A
B
We
got
a
wide
variety
of
things
that
I
think
that
that
should
be
part
of
our
discussion
and
I
would
invite
the
rest
of
you
to
add
a
couple
of
years,
Ott's
on
how
we
best
protect
their
health
well-being
in
the
citizens
and
the
vendors
and
make
this
not
ten
into
right
back
into
the
Mardi
Gras
kind
of
an
event.
So,
let's
all
see
what
we
can
do
here.
Okay,
so.
A
Are
we?
Are
we
just
a
clarification?
Mr.
mayor
I
appreciate
those
comments?
Very
very,
very
much
I
would
agree
with
you
100%.
Just
a
clarification.
Are
we
passing
our
own
guidelines
for
the
farmers
market,
or
are
we
going
to
work
with
with
them
and
and
with
the
governor's
on,
what
do
we
I
mean?
Are
we
gonna
pass
our
own
rules
for
des
moines,
I
I.
B
You
know
thank
the
governor
for
acknowledging
the
importance
of
of
providing
you
know
fresh
produce
to
our
citizens
and
it
amines
and
probably
from
some
of
the
purveyors
that
they've
shopped
with
for
years,
but
at
the
same
time
even
our
Police
Department
has
a
say
so
here,
because
if
they
don't
feel
that
the
health
and
well-being
is
being
protected,
they've
got
a
huge
say
in
whether
or
not
this
thing
goes
on,
because
we
permit
them
to
operate
and
there
has
been
no
permit
issued.
Yet.
B
B
B
E
These
are
conversations
we
had
actually
back
a
few
months:
nothing
drastic
on
the
housing
budgets.
This
one
input
Killer,
is
simply
amending
the
current
year
and
the
next
item
will
be
for
implementing
the
next
fiscal
year,
starting
July
1
I
do
have
Chris
Johansen
on
the
line
as
well.
If
there
are
questions
about.
B
E
C
B
C
B
B
B
F
B
B
B
B
F
G
D
C
B
B
All
right,
if
someone
would
give
us
a
motion
to
adjourn
that,
would
complete
the
full
agenda
for
the
Miss
full
housing
agent
C
governing
board.
No,
it's
been
moved
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
aye
in
the
opposition
hearing.
None.
This
meeting
is
adjourned.
We
will
reconvene
in
about
well,
we
might
as
well
just
move
right
into
it.
Okay,
it's
429,
and
by
the
time
we
do
everything.
I've
just
got
to
quickly
adjust
my
screen
here
to
get
back
to
the
right
agenda.
H
B
F
B
B
E
Yeah,
sir
mayor
the
so
we
have
several
of
this
meds
all
of
this
minutes
as
part
of
our
budget
approvals
that
are
necessary,
and
so
each
one
of
them
carries
their
own
finances
Beaverdale,
just
the
first.
That
of
all
the
the
grouping
were
able
to
answer
questions
again.
These
were
talked
about
couple
months
ago
with
each
of
the
Smiths
individually.
F
J
F
H
E
If
I
could
add
to
that,
the
Scott
you're
exactly
right,
so
the
the
two
that
our
budget
would
be
the
downtown
and
the
ingersoll
that
do
have
some
some
of
their
own
autonomy
to
make
those
decisions.
So
we
asked
them
to
submit
their
budgets
to
us,
whereas
the
others
flow
through
the
city
funding,
and
so
we
have
accounting
handling
those
expenditures
so
that
that
is
a
difference
between
those
groupings.
Yeah.
B
B
K
Okay,
okay,
my
question
is
in
the
past,
when
we
have
approved
these
Schmitz
we've
always
been
given
a
booklet
that
would
outline
the
schmid
areas
and
what
the
what
the
money
was
being
spent
on.
Are
we
going
to
get
something
like
that?
I
I
didn't
see
any
nothing
was
attached
to
the
agenda
and
I'd
like
to
know
that
in-
and
this
is
maybe
for
an
offline
conversation
but
I
know
in
Highland
Park.
K
L
L
You
need
another
copy,
just
let
me
know
and
I'll
make
sure
you
get
a
copy
back
back
to
you
if
you
no
longer
have
that
in
the
discussion
at
that
meeting
is
where
we
basically
had
gone
through.
Within
that
pamphlet,
it
does
kind
of
give
those
maps
and
have
that
discussion
of
what
those
are
and
everything
like
that
yep.
K
D
L
I
B
M
B
Right
takes
us
down
to
item
four,
a
similar
discussion,
this
one
around
Highland
Park,
receiving
pilot
communication
from
the
Highland
Park's
med
board
regarding
the
levy
for
the
Highland
Park
self,
supported
municipal
Improvement,
District
Smith.
Let's
open
it
up
and
see.
If
anybody
has
anything
on
this
one.
C
B
C
N
B
C
B
B
F
B
E
Mayor,
if
I
could
as
the
sky
yep,
this
is
just
a
reminder
to
council,
especially
our
newer
councilmembers,
that
part
of
our
agreement
with
the
FTA
who
helped
fund
the
construction
of
our
Park
and
Ride
facility.
We
received
several
million
dollars
of
federal
funding
for
that
project.
We
agreed
that
we
would
only
hold
2.5
million
dollars
in
excess
funds
from
this
budget
item
and
in
this
accounting
area.
E
If
you
will
so
at
the
end
of
fiscal
year,
2019
we
had
more
than
2.5
million,
and
so
we
need
to
transfer
the
excess,
which
is
about
250
thousand
dollars.
You'll
see
in
this
item
too,
dark
for
transit
type
purposes.
We
we
did
this
two
years
ago
and
asked
that
the
funds
be
spent
on
shelters,
and
so
we
are
recommending
that
we
do
the
same
with
this
250
thousand
dollars.
So
that's
what
this
side
of
it
is.
E
A
Scott
question
and
thank
you
for
that
explanation.
I
know
we
did
do
it
a
couple
years
ago.
I
think
that's
a
good
way
of.
Maybe
even
if
we
can't
get
shelters
everywhere,
we
can
at
least
get
benches
or
garbage
cans
on
some
of
the
top
stops
that
we
have
in
some
of
the
areas
that
don't
have
a
shelter
that
is.
E
E
We
can
tie
stipulations
to
these
funds
or
spend
them
ourselves
on
transit.
So
as
long
as
we
get
the
confirmation
from
Dart
that
they
agree
with
what
we're
recommending
I
would
I
would
say
we
continue
to
give
them
the
funds.
If
there
is
a
conflict
on
how
dart
is
spending
those
funds,
we
could
take
that
in-house
at
the
city
and
spend
those
instead
as
long
as
their
transit
related.
H
A
Mean
I
appreciate
that,
but
I
know
that
I've
had
a
big
push
on
the
on.
You
know
on
in
Ward
4,
specifically
that
it
needs
garbage
cans
and
benches,
not
just
shelters,
but
an
immediate
need
that
we
need
is
garbage
cans
and
benches,
and
the
biggest
issue
that
we
have
is
is
the
maintenance
of
them
I,
don't
think
it's
purchasing
them,
but
it's
the
maintenance
of
it.
So
if
we
can
come
up
with
some
type
of
solution
that
could
help
some
of
the
constituents,
at
least
in
Ward
4
that
have
really
been
asking
for
this.
I
I
So
if
nobody
checks
I'd
like
to
move
item
10
with
the
expectation
that
these
funds
will
go
over
to
dart
for
the
business
of
building,
shelters,
bus
benches,
garbage
cans
and
the
like,
so
that
our
residents
have
something
that
can
they
can
see.
That's
coming
out
of
a
fund
we're
transferring
over
to
dart.
K
Bill
if
I,
if
this
is
Westar,
Garden
I,
want
to
echo
what
you're
both
saying
but
I
know.
Four
years
ago
we
had
a
discussion
and
we
were
given
a
map
of
where
bus
benches
were
and
I
haven't,
seen
any
any
results
of
that
and
I
know.
Four
years
ago
I
said
hey,
we
need,
we
need
benches,
we
need
some
shelters
and
and
I
was
told.
Oh
we're,
gonna
get
some
shelters,
but
I
never
hear
anything
about
it
and
I
drive
down
the
street
and
I,
don't
see
any
garbage
cans.
K
E
J
I
know
dart
has
their
plan
and
we
can
talk
about
where
shelters
are
available.
We've
talked
a
couple
of
times
about
the
art
shelters
as
a
matching
program
and
I
think
we
with
with
these
dollars.
