime,
I'm
paying
higher
property
taxes
because
of
the
increased
valuation.
AN
What
troubles
me
a
little
bit
is
the
fact
that
you
know
I
could
be
a
homeowner
or
and
not
get
this,
but
I
can
let
a
an
out
of
town
or
an
even
out
of
state
landlord
that
would
get
quite
get
to
have
this
program
to
work
on
their
rental
property.
They'd
increase
the
the
value
to
the
land,
the
tenant,
the
tenant
has
to
pay
higher
rent,
and
then
these
people
take
all
that
money
out
of
des
moines
and
use
it.
AN
That's
you
know
that's
what
I'm
scratching
my
head
on,
and
I
just
you
know
if
you're,
if
you're
starting
to
look
at
that
and
you're
limiting
it
to
immediate
family
members.
What's
to
say,
I'm
not
going
to
help
a
friend
out
that
leaves
that
door
kind
of
wide
open.
You
know
where
you
go
down
the
line
on
that
really
gets
messy.
AN
I
would
consider
something
that
if
one
member
of
the
council
got
a
program
and
was
directly
and
they
pushed
us
through
and
it
only
applied
to
them,
I
agree
I
mean
that's,
that's
where
we're
at,
but
if
it's
a
city-wide
program,
I
don't
see
why
we
shouldn't
be
a
part
of
it.
So
that's
why
I'm
not!
I
don't
support
this
and
it's
it's
in
its
form.
If
it's
modified,
I
could
look
at
it,
but
that's
what
my
view.
I
I
guess
I
was
more
leaning
towards
if
it's
not
a
citywide
program
and
there's
specified
amount
and
there's
only
so
much
to
give
out,
then
we
do
have
an
unfair.
You
could
be
perceived
as
unfair
advantage
and
would
be
maybe
given
something.
So
I
think
it's
the
appearance
of
a
conflict
becomes
as
real
as
a
possibly.
The
conflict
is
probably
more
the
appearance.
So
that's
why.
AN
I
would
agree
with
connie
that
that,
if
there's
an
appearance
of
it,
but
if
there
isn't
legally
that's
what
I
want
legal
to
to
go
through
if
it's,
if
it's
legal
in
every
step
of
the
way,
I'm
I'd
see
no
reason.
Why
not
don't
we
want
to
improve
our
city?
That's
what
the
whole
thing.
That's!
What
the
whole
thing
when
invest
dsm
was
about
raise
the
value
of
the
neighborhoods,
where
they're
going
to
appreciate
in
assessed
value
where
we're
going
to
get
increased
property.
I
C
AE
I
appreciate
that
so
the
city
attorney
and
myself
can
can
put
together
some
clarity
and
a
policy
that
would
allow
staff
then
to
know
how
to
administrate
the
different
programs
across
the
city
and
and
how
how
those
should
be
handled.
So
we
will
put
that
draft
together
and
what
the
options
are
and
then
probably
have
a
workshop
on.
It
would
be
my
suggestion
before
we
would
make
it
before
any
policy.
AF
D
Yeah,
I
would
say
that
we're
just
receiving
filing
this
and
then
the
language
will
come
before
us
and
I
would
suggest
mayor
as
that
language
comes
before
us.
Maybe
we
can
have
a
workshop
that
would
address
something
like
this
or
during
our
strategic
planning.
Maybe
we
can
have
a
discussion
about
this
policy,
but
ultimately,
if
this
is
about
nfc
or
ndc
or
invest
dsm,
they
have
a
separate
board
that
would
okay
grants
or
funding
to
individuals.
C
AF
C
I
Again
mayor,
I
just
want
to
say
it's
to
get
clarity
as
joe
brought
up
the
other
groups
that
mr
gray
or
bill
brought
up.
They
have
their
own
board,
they
can
set
their
own
rules
and
regulations
and
bylaws.
So
this
is
really
just
to
get
clarity
for
us
as
a
council,
because
questions
have
come
up
from
some
of
these
other
entities
so
and
it
could
come
back
so
until
we
have
more
information,
I
would
think
it
would
be
best
to
have
the
proper
language
drafted
before
we
have
a
lot
of
comments.
Carl.
F
Oh
thank
you,
mayor
county,
so
the
previous
agenda
item
we
handled
was
regarding
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions
that
was
a
receive
and
file
and
ask
for
staff
staff
input,
and
so
on
that
particular
case
we
did
not
take
cut
comments
from
the
public.
So
if,
if
if
what
we
just
did
on
item,
45
has
any
weight,
I
think
we
should
just
go
ahead
and
move
this
item
and
seek
input
from
the
public
in
giving
us
direction.
