To
time.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
by
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
des
moines
iowa
that
the
procedural
rules
of
the
city
of
des
moines
are
hereby
amended
by
amending
rules,
11
and
12
thereof,
and
to
reflect
the
attached
changes
in
the
conduct
of
the
city
council
meetings
commencing
after
the
adoption
and
approval
of
these
amendments,
of
which
I
sort
of
highlighted
just
a
moment
ago.
E
G
A
B
D
M
A
G
All
right
item
three
is
approving
the
consent
agenda.
These
are
items
three
through
51
generally.
These
are
general
business
of
the
city,
whether
it's
looking
at
public
improvements
or
licensure
or
setting
date
of
hearings,
and
usually
we
do
that
with
little
to
no
discussion,
but
does
it
anybody
want
to
make
a
quick
comment
as
we
approve
our
consent
agenda.
I
G
C
G
A
G
All
right,
we
have
concluded
the
consent.
I
want
to
remind
everybody
that
there
are
those
items
where
the
public
comment
is
not
taken
or
to
convey
information
generally
to
the
council.
The
city
manager
residents
are
encouraged
to
submit
letters
or
emails
or
texts
or
phone
calls,
with
additional
comments
or
information
to
assure
they
are
sharing
the
information
that
are
pertinent
to
these
issues
that
they
would
like
to
share.
A
G
Start
with
item
52,
which
is
ordinances
first
consideration,
52
is
amending
chapter
46
of
the
municipal
code
relating
to
high-rise
buildings.
A
is
a
final
consideration,
the
ordinance
above
the
waivers
requested
by
the
manager
and
requires
six
votes.
Mr
manager,
you
want
to
make
quick
comment
on
this.
One.
B
G
B
C
G
A
F
B
Mr
mayor,
I
I
believe
that
suanne
is
working
on
a
a
good
neighbor
agreement
and
also
an
agreement
for
the
patio
sound
that
we're
trying
to
work
with
the
owners
of
the
club
525
to
to
get
that
squared
away
as
council
member
voss
and
myself
have
had
many
complaints
over
the
past
few
months
of
of
noise
and
and
other
problems.
So
we're
hoping
that
the
owners
of
club
two
five,
two
five,
if
they're
listening,
we
would
love
to
have
them
sit
down
with
suan
and
work
out.
C
G
C
G
M
Thank
you
mayor.
This
is
in
fact
we
have
two
or
three
of
these
in
our
area
that
are
trouble
spots
that
we
need
to
address
this
one.
In
particular,
they
have
a
business
model
that
I
don't
know
if
they,
if
they
care,
if
it
works
or
not,
but
this
one
was
robbed
last
week,
it's
a
sister
store
on
4900
urbandale
was
robbed
last
week
within
two
days
to
get
and
goes
robbed.
The
troubling
thing
about
this
is
that
these
are
not
in
a
commercial
setting.
M
These
are
nestled
right
into
a
residential
neighborhood
and
we're
putting
our
neighbors
at
risk
in
case
something
bad
happens.
What
I
want
to
do
is
is
continue
this,
at
least
until
the
december
7th
meeting
give
us
a
month
and
then
refer
to
the
city,
manager
and
city
legal,
and
we
need
to
sit
down
and
set
a
plan
that
will
these
guys
will
follow
and
work
so
that
we
can
keep
our
neighborhoods
safe.
M
It's
just
not
a
good
working
model
in
our
city
to
have
these
stores
constantly
being
held
up,
and
what
I
always
say
is
it's
probably
because
lack
of
personnel
there's,
usually
one
person
in
this
store.
So
you
know
it's
it's
a
bad
way
of
doing
business.
We
need
to
make
them
understand
that
this
is
not
acceptable
behavior
in
our
community,
but
I'd
like
to
again
continue
it
to
the
december
7th
meeting
and
refer
to
the
city,
manager
and
city
legal,
put
something
together
that
has
some
teeth.
A
G
E
Mr
mayor,
I'm
sorry,
mr
mayor,
I
I
don't
know
if
we
are
we're
planning
on
asking,
I
don't
think
we
asked
if
the
public
had
any
items
to
pull
from
consent
or
really
if
we
gave
them
an
opportunity
to
speak
on
item
52
as
a
first
ordinance.
I
I'm
not
sure.
Procedurally,
maybe
ask
the
city
attorney
what
what
we
do
on
those
items.
G
J
On
that
yeah,
yes,
sir
honor-
and
I
understood
it-
there
was
a
person
that
requested
that
item
22
be
pulled,
but
no
council
member
moved
it
and
it
requires
council
concurrence
for
it
to
be
moved.
It
was
a
setting
date
of
hearing,
so
any
discussion
other
than
what
was
the
appropriate
date
for
the
hearing
would
not
have
been
germaine
to
that
item
and
council
did
not
move
to
continue
as
to
the
ordinance
on
52.
J
G
H
What
we're
doing
here
so
the
city
has
a
an
agreement
with
revenues
coming
in
from
sales
tax
and
hotel
tax
generated
within
a
defined
area
downtown
that
includes
the
new
hotel.
This
action
changes
that
boundary
to
include
a
couple
more
retailers
such
that
we
will
receive
additional
funding
through
the
ira
state
mechanism.
G
C
A
C
A
G
All
right
that
brings
us
to
the
end
of
that
ordinances.
We've
got
communications
reports.
We've
got
a
few
minutes
to
get
started
on
this.
You
know
for
the
persons
of
wishing
to
speak
this
evening
under
the
public
speaking
items
of
the
agenda.
We
will
be
only
calling
on
those
who
have
registered
to
speak
so
because
of
the
number
of
speakers
this
evening.
Although
there
have
been
a
couple
withdrawals,
each
speaker
is
now
going
to
receive
a
minute
15.
G
G
G
G
O
Hello,
my
name
is
adam
callanan.
I
live
downtown.
I
use
hem
pronouns,
so
a
lot
of
us
came
as
being
today
because
we
are
demanding
changes
to
the
city
of
council
rules
mainly
restoring
the
old
rules,
because
it
is
grotesque
and
horrific
that
city
councils
decided
because
people
care
more,
they
should
talk
less,
which
is
what's
happening,
but
explicitly
also.
I
think
it's
weird
that
mayor
county
keeps
adding
new
rules,
even
though
county
is
refusing
to
follow
existing
rules.
O
O
Frank
county
has
recused
himself
over
this
before,
but
instead
he
just
blew
through
the
consent
agenda
without
allowing
comment
on
what
to
pull
or
recusing
himself,
and
in
addition,
we
also
see
that
we
know
that
the
mpd
is
not
even
following
the
laws
we
have
between
the
mass
mandate
and
now,
chief
dana
winger
just
said
that
he
wasn't
going
to
follow
city
rules.
Regarding
marijuana
and
having
a
police
chief
who
publicly
expresses,
he
doesn't
feel
like
he
has
to
follow,
the
law
is
horrifying
and
I'm
horrified
to
be
here
right
now.
G
C
C
C
P
P
P
People
are
going
45
miles
an
hour
down.
The
street
cars
are
being
hit.
I'm
afraid
that
if
there's
a
child
during
the
day
that's
going
to
be
hit,
I've
lived
on
the
south
side,
my
43
years
of
life.
I've
never
lived
on
a
street
that
has
parking
on
both
sides,
I'm
just
hoping
that
somebody
can
help
me
with
the
traffic
in
this
parking
on
both
sides.
P
G
G
Q
Q
Q
G
A
is
the
first
consideration.
The
ordinance
above
b
is
the
final
consideration,
the
orange
above
the
waivers
requested
by
abby
gilroy,
the
executive
director
of
the
neighborhood
development
corporation,
who
is
the
property
owner,
and
this
will
require
six
votes.
I
want
to
these
are
hearing
items.
I
just
want
to
remind
everybody
that
for
hearing
items
this
evening
we
have
only
one
item
which
is
a
zoning
item,
and
that's
this
one
in
a
vacation
hearing
and
then
several
other
hearing
items.
G
G
So
for
the
zoning
item,
which
again
is
item
56
tonight,
we
will
hear
from
the
parties
of
interest
then
from
the
general
public.
So
the
party
of
interest
include
only
the
applicant
for
the
rezoning
and
those
living
within
the
250
feet
of
the
property
to
be
re-zoned,
to
whom
the
city
has
sent
notices.
G
G
To
add
the
city
clerk
and
calling
on
the
parties
in
interest.
I
will
ask
everyone
else
to
not
raise
their
hand
on
the
zoom
call
unless
they
are
the
zoning
applicant
or
that
those
that
live
within
that
250
feet
and
had
received
mailed
notice
of
the
rezoning.
Anyone
who
raises
their
hand
before
it
is
their
time
will
be
compared
to
the
mail
list
and,
if
not
on
that
list,
you're
going
to
be
considered
disruptive
and
will
not
be
recognized
for
the
remainder
of
the
other
meeting.
G
So
please
wait
until
I
call
on
the
general
public
for
the
zoning
item,
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
hand.
They'll
be
called
on
for
up
to
15
minutes
of
total
germaine
comment
at
two
minutes
per
person
again
tonight.
That
zoning
item
is
item
56
quickly
for
the
other
items
that
are
not
zoning
items
which
are
items
57
through
64.
The
public
may
raise
their
hands
immediately
upon
me.
G
Reading
the
item
for
comments
their
germaine
to
that
item.
Only
for
the
vacation
and
conveyance
hearings
each
is
designed
to
allow
the
public
to
come
and
concerning
the
discontinuance
of
the
use
of
city,
property
and
conveyance
of
property
interest.
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
jermaine
comment
and
not
to
exceed
two
minutes
per
person
for
the
c
d
b:
g,
slash
home,
etc.
G
M
Yeah
I
was
going
to
wait
till
the
end,
but
I
this
has
been
something
that
we've
been
working
on.
As
most
of
you
know,
I'm
on
the
ndc
board
of
directors,
and
I
can't
begin
to
tell
you
how
wonderful
it
is
working
with
abby,
gilroy
and
making
these
things
happen
around
and
in
collaboration
with
the
drake
university.
M
We
first
took
the
challenge
of
32nd
floors
right
across
the
street
and
put
a
great
apartment
complex
in
there,
and
now
we're
taking
mark
schneider's,
auto
repair
shop
and
converting
that
into
cases.
The
first
cases
that's
not
going
to
have
gas
pumps
as
part
of
their
site
plan.
So
this
is
absolutely
great
project.
M
M
Thanks
josh,
I
appreciate
your
concern
and
keep
in
mind
nbc's
only
buying
the
land
they
are
going
to,
let
casey's
take
it
over
in
no
way
is
ndc
going
to
be
the
development
partner
on
this,
it's
just
to
purchase
the
land
as
it
became
available,
and
so
that
we
can
move
forward
with
a
good,
comprehensive
plan
that
we
can
work
with
drake
university
on
so
you're
right.
We're
not
we're
not
interested
in
opening
up
convenience
stores.
N
All
right
great,
thank
you
for
your
time
tonight.
I'll
be
brief.
This
is
abby
gilbert,
neighborhood
development,
corporation
2331
university
avenue
just
wanted
to
kind
of
give
you
the
background
story
on
this.
We,
as
bill
said
we
purchased
this
property
from
mr
schneider
this
year,
we've
been
in
discussions
with
him
really,
since
we
developed
the
apartment
building
there
just
to
the
west
across
the
street.
It
was
a
property
that
ndc
saw
potential
in
and
our
intent
was
to
purchase
that
in
order
to
continue
our
efforts
of
revitalization
along
forest.
N
With
our
plans,
we
had
intended
to
do
a
single
story.
Retail
building
here
we
were
approached
by
casey's
in
the
winter
it
was.
It
was
right
before
covet
hit
and
we
were
talking
with
them
as
they
wanted
to
do
a
neighborhood
type
market,
and
so
for
us.
What
we
tend
to
do
in
that
situation
is
really
consider
the
plan
with
our
board
what
they
intend
to
do
to
make
sure
it
meets
neighborhood
desires.
N
We
meet
with
the
neighborhood
itself
to
make
sure
that
it
is
something
that
they
want
in
the
neighborhood
and
then,
quite
frankly,
we
get
out
of
the
way,
if
there's
private
interest
in
ground
that
we
own
we
like
to
consider
like,
I
said,
the
use
to
make
sure
it
will
fit
in,
but
other
than
that
we
we
try
to
get
out
of
the
way
of
public
dollars
or
private
dollars.
Excuse
me
so,
with
that
we've
been
working
very
diligently
with
their
design
team
with
cases
themselves.
We
like
that.
It's
a
local
operator.
N
N
Then
we
met
with
the
full
neighborhood
in
august
and
again
in
november,
we've
sent
out
notices
for
the
rezoning
back
in
september,
and
then
we
sent
out
notices
again
here
in
october
for
the
cup
liquor
license
request
and
then
had
our
planning
and
zoning
hearing
on
october
1st,
we
did
not
receive
any
negative
feedback
in
any
of
those
settings
or
in
response
to
the
letters
we
received,
one
phone
call,
and
that
was
in
support
from
a
local
owner
in
that
area.
So
we've
had
really
great
feedback
from
the
neighborhood.
N
We've
had
good
feedback
really
throughout.
So
we're
hopeful
that
this
will.
I
think
the
neighborhood's
excited
to
have
something
walkable
where
they
can
go
and
get
a
gallon
of
milk
or
love
for
bread
or