We
could
probably
take
advantage
of
that
program
as
well
and
so
think
about
how
this
links
with
with
our
corridors
and
and
an
art
piece
but
I
think
it
maybe
make
sense
to
just
have
a
and
maybe
an
update
from
Dart
in
terms
of
the
next
shelters
that
are
up
in
priority.
K
This
is
Westergaard
I
guess
I
would
prefer
not
to
vote
to
just
turn
this
money
over
to
Dart
until
we
have
some
real
conversations
about
where
they're
gonna
be
because
these
conversations
have
been
going
on
for
several
years
and
I
Drive
up
and
down
Hubbell
and
it's
pouring
down
rain
and
there's.
There
are
no
benches
there,
standing
in
four
foot
tall
grass,
I,
guess
I'm,
just
not
real
excited
about
about
turning
over
the
funds
and
letting
somebody
else
administer
them
until
we
have
a
plan
that
we
know
exactly
where
they're
going
to
be
mayor.
H
If
I
could
yes
please,
this
rose
out
of
a
dispute
with
the
federal
government
over
the
funds
and
at
one
point
they
had
routed
the
parking
dredge
right
on
the
yes,
sir,
and
at
one
point
they
had
threatened
to
take
all
the
money
away
from
the
council.
When
we
reached
an
agreement
where
we
would
provide
those
funds,
Scott
indicated
for
transit
related
purposes
or
use
them
ourselves
for
transfer
related
purposes
and
those
are,
and
that
agreement
is
a
time-based
agreement.
H
We're
supposed
to
provide
those
funds
and
we've
done
it
as
part
of
the
budget
to
address
councilmember
westergaard's
concerns.
I
would
suggest
that
council
approve
the
item.
You
transfer
the
funds,
but
with
a
more
definitive
and
delineated
request
from
dart
as
to
the
accounting
for
those
funds
back
to
council,
council
can
see
being
spent.
But
this
is
not
really
a
matter
of
councils.
H
I
mean
it's
a
problem
in
terms
of
that
settlement
agreement
to
decide
to
reprogram
those
amounts
for
this
year
right
now
as
opposed
to,
and
if
you
want
to
give
staff
direction
to
look
at
something
else
for
next
year.
I
think
that's
feasible,
but
I
think
it's
a
problem
to
decide
at
this
late
point
in
time
that
we're
not
going
to
approve
a
the
grant.
K
I
Would
be
happy
to
put
that
in
the
resolution?
I
do
I
do
agree
with
Jeff
and
Josh.
We've
got
an
opportunity
here
to
get
this
done,
that
I
know
I've
got
and
I.
Probably
you
have
some
spots
to
Linda
where
we're
producing
the
neighborhood
sidewalk
program
and
they
are
running
right
along
bus
stops.
I've
got
one
over
here
on
urban
Dale
just
to
east
of
Beaver
and
we're
gonna
put
a
sidewalk
in.
I
We
are
gonna,
put
a
pad,
that's
gonna
benefit
or
because
we're
gonna
reduce
the
cost,
like
Josh
says,
of
twenty
five
thousand
pretty
significantly,
and
we
put
the
position
of
that.
That's
going
to
help
so
I
think
we
need
to
get
this
move
going
forward,
but
again
with
the
expectation
these
sometimes
we'll
go
to
the
shelter's
benches
and
garbage
disposal
and
take
into
consideration
land
is
concerned
that
we
get
some
sort
of
rate
reports
back
with
the
funds
have
been
spent
on
well.
B
In
it,
in
a
schedule
of
what
they're
doing
and
when
they're
doing
it
so
that
we
get
a
little
clearer
understanding
what's
going
on
as
we
move
this
forward,
I
understand
your
motion
and
I
think
it
sounds
like
you're
good
with
it
patiently
councilmember
boss
and
just
recently
bows
in
and
they've
had
their
hands
up.
Councilmember
Voss
yeah.
N
That's
great
so
from
a
South
Side
neighborhood
coalition,
meeting
I
attended
it
at
Southridge
a
few
weeks.
Well,
it
was
only
a
few
weeks
ago.
It
seems
like
ancient
and
Joe
I
think.
Maybe
you
get
to
that
meeting
just
a
tad
late,
but
from
Louise
at
dart
to
insights
on
this
conversation,
one
is
that
Dart
I
believe
considers
that
dart
funds
shelters
the
city
funds
benches,
and
so
we
probably
need
to
clarify
that,
because
I
think
that's
part
of
what
we
were
discussing.
N
Also
I
asked
what
the
threshold
was
for
determining
if
I
stopped
warranted,
having
a
shelter-
and
we
said
15
inbound
rides
is
in
a
day-
is:
is
there
threshold?
So
it
sounds
like
in
some
Ward's
you're
talking
about
locations
that
might
warrant
a
bench,
but
at
least
dark
considers
that's
on
the
city's
dime.
D
Won't
bring
that
polling
because
I
I
do
know,
we
need
more
shelters
than
we
need
more
benches
and
things
to
make
it
easier
for
the
people
to
ride,
but
I
think
in
the
timing.
The
Jeff
brought
up
two
is
that
we
don't
know
what
darts
gonna
need
for
this
upcoming
year.
I
mean
they're
impacted,
just
as
everybody
else
will
be
so
I
don't
know
if
I
would
ever
get
to
be
so
specific
with
them
right
now,
I
think
going
for
I
think
they
need
report
back.
D
J
So,
while
I
think
it's
well
taken,
we
don't
need
to
be
overly
prescriptive
here.
I
do
think
we
we
can
ask
as
a
follow-up
to
just
check-in
on
on
the
status
of
shelter
and
bench
locations
and-
and
we
can
just
make
sure
that
everyone
on
council
has
a
little
bit
more
information
in
that
regard,
so
that
when
we
have
this
conversation
again,
we
all
have
better
information
and
in
terms
of
what
to
expect
and
what's
been
done
in
the
not-too-distant
past,
good.
H
You,
your
honor,
just
a
couple
of
items
to
clarify,
so
we
want
to
if
you
want
to
put
it
in
in
the
motion,
but
the
roll
call
clarifies
that
it
can
be
used
mayor
to
answer
your
questions.
It
can
be
used
for
operations
as
well
as
for
capital
purposes,
but
council
directs
in
attachment
a
to
the
roll
call
that
it
will
be
used
for
bus,
stop
improvements
on
capital
improvements
for
bus
stops,
which
should
include
bus,
shelters,
benches,
garbage
garbage
cans
and
accessibility
improvements.
B
A
Mr.
mayor
maybe
and
I
appreciate
Josh,
maybe
you
can
help,
but
you
know,
as
you
go
out
into
the
suburbs,
maybe
we
can.
Maybe
we
can
see
why
we
have
so
much
nice
benches
and
garbage
cans
and
things
like
that
along
Jordan,
Creek,
Parkway
it
along
a
street
and
some
of
our
other
our
crises.
They
all
have
nice
benches.
They
all
have
nice
garbage
cans
and
how
they're
able
to
maintain
those
and
put
those
in.
Maybe
we
can
work
with
work
with
us
and
figure
out
how
we
make
that
happen
on
in
our
city.
H
You,
if
counsel,
is
willing
to
delegate
that
authority
of
the
manager
to
make
a
determination
as
to
whether
or
not
operations
might
be
included,
depending
on
koban
funding
for
dart
I.
Think
that
could
could
be
reflected
in
the
motion
to
expand
the
approves
uses
the
money
to
include
operations
depending
on
Kobe
wood
funding,
as
determined
by
the
manager.
With
the
report
back
to
Council.
I
O
H
Probably
won't
be,
but
I
guess
what
I
would
encourage
council
to
remember
is
that
the
source
of
the
funds
to
build
it's
not
in
the
entire
garage,
but
a
large
portion
of
the
garage
came
from
the
federal
government
and
the
this
is
an
excess
of
programmable
funds.
They've
also
allowed
the
city
to
keep
its
two
and
a
half
million
dollar
reserve
for
capital
work
that
needs
to
be
done
on
the
garage,
so
they,
while
the
suburbs,
probably
are
not
going
to
participate
and
are
not
going
to
provide
additional
funding.
H
This
is
programmable
funding
from
the
FTA
that
they've
required
to
be
used
for
transit
purposes,
most
like
that.
This
is
a
choice
to
use
it
for
something
else.
It's
it's
whether
or
not
the
city
does
the
transit
purpose,
expenditure
or
or
dart.
Does
it's
really
the
question,
but
it
it's
a
very
narrow
revenue
and
very
narrow,
narrow
expenditure.