Thank
you.
AF
Well,
I
I.
I
still
feel
that
it's
important.
I
think
that
there
are
some
issues
that
are
at
hand
that
are
very
important
to
people,
and
you
know,
let's
just
call
it
what
it
is.
We
know
that
a
family
member
has
has
some
interest
in
purchasing
a
property
and
was
told
by
invest,
dsm,
hey,
I
hate
to
be
the
bearer
of
bad
news
when
there
isn't
even
a
policy
in
place-
and
I
I
guess
I'm
just
a
little
confused
and
I'm
confused
about
item
46
because
are
we
talking
about
tax
abatement?
AF
S
D
D
There's
some
things
in
here,
obviously
that
that
are
problematic
for
others
in
in
including
myself,
but
those
are
those
things
are
going
to
be
worked
out
as
we
go
through
the
process,
and
I
I
think
connie's
just
brought
this
up
to
to
start
drafting
a
little
bit
of
language
and
start
having
some
discussion.
So
we
do
have
a
policy
because,
unfortunately,
there's
never
been
a
policy
and
I've
been
a
victim
and
my
business
has
been
a
victim
as
part
of
that
and
I've
never
applied
for
anything
else.
D
I
didn't
apply
for
any
other
grants
that,
during
this
covid
through
the
city,
just
because
I
don't
want
to
have
an
appearance
of
a
conflict
of
interest,
so
I
did
not
do
it,
but
we've
never
had
a
policy
at
the
city
and
it's
we
need
to
discuss
it,
but
we
do
need
to
get
it
right.
Immediate,
family
members
and
things
like
that.
I
mean
we
need
to
have
a
discussion
about
that.
D
C
I
C
K
I
K
A
D
C
C
AE
This
is
a
great
opportunity
for
the
city
to
start
the
process
of
reviewing
our
city
policies
or
services,
programs,
practices
and
delivery
of
services
by
creating
an
equity
lens,
much
similarity
to
how
we
have
a
financial
lens
to
all
decisions
that
we
make
at
the
city.
We
will
now
be
creating
an
equity
lens,
so
this
is
our
starting
point.
AE
The
framework
is
designed
to
give
explanation
and
more
detail
behind
the
data.
The
goals
toolkits
that
we
can
create
the
services.
We
provide
participation
that
we
ask
for
and
the
policies
that
we
design
at
the
city.
So
this
is
again
the
first
step,
I'm
very
anxious
to
set
our
equitable
service
team
in
motion
to
then
take
it
from
the
framework
into
actual
policies
and
service
level
impacts
for
our
residents.
AE
AE
There
are
conversations
that
are
being
started
with
our
business
partners
about
equity,
especially
at
the
ceo
level
and
the
hr
executive
level,
and
so
this
is
a
very
timely
conversation
to
have,
even
though
the
city
of
des
moines
has
been
at
this
for
for
some
time
now.
So
again,
I
appreciate
the
support
on
this
and
see.
This
is
just
the
first
step
of
many
such
that
our
residents
here
in
des
moines
can
fulfill
their
full
potential
through
their
basic
needs
and
their
well-being.
C
C
H
P
I
just
really
want
to
affirm
as
a
non-white
member
of
des
moines,
that
this
gives
me
some
hope
that
there
is
a
forward
direction
for
people
like
me
in
this
community
and
for
making
this
a
community
for
me
to
be
safe
and
to
thrive
in
to
work
and
to
maybe
have
a
family
in.
So
I
do
want
to
just
offer
support.
P
I
have
found
that
that
is
something
that's
very
important
to
make
sure
that
people
like
me,
who
want
to
offer
feedback
and
also
maybe
partake
in
some
of
this
work,
can
be
a
part
of
this
as
well
for
bringing
equity
to
all
people
in
our
community.
I
was
just
curious
how
this
equity
lens
also
has
built
into
it
some
transparency
for
the
public.
Thank
you.
H
Q
Q
O
Hello
hi:
this
is
jalen
my
pronouns.
Are
he
him
appreciate
y'all
unmuting
me
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
once
again
address
the
council.
Speaking
on
46
I
and
the
approving
of
the
new
des
moines
equity
framework.
I
will
say
that
this
sounds
like
a
great
first
step.
It
does
make
me
happy
to
hear
that
the
des
moines
city,
council
and
the
city
is
working
on
this
and
and
going
to
adopt
this
new
equity
framework
and
working
out
of
this
new
equity
lens.
I
think
this
is
extremely
important
and
long
overdue.