whatever
they
want
pizza.
What
have
you
so
if
they
can
provide
that
for
the
neighborhood,
where
our
organization
was
comfortable,
allowing
them
to
proceed
so
again,
we're
just
hanging
on
we
own
the
land?
They
will
develop
the
store
and
we
will
just
essentially
get
out
of
the
way
once
they
have
their
zoning
and
site
plan
approval.
D
N
Yeah
and
we
did
send
out
a
letter
specific
to
the
liquor
sales,
because
I
didn't
want
those
words
to
be
out,
and
then
we
held
a
public
hearing
on
the
4th
of
november.
Just
last
week
or
a
neighborhood
meeting
excuse
me
and
we
did
not
have
any
negative
feedback.
It
seems
that
the
neighborhood
was
comfortable
with
the
operator
and
the
policies
that
they
have
in
place.
For
that.
F
R
R
I'd
also
like
to
note
that
college
students
often
smoke
a
lot
of
weed
and
since
the
city
has
been
considering
cannabis,
enforcement
and
police
chief
winger
just
stated
publicly
that
he
is
not
going
to
be
considering
the
city's.
You
know
laws
that
they
make
around
this
or
their
ordinances
or
their
recommendations.
R
After
refusing
to
be
a
part
of
the
marijuana
task
force,
I'm
just
kind
of
concerned
about
putting
college
students
at
risk
of
police
violence
since
policewinger
decided
that
he
could
do
whatever
he
wants
without
listening
to
the
council
at
all.
So
for
that
reason,
I'm
kind
of
against
this.
This
is,
I
believe,
my
ward.
I
believe
that's
why
nope
they
muted
me.
R
All
right,
this
is
my
water.
That's
why
my
councilmember
was
talking
about
it
but
yeah.
I
just
think
it's
prioritizing
the
wrong
things.
I
think
that
this
just
is
a
place
that
the
cops
are
going
to
come
more
often
to
be
just
kind
of
patrolling
and
talking
to
college
students
and
looking
looking
for
for
people
who
are
smoking
marijuana,
you
know
intentionally
since
they're,
trying
to
do
the
opposite
of
the
intentions
of
the
council,
who
set
up
the
marijuana
task
force
so
yeah.
Those
are
my
concerns
I
just
don't.
A
T
Hello,
how
are
you
doing
council
it's
good
to
be
here?
Speaking
on
item
56,
I
would
say
that
you
know
it
does
sound
like
it
could
be
a
good
idea
if
their
intent
is
to
be
a
market,
because
I
do
know-
and
I've
heard
many
complaints
of
there
being
a
lack
of
like
access
to
produce
and
and
things
that
you
would
find
at
a
grocery
store
in
that
area
in
the
drake
neighborhood.
T
I
would
caution,
though,
after
hearing
bill
gray
talk
about
how
he
really
wants
to
make
forest
avenue
student
friendly.
As
he
said,
you
know,
I
don't
think
that
it's
bad
to
make.
You
know
improvements
to
to
student
activities
and
things
around
there,
but
I
would
caution
against
gentrification
in
that
area.
We
do
know
that
forest
avenue
is
predominantly
black,
a
black
neighborhood
living
around
that
campus.
T
So
I
would
caution
against
genderifying
that
area
and
you
know,
raising
the
property
value
around
there
and
pushing
people
out
and
pushing
folks
who
have
lived
there
for
a
long
time
out.
We
know
that
the
city
has
a
racist
history
of
doing
this
already,
so
just
want
to
raise
that
red
flag
and
make
a
caution
for
that.
Also,
on
the
note
of
connie
of
council
member
connie,
bozen
raising
the
flag
of
them
selling,
liquor
I'll,
say
back
to
the
liquor
license
thing
with
club
525.
T
That
is
a
black-owned
club,
and
I
do
find
it
a
little
interesting
that
councilmember,
gatto
and
councilmember
voss
both
want
to
really
raise
a
lot
of
questions
and
suspicions
about
that
club.
Just
saying
that
they
heard
noise
complaints,
I
mean
it
is
a
nightclub
and
it
is
in
downtown
in
the
east
village.
That's.
T
G
U
Can
you
hear
me
okay,
yeah,
so
thank
you
so
much
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
I
want
to
just
for
future
notice
say
that
I
am
at
work,
so
it
may
take
me
longer
to
unmute
myself,
but
on
the
the
consent
item
here,
I
I
just
want
to
go
ahead
and
caution
and
really
just
bring
to
light
that.
I'm
really
concerned
that
you
know
we're
we're
focusing
so
much
on
on
liquor
licenses
and
everything
when
we
have
a
police
chief
who,
you
know
is
basically
saying
he's
gonna
do
whatever
he.
U
Wants
I'm
pretty
sure
that
is
jermaine,
since
they
were
talking
about
liquor
licenses
as
connie
bozen
brought
forward
speaking
about
the
liquor
license
and
the
concern
that
she
had
with
them
selling
liquor
in
that
neighborhood?
So
I'm
pretty
sure
you
know
me
me
expressing
my
concern
about
the
liquor
license
and
you
know
our
concern
for
where
we're
selling
alcohol
and
we
have
a
police
chief
who's
willing
to
do
whatever
the
hell
he
wants
to
us
pretty
sure.
That's
germany.
O
Yes,
thank
you.
I
want
to
uplift
what
india
and
jalen
said
especially
know.
That's
an
area
where
there
is
like
a
lack
of
markets,
so
I
think
in
that
way
this
could
be
good
there,
but
again
with
like-
and
I
just
feel
weird
about
encouraging
places
to
sell
liquor
right
now
and
we're
like
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic
that
and
that's
not
something
that
council
is
interested
in
talking
about
it's,
not
the
agenda
but
unity.
Point
the
one
health
just
reported
that
all
hospitals
are
at
capacity
with
that.
O
So
I
want
to
bring
it
up
because
it's
like
breaking
news
as
well,
but
it's
just
like,
while
that's
happening,
if
we're
going
to
be
like
letting
people
like
encouraging
people
to
sell
alcohol,
and
that's
like
what's
on
the
agenda,
I
don't
know.
I
just
feel
like
that.
Piece
of
this
is
not
something
that
I
would
prioritize
right
now
in
general
or
in
that
area.
Yeah.
That's
all.
I
have
to
say
thank.
F
V
Hi
folks,
this
is
chelsea
chisholm
vargas,
my
pronouns.
Are
she
her
aya?
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
I
don't
support
this.
I
feel
like
des
moines
has
the
most
gas
stations
than
any
other
place
ever
so
why
we're
rezoning
for
more
is
beyond
me.
There's
also
forest
mart.
That's
already
on
forest
ave,
so
chelsea
have.
V
That
thanks
for
that
absolutely
irrelevant
comment.
I
understand:
there's
not
going
to
be
gasol
there.
It's
like
all
these
convenience
stores
they're
at
every
single
corner.
If
we're
interested
in
this,
because
perhaps
they
can
get
some
fresh
produce,
which
most
likely
will
look
like
some
cut
up
fruit
in
a
cup,
let's
actually
prioritize
a
real
grocery
store
in
this
area.
V
The
fact
that,
like
liquor
is
the
selling
point
is
just
so
sad.
This
community
needs
a
lot
more
support
than
than
alcohol,
so
if
we
could
just
simply
prioritize,
perhaps
supporting
the
businesses
that
are
already
on
that
street
like
foresmart
and
not
supporting
another
freaking
casey's
in
des
moines
would
be
really
really
great.
I
I
don't
see
how
this
is.
V
W
Hi
this
is
molly
arndt.
I
use
they
them
or
sheet
her
pronouns.
I
would
just
like
to
say
that,
as
a
resident
of
this
neighborhood,
I
would
really
like
to
see
like
an
actual
grocery
store,
with
real
healthy
produce
that
is
affordable
and
walkable.
That's
my
primary
concern.
We
don't
need
another
gas
station.
There's
a
mcdonald's
like
right.
Next
to
where
I
live.
We
don't
need
those
convenience
things,
there's
a
come
and
go
right.
W
There
like
we
need
actual
access
to
fresh,
healthy
produce
that
is
affordable,
especially
for
people
that
don't
have
cars
or
access
to
transportation,
since
a
lot
of
people
might
not
feel
comfortable
taking
like
public
transportation
or
a
bus
during
a
pandemic,
when
mass
adherence
of
the
city
is
not
as
good
as
it
should
be.
I
would
also
like
to
echo
indira's
comments
about
attracting
potential
like
police,
violence
and
police
presence
through
the
selling
of
liquor
to
primarily
college
students.
That's
a
concern
that
I
have
as
well.
W
X
You
know,
and
so,
when
that's
gone,
what
are
we
like?
What's
going
to
be?
What's
going
to
be
the
benefit
for
the
rest
of
the
community?
Another
another
liquor
store
another
place
where
they
can't
get
food
like
that?
That's
not
that's
not
going
to
be
good
for
the
community,
they'll
be
there
after
drake
is
gone,
and
I
really
think
that
if
we
do
this
rezoning
for
another
casey's,
it
really
shows
a
lack
of
care
for
our
neighborhoods
and
for
our
our
communities
that
are
already
here
and
are
not
transient
in
nature.
Thank
you.
Y
There
we
go
chris,
christopher
morris,
35,
17,
52nd
street
des
moines
iowa.
Thank
you,
mayor,
county
and
des
moines
city
council
for
giving
me
this
opportunity
to
speak.
The
thoughts
that
I
wanted
to
add
was
just
in
regards
to
the
the
liquor
license
that
I'm
not.
I
wanted
to
bring
it
to
council's
attention
that
in
the
most
recent
planning
and
zoning,
I
believe
it
was
planning
and
zoning.
Y
I'm
sorry.
Zoning
board
of
adjustment
meeting
on
october
28th
that
casey's
general
store
had
four
or
five
other
requests
for
rezoning
for
liquor
licenses
that
were
pulled
by
the
applicant's
request
for
that
meeting.
Without
a
reschedule
to
my
knowledge,
so
we
do
have
a
push,
and
just
in
case
you
weren't
aware
for
casey's
marketing
to
ask
for
liquor
licensing
across
the
city,
and
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
was
on
your
radar.
The
second
thing
that
I
wanted
to
point
out
was
before
I
became
a
resident
of
the
rural
hay
neighborhood.
Y
I
had
been
a
member
of
the
drake
neighborhood
for
quite
a
long
time
moving
there
in
2000
sorry
moving
there
actually
in
98
and
spending
a
lot
of
my
20s.
Just
a
couple
blocks
away
from
this
new
site.
I
know
abby
gilroy
and
her
peers
do
a
really
good
job
of
finding
opportunities
to
improve
neighborhoods.
Y
G
Z
Z
True
investment
in
this
neighborhood
would
look
like
recruiting
and
supporting
a
full-service
locally
owned
grocery
store,
not
another
casey's,
and
there
was
discussion
from
the
council
being
worried
about
safety
in
the
neighborhood,
especially
around
observation
and
enforcement
of
liquor
laws,
and
I
think
really,
if
we're
worried
about
the
safety
of
people
living
in
that
neighborhood
and
all
over
this
city,
we
need
to
be
worried
that
a
known,
abusive
and
racist
man
is
leading
our
police
department.
I
mean
he
said
that
he's
going
to
ignore
any
rules
that
remain.
I
believe
it
is.
Z
R
R
Hayden,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that,
oh
first
of
all,
my
pronouns
are
she
here
also.
I
wanted
to
say
that
I
also
agree
with
the
statements
that
have
been
made
previously,
first
of
all
about
how
we
should
really
be
careful
with
gentrifying
the
drake
neighborhood.
I
know
that
you
guys
are
very
concerned
about
making
it
like
a
community
space
or
making
it
better
or
whatever,
but
I
I
heard
you
know
chelsea
previously
mentioned
that
there's
actually
already
a
convenience
store
there.
R
So
I'm
wondering
what
about
that
convenience
store,
makes
it
not
student
friendly
that
the
casey
store
would
be
more
student-friendly
and
I'm
kind
of
wondering
if
that's
like
a
race
issue,
or
something
like
that,
that
you
guys
are
like
kind
of
thinking
that
maybe
that
store
isn't
a
safe
for
whatever
reason,
I'm
in
a
casey's
general
store
would
somehow
be
more
safe.
I'm
just
wondering
just
you
know,
trying
to
figure
out
all
of
the
things
here
and
then
also
with
that
trying
to
make
the
neighborhood
more
safe
for
students.
R
I'm
also
concerned
yeah
about
the
liquor
license
that
connie
bozen
had
brought
up
and
previous
comments
that
were
made
about
how
having
a
place
where
you
know
underage
college
students
are,
could
actually
bring
more
police
presence
to
the
area
and
therefore
you
know
make
it
not
as
safe,
which
you
guys
seem
to
be
really
worried
about
and
also
like.
If
there
is
an
increased
police
presence
there,
it
could
be
really
dangerous,
even
more
dangerous.
R
If
the
police,
who
are
then
called
to
the
area,
aren't
following
the
rules
that
are
laid
out
by
the
city-
and
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
they
are
employees
of
you,
I'm
pretty
sure
dana
wingert
is
hired
by
the
council-
is
elected.
The
city
manager,
okay,
the
city
manager,
elects
the
police
chief.
So
if
he's
not