H
I
K
I
Right,
I'm
gonna,
follow
Jeff's,
lead
and
I'll.
Have
him
repeat
it,
but
my
is
to
move
item
ten,
with
the
expectation
that
these
funds
will
be
going
towards
shelters,
benches,
garbage
cans
and
the
like
that
we
we
want
our
citizens
to
ride
safely
in
the
City
of
Des
Moines
and
if
a
report
we
want
to
report
back
on
what
the
expenditures
were
spent
on
and
Jeff.
What
was
your
final
position.
H
J
Know
I
was
just
gonna,
say,
I,
think
I
think
the
issue
will
sort
itself
out
when,
when
the
manager
looks
into
it
and
checks
in
I,
I
think
the
trove
in
funding
in
the
stimulus
will
will
allow
dart
operations
to
get
to
a
place
where
they're
whole,
and
we
can
use
these
dollars
for
the
stop
improvements
that
we
all
want
to
say.
I
agree.
B
C
B
B
The
first
item
on
the
hearings
item
14,
is
on
the
consideration
of
the
recommended
capital
improvement
program
plan
CIP
for
the
fiscal
years
2021
through
well
2020
through
2021
through
2025,
dad
2026,
so
council
communication
number
20
186.
Let's
open
the
hearing
on
that
and
see.
If
there's
anyone
who
would
like
to
make
comment
on
that
out
in
the
general
public
or
the
counselor.
B
N
Yes,
I've
expressed
to
the
to
the
council
members
that
I
I
have
some
heartburn
with
a
proposed
reconstruction
of
2nd
Avenue
and
and
I
believe
under
this
upcoming
fiscal
year,
that
they
largely
the
dollars
would
be
spent
to
to
begin
acquiring
property.
I'd
ask
that
we
move
this
project
back
one
fiscal
year,
I.
N
N
Given
some
of
the
projected
numbers
I
think
when
we
we
build
streets,
that
we
should
be
thinking
the
Des
Moines
residents
and
who
are
using
the
streets
I'm
trouble
with
spending
12
million
dollars
on
this
project.
That
I
believe
it
could
be
done
with
three
lanes
and
again
asked
nice
to
dial
this
back
and
take
another
look
at
this
project.
I
think
there
are
economic
development
and
environmental
justice
issues
for
for
the
neighborhoods
I
think
this
is
is
going
to
hinder
safety
and
neighborhood
economic
developments.
N
We're
taking
four
properties,
I've
asked
for
a
25
year
study
on
what
that
the
loss
of
property
taxes
would
be
for
those
properties
there's
also
several
other
properties.
That
would
be
severely
impacted
by
the
loss
of
proper
parking
in
front
of
their
buildings.
The
Fox
auto
body,
which
is
the
nearest
property
to
the
Des
Moines
River
on
the
west
side
of
the
road
losing
five
parking
places.
There
is
essentially
going
to
put
them
out
of
business.
B
Appreciate
Carl,
your
concern
I've
had
similar
concerns
for
probably
15
or
20
years.
However,
there's
a
group
of
folks
between
University
and
the
river
that
are
on
the
east
side
of
the
road
that
have
substantial
movement
of
very
large
trucks,
with
merchandise,
ingress
and
egress
in
and
out
of
there
who,
through
the
years,
have
been
very
concerned,
especially
in
that
specific
section
with
having
less
lineage
and
the
congestion
in
obstacles
to
delivery
that
might
occur.
B
The
bill
has
been
attending
those
meetings
much
more
regularly
in
the
recent
past,
then
I,
but
I've
got
to
tell
you.
We've
had
long
discussions
with
a
a
very
large
contingent
of
business
owners
to
the
east
of
the
road.
I
also
am
concerned
about
the
people
on
the
west,
as
as
are
you,
it
sounds
like
Carl,
but
we
need
to
analyze
what
the
the
needs
are
for
the
full
section
and
I
think
that's
what
we've
been
struggling
through
for
the
last
decade
plus
bill.
Do
you
want
to
say
something
real,
quick?
Well.
I
If
you
want
me
to
say
real,
quick
or
I
can
tell
you
what
I
really
think,
but
here's
what
I'm
going
to
tell
councillor
Voss.
This
has
been
a
project
of
mine.
We've
been
working
on
for
well
into
three
years.
We
have
already
pushed
it
back.
One
year,
I
have
sat
through
all
of
these
meetings.
We've
met
with
all
the
business
owners
on
2nd
Avenue
in
central
place,
and
they
are
all
in
agreement.
We
have
come
to
many
discussions
on
where
we
want
to
go.
I
What
compromises
we
needed
to
do,
and
we
have
a
pretty
good
idea
how
this
thing
is
going
to
work.
We
were
gonna
go
with
a
five
lane
approach.
A
three
lane
approach
is
laughable.
It
will
never
will
never
do
anything
and
I.
Don't
know
why
you
put
something
in
your
email
that
congestion
is
good,
I'm
challenged.
Think
would
you
want
to
go?
Tell
the
parents
of
a
child
that
was
injured
and
trying
to
get
to
Mercy
or
Methodist
Hospital
that
they
died,
because
there
was
congestion
on
2nd
Avenue.
That's
me
doesn't
make
any
sense.
I
We
need
to
get
this
thing
going.
That
is
a
light
blood
of
a
lot
of
businesses
in
the
area
like
I
said.
If
you
really
wanted
to
do
something
on
this
or
where
were
you
on
the
Traffic
Safety
Committee?
Where
were
you
when
you're
discussing
the
north-south
roads
coming
through
des
moines?
We
had
you
were
right
there
and
he
didn't
say
anything
so
to
come
in
on
the
11th
hour.
Doesn't
any
sense
at
all?
Like
I
said:
we've
we've
even
wanted.
We've
had
engineering
the
city,
majors
walked
it
with
us.
I
We've
gone
through
repointed
everything
out.
We
have
done
everything
feasible
to
make
this
thing
work
engineering
has
given
you
the
responses.
I
wholeheartedly
agree,
but
everything
that
engineering
does
now
I'm
a
telecommunications
engineer
now
a
civil
engineer,
but
I
agree
that
they've
done
their
homework.
We
push
it
back
here.
We've
got
the
money
in
the
budget
to
do
it,
and
this
is
the
thing
that
we
need
to
have
going
forward.
These
businesses
bring
in
a
lot
of
people
to
work
and
the
final
thing
is,
we
know
what
the
final
look
on
the
project's.
I
Could
it
be
I,
don't
know
where
do
you
think
that
tommmartens
going
to
lose
or
parking
spots,
we
haven't
even
got
a
final
design.
That's
what
we're
going
to
be
approving
next
month
and
just
set
it
to
an
engineering
front
for
design
so
coming
at
the
11th
hour
is
absolutely
wrong.
It's
the
wrong
way
to
look
at
this.
I
This
is
a
much
much
needed
a
reef
process
of
working
with
sewer
systems,
so
we're
gonna,
get
our
sewers
meet,
repairs,
we're
going
to
get
our
streets
prepared,
we're
gonna
make
that
a
better
highway
to
get
our
people
in
and
out,
and
this
is
what
the
neighbors
want.
This
is
what
the
and
this
is
a
central
place
one,
and
this
is
what
the
people
on
the
2nd
Avenue
business
terrific
one
though
I
chose
motion
to
move
14.
B
E
Not
mayor
just
as
a
suggestion,
so
we
were
not
prepared
to
have
a
full
rehash
on
on
the
second
new
merits.
If
you
will
and
there's
I
would
tell
you,
I
have
real
concern
about
delaying
it
another
year,
given
the
bridge
improvements
and
the
sewer
improvements
that
need
to
move
forward,
and
so
we
need
to
know
how
the
road
construction
will
occur
along
in
tandem
with
those
other
projects.
Three
Scott
we've
waited
long
enough
and
in
so
many.
E
B
A
C
P
Yes,
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
council,
Larry
James,
1,
1,
4,
xxx,
Des
Moines.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
I'll,
keep
it
brief.
I
share,
councilmen
bosses
concerns
I,
understand
the
arguments
for
the
second
Avenue
reconstruction.
Obviously,
the
road
needs
to
be
reconstructed.
It's
in
terrible
shape,
no
one's,
no
one's
disputing
that
I.
P
Think
the
council
really
is
just
making
a
policy
decision
as
you
do
and
you're
the
policymaking
body
in
the
city,
duly
elected,
really
you're,
making
decision
whether
or
not
this
is
an
area
that
should
be
primarily
benefiting
suburban
commuters,
who
move
through
our
city
for
generating
wealth
for
the
city
and
I.