O
I
will
say
that
I
really
do
hope
that
you
all
do
not
just
think
that
this
is
something
that
would
be
enough
or
or
y'all
aren't
thinking
in
a
more
broader
scope.
I
would
definitely
encourage
all
to
not
only
look
at
the
services
and
amenities
that
the
city
is
offering
and
making
those
equitable,
but
looking
at
every
aspect
of
city
government
and
making
that
equitable,
I
do
know
that
our
civil
and
human
rights
department
is
severely
underfunded
at
the
moment.
O
I
think
that
if
we
were
able
to
get
them
more
funding,
we
would
be
able
to
do
more
projects.
Like
this
and
make
our
city
more
equitable
for
everyone,
a
good
place
to
get
some
money
for
the
civil
human
rights
budget
would
be
from
the
des
moines
police
department
budget.
I'm
just
a
recommendation
to
council.
As
you
are
looking
at
new
budget
reallocation
money.
O
For
the
city
council,
we
have
seen
some
problematic
things
from
the
city
council
and
I
think
that
having
an
equity
framework
or
an
equity
lenses,
you
all
want
to
put
it
and
really
making
sure
that
that's
ingrained
into
the
members
of
city
council,
I
think,
would
really
go
a
long
way
into
improving
how
relationships
are
with
between
the
city,
council
and
constituents.
You
know,
like
we've
seen
on
this
call
already
some
folks
don't
really
have
a
good
understanding
of
discrimination.
O
C
L
Hi
yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I'm
really
happy
that
the
city
of
des
moines
is
adopting
an
ibm
work,
and
I
wanted
to
extend
my
thanks
to
the
staff
for
taking
the
initiative
on
this.
When
I
was
doing
communication,
it
looked
like
you
guys
had
had
a
lot
of
meetings
over
the
last
a
while
it
looked.
So
I'm
really
grateful
that
this
is
something
that
you
guys
are
focusing
on.
L
I
think
that
these
are
the
type
of
things
that
I
and
people
in
my
community
are
really
happy
to
see
you
guys
doing.
This
is
the
kinds
of
things
that
make
us
feel
like
des.
Moines
is
for
us
as
well,
so
I
should
see
that
you
guys
are
adopting
hope.
You
guys
are
adopting
this
equity
framework
and
I
think
that
it's
a
good
start
just
making
our
city
more
applicable
towards
everyone.
Thank.
C
AO
Hi,
I
just
want
to
echo
what
other
people
have
said.
My
name
is
murphy
burke,
my
pronouns.
Are
she
her
hers?
Looking
at
the
equity
framework,
I
just
want
to
focus
mostly
on
the
data,
the
services
and
the
policy
section
of
this.
So
on
the
data
when
it
comes
to
evaluating
the
delivery
of
city
services.
AO
W
Yeah
I
want
to
go
ahead
and
uplift
the
comments
that
was
made
previously
before
me.
I
think
that
and
lines
of
inequitable
delivery
and
things
you
know
our
police
department
are
are
the
biggest
defenders
here
but
yeah.
I
want
to
go
ahead
and
thank
the
council
for
taking
this
first
step.
I
I
definitely
support
this
and
then
I
want
to
raise
concern
and
kind
of
just
reiterate
the
fact
that
I
think
that
when
establishing
a
framework,
you
should
be
looking
to
your
constituents,
especially
your
black
and
brown
constituents.
W
You
know
for
input
on
on
how
to
actually
successfully
implement
this
this
framework,
because
you
know
they're
primarily
affected.
We
want
to
make
this
study
a
better
place
for
them
to
live,
and
we
have
seen
problematic,
problematic
actions
and
language
and
just
general
attitudes
from
members
of
the
council.
So
you
know
I.
M
Hi,
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
I
think
it's
a
really
good
idea
to
adopt
equity
framework
here
in
des
moines.
Really
it
would
just
be
a
really
good
thing
for
all
of
your
citizens.
I
think
you've
heard
a
lot
of
support
for
this,
so
I
really
hope
that
you
take
that
into
consideration
and
adopt
this
equity
framework
as
it'll
help
all
of
your
constituents
really.
So
thank
you.
C
AJ
Yeah
hi,
I
just
my
name-
is
miranda
and
I'm
they
them
pronouns.
I
just
wanted
to
also
voice
my
approval
of
this
equilibrial
delivery
plan.
The
one
concern
I
did
have
was
obviously
especially
as
a
majority,
if
you're
a
white,
I
my
concern
is
that
in
making
this
framework,
we
are
not
consulting
enough
with
the
black
communities
and
the
the
poc
communities,
and
that
also
goes
for
lgbtq,
etc,
etc,
and
drafting
up
these
framework
policies.