following
the
rules
and
then
setting
that
thank.
C
AA
C
C
B
AB
G
To
item
57,
it's
on
the
vacation
of
a
segment
of
university
avenue
right
away,
adjoining
2650
university
avenue
in
a
conveyance
of
a
permanent
easement
for
building
encroachment
door
swing
to
hotel
francis
llc
for
a
hundred
dollars.
A
is
the
first
consideration
of
the
ordinance
above
council.
Any
comments
on
this
one.
G
AC
R
Thank
you.
Sorry.
I
had
to
get
rid
of
the
echo
there,
so
I'm
just
looking
at
this
vacating
a
part
of
the
right-of-way,
oh
yeah,
again
for
drake
university,
that's
interesting
a
place
where
there's
a
lot
of
weed
smokers
which
chief
winger
has
said
that
he
is
not
going
to
listen
to
the
council's
kind
of
decide
decision
on
what
they
do
so
vacating,
the
right-of-way
northerly
of
the
south
side.
R
You
know
it'd
really
be
convenient
if
you
guys
made
this
a
little
bit
more
readable
or
released
anything
that
helps
the
public
understand
what
anything
that
you're
doing
is.
But
you
know,
since
you've
changed
the
speaking
times
that
we
can't
even
speak
to
you
most
the
time,
I'm
not
surprised
that
you
don't
but
yeah.
So
my
concern
with
this,
mostly,
is
the
low
price
of
it.
I
don't
understand
why
it's
a
hundred
dollars.
R
R
F
U
T
T
T
Yeah,
I
was
just
you
know,
looking
out
for
y'all,
I
don't
want
y'all
to
be
breaking.
You
know
your
own
rules,
but
on
item
57,
you
know
the
drake
area,
as
indira
had
pointed
out,
does
have
a
lot
of
people
who
smoke
cannabis,
and
so
that
to
me
is
just
another
reminder
of
this
marijuana
task
force
that
has
been
brought
up
and
the
fact
that
chief
dana
winger
put
out
a
statement
saying
he
would
not
follow
the.
B
AD
Hi
my
name's
ava,
my
pronouns.
Are
she
her
before
I
get
started?
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
on
the
last
item,
when
jalen
spoke,
it
was
completely
and
totally
relevant
and
jalen
brought
the
perspective
of
why
that
neighborhood
needs
a
grocery
store,
not
a
gas
station.
So
I
don't
know
where
you
guys
were
we're
getting
that
from
on.
F
AD
S
Yeah
hi,
I'm
sarah,
can
you
hear
me
cool
my
pronouns?
Are
she
her?
I
would
just
have
to
start
off
by
saying
that
I
completely
agree
with
all
the
past
public
speakers.
I
this
is
my
first
time
actually
sitting
on
a
des
moines
city
council
meeting
and
it's
really
shocking
how
silenced
my
peers
are
and
the
local
leaders
around
here
that
are
doing
so
much
work.
I'd
have
to
agree.
G
AE
G
P
V
Thank
you.
I
just
unmuted
myself
so
in
regards
to
this
right-of-way
door
adjoining
I'm
a
little
confused
as
well
as
this
item.
57
states
it
for
a
hundred
dollars,
but
then,
if
you
actually
click
the
item,
it
says
113.,
so
I'm
a
little
confused
on
what
the
amount
is,
I'm
not
sure
where
the
who's
going
to
cover
the
13,
but
as
well,
I'm
looking
at
this
building
and
it's
if
I'm
looking
at
it
right
and
I'm
looking
at
page.
V
What
page
is
this?
The
last
page
13
on
this
number?
This
is
for
what
seems
to
be
it's
a
hotel.
So
it's
like
a
door
to
join
the
hotel
area
from
the
restaurant
area,
no
more
hotels
in
drake
neighborhood,
while
we
got
houseless
people
there.
So
I
don't
support
this.
It
says
in
the
reason
for
approving
this
it
says
project
will
be
great
for
the
city.
What
no
this
isn't
going?
No,
it's
not!
It's
gonna
be
great
for
this
hotel
and
everyone
who
frequents
it
not
even
them.
V
AF
Okay,
well,
on
that
note,
I'd
like
to
first
start
off
by
saying
that
you
need
to
give
us
time
to
unmute
ourselves.
It
doesn't
happen
magically
and
a
lot
of
times
k
fights
with
us
about
the
mute
button.
Okay,
I
want
to
echo
everything
that
chelsea
said,
and
I
also
want
you
to
give
miranda
an
opportunity
to
speak,
because
she
has
only
spoken
once
this
evening.
O
O
Coming
to
drake
neighborhood,
like
like
chelsea
said,
we
already
have
a
lot
of
hotels
and
I
noticed
the
disparity
between
the
the
attached
document
lists,
both
100
and
113
dollars,
which
isn't
a
very
big
difference,
but
it
just
seems
very
strange
that,
like
an
official
document
would
have
different
numbers
twice,
but
I
looked
more
and
there's
two
like
public
comments
associated
with
this,
both
from
alexander
gergich.
He
submitted
like
two
comments
in
the
same
day.
At
the
same
time,
both
just
saying
good
things.
O
This
is
the
only
two
comments
about
this
and
he's
actually
a
construction
and
development
person.
So
it
seems,
I
don't
know
something
seems
sketchy
between
the
difference
between
money
and
the
person.
Commenting
on
this
is
somebody
works
in
construction,
and
this
is
obviously
going
to
involve
construction
and
development
of
new
projects,
and
this
isn't
just
a
doorway.
So
I
don't
know
I
feel
like
this
is
just
something
that
smells
fishy
to
me,
especially
yeah.
There's
enough
confidence
of
interest
in
this
meeting
already.
O
G
AG
AG
C
G
A
F
R
Hi,
sorry,
we
have
multiple
computers
going
here
so
yeah.
I
just
wanted
to
comment
on
this.
It
looks
like
it's
just
a
conveyance
for
someone
to
do
construction
on
their
home,
and
I
guess
I'm
just
wondering
like
who
gets
the
privilege
of
doing
that
and
who
doesn't
there's
like
a
really
huge
house.
Is
this
problem
in
des
moines
and
there's
like
constant
evictions
for
houses
with
the
police
and
actually
those
are
illegal
evictions
that
they're
doing
as
well?
B
B
G
C
A
AH
AH
F
AH
Thank
you,
yeah.
I
would
just
like
to
comment
multiple
things.
I've
been
listening
to
the
entire
meeting
today
and
miranda
only
spoke
once
so.
There's
no
way
for
her
to
have
been
germained
out
two
times.
Also,
it's
pretty
clear
what
the
council
does
here.
You
don't
want
to
hear
from
the
actual
public.
You
only
want
to
hear.
G
G
V
Hi,
this
is
chelsea
chisholm
vargas,
my
pronouns.
Are
she
her
aya
speaking
on
agenda
item
number
58,
so
it
says
the
city
of
des
moines,
real
estate
division,
which
I
have
questions
about
their
real
estate
division
offered
to
purchase
a
temporary
easement
for
construction
and
construction
related
activities
from
donald
and
sandra
davidson
over
and
across
their
property.
I'm
trying
to
see
how
much
we
offered
to
purchase
this
for
looking
at
agenda
item
number
58,
I'm
not
seeing
the
amount
I'm
looking
at
the
map
too.
So
I
see
between
east
24th.
V
B
V
G
AF
A
AI
AI
I
mean
I
don't
know
if
that's
honestly,
just
me
being
uneducated
about
specific
terms,
but
I
kind
of
wish
that
these
items
were
just
kind
of
being
explained
a
little
bit
more
before
we
were
given
time
to
speak
and
I
also
just
wanted
to
say
we
really
need
to
stop
silencing
women
of
color,
especially
black
women.
It's
really
disturbing
to
see
what's
happening
here.
So
that's
all.
I
have
to
say.
AJ
Hey
mr
county,
mr
gatto,
thanks
for
having
me
on
guys,
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
talk
about
the
last
speaker
touched
on.
This
is
about
some
of
the
confusing
terms
you
guys
use
in
the
language
of
the
you
know
in
the
last
act
and
the
number
58
here
now
conveyance
means
the
action
or
process
of
transporting
someone
or
something
from
one
place
to
another,
so
reading
58
here
does
this
mean
and
joe
talk
to
me
about
this?
Let's
have
a
discussion
brother.
AJ
AJ
So
I
think
you'd,
be
you
do
a
good,
a
better
job
if
we
had
a
conversation
here
about
exactly
what
you're
talking
about
what
are
we
transferring
to
these
people
and
you're
silencing
indira
who's,
speaking
up
on
behance
on
behalf
of
houseless
people
in
this
community
who
may
be
able
to
use
that
land?
So
if
you
told
us
what
exactly
we're
talking
about
in
more
specific
terms
and
not
this
bureaucratic
nonsense,
I
think
it
would
be
more
germane
and
more
productive.
Thank
you
guys.
G
X
Hello,
hello,
hi,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
really
agree
with
a
lot
of
the
previous
speakers.
I
really
don't
know
what
this
sent,
and
this
is
saying-
and
I
don't
really
know
how
to
feel
about
it.
So
I
can't
encourage
you
to
vote
one
way
or
another.
Nothing
like
really
matters,
since
the
council
continues
to
vote
against
mai
and
all
the
people
who
speaks
interests.
X
So
I
really
don't
know
why
you
asked
for
these
comments,
if
you're
not
going
to
take
them
under
consideration
at
all.
You
know
since
we're
your
constituents
and
we
vote
for
you.
So
I
just
don't
know
how
you
can
continue
to
have
good
faith
in
what
you're
doing
in
your
job.
If
you
just
actively
spend
hours
of
your
lives,
ignoring
your
constituents
and
what
they
have
to
say,
just
because
you
disagree
does
not
mean
we
are
not
the
constituents.
We
have.
G
G
AA
O
Hello,
my
name
is
adam.
I
use
he
him
pronouns
yeah.
I
just
I'm
trying
to
understand
this
better
as
well.
A
lot
of
us
literally
like
went
through
this
agenda
and
tried
to
find
stuff
that
we
cared
about.
So
talking
about
how
you
just
said.
We
need
to
study
up.
We
have
set
it
up,
but
you
silence
us
on
anything
that
we
can
talk
about
like
consent
agenda.
O
So
I
would
just
wonder
if
I
don't
know
if
the
lawyer
could
rule
on
some
of
this
stuff,
especially
considering
we
know
that
mayor
county
just
voted
on
something
that
I
constantly
mentioned
was
his
relative.
It
just
it
seems
like
the
rules
here
are
just
not
being
followed.
Just
like
chief
dana
winger,
just
publicly
announced
he's
not
there
all
right.
That's
not
jermaine.
A
G
Move
on
item
59,
which
is
on
a
conveyance
of
a
permanent
easement
for
building
encroachment
in
a
portion
of
wavelength,
golf
course
located
west
of
an
adjoining
48,
41,
algonquin
road
to
corey,
l,
schooley
and
christine
k,
schooley
for
three
thousand
seven
hundred
and
forty
dollars.
Council
communication
number
20-495.
E
E
So
this
is
allowing
them
to
maintain
their
their
existing
well,
it
actually
provides
them
an
easement
which
they
didn't
previously
have
and
allows
them
to
maintain
their
property,
which
was
as
they
discovered,
not
necessarily
theirs.
So
it's
a
fairly
routine
thing,
I'm
very
appreciative
of
our
folks
in
parks
and
real
estate
for
working
through
this.
It's
just
one
of
those
quirks
of
being
an
older
city
and
glad
we
could.
We
could
help
solve
this
for
them.
So
after
we
hear
from
the
public,
I
will
happily
move
this
item.
G
F
A
AA
AK
My
name
is
rahima
mayfield.
I
use
she
her
pronouns.
My
question
on
this
is:
how
long
were
the
was?
Were
the
schooly
family
allowed
to
basically
build
and
own
the
land
on
wavelength
golf
course
if
they
were
already
using
the
land,
and
no
one
really
knew
about
it?
Why
would
you
charge
them
that
much
money?
As
you
said,
I
believe
it
was
mentioned.
They
were
an
older
couple
that
money
really
should
go
towards
retirement
and
also
the
land
that
they
have
wasn't
really
theirs.
AK
F
F
R
Yep
you're
on
hi,
this
is
peyton
shoemaker.
She
her
so
first.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
it
is
not
allowed
for
council
to
stop
people
from
speaking
when
they're,
making
a
non-german
comment
and
I'm
looking
at
rule
30
currently
of
the
city
council
rules.
So
this
comment
that
I'm
making
right
now
is
not
going
to
be
jermaine
at
all,
but.
R
G
R
F
AJ
Thank
you
mayor
for
giving
me
the
chance
to
speak.
I
wanted
to
you
know,
have
studying
up
on
you
guys
and
the
council.
In
your
background,
I
wanted
to
point
out
mr
mandelbaum
just
now
advocated
on
behalf
of
a
golf
course
that
is
one
of
the
largest
environmental
destroyers
out
there:
a
tremendous
waste
of
resources
and
water
and
land
we
could
be
using
that
to
build
homes
for
a
homeless
community
and
mr
mandelbaum,
who
claims
to
be
a
liberal
environmentalist,
just
advocated
on
behalf
of
a
golf
course.
AJ
P
AM
AM
O
Yeah,
so
this
is
one
that
we
looked
at
before.
As
I
mentioned,
we
went
to
the
agenda
beforehand,
I'm
not
sure
if
everybody
on
council
goes
through
the
agenda
beforehand,
but
we
took
a
few
hours
to
do
that
and
yeah.
We.
We
think
this
item
looks
pretty
normal,
but
it
seems
a
bit
weird
that
they're
charging
people
for
land
that
was
clearly
not
being
used
if
it
took
if
they
built
a
house
somewhere
and
then