Think
that
by
not
considering
during
the
process,
a
three
lane
configuration
council
is
is
losing
an
opportunity
to
continue
to
allow
traffic
to
move
through
safely,
in
fact
safer
than
and
then
the
proposed
design
by
lowering
and
generating
wealth
along
the
corridor.
P
We
have
a
road
that
has
currently
fewer
cars
per
day
than
Douglas
Avenue
council
has
already
approved,
or
is
it
is
going
to
approve
tonight
a
proposal
to
start
a
pilot
project
on
Douglas
Avenue?
We
should
go
from
four
to
three
lanes:
Douglas
Avenue
in
2040
is
proposed
to
have
approximately
20,000
cars
a
day.
This
project
is
proposed
to
have
approximately
20,000
cars
a
day,
the
the
speeds
that
will
be
projected
on
this
road
just
by
design.
P
Chinese
and
Vietnamese
district
in
our
city.
We're
taking
out
a
couple
businesses
there
completely
and
actually
reducing
the
parking
of
the
Double
Dragon
grocery
store.
So
I
think
that
the
social
equity
cost
is
high
on
here.
I.
Think
that
the
the
the
reluctance
for
some
I
don't
understand
the
reluctance,
but
there's
no
reluctance
to
consider
a
three
lane.
Configuration
and
I
think
that
by
pursuing
this
and
proceeding
tonight,
what
just
sounds
like
you
will
I
just
want
to
be
on
record.
P
That's
to
say
that
as
a
taxpayer
that
I
feel
like
this
is
not
going
to
benefit
the
city
as
the
whole
I
think
that
the
return
on
investment
on
this
project,
which
is
estimated
in
total
to
be
over
seventeen
million
dollars,
I'd,
be
hard-pressed
to
see
how
the
ROI
for
the
city
is
going
to
be
benefited
in
a
positive
manner.
Over
and
above
that
that
that
amount,
so
just
my
two
cents
and
I
know
that
it
sounds
like
it's
a
foregone
conclusion,
but
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak.
Thank
you.
J
Yeah
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
so
I
sure
the
concerns
the
councilmember
boss
is
raised.
I
have
raised
a
number
of
these
concerns
throughout
the
process
on
on
this
corridor
and
so
I
think.
The
points
about
safety
in
particular
are
well
taken.
The
points
about
the
land
that
we
are
going
to
have
to
take
out
of
out
of
higher
and
better
use
to
expand
or
to
do
this.
N
Thank
You
Mara
Connie,
so
I
can
appreciate
that
the
second
Avenue
business
owners
in
the
business
part
the
central
place,
have
concerns
about
this
man.
If
any
of
you
had
been
at
the
meetings
when
the
proposal
for
the
traffic
calming
on
Ingersoll
Avenue
was
going
about,
they
were
absolutely
again
their
heels
business
owners
who
did
not
want
to
change
now.
Look
at
that
corridor
now,
that's
that's
the
fabulous
corridor
that
we
should
hold
up
as
an
example
to
all
I.
Think.
N
N
I,
don't
know
what
them
and
maybe
Scott,
is
there
an
opportunity
that
we
could
approve
the
CIP
as
it
shows
tonight,
but
can
we
revisit
this?
I
did
not
do
this
at
11th
hour,
I
asked
questions
all
along
while
we
were
going
through
the
CIP.
It's
just
taken
a
long
time
for
some
of
my
questions
to
be
answered.
So
I
think
it's
worth
taking
another
look
at
this
project.
If
there
was
a
way
that
Scott,
maybe
you
could
suggest,
and
they
having
to
do
that.
E
Mayor
that
that
is
an
option,
it's
just
when
I
think
the
reference
to
the
11th
hour,
councilmen
boss,
is
that
even
prior
to
your
seat
that
you
coming
onto
the
council,
there
was
you
know,
a
couple
of
years
worth
of
work
and
finally
got
to
a
consensus
at
that
point
in
time.
Having
said
that,
there
are
still
approvals
necessary
on
this
project
and
will
be
several
more.
E
So
you
know
I,
as
a
city
manager
need
to
be
assured
that
there
are
four
more
than
four
council
members
that
agree
with
this
project
moving
forward
as
a
four-lane
facility.
That's
not
the
case,
then.
We
absolutely
need
to
come
back
as
a
group
and
and
figure
out
a
new
solution,
but
I
do
need
to
know
if
there's,
if
there's
council
support
so.
B
Carl
I
really
appreciate
your
your
thoughts.
We
have
put
these
up
and
even
prior
to
councilmember
gray,
getting
on
the
council.
We
worked
on
this
corridor
with
council
member
of
AUSA's
and
it's
really
been
a
sort
of
a
touch-and-go
ongoing
conversation
for
I
would
say
heading
towards
15
years,
rather
than
just
the
the
three
it's
it's
a
tough
one.
B
There's
a
lots
of
pros
and
cons.
I've
been
on
the
ingersoll
corridor.
That
was
pointed
out
and
argued
on
the
the
side
to
to
do
that.
I
also
can
tell
you
the
other
problem
that
I
see
even
more
problematic
on
a
second
Avenue
because
of
the
massive
amounts
of
trucks
going
in
and
out
is
some
of
the
ingersoll
solutions
is
to
park
the
semis
right
in
the
middle
of
the
street
in
the
three
lane,
especially
in
this
case,
offloading
to
that
grocery
and
then
also
to
the
liquor
store
and
some
of
those
others.
B
That
would
require
that
where
they
can't
exactly
get
into
that
to
the
to
the
property
easily,
so
they
just
parked
the
doggone
thing
in
the
middle
of
the
street
rather
than
going
around
through
the
parking
lots
and
all
that
sort
of
thing.
So
I
think
if
we're
gonna
revisit
this
there's
many
many
issues
that
that
need
to
be.
B
Looked
at
and
it's
been
a
subject
of
discussion,
I
think
since
Scott's
been
with
the
city
and
I
think
I
know
for
sure,
since
Jeff
has
been
with
a
city.
This
is
a.
This
is
a
tough
area
between
University
and
the
river
that
that
has
been
tested
over
time
and,
of
course,
this
four-lane
road
that
is
in
there
has
been
therefore
I.
Don't
know,
50
hearing
idea.
B
D
Just
gonna
get
clarification.
This
is
really
about
the
total
CIP
program
and
to
Josh
this
point.
Everything's
gonna
be
up
for
grabs
prior
to
review
and
I
would
be
supportive
if
we
want
to
look
at
it
again
and
we
do
have
other
opportunities,
as
Mr
Sanders
said
so
I'm
supporting
it,
but
I
just
want
to
make
clarification.
It's
the
overall
and
I
I
guess
I'm
not
willing
to
pull
out
one
item
right
now
for
the
overview.
I
think
we
do
need
to
review
every
project.
D
A
Joe
mr.
mayor,
thank
you
and
I
appreciate
all
the
comments
you
know.
I
know
Carla's
got
on
the
council
just
this
year,
I
mean
we've
sat
through
over
the
last
six
years.
Many
many
workshops
I
mean
workshops
in
the
morning
all
day,
workshops
where
the
engineering
department
came
through
and
offered
us
a
four
lane
or
five
Lane
we've
taken
hours
upon
hours
of
discussing
second
Avenue.
We
all
were
in
agreement.
A
This
was
the
best
fit
for
for
that
and-
and
there
were
six
out
of
the
seven
of
us
that
were
in
those
discussions
at
the
time.
This
is,
as
Connie
pointed
out,
the
the
complete
CIP
plan
and
just
one
one
comment
that
was
said
and
Collin
I
appreciate.
This
I
know
eager
saw,
has
been
a
huge
success,
but
Ingersoll
is
is
model
that
you
can
take
to
everywhere
in
the
city
and
I
know
that
that
folks
and
staff
would
love
to
do
that.
A
But
people
a
lot
of
people
in
different
parts
of
the
areas
of
our
town,
don't
want
that,
and
I
can
tell
you.
We
tried
Christine,
Hensley
and
I,
tried
to
do
that
on
Southwest
night
and
make
it
a
three
lane
road
which
parky
and
you
would
have
thought
that
we
were
the
devil
and
and
we
needed
to
leave
the
meeting
immediately.
We
were
going
to
be
home
at
the
time
of
bringing
it
up.
So
central
place
is
is
similar
to
that
it's
an
industrial
commercial
area.
A
There
is
lots
of
large
trucks
and
I
think
that
we
took
that
into
consideration
when
we
looked
at
the
maps
at
the
engineering
department.