AJ
So,
as
a
white
person,
I
think
it's
important
that
we
not
speak
over
the
people
of
color
in
these
issues,
and
so
towards
that
end
I
would
encourage
more
conversation
with
the
leaders
of
black
lives
matter
communities,
the
other
indigenous
communities
here
in
des
moines,
and
maybe
get
more
input
from
them
on
what
would
be
considered
appropriate
actions
towards
that
plan
of
equity.
Thank
you.
H
AM
Good
evening,
good
evening,
council,
so
yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
it
is
important
for
constituents
in
the
city
of
quote-unquote
marginalized
communities.
They
should
be
at
the
table
and
there
should
they
should
be
kind
of
leading
this
work.
You
should
be
hearing
from
them
first
and
I
think
a
good
example
would
be
the
town
halls
that
have
been
held.
The
last
couple
weekends,
that's
a
great
example
of
a
model
to
follow.
AM
I
know
a
lot
of
folks
are
not
comfortable
speaking
in
these
settings
because
of
the
racist
comments
and
acts
by
yeah
folks
running
the
meetings
and
folks
who
get
out
in
the
meetings.
So
we
got
to
make
sure
that
we
protect
our
people
and
make
sure
people
are
safe
and
comfortable
to
open
up
and
share,
because
that's
where
the
learning
starts
and
that's
where
this
type
of
work
equity
work
can
begin.
Thank
you.
K
AP
Hi,
can
you
hear
me
hi
my
name's
amanda
she
her
pronouns
and
I
came
in
right
as
whatever
his
name
is,
was
discussing
discrimination
in
the
wildest
nature,
and
I
am
just
completely
flabbergasted
that
you
guys
were
talking
about
buildings.
So
that's
all
I
have
to
say,
and
that
is
just
absolutely
ridiculous,
but
thank
you.
AQ
AQ
I
don't
care
where
you
get
the
money,
preferably
you
take
it
from
their
budget
because
they're,
the
ones
that
need
it
finding
and
utilizing
experts
from
outside
the
city
of
des
moines,
I
think,
would
also
be
imperative,
but,
like
the
previous
couple's
callers
had
said,
accessing
the
the
various
community
members
that
are
going
to
be
the
most
impacted
and
feel
the
possible
successes
of
this
framework.
Those
people
also
need
to
be
at
the
table,
and
just
I'm
just
gonna
throw
this
out.
AQ
C
AR
Hi
rachel
weipon
she
her
hers,
pronouns.
I
would
also
like
to
uplift
what
the
past
speakers
have
said
supporting
this
and
also
just.
I
would
like
to
reiterate
the
importance
that
we
make
sure
that
the
people
that
will
be
impacted,
so
our
poc
friends
and
neighbors,
and
indigenous
people
and
everyone
around
us
who
has
been
impacted
by
not
having
this
in
place,
be
brought
to
the
table.
AR
First,
I
this
summer
have
seen
such
strong
leadership
from
these
communities
and
such
incredible
new
ideas
about
how
we
can
make
this
community
a
good
place
to
live
for
everybody
and
include
not
including
them
would
be
a
huge
disservice,
as
well
as
a
major
issue
and
yeah.
That's
that's
all
I
have
thank
you.
AI
Hi,
thank
you
so
much
so.
Yes,
lily
nellen.
She,
her
pronouns
I'd
like
to
echo
everyone's
com
comments,
that
this
is
a
great
move
forward.
I'm
super
happy
that
this
is
up
for
discussion
and
you
guys
should
definitely
adopt
this,
though
I
just
want
to
reiterate
on
what
people
have
said,
that
this
is
a
starting
point
and
not
the
final
acts
towards
insuring
equity
in
des
moines,
and
I'd
also
like
to
highlight
that
when
y'all
were
discussing
this,
you
mentioned
that
there's
already
a
financial
lens.
AI
That's
used
to
make
des
moines
decisions
about
des
moines
government
and
spending,
which
I
think
says
a
lot
about
why
we
are
where
we
are
right
now
and
I
also
think
going
forward.
It
needs
to
be
clarified
that
if
the
financial
lens
and
the
equity
lens
are
pointing
in
different
directions,
that
the
equity
lens
is
the
one
that
takes
priority,
because
I
would
hope
we
can
all
agree
that
people's
lives
and
equity
are
more
important
than
money
and
financial
decisions
and
the
goal
of
the
city
is
not
to
make
a
profit.