later
on
the
homeowners
found
out
they
were
on
somebody
else's
land.
O
It's
very
clear
to
me
that
you
know
the
land
using
this
land
isn't
hurting
the
golfers
at
all.
So
I
just
I
think,
three
thousand
seven
hundred
especially
it
seems
like
a
lot
of
money
for
something
that
clearly
was
not
causing
any
harm
to
the
golf
course.
I
don't
know
how
the
golf
course
can
show
any
harm
is
happening
to
them
based
on
this,
especially
knowing
that
they
don't
really
own
the
land.
The
land
won't
be
just
people,
but
that's
a
different
issue.
O
I
also
just
have
a
question
in
general
point
of
information:
if
we're
not
supposed
to
follow
the
rules
that
are
online,
what
roles
are
we
supposed
to
follow
and
where
can
we
find
those?
Because,
I'm
I'm
not
sure,
is
peyton
brought
up
an
uplifted
rule
authority
mentions
that
after
the
fact
you
faded
on
your
main
comment,
you
can
be
blocked
from
speaking
after
a
couple
times,
but
nothing
about
cutting
people
off
which
is
what's
happening.
So
I
was
just
wondering
where
those
rules
exist
and
how
we
can
know
what
rules
to
follow.
G
U
AA
AC
AC
Okay,
so
how
can
we
assure
that
that
money
is
going
to
be
allocated
appropriately
where
it
needs
to
be,
and
then
on
the
other
aspect
of
that
I
just
want
to.
I
want
to
elevate
all
of
the
people
that
are
calling
in
and
being
shot
down
on
this.
You
guys
keep
doing
what
you're
doing
you're
doing
the
right
thing.
The
council
needs
to
be
listening
to
the
constituents
all.
G
N
N
Because
last
week
the
city
of
des
moines
issued
an
eviction
notice
to
only
over
20
houseless
people
living
near
downtown
des
moines
on
land
that
the
city
owns
and
housing
is
a
human
right
during
where
are
they
supposed
to
go
frank?
Do
you
want
them
to
come?
Live
with
you
des
moines
only
has
30
units
of
affordable
housing
for
every
100
families
that
need.
N
G
V
V
So
as
I'm
understanding
it
kristen
and
corey.
Schooley
apologies.
If
I'm
mispronouncing
your
last
name,
they
own
this
beautiful
house
that
I
just
looked
up
at
4841
algonquian,
which
I'm
pretty
sure
is
a
native
tribe
and
they
have
their
driveway.
Thank
you
mandelbaum
as
well.
For
explaining
that
situation.
They
have
their
driveway,
that's
actually
city
property,
and
now
they
have
to
pay
hundred
and
3740
dollars
for
land
that
they've
been
residing
on.
V
I'm
also
curious
what
the
city
is
gonna
do
with
that
money,
but
ultimately,
regarding
their
driveway
and
this
purchase
of
this
permanent
easement,
as
I'm
learning
the
language
better,
don't
do
it
no
tell
them
to
park
in
the
street
like
the
rest
of
us
have
to,
because
we
can't
afford
driveways
either.
I
would
not
pass
them
to
continue
using
their
driveway.
V
I
think
they're
that
that
that
easement
should
be
utilized
for
something
else.
Housing.
Perhaps
I
don't
know,
maybe
a
nice
farmer's
market
when
we
can
do
that
due
to
covid
being
an
issue,
but
I
think
these
folks
are
just
fine
not
using
their
driveway,
let
them
park
in
the
street
like
the
rest
of
us
working
class.
Folks,
sorry
to
no
one.
Thank
you.
Fine.
C
C
A
AA
C
G
AF
Yes,
mayor
county,
can
you
please
explain
when
it
is
a
good
time
to
discuss
the
council's
behavior,
because
it
seems
like
we've,
been
having
this
issue
all
summer,
and
you
want
to
call
germain-ness
every
time
we
bring
up
all
of
your
behavior
and
it
never
seems
like
it's
a
good
time
to
talk
about
it.
So
please
explain
to
us
when
we
are
able
to
talk
about
your
behavior
and.
AP
Oh
hi,
my
name
is
stephanie
cardwell.
I
live
in
des
moines
and
I
just
wanted
to
ask
one
thing
or
make
a
couple
statements
that
was
lennon
cardwell
talking
earlier,
I'm
her
mother
and
number
two.
Why
are
you
banning
indira
and
then
blaming
her
for
things
of
other
people?
It's
not
like
anybody
did
anything
wrong,
but
you
just
banned
indira
for
no
reason,
because
you
don't
like
her.
G
O
Well,
yeah,
I
think
my
name
is
adam
callanan.
I
use
him
pronouns.
I
think
that
working
with
this
type
of
stuff
making
house
making
you
know
development
for
houses.
Folks,
I
think
it's
in
the
right
direction.
I
don't
think
it
does
nearly
enough
friends
of
the
proposal.
As
I
mentioned
a
few
days
ago,
went
through
this.
O
It
seems
like
you're
like
hitting
the
minimum
requirements
for
a
lot
of
this
stuff,
which
is
kind
of
messed
up,
because
it's
we
know
that
these
requirements
were
made
before
the
pandemic
and
now
that
there's
so
many
more
people,
houseless
and
so
many
more
people
facing
eviction
come
january.
We're
gonna
need
more
and
more
housing
like
this.
I
also
wanted
to
point
out
this
deals
with
like
building
new
units,
but
we
know
there's
a
lot
of
vacancies
around
the
city.
I
rent
downtown
building
it.
O
You
all
aren't
like
ventures
you're,
not
renting
downtown,
but
when
you
look
for
apartments,
you
see
how
much
is
empty
and
how
many
of
these,
like
luxury
apartments
quote,
unquote,
are
empty.
So
I
would
just
ask
that
we
look
more
to
you
know
giving
empty
houses
to
houseless
people
and
the
apartments
to
homeless
people
instead
of
developing
new
houses
and
see,
if
that's
possible,
to
do
in
addition
to
this.
Thank
you.
F
W
Yes,
hi,
this
is
molly
art,
I
use
say
them
or
she
her
pronouns.
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
I'm
really
concerned
about
the
amount
of
funding
that
is
being
allotted
towards
dealing
with
the
houselessness
crisis.
Here
we
have
so
many
people
that
need
houses
and
there's
such
a
lack
of
affordable
housing
and
there's
so
many
empty
units.
W
Here
too,
as
people
have
spoken
about
before,
we
need
to
be
diverting
all
of
the
efforts
when
it
comes
to
housing
in
this
city
to
giving
people
that
don't
have
housing
houses,
it's
pretty
pretty
simple.
It's
not
a
complicated
problem.
You
just
need
to
let
people
live
in
the
empty
units
that
are
all
over
the
city.
I
know
when
I'm
looking
for
apartments
here
like
I
can't
afford
the
vast
majority
of
ones
that
are
empty.
W
It's
a
real
crisis
like
we
really
really
need
to
just
give
people
places
to
live
that
are
safe
and
then
build
affordable
houses
or
just
give
everybody
a
house
to
live
in,
because
housing
is
a
human
right.
I'd
also
like
just
to
say
that
you
need
to
allow
people
like
indira
the
opportunity
to
speak,
because
these
are
your
constituents
and
you
can't
keep
silencing.
AL
Hi,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can
hi.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
speak
I'd
like
to
echo
adam's
comments.
I
think
it
would
be
a
much
more
sustainable
solution
to
utilize
the
resources
that
the
city
already
has,
rather
than
putting
all
these
resources
into
new
developments
and
then
second,
I
would
like,
if
you
would
like
the
comments
to
be
jermaine
to
the
issues,
then
you
should
let
the
constituents
voice
their
very
valid
concerns
elsewhere,
people
are
not
raising
their
hands
and
talking
about
dana
wingert
and
all
these
other
issues
for
fun.
AL
G
AA
AA
I'm
a
little
bit
concerned
about
that,
because
a
lot
of
people
don't
have
the
demand
register,
but
also
the
city
website
accessible,
because
a
lot
of
people
don't
have
access
to
the
internet.
So
I'm
a
little
bit
concerned
about
the
accessibility
aspect
of
the
city
council,
which
brings
me
to
the
point
that
earlier
you
met
a
couple
of
folks
that
wanted
to
speak,
didn't
give
access
to
that
opportunity
that
you
did
that
the
same
access
to
others.
For
example.
AA
AA
You
thought
that
that
was
india.
It
wasn't
indira
so
that
your
bias
against
people
of
color
and
there's
no
way
you're
going
to
be
able
to
figure
out
who's
talking
just
from
their
voice.
You
have
to
really
learn
to
know
who
the
other
person
on
the
other
side
of
zoom
call
is
to
be
able
to
understand
them
carefully.
So
I
really
would
recommend
you
all
to.
AK
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
got
my
meat
button
as
far
as
the
money
allocated
to
the
houselessness
community.
I
don't
think
that
only
about
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
will
cover
that.
I
see
that
in
the
other
developments
you
have
allocated
about
four
million
dollars
in
money,
and
I
know
a
big
thing
is
that
money
is
an
issue.
But
to
me
this
just
seems
like
the
money
is
not
an
issue.
Z
AQ
Yeah,
it's
not
jamie,
it's
jaime,
don't
know
how
many
times
I
don't
know
that
yeah
30
of
someone's
income
is
too
much
money
for
rent.
I
pay
30
of
my
income
towards
grant
and
that's
not
a
world
that
we
should
live
in
and
that's
a
world
that
you
have
decided
that
we
have
to
live
in
as
a
city
council,
you
need
to
be
doing
more
to
address
the
housing,
the
real
housing
crisis
and
that's
the
fact
that
the
majority
of
people's
income
is
going
towards
housing
right.
AQ
It's
not
just
the
fact
that
there's
homelessness,
but
that's
also
part
of
the
reason
why
it
is
the
way
that
it
is
right.
You
need
to
be
addressing
landlords
right-
and
I
know
they're
your
friends
and
they
give
you
tons
of
money
to
be
on
city
council,
joe
gotto.
I
know
there
was
tons
of
landlords
supporting
you
in
your
election
right.
That's
the
real
issue.
Okay,
you
need
to
stop
focusing
on
things
like
blight.
AQ
No
I'm!
It
is
germane.
It's
talking
about
the
housing
program
right!
It's
like
your
funding
is
like
completely
misappropriated.
It's
like
not
only
that
it's
the
the
executive
actions
that
you're
refusing
to
take
that
are
within
the
housing
agenda
yeah.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
to
start
with
and
then
second
of
all
right,
the
issue
was
not
blight
before
you
interrupted
me.
U
AR
G
G
H
X
X
AD
S
Yep,
that's
me
sarah
number
60,
with
the
housing
who
is
going
to
be,
who
are
the
types
of
people
that
are
going
to
be
living
in
these
brand
new
built
apartments
and
homes?
I
don't
think
anyone
who
really
needs
it
is
going
to
be
able
to
afford
it
and
that's
really
the
main
crisis
here.
There's
a
lot
of
homeless
people
and
again,
like
people
previously
said,
they're
being
harassed
by
the
police
and
their
camps
are
being
taken
down.
So
what
is
this
actually
for?
Who
is
this
actually
benefiting?
S
F
V
V
That's
what
I
want
to
bring
attention
to
is
this
four-year
time
frame?
I'm
also
looking
at
the
anticipated
outcomes
in
the
goals
for
this
project.
I
see
goal
number
one
is
affordable
housing.
I'm
really
happy
to
see
that
as
goal
number
one
as
we
move
into
that
goal,
it
outlines
25
rental
units,
constructed
10
rental
units
rehabilitated
and
55
home
owner
housing
added.
I'm
I'm
also
seeing
that
there's
these
three
grants
agreement
companies
right
that
are
going
to
get
it
cdbg,
home,
home
and
esg.
V
So
I'm
just
kind
of
confused
regarding
the
rental
units
that
are
being
constructed.
Who
is
the
landlord
on
those
units
how
many
units
are
actually
within
those
entire
rental
units?
So
I'm
I'm
not
sure
how
much
housing
we're
actually
looking
at
here
and
who's
profiting
off
of
it
as
well.
I'm
also
looking
at
it's
only
going
to
create
10
jobs,
which
I'm
unsure
how
that
is.
Maybe
it's
the
10
jobs
from
those
three
companies,
I'm
not
entirely
sure
only
goal.
Number
four
is
reduce
homelessness.
V
I'd
like
to
see
that
higher
up
on
the
goals
and
over
this
four
year
time
frame
they're
only
preventing
150
homelessness
prevention,
so
that's
150
people
over
four
years,
y'all.
That
is
bad.
So
I
just
really
suggest
we
up
these
numbers.
We
up
the
number
of
houseless
people
that
are
being
assisted
through
this
program.
We
really
critically
look
at
the
landlords
who
may
be
benefiting
from
this
and
I'm
just
confused
how
it's
only
10
jobs.
Maybe
that's
something,
I'm
misunderstanding,
but
there's
a
lot
of
issues
with
this.
G
AF
Yes,
I'm
raising
my
hand
again
to
speak
specifically
to
you
mayor
county,
because
you
didn't
answer
my
question.
I
want
to
know
when
it
is
an
okay
time
to
speak
on
the
council's
behavior,
because
obviously
it's
an
issue
you're
continuing
to
cut
people
off
for
supposedly
not
being
germaine
when
we
are
successfully
tying.