Put
in
you
know,
I
understand
your
concern,
but
we
could
not
think
that
we
can
model
every
single
Street
like
Ingersoll,
because
it's
not
going
to
be
successful
over
the
city
and
as
soon
as
we
all
can
to
come
to
terms
with
that
I
think
we
would
have
a
lot
less
disagreement.
So
those
are
my
comments.
I
still
have
the
motion
of
moving
item
14
and
I.
A
B
F
C
B
Right
good
discussion,
a
lot
of
good
points
came
up.
Let's
continue
to
try
to
do
what's
best
for
our
citizens
and
businesses
moving
forward
and
with
that.
Let's
move
on
item
15,
which
is
on
the
amendment
of
the
annual
budget
for
the
current
fiscal
year,
ending
June
30
of
2020
counts
of
communication,
number
20
186.
Any
quick
comment:
Scott.
E
D
C
B
B
E
You
matter
the
the
comment
I
was
going
to
make
earlier
is
reflected
in
the
fiscal
year
21
budget,
which
the
major
change
is.
The
tax
rate
was
originally
recommended
to
be
reduced
by
the
ten
cents,
and,
with
this
revised
recommendation,
the
recommendation
is
to
leave
the
tax
rate
the
same,
not
lower.
It
there's
again
attachment
a
that
was
provided.
That
shows
some
of
the
accounting
changes
that
needed
to
take
place
as
well
available
to
take
any
questions.
E
B
I'll
just
make
one
quick
comment:
I
want
to
thank
you
and
all
of
our
budget
staff.
These
are
gonna,
be
really
trying
times
and
I
think
that
you've
made
some
appropriate
recommendations
to
us.
We
have
fought
really
hard
to
to
work
for
our
taxpayers
and
see
what
we
can
do
to
to
reduce
their
property
taxes,
but
at
the
moment,
giving
the
fiscal
impact
of
our
revenue
side
and
what's
happening,
I,
really
appreciate
the
adjustments
that
you've
made
in
their
recommendations
to
us
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
open
it
up.
Councilmember
gotto
mr.
A
A
I
know
that
last
year,
when
we
thought
we
were
going
to
get
a
huge
chunk
of
sales
tax
money
and
we
were
going
to
be
using
that
we
had
a
lot
of
projects
CIP
projects,
we
were
looking
at
a
40
cent
decrease
and,
and
today
we're
lucky
that
we're
not
increasing
taxes
and
I
think
everyone
needs
to
be
aware
of
that.
As
we
start
going
around
to
neighborhood
groups
again,
eventually,
you
know
it's
important
that
they
know
that
they
didn't
get
the
wool
pull
over
their
eyes.
A
So
you
know
what
I'm
going
to
support
this
budget
for
those
reasons,
but
you
know
Scott,
you
said
ten
cents
that
it
was
supposed
to
be
40
cents.
So
just
a
clarification.
Let's
not
forget
what
we
talked
about
last
year,
but
I
think
it's
appropriate.
What
we're
doing
tonight
as
and
our
residents
will
understand
why
we're
doing
it
tonight.
B
J
A
J
What's
going
to
look
like
a
very,
very
different
situation
than
we
were
facing
just
a
couple
months
ago.
So
to
me
that's
the
piece
to
underscore
is
that
we've
got
a
lot
of
conversation
yet
to
have
on
the
future
of
our
budget
and
and
how
we
make
things
work.
There
was
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
that
was
done
to
get
to
this
point
and
and
I
think
all
of
the
staff.
That
was
a
part
of
that,
but
we've
got
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
left
to
do
and
that's
going
to
be
really
important.
B
B
All
right,
thank
you
all
and
I
want
to
thank
our
council
for
working
so
hard
together,
also
and
helping
and
supporting
the
actions
that
have
moved
forward
and
been
recommended
by
our
city
council
to
our
staff
and
the
staffs
hard
work
that
has
been
pointed
out.
You
guys
have
really
had
to
make
some
adjustments
in
a
very
short
period
of
time,
given
the
circumstances
that
have
been
thrown
at
us
with
this
pandemic
that
we
continue
to
face.
That
seems
to
be
headed
towards
a
peak
with
an
unbelievable
increase
in
cases
across
the
state.
B
So,
let's
all
be
careful
and
thank
you
all
for
everything
that
you've
done
in
this.
That's
the
last
item
on
the
hearings,
but
we'll
close.
The
hearings
and
Kay
I've
got
541
that
takes
us
back
to
item
11
item
11
was
a
fund
transfer
resolution
of
the
City
of
Des
Moines
fiscal
year.
2020
Scott
any
comment
there
quickly.
So.
E
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
The
council
may
recall
that
this
is
an
additional
item.
That's
now
required
with
each
annual
budget
approval
that
we
pull
out
a
separate
attachment
to
identify
where
transfers
are
necessary
between
funds
internally.
So
it's
somewhat
of
an
administrative
task
that
just
simply
needs
to
be
done,
but
I
do
have
Nick
available
for
any
questions
that
the
council
has
on
you'll
see.
We
need
to
do
it
all
from
an
amended
standpoint
for
the
current
year
and
the
next
item
addresses
the
transfers
anticipated
in
the
budget
for
next
year.
B
Anybody
have
any
quick
questions
on
this.
This
will
be
obviously
Scott
we're
going
to
continue
working
on
it
and,
as
everybody
has
pointed
out,
we're
gonna
have
to
modify
and
adjust
is
circumstances
present
themselves.
So,
thank
you
all
for
stepping
up
and
knowing
that
this
is.
This
is
a
piece
that's
going
to
be
testing
all
of
us,
probably
for
the
coming
12
months.
C
B
C
B
E
B
D
B
Right
item
13
is
an
item
that
has
been
put
on
for
discussion.
It's
a
quick
understanding
of
the
use
of
the
CDBG
and
ESG
Kovach
19
funding
in
Scott
I'm
gonna.
Ask
you
to
quickly
summarize
what
this
is
and
then
we'll
open
it
up
and
see
if
there's
anyone
the
public
they'd
like
to
may
come
in
on
this
as
well
Scott.
Thank
you
mayor.
E
Yes,
so
there
is,
a
document
have
been
sent
out
that
shows
you
from
a
high-end
level,
the
CDBG
funds
that
the
city
has
received
and
ESG
funds
with
their
emergency
funds
to
prevent
homelessness,
and
so
we
received
about
2.2
million
of
the
CDBG
version
and
about
1.1
million
of
the
ESG
funding.
These
are
related
to
:
19
impacts,
and
so
they
need
to
be
spent
as
such.
However,
we
have
not
gotten
any
specific
additional
guidance
from
HUD
who
regulates
these
funds
as
to
more
specifics.
Now
they
there
is
a
long
history.
E
Again,
the
homeless
aspect
needs
to
be
addressed
in
how
those
funds
are
spent.
Thank
you,
Kay
for
bringing
us
this
document
up.
These
are
recommendations
that
I
put
together
with
staff.
Trista
Rehn
is
Erin
Oleson
douglas
have
assisted
in
this
regard.
I
will
state
that,
as
we
run
through
this
at
this
point
in
time
we
have
a
hearing
set
for
May
4th
that
adjusts
our
plan
action
plan
you'll
see
reference
there.
E
E
E
The
2.2
million
I've
spoken
individually
to
council
members
about
the
desire
to
spend
1
million
of
those
funds
on
a
small
business
relief
effort
and
combine
that
with
a
$500,000
of
city
funds
that
are
have
been
allocated
for
Economic
Development
purposes
that
allow
for
no
restrictions
on
the
500,000
portion
in
combination
with
the
million
dollars
of
CDBG
funds
that
will
have
either
Geographic
requirements
for
applicants
would
have
specific
requirements
as
to
be
fitting
low
income.
Wage
earners.
A
E
And
so
the
recommendation
for
this
million
dollars
of
CDBG
fund
will
be
in
combination
with
the
Des
Moines
partnership
and
the
county
and
potentially
other
cities
addressing
their
own
municipalities.
But
our
funds
and
whatever
matching
funds
we
get
from
the
private
side
and
the
county
would
be
spent
on
Des
Moines
businesses.
E
Only
my
understanding
the
county
is
that
they're
looking
at
what
would
roughly
end
up
being
I
believe
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
potential
contribution
towards
the
City
of
Des
Moines
program
and
the
private
fundraising
has
targeted
roughly
two
hundred
that
a
little
over
two
hundred
thousand,
and
we
do
have
some
individuals
on
that
on
the
call
that
can
help
answer
some
additional
questions
from
the
partnership
aspect
of
this.