A
K
A
J
K
C
Right
that
brings
us
to
our
public
speaking
items.
We
kind
of
went
over
that
before.
So
all
those
wishing
to
speak
have
asked
to
be
included
on
the
on
the
agenda
and
we
only
be
calling
on
those
who
did
register
to
speak
this
evening.
So
because
of
the
number
of
speakers
this
evening,
everybody's
going
to
get
about
a
minute
and
20
seconds
or
to
speak
and
have
your
comments.
So
we're
going
to
try
to
keep
out
of
your
way
and
let
you
speak.
C
C
A
C
D
N
Thank
you,
so,
I'm
speaking
on
funding
the
police,
because
it's
been
months
now
since
police
violence
has
just
been
rampant
throughout
throughout
des
moines,
and
it
was
already
bad
in
the
first
place.
We've
seen
really
bad
situations
since
may,
and
I
really
think
we
need
some
way
to
hold
the
police
accountable
and
I
haven't
heard
any
other
suggestion
from
council
of
a
way
to
hold
them
accountable.
N
I
think
that
I
could
maybe
take
seriously
people
not
wanting
to
defund
the
police
if
they
had
an
alternate
path
to
resolving
the
violence,
such
as
the
tear-gassing
of
black
children,
but
there
really
doesn't
seem
to
be
any
other
path.
That's
before
us,
so
I
think
defending
the
police
is
really
our
only
choice
at
this
point,
starting
to
cut
away
some
of
their
budget
whenever
they're
violent
against
citizens
like
they've,
been
this
year.
N
Also
also
just
wanted
to
speak
to
the
fact
that
we
know
to
find
solutions
that
work
for
our
community.
We
need
to
hear
from
community
members
and
that
the
unchecked
power
of
the
police
is
one
of
the
many
things
that's
used
to
silence
community
voices.
We
can't
have
free
speech
or
assembly
when
people
who
speak
or
assemble
must
risk
harassment,
spying
theft,
imprisonment
and
assault
from
dmpd
actions.
N
Council
has
all
found
no
way
to
respond
to
dmpd
is
encouraged
to
write
their
own
rules
such
as
a
crowd
control
policy,
and
if
they
break
their
own
rules,
nothing
really
happens
to
them
and
also
according
to
the
new
rules
invented
by
the
council.
I
would
ask
everyone
to
understand
what
these
rules
would
look
like
when
we're
no
longer
virtual,
zoom,
silencing
and
banning
will
be
reflected
as
cops
dragging
speakers
out
of
the
council
chambers.
Such
actions
will
break
down.
A
K
A
A
AS
Molly
you're
on
hello,
yes
hi!
This
is
molly
arndt.
I
use
here
they
pronouns
and
I
live
in
ward
one.
So,
first
off,
I
would
like
to
simply
lend
my
support
for
the
100
clean
energy
resolution.
Just
real
quick
wanted
to
throw
that
in
there
and
then
I
would
also
like
to
discuss
public
health.
The
primary
purpose
of
the
des
moines
city
council
should
be
to
ensure
the
safety
of
their
constituents
by
refusing
to
respond
to
calls
to
defund
the
police
for
residents
of
des
moines.
AS
They
are
allowing
the
rampant
violence
and
corruption
of
the
dmpd
to
terrorize.
The
city
known
abuser,
paul
parizek,
was
recently
fined
a
hundred
dollars
for
violating
iowa's
open
records
law
in
his
role
as
public
information
officer
of
the
dmpd
after
trying
to
cover
up
an
unprovoked
attack
by
officers.
This
is
just
one
incident
in
dmpd's:
incredibly,
racist,
violent
history,
ranking
number
14
in
the
nation
in
incidence
of
violence
and
number
one
in
the
nation
in
racial
disparity
of
arrests.
AS
AH
AH
AI
AI
And
I
think
you
can
easily
understand
that
the
dmpd
and
other
police
departments
across
this
country
fit
into
that
category.
So
I
think,
if
you're
someone
who
is
concerned
about
preventing
genocide
or
one
of
those
people
who
like
to
say
like
never
again
or
what
I
would
have
done
during
the
holocaust,
you
need
to
think
about
what
you're
doing
now
and
how
you're
going
to
prevent
a
police-led
massacre
from
happening.
C
K
C
AT
Okay,
well,
you
know
ever
since
these
protests
have
started
the
the
des
moines
police
department
will
have
done
it
before
that
too,
but
they
use
these.
You
know
vague,
simple
misdemeanor
charges.