Hi,
I'm
pastor
emily
ewing,
my
pronouns.
Are
they
them
a
a
and
I'd
like
to
speak
in
agreement
with
chelsea
and
indira
and
others
who
have
spoken
about
the
urgency
of
the
housing
crisis
in
des
moines,
though
they
were
frequently
silenced
by
you.
All
homelessness
prevention
needs
more,
especially
during
a
pandemic,
particularly
which
is
particularly
poignant
since
the
head
of
hud
ben
carson
just
got
diagnosed
with
coven
19,
and
this
state
has
is
second
worst
in
the
entire
country,
which
is
terrible
globally.
AG

We
need
to
allocate
more
money
and
more
resources
to
preventing
people
from
being
kicked
out
of
their
homes
legally
or
illegally,
as
has
been
done
recently
and
towards
giving
people
homes,
it's
actually
a
better
financial
move
to
just
give
homeless
people
home
than
to
require
them
to
do
all
of
this
other
stuff,
or
to
do
programs
to
try
and
do
other
stuff.
It
saves
hospitals,
money,
it
saves
medicaid
money,
it
saves
the
state
money
and
it
saves
people's
lives
to
provide
them
with
homes.
AG
C
G
AT
A
G
All
right,
as
we
move
on
to
item
61,
I'd
like
to
remind
everybody
that
is
on
that
this
is
these
meetings.
City,
council
meetings
are
about
doing
the
city's
business
and
trying
to
do
our
business,
whether
it's
with
hud
or
whether
it's
with
a
local
business
or
whether
it's
with
individual
homeowners
or
others
within
our
city
and
we're
not
looking
to
argue.
G
We
want
your
input
and
that's
why
we've
put
time
out
and
made
it
available
and
we'd
like
it
to
be
germane
to
the
item
at
hand,
and
we
don't
want
arguments.
The
arguments
are
disruptive
and
that
that
is
beyond
non-germane
and
those
that
are
disruptive
and
argumentative
will
not
speak
again.
Let's
go
ahead.
Item
61
is
on
the
proposed
first
amendment
to
the
urban
renewal
development
plan
for
the
38th
and
grand
urban
renewal
area
council
communication
number
20-488,
council.
E
G
AJ
AN
Hi,
my
name
is
bridget
peterson,
my
pronouns.
Are
she
her
and
I
live
in
the
beaverdale
area,
and
I
noticed
earlier
on
my
video
feed
that
mayor
county
and
the
city
attorney
keep
whispering
to
each
other
and
as
a
viewer
of
that,
it's
making
me
really
uncomfortable,
and
I
was
wondering
why
the
city
attorney
can't
speak
publicly,
since
this
is
a
public.
AN
G
O
This
feels,
like
kind
of
the
opposite
force
that
we
just
worked
on
with
the
with
the
hud
item.
Urban
renewal
is
usually
a
term
that's
used
to
soften
gentrification
that
we
know
dispersally
affects
black
and
brown
people,
I
mean
indigenous
people.
So
it's
just.
It's
really
interesting,
seeing
one
item
on
the
agenda
going
towards
hud
and
then
there's
like
five
of
this
renewal
stuff.
So
I
just
think
we
need
to
do
less
urban
renewal.
So
I
would
vote
against
this
item.
I
would
recommend
you
vote
against
this,
especially
like.
O
It
doesn't
have
to
be
abusive.
Conflict
can
be
something
very
constructive.
People
speaking
also
cannot
argue
with
themselves.
These
things
are
triggering
arguments
because
you
interrupt
them
with
arguments,
and
then
you
blame
them
for
arguing
back,
especially
women,
especially
women
of
color
and
especially
black
women.
It's
really
disgusting
and
I
don't
know
how
people
can
feel
safe.
Talking
to
you
as
you're
talking
about
trying
to
have
people
be
civil
people
can't
feel
comfortable
enough
to
be
civil
when
you're
attacking
people,
especially,
as
I
said,
black
women,
it's
just
disgusting.
F
F
AC
Okay,
I'm
kta,
I
use
they
them
pronouns,
okay,
so
I
was
kind
of
looking
this
over.
I
agree
with
everything
the
gentleman
prior
said:
I'm
a
little
confused
about
this
renewal
project,
where
the
money's
coming
from
where
it's
going.
I
was
wondering
if
anybody
could
share
more
information
about
this,
please
just
to
update
everyone.
F
G
Could
you
kind
of
quickly
give
an
update?
Apparently
this
has
been
on
on
a
number
number
of
different
instances
on
this
piece
of
property
that
has
been
off
the
tax
rolls
for
ever
and
the
unfortunate
situation
with
the
church
and
how
we're
trying
to
move
it
forward
and
and
back
on
the
tax
rolls.
Could
you
kind
of
give
them
a
quick
update
on
it.
AU
W
W
This
is
yet
another
attempt
to
take
away,
affordable
housing
instead
of
just
giving
people
the
houses
that
already
exist
or
actually
doing
something
to
benefit
the
community,
and
I
am
concerned
that
this
plan
is
going
to
enact
further
violence
and
against
bipac
people
in
des
moines.
This
is
not
a
safe
place
for
black
people.
People
of
color
indigenous
people,
just
like
the
city
council
meeting,
is
not
a
safe
place
for
those
people
so
yeah.
G
AN
Sorry,
my
laptop
was
about
to
die,
but
I
just
plugged
it
in
my
name
is
bridget.
I
live
in
the
beaverdale
area,
my
pronouns
are
she
her,
and
I
was
wondering
if
I
have
a
procedural
question
about
how
the
city
council
meetings
are
run,
and
I
would
like
that
question
answered
within
the
time
span
of
the
city
council
meeting.
AN
G
AK
The
city
council
had
already
approved
a
financial
assistance
in
the
form
of
a
project
generated
tax,
increment
financing
with
this
property
in
july,
and
it
increased
from
4.8
million
to
6.8
million,
so
that
was
two
million
dollars
of
the
sitting
money.
That's
already
going
into
helping
develop
this
place
when
a
private
developer
is
the
one
who's
doing
it.
So
my
question
is:
why
is
the
city
helping
to
fund
this?
My
second
question
is
well
actually.
AK
My
second
comment
is
that
it
looks
like
some
people
backed
out
of
buying
these
condominiums
already
because
of
covid,
so
considering
that
the
economy
is
not
doing
so
well,
why
would
you
build
a
40
unit
condominium
where
the
minimum
pricing
is
about
355
000
per
unit,
when
we've
already
had
people
back
out
of
it?
That
seems
like
a
waste
of
resources
that
the
city
is
allocating
to
a
privately
funded
development,
and
that,
let's
see
here.
AK
E
Yeah,
I'm
I'm
happy
to
to
move
this
item
to
to
give
a
little
context
for
for
some
folks.
You
know
this
as
aaron
pointed
out
as
a
church
that
has
been
off
of
the
tax
rolls.
This
is
a
tax
increment
finance
project.
All
of
the
city
incentive
comes
out
of
taxes
that
are
generated
from
the
project.
If
the
project
is
not
successful,
they're
in
is
not
generating
the
tax
increment
that
is
being
given.
E
The
city
is
not
giving
the
the
tax
incentive
to
the
developer
all
right
and
over
the
long
run,
this
will
significantly
increase
our
tax
base
to
do
a
number
of
the
things,
hopefully
over
the
long
run
that
folks
on
on
this
call,
have
asked
us
to
consider
doing.
We
have
to
grow
our
tax
base.
This
project
will
help
do
that
and
I'm
I'm
glad
we're
moving
forward
with
it
and
I'm
happy
to
move
it.
A