They
are
continuing
to
privately
fundraise
to
to
add
to
that
number.
A
E
So
we
for
the
partnership
has
been
fabulous
in
putting
us
in
contact
with
some
resources.
Third
party
that
can
administrate
the
application
process
electronically
actually
do
reviews
on
the
fiscal
viability
of
those
companies
and
applicants
and
then
score
them
based
how
harmful
the
Cova
19
impacts
have
been
any
corresponding
closures
through
proclamations
for
which
these
small
businesses
have
lost
revenue.
E
As
you
might
imagine,
some
applicants
have
completely
had
to
shut
down,
others
may
only
be
partially
shut
down,
and
so
that
review
will
be
done
by
the
third
party
in
asking
for
fiscal
information
from
the
applicants
and
then
that
fiscal
scoring
would
be
provided
to
us,
along
with
the
applications.
The
requests
for
funding
such
that
the
city
gets
to
determine
the
actual
Awards
at
the
end
of
this
process.
So
they
are
only
starting
us
out
and
we
would
get
the
final
answer
on
which
batch
of
applicants
would
actually
receive.
Would.
A
E
That's
partly
a
legal
question:
there
will
have
to
be
some
obviously
some
council
approvals
yet
in
the
grant
agreements.
I
would
hope
and
envision
that
that
process
would
allow
for
one
batch
of
Awards
to
occur
at
once
through
the
council
I'll.
Let
Jeff,
maybe
chime
in
if,
if
he
wants
to
on
how
he
can
envisions
is,
but
we're
still
have
a
lot
of
details
yet
to
be
worked
out,
but
there
will
have
to
be
some
council
approvals
yet
Jeff.
H
A
E
Was
a
starting
point
that
I
put
in
there?
This
is
Scott.
That
number
can
absolutely
change
it
and
there
may
be
others
that
have
better
guidance
on
what
that
need.
Is
all
these
programs,
as
you
might
imagine,
council,
have
greater
needs
than
each
of
these
numbers,
especially
on
the
CDBG
side,
with
small
business
loans,
rental
assistance,
which
again
I,
can
have
Chris
kind
of
address.
E
These
are
families
that
are
potentially
looking
at
evictions
and
and
need
some
assistance
through
through
payment
of
rent
or
mortgage,
and
then
also
the
opportunity
for
emergency
food
distribution,
which
is
an
idea
of
paying
to
have
local
restaurants,
provide
hot
meals
evening
meals
for
those
families
in
need.
All
three
of
these
have
great
amount
of
needs.
Far
beyond
the
numbers
you
see
in
front
of
you,
so,
okay.
F
K
Was
going
to
ask
a
question
similar
to
Joe's
about
how
this
money
was
divided
up,
I
agree:
there's
just
not
going
to
be
enough
money
to
help
everybody
that
needs
help
in
our
community
I'm,
just
wondering
with
gentle
and
mortgage
assistance
at
680
for
the
small
business
at
a
million.
Could
we
maybe
adjust
that
number
a
little
bit
I
absolutely
support
the
emergency
food
distribution,
but
it
looks
like
we're
taking
it
all
out
of
the
rental
mortgage
assistance
and
it
looks
like
it's.
E
K
F
N
Q
F
N
A
M
I'm
here
Thank
You,
two
City
Council
members
to
the
mayor
and
to
the
city
manager
for
your
work
in
this
very
important
area.
We
appreciate
greatly
being
that
the
emergency
food
distribution
is
being
considered
as
part
of
this
Block
Grant,
and
know
that
you
have
difficult
difficult
decisions
to
make.
M
I
will
say
that
the
need
is
great
in
the
Des
Moines
community,
we
have,
typically,
in
in
months,
passed
for
many
years,
provided
over
$500,000
of
food
support
into
the
moines
public
school
district,
every
care
with
the
schools,
with
the
doors
closed
and
most
of
those
food
pantries
not
operating
families
are
having
a
very
difficult
time
filling
their
food
budget
need.
This
is
intended
to
be
an
evening
meal,
a
hot
meal
provided
to
families
in
local
low
income
areas.
There
would
be
some
reimbursement
of
the
child's
meal
through
the
USDA,
a
Summer
Food
Service
Program.
M
We
think
we
can
leverage
USDA
food,
that
the
Bank
of
Iowa
manages
and
that
restaurant
partners
could
also
leverage
vendor
relationships
to
have
product
donated,
knowing
that,
at
this
time,
institutional
risk,
restaurant-grade
food
is
a
glut
in
the
in
the
marketplace.
So
I
appreciate
your
consideration.
I
have
submitted
some
additional
information
via
Josh
Mandelbaum
for
consideration
and
would
be
happy
to
have
further
conversations
on
this
topic
and
again
appreciate
your
thoughts
and
your
considerations
as
it
concerns
feeding
hungry
folks
in
Des,
Moines
Iowa.
B
M
E
B
R
R
Great
so
essentially,
I'll
just
give
you
a
brief
30-second
background.
Early
on
in
March,
several
organizations
join
ranks
to
align
to
really
uplift
the
low-income
and
minority
community.
As
a
related
to
small
business
ownership,
we
were
finding
out
very
early
that
it
was
difficult
for
them
to
prepare
to
apply
for
some
of
these
early
deadline
opportunities,
and
it
was
also
difficult
for
them
to
connect
with
the
opportunities
as
well.
R
C
O
Right,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Deidre
Thank
You
Council
for
allowing
us
to
speak
on
this
I'm.
As
Deidre
mentioned,
Iowa
State,
University
Extension
is
top
donors
or
educational
partner
I.
Think
it's
important
first
understand
that
a
lot
of
these
businesses
need
the
immediate
relief
in
dollars
right
now,
but
for
them
to
see
their
way
out
of
this
pandemic
stronger
than
before
the
educational
pieces
are
gonna,
be
even
more
key
to
their
progress.
O
Our
business
development
team
at
Iowa
State
Extension
outreach,
which
is
my
employer,
is
combined
with
farm
food
and
Enterprise
Development
Community
Economic
Development
Department,
as
well
as
a
small
business
development
center.
We're
focused
on
four
different
responses
right
now,
one
we'll
be
doing.
We
have
available
podcasts
on
best
practices
that
are
available.
Currently
we
have
ten
that
will
be
going
up
over
the
weekend.
We're
also
be
doing
webinars
classes
and
as
well
as
technical
support
in
the
form
of
our
classes.
O
We're
gonna
be
introducing
businesses
to
the
business
model,
canvas
which
is
a
tool
we
use
to
help.
Businesses
understand
how
they
can
change
their
business
model
and
reevaluate
that
process,
especially
in
this
time.
We
know
that
when
the
state
does
open
up
we're
not
going
to
go
back
to
business
as
usual,
it's
really
going
to
be
an
opportunity
for
these
businesses
to
you
know,
understand
how
they
can
alter
their
business
plans
in
order
to
be
as
successful
as
they
can.
O
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
classes
on
the
business
plan,
financial
resources,
restaurant
financial
analysis
and
also
business
startup.
It's
also
important
that
we
focus
on
technical
assistance,
so
we
have
about
10
different
employees
that
will
be
doing
one-on-one
business
coaching
with
with
small
business
owners.
This
will
come
in
the
form
of
financial
benchmarking,
financial
snapshots,
market
analysis
and
feasibility
studies,
as
well
as
business
plan
assistance.
Our
expertise
falls
in
line
with
strategize
er,
which
is
our
business
canvas.
O
Business
model
canvas
working
tool,
as
well
as
a
live
plan
which
helps
us
with
our
feasibility
studies
and
in
vertical
IQ
business,
minor
industrial
CFO,
which
all
of
our
market
analysis
tools
the
great
thing
about
a
market
analysis.
We
can
get
it
all
the
way
down
to
county
level,
but
in
some
cases,
depending
on
the
industry,
we
can
get
it
down
to
city
level.
But
the
goal
with
this
plan
is
really
to
ensure
that
these
businesses
have
the
resources
available,
not
only
financial
but
also
the
technical
resources.
So
as
they
come
out
of
this
stronger.
O
R
And
the
group
of
organizations
is
amazing:
I'm
really
proud
of
just
the
diversity
that
exists
and
the
amount
of
effort
that
these
organizations
all,
of
course,
having
competing
priorities
and
the
mystic
ovet
but
they're
deciding
to
commit
to
small
businesses
and-
and
so
that
includes
the
directors
council.