You
know,
like
disorderly,
conduct,
interference
of
that
knowing
full
well
that
these
charges
will
end
up
getting
dismissed
and
that
the
person
that
they're
arresting
is
not
a
threat
to
the
public
in
any
anyway
and
and
they,
but
they
know
that
that
person
can
now
gonna
have
an
arrest
record.
AT
You
know
everybody's
seen
what
des
moines
police
department
does
to
people,
especially
at
the
protests
when
they're
going
into
people's
elevators
and
arresting
people.
You
know
all
because
they
lost
their
temper
or
somebody
called
them
a
name,
and
you
know
police
are
not
judged
during
execution
or
they.
You
know
it's
not
up
to
them
to
be
harassing.
People
like
this.
A
AU
Hi
haley
they
them.
I
was
going
to
speak
on
police
defunding,
but
I
don't
think
you're
going
to
listen.
I
like
to
believe
that
people
can
change,
but
for
you,
I
city
council.
I
think
it's
too
late.
If
you
don't
see
your
own
hypocrisy
and
if
you
don't
see
your
own
hands
role
in
silencing
the
voice
of
your
constituents,
if
you
don't
see
the
systemic
racism
in
our
so-called
justice
system,
then
you're
too
late,
you
haven't
been
paying
attention.
AU
You
haven't
been
listening
and
you've
made
it
clear
with
your
new
restrictive
rules
that
you
never
will
it's
disgusting
to
me
that
many
of
you
claim
faith
and
still
fail
to
correctly
identify
the
oppressed
and
the
oppressor
whose
side
are
you
on?
If
you
only
not
only
uphold
racist
institutions
but
also
limit
and
suppress
the
people's
voice,
I
hope
you
take
the
time
to
reflect
on
who
you're
trying
to
protect
and
who
you're
trying
to
silence.
Is
there
a
pattern
because
we
see
one.
AL
A
C
C
B
M
M
C
M
Hi,
okay,
so
22
speakers
have
signed
up
for
this
meeting
in
part
to
highlight
how
restrictive
your
rules
for
speaking
time
are.
We
had
80
seconds
each
to
speak,
which
is
not
enough
time
clearly
to
get
our
points
across.
Since
many
people
have
been
cut
off.
It's
clear
to
me
that
many
of
you
are
not
interested
in
any
part
of
your
job.
That
includes
interaction
with
the
public,
for
example
in
your
meeting
this
morning,
when
it
was
suggested
that
you
not
host
town
halls
for
the
city
budget
because
of
an
increase
in
public
interest.
M
That
would
make
the
meetings
too
long.
So
I
have
a
few
demands.
First,
is
that
overall,
constituent
request
time
must
be
extended
to
at
least
one
hour.
Individual
constituent
speaking
time
must
be
extended
back
to
five
minutes
per
speaker.
Public
input
must
be
accepted
for
every
input
of
the
agenda
other
than
the
consent.
The
city
attorney
must
rule
on
the
germanness
of
comments,
not
the
presiding
officer
and
in
online
meetings,
when
public
input
is
called
for.
M
Adequate
time
must
be
given
for
constituents
to
raise
their
hand
before
the
matter
is
voted
on
and
those
who
raise
their
hands
at
the
wrong
time
must
not
be
deemed
as
disruptive.
So
those
are
my
demands
for
your
city,
council
and
I'll
be
emailing,
those
to
you
as
well.
I
really
think
that
this
is
important
and
you
guys
need
to
be
listening
to
your
constituents.
Thank
you.
C
W
Okay,
sorry
about
that,
like
I
said
I'm
at
work,
so
I
apologize
about
the
swollen
meeting
time
so
yeah.
I
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
just
really
update
the
fact
that
there's
so
many
people
here
who
care
so
much
about
the
city
and
who
only
have
a
minute
to
speak
in
front
of
you
who
are
supposed
to
be
our
representatives,
and
you
know
when
it
comes
down
to
it
really.
W
The
only
thing
I
have
to
say
is
I'm
angry
and
the
people
around
me
I
know,
are
angry
and
we're
hurting
and
if
you
don't
want
to
listen
to
the
pain
that
you
know,
this
city
is
causing
the
people
here.
You
know
physical
injuries,
emotional
injuries.
If
you
don't
want
to
listen
to
that,
find
a
different
job,
and
if
you
don't
want
to
find
a
different
job.
R
Hi,
my
name
is
carter.
My
pronouns
are
he
him,
and
I
would
definitely
just
like
to
reiterate
the
demands
that
peyden
put
forth,
and
I
really
hope
that
each
council
member
looks
through
that
email
and
understands
how
the
new
rules
have
really
affected
participation
in
these
meetings.