AH

O
O
That's
like,
I
can't
even
think
of
like
a
metaphor
where
that
makes
sense,
but
it's
like
you're,
like
lighting
a
house
on
fire
and
then
throwing
water
on
it,
and
you
got
the
water
out
of
a
deal
for
lighting
the
house
on
fire.
Now
you're
like
look
at
what
I'm
doing
to
fix
the
problem,
which
is,
I
don't
know,
it's
just
really
silly
sorry,
I
think
I'm
just
being
interrupted.
I'm
not
sure
why,
but
yeah
now,
I'm
distracted.
I
lost
my
train
of
thought
with
that
yeah
I
don't
know.

Mayor
county
thanks
for
thanks
for
having
me
on
here,
sir.
I
appreciate
that
here,
just
on
item
number
63
here:
I've
I've
kind
of
been
disturbed
by
some
some
previous
items
on
this
agenda
here,
where
I
found
that
you're
filibustering,
which
I
find
to
be
completely
irresponsible
when
the
public
has
a
limited
amount
of
time
to
speak,
and
I
would
advise
the
presiding
attorney
to
comment
that
on
that
immediately.

Hello,
beautiful
hi,
giovanni
bahanehishi,
they
interchangeably
a
lifelong
resident
of
the
south
side.
I
was
just
wondering
what
sort
of
the
plan
was
like
what
to
to
quote
my
representative
to
bring
life
to
the
south
of
jamal
area,
because
I'd
be
lying.
If
I
said,
I
wasn't
saddened
by
what
what
it's
turned
into
from
what
I
remember
from
my
childhood,
but
I'd
also
be
lying.
AO
If
I
said
I
wanted
it
to
be
businesses,
because
I
think
it's
a
perfect
location
for
a
lot,
it
has
a
perfect
location
and
possibility
for
really
affordable
housing
and
or
a
space
in
which
our
houseless
people
can
exist,
especially
in
a
winter
that
to
me
feels
like
it's,
not
gonna,
be
the
best
one.
So
I
was
wondering
mr
gatto,
if
you
could
answer
my
question
and
let
me
know
what
are
the
plans
of
bringing
life
back
to
southridge
mall.
Thank
you.
G
AV
Yes,
thank
you
so
yeah,
I
didn't
go
to
school,
to
be
a
city
council
member,
either
or
to
understand
government
terminology,
and
that's
not
really
taught
any
of
our
public
schools,
because
they're
underfunded
at
the
end
of
the
day.
All
of
this
is
the
public
subsidizing
private
developers
to
make
profit,
and
we
have
folks
facing
there's
an
eviction
crisis
right
now.
There's
an
unemployment
crisis.
People
are
struggling
and
still
it's
like.
AV
What
are
you
all
doing
to
prioritize
that
these
developers,
you
could
be
demanding
that
they
require
a
portion
of
these
units
to
be
affordable,
housing
to
be
free,
public
housing
in
the
last,
the
last
project
that
we
did
talk
about
those
condos
are
going
for
over
a
million
dollars
on
the
market
in
a
highly
attractive
area
of
the
city.
So
why
aren't
you
trying
to
make
them
accountable
and
do
something
for
us,
rather
than
subsidizing
their
profits?
AV
F
G
W
W
I
think
that
is
one
of
the
biggest
problems,
especially
during
a
pandemic
and
heading
into
the
winter
months
and
yeah,
and
I
would
like
to
also
echo
everybody
else's
sentiments
and
say
that
I
would
love
to
hear
from
some
of
the
people
that
the
council
has
considered
disqualified
to
speak
on
this
call,
because
you
are
silencing
the
voices
of
people
that
you
are
supposed
to
be
representing.
So
please
cut
that
right
now,.
G
B
AU
Yes,
I
can
thank
you
all
mayor
council,
aaron
olson
douglas
with
the
city's
development
services
department
at
southridge.
In
addition
to
some
of
the
recent
work
that
you
all
looked
at
this
summer
for
rehabilitating
the
former
sears
building
into
a
fitness
facility,
we
have
also
over
time
been
able
to
attract
development
to
the
site.
AU
Twg
just
recently
finished
up
an
apartment
project,
it's
five
buildings,
a
residential
community
just
south
of
the
mall
proper
of
those
288
apartments.
Approximately
260
of
them
are
available
for
residents
at
the
60
average
medium
median
income
level,
and
a
few
years
ago
I
think
in
2016
development
to
the
west
of
the
mall
on
former
mall
property,
had
a
senior
housing
apartments
developed
also
at
affordable
rental
levels,
as
dictated
by
federal
guidelines
and
standards.
AU
So
all
told
there.
Over
the
past
five
years
there
have
been
about
300
apartments
come
available
in
the
market
in
this
area,
transit
served
and
available
to
the
to
residents
wishing
to
live
in
the
south
side
area,
close
to
amenities,
close
to
dmacc,
close
to
training
opportunities,
interest
close
to
employment
opportunities
that
are
available
at
affordable
rental
levels.

Thanks
to
item
64
on
the
proposed
17th
amendment
to
the
central
place,
industrial
park,
redevelopment
urban
renewal
plan
council
communication
number
20-491
bill,
I'm
sure
that
you
have
a
couple
comments
here.
We
you
and
I
have
worked
on
this
area
for
many
years
and
seen
it
through
floods,
seen
it
through
levee,
rebuilds
and
other
things
any
rate
bill.
Do
you
have
any
comment.
M
Yeah,
you
know
this
is
the
35th
year
of
of
this
urban
renewal
plan
and
if
you
could
see
what
the
place
looked
like
we're
back
in
the
60s
we've
come
a
long
way.
We've
been
able
to
get
some
quality
businesses
to
move
in
that
bring
in
good
paying
jobs
like
to
see
more
of
them
happen.
But
this
is
a
an
evolving
area
down
there
and
we
want
to
see
that
continue
to
grow
and
provide
tax
base
to
our
city
and
I'll
be
happy
to
move
it
when
appropriate.
O
On
oh,
my
name
is
adam
callanan.
I
use
even
pronouns
looking
at
this
item
as
we
looked
at
as
we
studied
up
as
suggested
on
this.
It
was
a
bit
weird
to
me
because
it
shows
that
there's
no
physical
impact
and
there's
like
no
funding
source,
which
I
can
get
if
there's
like
nothing
like
literally
planned
but
as
jacob
lifted
previously
by
jacob
groby.
O
It
just
feels
like
especially
now
during
a
pandemic
and
we'll
be
struggling
if
we're
making
deals
with
private
companies
like
this
one,
that's
an
industrial
company,
expanding
its
sony
area,
two
percent
company,
that's
bringing
in
83
million
dollars
per
year.
It
feels
like
we
could
even
just
say,
like
you
know,
give
us
like
a
million
dollars
like
affordable
housing
or
something
it
feels
like
that'd,
be
a
very
reasonable
change
to
me,
or
even
like
you
know,
thousands
anything
just
like
the
fact
that
there's
no
physical
impact
stated
with
this.
O
It
feels
like
the
city's
really
not
trying,
and
that
really
worries
me,
because
you
know
you
have
people
like
begging
you
for
help,
and
meanwhile
you're
just
giving
away
stuff
like
this.
To
like,
I
said,
like
two
person
companies
that
are
making
millions
of
dollars
yeah,
I
also
just
want
to
speak
more
of
urban
renewal.
O
I
am
a
white
man
pretty
clearly
critically,
as
I've
been
like
allowed
to
keep
talking
as
like
women
of
color
are
being
silenced,
but
I'm
also
like
a
gaming
fan
and
I've
watched
urban
renewal
just
love
to
like
tear
through
areas
around
like
gay
bars
and
stuff.
So,
just
whenever
I
see
this
verbal
stuff,
I
feel
very
passionate
about
like
we
need
to
slow
this
down
as
much
as
we
can,
if
not
completely
stop
it.
O
So
I
think
we
voted
on
like
three
of
these
this
week,
which
is
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
this
agenda
like
I,
I
don't
know
how
much
this
agenda,
but
a
whole
huge
portion
of
this
agenda,
of
what
we're
doing
this
week
is
urban
renewal
compared
to
like
the
issues
of
the
city.
I
don't
think
like
a
quarter
of
the
issues
here
are
renewal
in
des
moines,
so
yeah,
please
just
vote
no
on
this.
You
voted
no
on
a
yes
on
enough
of
these
things.
O
AT
AE
Hi
thanks
for
giving
me
the
time
to
speak
here.
I've
got
quite
a
few
things
to
say
so,
I'm
going
to
get
through
it
just
as
quickly
as
I
possibly
can.
First
of
all
delgado,
you
agreed
to
increase
the
police
budget.
Therefore,
I
worry
that
you
will
not
be
able
to
fix
your
teeth,
and
I
know
that
black
people
are
13
times
more
likely
to
be
charged
and
convicted
for
a
marijuana
possession
charge
and
as
an
advocate
for
black
people
in
my
community
community.