The
immigrant
entrepreneur,
Summit
League
of
United
Latin
American
citizens,
which
is
also
known
as
LULAC
Iowa,
State
Extension,
of
course,
dream.
R
R
The
Des
Moines
branch
of
the
n-double
a-c-p
Latino
resources
of
Iowa
they
put
on
the
Latino
Heritage
Festival
each
year,
a
Des
Moines
area,
community
college
through
the
financial
empowerment
center
in
Evelyn,
K
Davis,
and
then
one
voice
DSM,
which
is
an
up-and-coming
organization
that
focuses
on
outreach
to
African
folks,
immigrants
from
Africa
and
those
who
are
originally
from
Africa.
And
so
this
alliance,
not
only
is
connecting
people
with
this
resource
and
the
resources
that
exist.
R
Amongst
this
alliance,
but
taking
a
step
board
to
also
be
a
part
of
the
selection
committee
as
well
and
I,
think
this
is
a
tremendous
grassroots
effort
by
these
organizations
to
ensure
that
the
dollars
that
are
necessary
to
help
these
businesses
see
themselves
through
kovat,
are
put
in
their
hands,
and
so
we're
really
proud
of
this
initiative.
We're
continuing
to
raise
money,
and
we
would
love
for
the
city
to
make
a
contribution
to
this
fund
to
help
out
I
mean
right.
R
Now
we
have
over
480
some-odd
applications
that
have
come
in
now,
the
ones
that
have
been
submitted
from
the
City
of
Des
Moines,
only
47.
That
47
makes
up
about
5
million
dollars
in
gross
that's
their
annual
gross
collectively
for
people
of
color
in
Des
Moines
there
have
been
21
applicants.
This
is
as
of
last
Wednesday
and
their
gross
is
1.5
million
dollars
annually
the
losses
for
Des
Moines
businesses,
the
47,
is
almost
$350,000,
and
so
we're
trying
to
do
whatever
we
can
to
help
these
Des
Moines
businesses
considering
and
mind
you.
R
These
are
just
March
losses
right.
This
is
half
of
March,
so
you
can
imagine
what
April
is
going
to
look
like
for
so
many
of
these
business
owners
and
so
as
we're
looking
to
try
to
help
we're
asking
the
city
to
just.
You
know,
support
these
organizations
in
this
effort
to
ensure
that
the
dollars
are
connecting
with
the
communities
that
are
most
vulnerable
in
this,
and
we
thank
you
for
your
time.
All.
B
E
Yes,
mayor
absolutely
and
there's
a
couple
different
ways
that
that
can
happen.
I
I
think
what
you
first
need
to
divvy
up
the
money
between
these
three
efforts
and
and
then
work
with
Deidre
and
and
Camryn
on
on
the
actual
details
of
inviting
them
in
to
our
process
or
handing
off
the
applications.
There's
a
couple
different
ways
that
could
work
and.
B
S
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
This
is
Meg
Schneider,
representing
Greater
Des,
Moines
partnership.
Certainly
the
opportunity
to
partner
with
the
city
on
the
small
business
relief
and
recovery
grants
a
quick
update
from
our
standpoint.
We
have
been
working
with
other
municipalities
in
the
region
to
get
them
all
to
come
on
board
with
one
fund
and
one
application
process
its
centralized,
along
with
the
vetting
process
that
Scott
Sanders
outlined
prior.
Please
to
let
you
know
that
see.
We
have
three
municipalities
committed.
S
Another
two
are
in
in
some
varying
stage
of
approval
with
their
own
councils
and
likely
some
more
coming
on
board
and
then,
as
of
this
morning,
we
have
another
$500,000
from
the
private
sector
that
will
go
to
match
those
municipal
dollars
being
infused
back
into
our
economy
here
in
the
join
region.
So
certainly
appreciate
that
opportunity
to
partner
with
you
and
looking
forward
to
future
discussions
thanks.
J
S
Can
you
hear
me
there
we
go.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
So
if
Scott
mentioned
the
city
dollars
their
dollar
for
dollar
back
to
your
own
communities,
additionally,
there
are
some
dollars
from
polk
county.
Those
will
be
distributed
to
participating
municipalities
at
a
per
capita
ratio
and
then
again,
when
we
have,
we
have
sort
of
a
collection
of
you,
municipalities,
they're,
participating
at
at
this
point,
and
the
private
sector
dollars
would
be
in
an
equal
fashion,
likely
a
per
capita
formula
as
well.
B
J
S
The
city
of
Urbandale
has
discover
meant
at
$100,000.
City
of
johnston
is
at
25
with
additional
funds
in
reserve.
Clive
is
a
verbal
as
at
this
point
they
have
not
had
a
council
meeting
to
to
formalize
that,
but
they
are
have
25,000
dedicated
and
perhaps
some
additional
in
the
wings
as
well
and
council
Mandelbaum.
I'm
just
pulling
up
my
notes
to
make
sure
I
have
the
ratio
allocated
properly.
To
give
you
a
better
answer.
F
J
J
There's
no
way
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
meet
all
of
the
needs.
All
right,
my
personal
preference
is,
is
to
is
to
err
on
the
side
of
Direct
Relief.
First,
so
I
would
like
to
see
significantly
more
dollars
for
the
emergency.
Food
distribution
and
I
would
also
like
to
see
significantly
more
details
on
on
the
small
business
relief
fund.
I
had
a
whole
host
of
questions
that
that
I
had
submitted
to
the
manager
and
a
lot
of
the
answers
were
that
the
details
still
need
to
be
worked
out.
J
I'm
comfortable
committing
dollars
there,
but
I
kind
of
liked.
The
Johnston
approach,
where
Johnston
put
initial
dollars
in
and
then
has
additional
dollars
that
potentially
can
go
into
the
program.
But
for
me,
I
want
to
get
a
better
sense
of
both
the
the
need
from
the
emergency
food
distribution
perspective
and
if
we
can
do
more
to
help
there,
as
well
as
the
details
of
the
program.
I
do
like
the.
J
What
what
Cameron
and
Deidre
were
talking
about
in
terms
of
the
minority
owned
business
I'm,
also
particularly
interested
in
understanding
how
we
maybe
need
to
target
the
the
CDBG
dollar
to
low-income
communities
or
neighborhoods
on
the
small
business
relief
side,
I
and
I.
Don't
think
there
were
really
any
details
worked
out
on
that
particular
question.
J
So
I'm
I'm
interested
in
seeing
more
detail
on
on
that.
But
my
hope
is
that
we
can
rearrange
some
of
the
funding
so
that
minimally
we
hate
250,000
for
the
emergency
food
distribution,
potentially
more
because
I
think
there's,
there's
more
need
and
adjust
dollars
accordingly,
so
that
that's
where
I
that's,
where
I
sort
of
start
in
this
process.
B
Q
F
Q
Is
we
intend
to
use
our
application
to
screen
by
questions
around
those
two
topic
areas?
So
we
will
ask
applicants
to
identify
their
block
group
which
we
have
which
we
can
identify
with
our
website,
and
we
intend
to
ask
whether
the
business
believes
that
they
employ
workforce.
Who
is
whose
households
are
in
that
low
moderate
income
spectrum?
F
J
Actually,
this
conversation
also
raises
a
another
question
that
I
have,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
like
about
the
idea
of
the
emergency
food
distribution
is
that
their
layers
of
benefit
there's
the
direct
relief
with
the
food
distribution,
there's
an
element
of
small
business
relief
because
you're
engaging
at
least
some
restaurants
as
well
as
employees
of
those
restaurants.
On
the
small
business
side,
you
know
one
of
the
criteria
might
be
the
employee,
low-income
workers.
J
E
J
F
A
We
just
flip
that
around
a
little
bit.
Josh
are
you?
Okay
with
that
that
we
have
three
$350,000
for
the
emergency
food
distribution
and
then
we
definitely
are
going
to
need
some
more
details
for
the
small
business
relief,
but
Josh
race
and
great
questions
and
I
think
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
it
is
going
to
help
not
the
employers
but
the
employees.
A
A
We
can
fill
an
immediate
need
by
putting
more
money
into
that
emergency
food
distribution
and
give
it
to
some
restaurants
that
are
already
open
and
are
able
to
put
some
people
back
to
work
and-
and
that
would
be
helpful
with
with
helping
people
eat
and
putting
money
in
other
people's
pockets.
That
can
work
I.
I
B
A
D
B
D
Just
gonna
say
that
I
would
agree
with
taking
some
out
of
the
small
business
and
going
into
the
food,
because
you
are
helping
a
small
business
in
most
cases.