For
example,
I
signed
up
for
this
meeting
and
I
had
no
idea
how
much
time
I
would
be
allotted
to
go
over
what
I
wanted
to
go
over.
R
R
If
someone
raises
their
hand
in
a
meeting,
because
that
option
is
there
for
them,
they
should
not
be
removed
from
a
meeting.
Instead,
they
should
not
have
the
option
to
raise
their
hands
asl
interpreters.
Why
have
we
not
had
an
asl
interpreters?
I
understand
that
closed
captionings
are
available,
but
they
are
not
an
alternative
to
asl
interpretation.
R
C
AM
All
right,
thank
you,
yeah,
so
I
wanted
to
speak
on
the
resolution
for
100
carbon
free
energy,
so
wealthy
and
affluent
nations,
like
america,
have
done
the
most
damage.
They've
admitted
the
most
emissions
that
are
leading
leading
us
towards
this
path
of
destruction,
and
we
have
the
most
power
to
change
that
at
our
current
current
rates,
we're
nowhere
close
to
like
maintaining
a
habitable
planet
and
what
we're
going
to
see
in
our
lifetime.
The
next
20
years
is
hundreds
of
millions
of
people
displaced
forever.
Their
lives
and
livelihoods
gone
here
in
des
moines.
AM
The
30
000,
plus
people
who
live
in
poverty
are
going
to
be
hit
hardest
by
climate
change.
It's
going
to
affect
the
most
vulnerable,
who
are
which
will
have
a
disparate
impact
on
people
of
color
because
of
the
racist
history
of
america
and
those
in
power.
Right
now.
The
choices
you
make
are
going
to
affect
the
rest
of
our
life,
the
next
generation
and
potentially
the
rest
of
humankind.

Hello,
giovanni
behenna,
long-time
resident
south
of
des
moines
pc
day
interchangeably
during
the
great
depression
fdr,
was
able
to
offer
work
to
small
sections
of
the
population
through
the
wpa
and
different
federal
projects
brought
the
arts
and
humanities
to
communities
that
hadn't
had
access
prior,
though
not
nearly
enough.
During
the
aids
epidemic,
the
world
lost
generations
worth
of
artists,
predominantly
queer
bipoc.
AV
Our
current
health
and
economic
crisis
put
us
in
a
position
where
we
could
lose
more
arts
venues
and
working
artists
in
the
city
of
des
moines.
I
believe
this
council
should
look
into
creating
publicly
funded
art
and
performance
venues
that
are
accessible
to
for
and
by
the
public,
so
that
any
challenge
that
the
city
faces
in
the
future
does
not
put
the
artistic
scene
into
jeopardy.
The
art
scene
is
what
made
and
makes
des
moines
vibrant,
and
if
we
lose
it,
then
we
are
nothing
more
than
what
they
say
about
us
fly
over
country.

Hello,
my
name
is
india,
shoemaker
pronounciator
city
council.
You
are
our
elected
representatives.
Your
job
is
to
represent
the
interests
and
concerns
of
your
constituents.
That
means
those
who
cut
out
out
of
their
weak
to
research
to
come
to
these
meetings
and
those
fall
in
from
work
because
they
don't
have
the
time
of
their
lives.
When
you
continue
to
respond
to
your
residence
using
their
voices
with
suppression.
Through
your
rules
and
through
your
blatant
disregard
for
constituents
who
reach
out
to
you
and
only
other
ways,
you
can
reduce
email
phone.
L
It
shows
you
do
not
stand
democracy
in
des
moines.
Some
of
you
say
you
can't
want
every

every

Why
then,
do
not
have
institutions
in
place
to
reach
out
to
your
constituents,

halls,
information
for
items
being
considered
on
the
agenda?
You
are
seven
people
who
represent
over
200
thousand
residents
in
the
city.
Your
special
interests
are
not
a
priority.
Your
votes
belong
to
us,
listen.

On
tuesday
october
13th,
a
black
state
of
emergency
was
declared
in
iowa
as
a
citizen
of
des
moines.
I'm
outraged
that
part
of
our
community
continues
to
go
unheard
as
they
declare
their
safety
and
human
rights
at
risk.
The
fact
that
they
are
taking
steps
to
protect
themselves
from
hate
crimes
is
a
disgrace.
We
are
outraged
october
10th.
Our
minority
community
organizes
safe
space
for
all
people
to
be
heard
as
a
lifelong
resident
of
the
city,
I'm
asking
you
to
wake
up
and
realize
what
these
coalitions
are
begging
for.