T

Hello,
I
can
hear
the
city
attorney,
I
think,
talking
in
the
background,
but
appreciate
y'all
for
letting
me
speak
on
this
injustice
and
des
moines.
Where
do
I
get
started
a
minute
and
15
seconds?
That
is
not
enough
time
to
go
through
this
entire
list
of
injustices
that
we
are
experiencing
right
now
in
the
city
of
des
moines.
One
minute
and
15
seconds
is
not
enough
time.
T
We
demand
that
you
extend
this
speaking
time
to
at
least
one
hour
of
public
speaking
time,
and
you
give
everyone
at
least
five
minutes
to
give
their
comments.
We
also
demand
that
you
act
on
these
on
these
recommendations
that
have
just
been
given
to
you
from
the
marijuana
task
force.
It
is
very
important
that
you
act
on
these
fast
and
that
you
make
sure
that
marijuana
is
the
lowest
level
priority
enforcement
in
this
city,
regardless
of
what
dmpd
has
to
say
about
it,
you
all
are
their
bosses.
T
If
winger
doesn't
want
to
comply
with
your
ordinances,
you
need
to
have
him
fired.
You
need
to
make
sure
scott
sanders
fires
him.
Scott
sanders
doesn't
want
to
comply
with
that.
You
need
to
fire
scott
sanders.
Get
a
new
city
manager,
get
a
new
chief
of
police
that
will
comply
with
the
ordinances
that
are
presented
by
the
council
that
are
voted
on
and
supported
by
the
will
of
the
people.
This
is
city
government.
You
all
cannot
let
the
des
moines
police
department
rule
what
you
are
trying
to
do
here
in
this
city.
T
That
is
not
how
it
works.
We
the
people,
are
the
ones
who
should
have
the
power.
In
this
day
we
elect
you
all
you
represent
us
and
you
oversee
the
des
moines
police
department
and
their
budget.
Do
not
let
yourselves
be
bullied
by
the
des
moines
police
department.
Do
not
let
their
mob
boss
ways
intimidate
you
into
complying
with
what
they
want.
You
to
do.
Remember
who
elected
you
in
the
first
place.
Remember
how
city
government
and
the
democracy
is
supposed
to
work.
AR
G
AI
Thank
you
hi.
My
name
is
lennon.
I
live
in
downtown
des
moines
and
my
pronouns.
Are
she
her?
I
talked
earlier
and
was
told
I'm
indira,
I'm
not
indira
just
to
make
that
clear
and
jira
and
I
both
deserve
adequate
time
to
talk,
as
does
everyone
else
in
this
meeting
anyways
I
am
demanding
that
city
council
increases
the
time
given
for
constituents
to
speak.
AI
Today
I
was
told
I
have
one
minute
and
15
seconds
which
county
said
was
extended,
but
that's
the
time
I
was
told
originally.
So
I'm
a
little
confused
about
that,
but
anyways,
that's
still
truthfully
not
enough
time
to
voice
my
thoughts.
I
understand
that
you
all
don't
want
to
spend
your
entire
monday
evening
listening
to
us,
but
frankly,
this
is
what
you
were
elected
to
do
all
of
us
come
on
here
every
other
week
and
we've
watched
as
you
have
pushed
parts
of
the
agenda.
AI
You
know
people
are
interested
in
such
as
was
done
with
the
anti-racial
profiling
bill
to
the
very
end,
but
we
still
come
on
here
and
listen
to
this
entire
meeting,
because
we
truly
care
about
our
community
and
our
peers
around
us
also
just
in
general,
you
need
to
stop
silencing
black
women
and
women
of
color.
It's
really
disturbing.
I
also
just
want
to
demand
that
you
make
it
more
clear
when
constituents
are
able
to
raise
their
hands
to
speak
again.
AI
AT
AT
What
you
guys
are
having
that
task
force
assembled
to
study,
he's
saying
that
he's
totally
against
that.
So
keep
that
in
mind,
if
you
guys,
are
trying
to
implement
the
recommendations
that
the
task
force
has
has
recommended
this
morning.
I
I
can't
understand
how
chip
lingard
can
just
go
around
and
say
that
he's
not
going
to
to
listen
to
you
guys
when
you
guys
are
the
ones
that
hired
him.
W
I
would
also
like
to
make
the
point
I
was
trying
to
make
at
the
last
meeting
before
I
was
removed
and
say
that
I
am
extremely
concerned
that
I've
never
seen
a
dmpd
officer
wearing
a
mask.
We
know
that
they
like
to
not
follow
the
rules
like
we
saw
with
chief
dana
wingert
today
saying
that
he's
going
to
refuse
to
take
the
council's
advisory
on
the
new
marijuana
policy.
AW
Force's
recommendations
if
they
are
approved
by
council,
is
incredibly
concerning
to
me,
because
we've
already
seen
that
he's
someone
who
is
incredibly
willing
to
commit
acts
of
fascistic
violence,
often
against
teenagers,
I'm
one
of
the
many
people
who
can't
get
the
images
out
of
my
head
of
des
moines
police
department
led
by
police,
winger,
tear-gassing
children
this
summer,
and
so
I'm
incredibly
worried
about
the
acts
of
retaliation
that
the
des
moines
police
department
might
take.
If
this
action,
reducing
marijuana
is
the
lowest
level.
AW
Priority
is
taken
by
council,
because
if
we
remember
when
council
passed
a
racial
profiling
ordinance
that
night,
the
des
moines
police
department
kettled
protesters
an
incredibly
violent
tactic,
surrounded
them
and
beat
many
of
them.
So
I
think
that
we
should
be
incredibly
concerned
by
the
rise
of
authoritarian
violence
coming
from
our
police
department,
and
I
think
we
need
to
take
action.
G
AD
Yes,
ava
she
her
pronouns.
I
just
wanted
to
start
by
highlighting
some
of
the
other
like
task
force.
Meetings
in
des
moines
and
also
other
city
councils
in
iowa
are
able
to
have
really
effective
zoo
meetings
where
they
listen
to
people
and
have
conversations
with
people
and
engage
with
the
with
people
in
their
community.
AD
It's
like,
if
we
have
the
privilege
from
working
home
like
we
all,
are
on
zoo
meetings
all
day
long
and
are
able
to
run
effective,
zoo
meetings
where
we
interact
with
people
so
yeah,
it's
just
not
that
hard,
and
we
are
asking
for
a
lot
to
for
you
guys
to
restore
the
rules
and
extend
this
speaking
time
to
an
hour
and
extend
individual
speaking
time
to
five
minutes
and
the
way
that
you
guys
just
ignore.
That
shows
that
you
really
just
have
no
interest
in
engaging
with
the
community
that
you
represent
at
all.
AD
We
have
like
really
important
things
that
we
want
to
talk
about,
and
it's
really
scary
that
covid
is
not
ever
on
this
agenda.
Like
my
sister
had
covered,
my
grandma
has
covered
right
now.
That's
something
that
I
worry
about
all
day
and
then
I
come
to
the
city
council
meetings
and
you
guys
aren't
even
talking
about
the
fact
that
any
points
at
capacity
and
you're
also
not
talking
about
the
fact
that
the
police
department
and
the
chief
are
saying
that
they're
not
going
to
be
following
the
local
local
policies.

in

y'all
are
tasked

representing

caring
for

know
the
importance
of
listening
to

responding
to
the
concerns
of
the
most
vulnerable
and
oppressed.
This
is
your
task,
as
well,
especially

the
difficulty
represent
presented
by

is
more
important

create

to
be
heard.