Restaurants,
so
I
think
we're
just
transferring
dollars
from
a
small
business
account
into
something
that
I
think
is
critical,
because
not
we're
talking
about
hot
food,
probably
from
a
restaurant
instead
of
the
packaged
food
that
the
school's
doing
a
tremendous
job
but
I
don't
know
how
much
is
hot,
so
I
think
that
I
would
be
for
that
and
I
do
think.
D
We
need
some
guidelines
and
I
think
from
what
Aaron
talked
about
I.
Think
it's
a
good.
You
know
it
sounds
really
good,
because
there
is
never
gonna
be
enough
dollars
and
we've
got
to
narrow
it
in
to
the
people
we
can
help
the
most
and
that
would
possibly
be
the
people
who
are
paying
rent
for
the
buildings
they
I.
Don't
know
if
that's
a
question,
but
who's
paying
rent
is
more
impacted
than
if
you
were
owned,
your
own
building
or
whatever
I
do
think
more
needs
to
get
her
food
because
you're
helping
small
business.
E
Mayor,
if
I
could
again
there's
a
sky
so
I
understand,
the
proposal
would
be
to
lower
the
small
business
to
750
and
put
the
250
down
into
the
emergency
food
to
make
that
350,
I
think
a
couple
things
that
does
not
impact
the
private
match,
because
the
private
match
is
on
the
other
source,
the
half
a
million
were
bringing
in
of
IDI
funds.
So
that's
a
good
good
thing
that
lowering
the
CBD
would
not
impact
the
private
match
and
my
understanding
it
also
does
not
impact
the
counties
for
to
surfing.
That's
great.
E
B
O
F
C
J
I
think
getting
those
dollars
to
small
businesses
that
are
owned
by
people
of
color
is
one
of
the
ways
that
we
can
hit.
The
multiple
benefits,
the
other
piece
again
I
want
to
emphasize,
is
getting
dollars
and
knowing
that
the
dollars
are
going
to
go
to
employees
or
that
folks
are
going
to
be
taken
care
of
in
that
way,
that
that's
that's
multiple
layers,
the
payroll
piece,
so
that
that
to
me
is
a
really
important
detail
in
terms
of
that
that
part
of
the
program.
R
Was
sorry,
I
was
just
going
to
say
for
many
of
our
small
businesses
that
are
in
low-income
areas,
and
you
know
just
cut
are
coming
from
disadvantaged
communities
are
now
having
challenges
dealing
with
this.
It's
going
to
be
a
lot
more
difficult,
getting
them
the
dollars
as
it
relates
to
the
food
component
in
a
massive
way.
There
will
be
some
impact
for
sure
that
we
can
make
it
from
that
vantage
point,
but
many
of
our
businesses,
as
we're
seeing,
are
not
even
equipped
to
open
their
doors
because
they
don't
have
the
cash
flow.
E
The
the
EF
e
is
funding
for
homeless
prevention,
and
there
are
two
aspects
that
we
anticipate:
spending
that
funding
on,
one
of
which
is
the
computer
software
and
the
information
system
that
we
need
to
for
tracking
and
then
also
I
spoken
to
all
of
you
about
some
of
the
shelter
needs
and
I
know.
Melissa
has
has
reached
out
to
to
to
many
of
you
as
well.
E
There's
a
cost
of
that
the
county
is
also
chipping
in
to
help
pay
for
that,
and
so
some
of
these
funds
that
you
see
at
the
last
line
item
would
be
spent
on
some
of
those
costs
in
the
housing.
Those
individuals
at
this
point
in
time,
I
think
we
have
about
fifty
to
sixty
thousand
dollars
of
bills
to
be
paid
for
that
cost.
I
would
anticipate
that
amount
doubling
on
the
temporary
use
of
those
hotels
and,
and
so
you
could
easily
see
a
hundred
and
twenty
to.
E
H
C
G
Yep
I'm
here
the
one
thing
I
would
like
to
add
with
all
of
our
ESG
funding
annually,
we
go
through
a
review
process
with
the
Polk
County
could
team
up
there.
So
that's
one
piece:
we're
still
waiting
on
tomorrow,
they're
having
a
board
meeting,
make
a
recommendation
on
the
the
remaining
nine
hundred
and
sixty
four
thousand
on
how
to
split
that
between
those
three
categories.
So
once
we
have
that
recommendation
and
really
maybe
making
a
recommendation
to
Council
on
how
those
funding
will
be
used.
E
Thank
you
Chris
and
so
to
remind
the
council.
We
have
a
May
4th
hearing
to
also
get
public
input
and
we
can
change
the
documents
for
May
4th
to
reflect
this
conversation
that
we're
having
now
so
mayor.
There's
not
a
I
am
looking
for
consensus,
so
we
can
take
our
next
steps
so
somewhat
of
a
vote
so
to
speak,
but
just
looking
for
consensus
that
what
we
just
talked
about
there
applications
is
acceptable
to
council
and
we
we
can
move
those
forward.
I
do.
B
E
D
N
J
Yes,
I
am
in
agreement
with
the
direction
this
is
heading.
The
piece
I
want
to
emphasize
is
I
hope
between
now
and
May,
4th
that
we
can
get
some
additional
details,
particularly
on
the
small
business
side,
I
and
I
would
say,
I
still
I,
like
the
idea
of
maybe
committing
that
general
amount,
but
having
some
in
the
initial
commitment
and
then
the
remainder
contingent
on
what
we
see
in
terms
of
details
and
some
of
the
and
demonstrated
need.
C
E
B
E
F
E
A
I
mean
I
think
misses,
did
you're
pointed
out
that
I
mean
they're
going
to
need
money
to
get
reopen
and
get
get
going,
and
if
the
governor
opens
up
even
at
50%
in
two
weeks,
we're
not
being
much
of
a
help
to
anyone
at
that
point
for
a
small
business,
so
I
just
wondering
why
we're
we're
not
voting
on
it
now
and
I
mean
if
we
could
come
to
a
consensus.
Why
aren't
we
voting
on
it
now
and
then
you
can
start
taking
the
application
two
weeks.
E
A
Is
that
June
also
Scott?
Can
we
come
to
the
concerns
boat
on
this
tonight
and
get
get
it
moving?
We
can
get
the
more
details
for
the
small
business
as
Josh
pointed
out.
There
is
many
questions
and
I
agree
with
him
that
we
need
some
questions
answered,
but
as
far
as
feeding
people
I'd
like
to
see
an
immediate
impact
to
to
help
eat.
F
E
A
I'm
in
consensus
to
what
we
talked
about
for
the
last
hour
about
it,
I
mean
I.
Think
there's
some
great
questions
raised,
but
I
mean,
if
we're
going
to
talk
about
it
for
another
honor
I'm.
A
fourth
yeah
I'll
make
the
motion
to
move
it
with
some
of
the
changes
that
we
made.
Can
we
just
vote
or
and
then
we
can
talk
about
it
on
May
4th
again
well,.
E
B
Now
right,
thank
you
all
for
the
input.
This
is
important
work
and
it's
got
I
think
you
got
the
message
that
you
want
to
move.
It
is
expeditiously
as
possible
and
I
want
to
thank
Deidre
and
Cameron
for
their
and
put
on
this
as
well,
and
please
stay
engaged
in
this
gonna
need
all
the
support
we
can
get
from
the
whole
community.
F
C
C
F
B
R
Hear
me
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
the
time,
one
of
the
things
that
we
didn't
go
through
our
entire
program,
but
we
can
potentially
go
through
it.
Look
on
May
4th
if
necessary,
but
our
program
is
up
and
running.
Like
I
said,
we've
already
received
over
400
applications,
but
these
four
applications
over
the
weekend
and
our
fiscal
agent
Iowa
community
capital
is
a
CDFI,
and
so
we
can
receive
those
funds
at
any
point
in
time
to
start
dispersing
to
communities
throughout
the
city
of
joy.
D
N
B
The
right
well,
thank
you
all
very
much
and
let's
give
everybody
an
attaboy
I
appreciate
the
all
of
our
staff.
Now,
certainly
our
frontline
workers
that
are
helping
our
citizens
every
single
day
and
from
police
and
fire
to
Public
Works
to
Parks,
and
you
all
the
people
that
are
on
the
phone
and
participated
in
all
of
our
work.
So
thank
you
to
each
and
every
one
of
you
and
if
somebody
can
give
us
a
motion,
why
don't
we
have
it
to
adjourn
this
meeting
I'll.