AD
Our
protests
are
action
of
love
and
represent
people.
This
community,
who
often
go
without
their
position
being
heard
they
should
be
honored
and
replicated
not
criminalized
and
persecuted.
I'm
asking
the
council
to
work
with
these
coalitions
and
directly
implement
their
recommendations
that
will
make
our
community
safe
for
all.
I
also
would
encourage
the
city
council
to
learn
critical
race
theory
and
how
your
actions
and
decisions
impact
people
of
color
racial
inequalities
often
are
categorized
as
a
natural
process
rather
than
a
byproduct
of
systemic
racism.
Council.
You
are
the
system,
you
are
the
ones
impacting
change.
AD
You
are
the
ones
who
can
make
this
community
safe
for
all
people,
taking
funds
away
from
being
dmpd
and
funding
non-violent
community-based
organizations
that
are
trained
in
de-escalation
and
mental
health
is
the
solution
we've
been
telling
you
for
months.
Black
members
of
this
community
should
not
have
to
declare
a
state
of
emergency
if
you'd
been
listening,
they
wouldn't
have
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
I
yield
my
time.
C
AW
What
up
guys?
I
I
know
mr
mandelbaum
intended
to
speak
on
the
issue
of
protest
permits,
but
declined
to
do
so
early
today.
So
I
kind
of
wanted
to
touch
on
how
ridiculous
the
actual
process
of
applying
for
a
protest
limit
is
now
the
the
city
policy
in
des
moines
requires
well
over
500
of
non-refundable
deposits.
90
days
notice,
this
page,
where
you
firm
a
legal
permitted
protest.
AW
AW
P
I
bring
this
up
because,
as
we've
seen
tonight,
that
city
council
didn't
even
actually
vote
on
whether
or
not
to
pull
23i
and
33,
both
two
amendments
and
the
consent
items
earlier.
We
actually
only
voted
to
pass
or
fail
all
the
consent
items,
and
so
I
just
actually
have
a
lot
of
questions
about
the
current
policies,
procedures
and
rulings
of
the
city
council
which,
according
to
you,
has
been
working
on
an
actual
equity
lines
for
the
past
two
years
and
yet
is
using
its
power
to
actively
silence.
X
Hello
and
thank
you-
I
have
found
that
earlier
this
year,
you,
the
city
council,
okayed
a
an
item
to
use
millions
of
dollars.
Hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars-
excuse
me
for
ammunitions
for
the
police,
most
recently,
you've
also
accepted,
or
you
would
like
to
accept
a
federal
grant
for
millions
of
dollars
for
homeland
security.
Okay.
X
C
H
O
Hi
jalen,
he
him
okay.
I
know
you've
misgendered
some
folks
on
here,
so
please
remember
the
pronouns
he
him
yeah.
So
I
just
wanted
to
read
something
real
quick.
It
says
the
des
moines
police
department's
public
information
officer
has
been
fined
and
ordered
to
pay
the
legal
costs
for
denying
the
public
access
to
body
cam
video
from
officers
involved
in
a
controversial
2018
arrest.
O
This
was
the
news
that
we
saw
earlier
this
past
week,
seeing
the
disturbing
video
of
des
moines
police
department
officers
beating
up
a
young
black
man
who
was
minding
his
own
business
at
the
farmers
market.
This
video
was
withheld
and
paul
parizek
violated
the
law.
By
withholding
this
video,
you
all
have
a
major
issue
right
now,
because
paul
perezik
is
viewed
as
a
joke
by
the
public
and
the
media.
He
is
not
respected
and
people
do
not
view
him
as
a
reputable
source.
O
He
has
been
accused
credibly
by
his
own
son,
for
committing
child
abuse.
He
has
lied
knowingly
many
times
to
the
press.
You
all
need
to.
You
all,
have
the
responsibility
of
holding
the
des
moines
police
department
accountable.
That
means
that
you
need
to
tell
dana
wingard
to
fire
paul
bruzik,
remove
him
from
that
seat.
You
all
need
to
have
scott
sanders
fire
dana
wingard.
Then
the
council
must
remove
scott
sanders
as
city
manager.
O
These
things
must
happen
because
we've
seen
throughout
this
summer
that
there
has
been
no
action
from
the
des
moines
city
council
in
response
to
the
des
moines
police,
department's
abuse
and
violence
that
they've
committed
to
citizens
of
des
moines.
This
is
not
okay,
you
all
say
time
and
time
again
that
you're
committed
to
some
kind
of
racial
justice
committed
to
equality,
but
you
do
not.