More
time
is
needed
for
community
input

concerns
right
now.
City
council
meetings
are
the
main
way
to
make
that
happen,
which
means
more
space
needs
to
be
made.
This
meeting
itself
has
resulted
in
the
silencing
of
many
people
in
des
moines,
particularly
women
of
color,
especially
black
women.
This
is
wrong.
Please
prioritize
the
voices
of
the
people
of
des
moines,
instead
of
restricting
them
to
75
seconds
each.
AG
In
my
faith,
we
have
a
choice
between
a
theology
of
scarcity,
which
believes
there's
never
enough
time,
resources,
people
and
a
theology
of
abundance
which
trusts
that
god
provides
for
the
whole
collective
abundantly.
You
also
have
the
choice
between
fear
and
scarcity
or
abundance.
You
don't
have
to
choose
the
shortest
time.
You
can
choose
abundant
voices.
G
U
Hi
yeah,
I'm
sorry,
can
you
hear
me
so
you
know
I
had
this
like
this.
This
one
minute
speech
planned,
but
really
what
I
want
to
say
is
that
I
want
to
voice
my
frustrations,
like
specifically
with
you
mayor
county,
I'm
so
tired
of
listening
to
men.
Tell
me
what
I
have
to
say
is
not
germane
to
what
you
want
to
hear.
U
If
you
don't
want
to
hear
what
I
have
to
say,
get
a
different
job,
I'm
so
angry
and
I'm
so
frustrated
and
I'm
so
hurt
by
not
being
heard
in
my
own
city
like
when
it
comes
down
to
it.
You
work
for
me
my
taxes
pay
your
salary,
you
work
for
me.
We
elected
you,
you
work
for
me
and
you
work
for
every
person
in
this
meeting.
So
if
you
don't
want
to
hear
what
we
have
to
say
find
something
else
to
do,
I'm
tired,
I'm
really
sick
of
it.
U
I'm
sick
of
listening
to
you
guys
defend
a
violent
police
state.
I
have
to
go
to
physical
therapy
from
exercising
my
first
amendment
rights,
all
the
way
back
in
may
and,
and
you
guys
are
doing
nothing
about
it
and
I
don't
feel
safe
in
this
city
and
I'm
a
white
woman.
I
can't
imagine
I
can't
imagine
how
the
the
black
women
and
and
the
brown
women
and
the
the
black
men
and
women
and
everybody
the
people
of
color,
feel
in
the
city
and
I'm
so
angry
and
I'm
shaking
right
now,
because
I'm
sick
and.
U
G
AV
All
right,
thank
you.
It's
jacob
by
the
way
and
yeah.
So
last
meeting,
several
constituents
requested
to
comment
on
a
specific
items:
the
the
resolution
to
be
100
carbon,
free
even
emailed,
by
k
that
we
would
have
a
chance
to
speak
and
that
opportunity
was
not
given
to
us.
There
was
75
seconds
at
the
end
of
the
agenda
to
make
a
comment:
that's
a
joke!
That's
why
we're
all
here
and
more
pissed
off
than
we
were
before.
AV
AV
Disappointing
council
has
done
nothing
to
hold
chief
weingarten
accountable
and
he's
a
proud
trump
supporter
who
is
refusing
to
leave
office,
spreading
misinformation
and
encouraging
violence
and
discord
in
our
society
and
white
supremacists,
branding
literal
trump
and
thin
blue
line
flags
driving
around
or
constantly
harassing,
every
public
demonstration
in
support
of
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color,
every
single
demonstration
and
where,
where
are
you
all
at
to
protect
us
nowhere
to
be
seen?
And
you
can't
even
hold
your
white
supremacist
chief
of
police,
accountable?
AV
Z
Notification
to
unmute
myself
can
I
can
you
hear
me
yep
great,
so
my
name
is
lily
nellins,
she
her
pronouns.
This
is
absolutely
ridiculous.
Every
meeting
new
roles
are
put
in
place
to
limit
the
public's
ability
to
make
our
voices
heard,
and
then
the
rules
that
do
exist
aren't
enforced
with
any
consistency.
Z
Instead,
you
weaponize
your
authority
to
silence
anyone
who
disagrees
with
you,
mostly
black
and
brown
women.
This
is
what
fascism
looks
like
on
a
local
level.
I'm
guessing
many
of
you
voted
against
trump
last
week
because
you
like
to
think
of
yourselves
as
respectable
politicians
or
whatever,
but
you
all
are
no
better
than
trump.
Honestly,
probably
worse,
he's
at
least
listened
to
what
some
people
had
to
say
in
the
face
of
tremendous
violence
against
the
people
in
your
community.
All
you
have
done
is
act
to
ensure
you
don't
have
to
hear
about
that
violence.
Z
But
you
do
it's
your
job
to
hear
your
constituents
concerns
and
address
them.
You
have
a
rogue
militarized
police
force
dedicated
to
attacking
black
and
brown
people
that
announced
today.
They
don't
give
a
what
you
all
have
to
say
and
when
we
ask
for
your
response
to
this
frightening
threat
to
the
rule
of
law,
a
term
you
all
love
to
throw
around
you
wanted
to
talk
about
cases
and
golf
courses.
Are
you
just
going
to
let
kovet
kim
take
over
your
police
force?
Z
G
F
V
I
would
like
to
let
everyone
know,
particularly
the
council,
which
has
still
done
nothing
around
this
issue,
that
the
des
moines
police
department
on
may
31st
2020,
shot
rubber
bullets,
tear
gas
and
pepper
sprayed
black
children
at
the
merle
hay
intersection.
No
one
has
been
held
accountable
for
that,
particularly
not
chief
winger.
No
council
members
have
spoken
out
against
this
violence
against
children
in
our
own
communities,
so
still
waiting
for
you
all
to
do
that,
you
still
have
the
opportunity
to
do
so.
V
I'd
also
like
to
suggest
other
ways:
y'all
can
support
des
moines
residents,
maybe
take
a
tip
from
I
believe
their
name
was
gary
dickey
gary
did
a
great
job
conducting
the
cannabis
task
force.
Although
I
didn't
agree
with
all
of
the
outcomes
that
would
just
be
a
good
person
to
learn
some
some
tips
from
another
way.
Y'all
can
support
is,
I
would
suggest
scott
sanders
fire
chief
winger
mayor
county
fire,
scott
sanders
mayor
county.
Then
you
please
resign.
V
So
those
are
just
a
few
ways
that
I've
thought
of
another
one
that
just
while
I've
been
on
the
call
is
don't
interrupt
when
folks
are
speaking,
especially
when
we're
speaking
germanly.
Just
because
you
feel
like
you
want
to
say
something
also
keep
your
headphones
on.
That
would
be
great
to
make
sure
we're
being
listed.
R
Hello
hi,
first
of
all,
I'd
just
like
to
thank
county
so
much
for
saying
my
name
incorrectly
again,
it's
payton
shoemaker
I've
been
on
this
call
multiple
times.
I
also
like
to
thank
you
so
much
for
still
allowing
me
to
speak
even
after
I
was
non-jermaine,
apparently,
okay,
so
first,
what
I
would
like
to
do
with
you
guys
counsel
is
actually
do
kind
of
an
exercise.
R
If
you
can
all
just
close
your
eyes
and
take
a
deep
breath
and
then
just
imagine
the
face
of
what
you
think
an
oppressor
looks
like
just
imagine
what
an
oppressor
looks
like
to
you
and
then
open
your
eyes,
and
if
you
have
a
mirror
in
front
of
you,
that
would
actually
be
really
helpful
because
to
everyone
on
this
call
the
oppressor.
Is
you
that's
so
crazy
right?
Because
you
don't
let
us
speak,
you
don't
want
to
listen
to
anything.
We
say
you
are
literally
oppressing
us.
R
So
as
a
resident
of
des
moines,
the
city
council
is
actually
supposed
to
be
the
representative
government
of
us.
So
you
should
be
our
representatives
listening
to
your
constituents,
but
instead
you
don't
want
to
listen.
When
we
directly
speak
to
you,
the
city
council,
rule
changes
have
done
nothing
but
silence.
Those
of
us
who
you
are
tasked
with
representing
not
oppressing,
I
don't
know
if
you
guys,
knew
that
or
not,
but
like
that's
actually
what
you're
supposed
to
be
doing
so.
R
AT
AX
I
heard
a
sweet
old
grandmother
a
long
time
des
moines
residents
say
about
the
city
council
they're
not
worth
the
powder
it'd
take
to
blow
them
up,
and
that
includes
the
mayor,
the
treatment
I've
observed
this
mayor
and
council
give
to
residents
trying
to
voice
concerns
at
these
council
meetings
makes
me
question
that
assessment,
not
in
the
council's
favor,
limiting
the
speaking
time
for
each
citizen.
75
seconds
is
disrespectful
at
best.
AX
So
much
time
is
spent
by
council
members
giving
speeches
and
calling
on
cody's
then
voting
unanimously
on
every
single
measure
except
connie
today,
never
airing
any
discussion.
Much
less
dissension
renders
the
whole
exercise
poor
theater,
you
stage
these
as
meetings
but
you've
predetermined
the
acts
your
ensemble
is
introduced
and
given
soliloquies.
AX
Some
tension
is
added
by
lending
brief
voice
to
the
chorus
residence,
but
is
false
tension
as
you
don't
need
to
listen,
because
the
end
votes
and
results
have
been
decided
before
the
play
had
even
begun
that
so
many
young
people
have
begun
to
listen
and
participate
is
truly
amazing.
It
shows
how
deeply
they
feel
about
bringing
about
change
and
a
better
des
moines.
They
should
be
better,
encouraged
and
respected.
L
Hello,
can
you
hear
me
yep?
I
am
jocelyn
hildebrand,
I'm
17.
I
use
she
her
pronouns,
I'm
a
senior
at
east
high
school
in
des
moines.
Two
years
ago
I
was
physically
attacked
by
another
student
at
school
and
I
protected
myself
after
the
fight
I
was
in
the
office
and
the
principal
and
the
school
resource
officer
came
in
very
hostile
and
yelled
at
me,
saying
that
I
assaulted
the
hall
monitor,
who
split
up
the
fight.
L
I
ended
up
speaking
with
the
hall
monitor,
who
told
me
he
understood
the
altercation
and
he
was
completely
fine
without
my
mom
or
any
legal
counsel.
President,
the
principal
and
sro
told
me
that
I
was
being
charged
with
assault
on
a
staff
member
and
could
choose
to
go
to
what
they
said
was
jail
and
or
go
to
court
or
be
on
probation,
while
participating
in
a
program
called
the
second
chance
program
offered
by
dmpd
and
dnps
as
a
victim
of
the
assault.
I
was
coerced
into
this
program.
L
My
mom
still
believes
it
was
completely
unfair
for
me
to
be
punished
in
any
kind
of
way.
Second
chance
was
taught
by
dmpd
and
their
sros.
They
took
us
to
polk
county
jail,
warning
us
not
to
end
up
there.
They
told
us
what
incarcerated
people
where
how
they
shower
and
what
they
eat
to
try
to
scare
us
sros
are
not
helping
students.
They
are
creating
school
to
prison
pipelines
literally,
please
do
not
let
srs
into
schools
to
impact
anyone
else's
life
like
they
did
mine.
J
G
F
AB
Sorry
I'm
at
work
and
I
was
helping
a
customer,
my
name's
alyssa
she
her
pronouns,
I
pretty
much
just
wanted
to
say.
City
council
is
pretty
much
a
joke.
You
should
all
resign.
You
are
all
very,
very,
very
embarrassing,
very
embarrassing.
Just
absolute
jokes,
that's
pretty
much
it
you
guys
like
really
don't
take
absolutely
anything
seriously.
You
don't
listen
to
anybody.
We
have
so
many
community
members
coming
on
this
call
saying
some
absolutely
iconic
things
and
you
guys
just
just
ignore
it
vote.
Yes,
on
everything,
no
matter
what
the
public
says.
AO
AO
You
know,
echoing
what
a
lot
of
others
have
said,
100
your
job,
to
listen
to
your
constituents
so
restricting
our
time
and
who
can
and
can't
speak
and
then
also
not
taking
the
time
to
respect
either
people's
names
or
people's
pronouns
is
completely
disrespectful
and
doesn't
create
a
space
in
which
people
feel
that
they
can
speak
to
you.
But
I
don't
really
think
you
all
care
about
that.
So
I
think
I'm
going
to
end
with
this.
AO

AY
Hi
my
name's
denver
foot,
she
heard
pronouns
as
a
woman
of
color
and
as
someone
who
has
personally
experienced
police
brutality,
I
have
never
felt
welcomed
by
city
council
because
of
that
I've
never
spoken
during
a
city
council
meeting.
I
believe
that
individual
speaking
time
should
be
extended
back
to
five
minutes,
and
public
input
must
be
accepted
for
every
item
on
the
agenda.
If
we
were
in
person,
what
would
you
do?
AY
Would
you
physically
kick
us
out
of
the
room
forcefully
put
tape
over
our
mouths
to
mute
us
because
of
that
is
how
it
feels
when
our
own
city
council
find
power
in
muting
their
own
constituents
and
try
to
silence
our
voices,
our
voices
matter,
black
brown,
indigenous,
our
voices
matter.
We
need
housing
for
the
homeless,
police,
wearing
masks
and
police
out
of
our
neighborhoods.
We
need
funding
in
our
community.
Thank
you
for
my
time
and
I
yield
it.
