The
waiver
is
requested
by
Frank
Levy
who's,
the
president

six
votes.
F
A
Right

passes,
item

is
approving
the
consent
agenda
and
tonight
those
are
items

through

and
item

I
vote,
no
item,
6c,
council,
members,
gray
and
Mandelbaum
wish
to
speak
item.
20
councilmember
bo's'n
is
going
to
abstain
as
a
conflict
of
interest
in
item
28
councilmember
boss
also
is
going
to
abstain.
He
has
a
conflict
of
interest.
A
G
A
All
right,
let's
go
straight,
to
item
6c
item
C
is
these:
are
public
improvements
or
during
construction?
The
following
see
is
the
drake
and
bates
park,
water,
playgrounds,
receiving
bids
324
of
20
and
setting
the
date
of
hearing
for
for
six
of
20
and
the
engineer's
estimate
for
this
improvement
is
1234567.
K
More
spray
grounds
in
two
of
our
parks,
one
in
Drake
Park
and
the
other
baits,
which
importantly,
it's
also
adding
these
amenities,
so
that
they're
more
accessible
all
over
our
community
and
again
they're
just
fantastic
amenities.
It
would
not
be
possible,
given
our
budget
constraints
without
the
participation
and
the
generosity
of
of
the
Kelly
family
and
I,
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
and
I
know
it's
going
to
make
a
huge
difference
for
these
neighborhood
parks
so
wanted
to
just
call
that
out
and
think
that
the
Kelly's
and
encourage
moving
forward
on
this
I
fall.
I
So
it's
it's
with
great
pride
to
see
that
we're
really
getting
this
park
spruced
up,
make
it
a
place
in
a
neighborhood
gathering
place
that
it
always
should
have
been
and
keep
that
the
amenities
coming
so
that
people
I
would
like
to
hang
with
in
your
own
neighborhood.
It's
so
important
to
see
that
happen
in
Ben
hats
off
to
you
for
keeping
these
public-private
partnerships
going
getting
to
on
the
same
agenda
this
year
is
fantastic,
so
I'd
like
to
move
6c.
A
A
A
All
right
that
completes
the
consent
agenda.
That'll
take
us
to
ordinances.
Our
first
consideration
item
38
is
amending
by
repealing
paragraph
a
of
section
58
30
they're
up
and
enacting
a
new
paragraph,
a
to
section
58
30
regarding
required
qualifications
for
appointment
as
an
at-large
member
of
the
Historic
Preservation
Commission
Council
communication
number
20
120.
He
has
a
final
consideration.
The
ordinance
above
the
waiver
is
requested
by
our
own
City
Council
member
Linda
Westergaard.
A
K
K
And
and
I
think
I
had
a
conversation
with
the
city
attorney
beforehand,
answering
some
of
where
it
came
from,
but
I
actually
think
some
of
this
actually
makes
some
of
this
more
restrictive.
I
know
my
at-large
appointee
currently
would
not
meet.
At
least
in
my
reading
of
the
language
would
not
meet
the
terms
of
this,
so
I
I,
just
and
I
only
saw
it
on
Thursday,
but
I
got
a
little
bit
of
concern.
I'm
happy
moving
it
forward,
but
I
am
not
comfortable
moving
this
or
waiving
the
second
and
third
reading.
L
I'm
I'm
fine
with
not
waving
it,
but
it
goes
back
if
it's
okay
for
your
pointy
to
not
meet
the
meet
the
requirement.
Why
would
it
not
be
okay
for
my
appointee
to
do
it?
So
you
know
you
and
I
have
had
discussions
before
about
boards
and
commissions,
but
I'm
gonna
put
somebody
who
lives
in
my
ward
on
the
Commission,
but.
K
My
appointee
was
not
someone
that
I
appointed,
that
was
a
legacy
appointment
and
the
new
the
new
language,
where
you
now
have
a
requirement
not
just
for
education,
but
training
and
experience.
This
appointee
I
think
met
the
qualification
based
on
experience,
but
not
education
and
training,
and
so
what
we
are
doing
with
this
language
change
is
now
making
them
one
of
the
non
qualified
appointees.
But.
K
Iii
understand
that
I'm
just
saying
that
there
are
implications
from
this
language
change
that
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
and
I
would
say,
I
commend
you
for
actually
working
to
change
this
rather
than
I.
Think
at
times
in
past
practice,
council
members
have
encouraged
their
applicants
to
be
maybe
less
than
truthful
and
whether
or
not
they
met
qualification.
L
K
Saying
that
that
has
been
a
practice
and
it
wasn't
transparent,
I
didn't
say
it
was
you
I
commended
you
for
actually
going
through
what
I
think
is
the
proper
process
when
we
are
not
meeting
the
code,
if
we
don't
think
the
code
is
appropriate,
we
should
change
the
code
rather
than
encourage
people
applying
to
our
boards
and
commissions
to
be
untruthful
or
to
stretch
the
truth
so
that
they
are
eligible
for
appointment
and
I.
Think
at
least
before
I
was
on
the
council.
I
observe
some
instances
where
I
think
that
happened
and
that's
impacted.
L
H
H
L
Amendment
to
it,
because
I
think
it's
important
that
I
have
representation
on
the
Historic
Preservation
Commission
and
if
we,
if
we
delay
it
until
April
29th,
then
I
have
to
go
through
three
more
readings.
That's
that
much
longer
that
that
committee
is
without
without
a
representative,
so
I'm
not
willing
to
do
that.
H
G
It
has
been
I
would
suggest
that
we
do
that.
We
are
not
waive
it.
Let's
go
through
the
hearing
process,
so
you
can
get
your
questions
answered.
The
person
you're
appointing
is
you
know
great
person
is
not
the
person
it's
the
product,
what
how
it's
impacting
all
of
it.
So
we
have
a
better
understanding,
because
again,
we
thought
I
kind
of
thought.
We
were
going
to
wait
and
do
boards
and
commissions
on
the
29th.
G
L
I
guess
my
issue
is:
is
you
know
Josh
during
re-election,
you
went
out
there
and
made
a
big
deal
because
we
had
not
had
had
board
speed.
Gender
balance
and
I've
never
been
against
gender
balance.
But
for
this
position
require
me
to
appoint
a
woman
and
she
would
have
to
be.
You
know
like
a
landscape
architect
and
we
just
keep
narrowing
down
those
qualifications.
So
I
could
appoint
a
man
to
that
to
that
position
today.
L
That
would
not
be
a
problem,
but
I
know
that
you
wouldn't
approve
that
either
because,
because
you're,
the
one
who's
come
after
me
for
not
being
gender
balance,
so
I
went
to
the
city
and
said
okay
I
want
to
appoint
this
woman
I
think
she
would
be
good
and
and
I
brought
it
up,
because
I've
looked
at
qualifications.
There
are
many
boards
and
commissions
that
have
qualifications,
and
a
lot
of
you
have
people
on
there
that
don't
meet
the
qualifications.
So
I
don't
understand
why
it's
okay
for
you,
but
it's
not!
Okay!
L
K
M
N
C
A
A
Okay,
so
we
passed
thirty-eight
first
reading
and
hopefully
we'll
get
some
of
the
other
questions.
Clarified.
Yep,
moved
item,
39
item
39
chapter
114
in
the
misspell
code
regarding
traffic
regulation
changes
as

council.
L
L
L
O
A
A
A
A
A
All
right
moves
that
in
40
is
emitting
section
62
point
one
in
62,
166
related
to
prohibited
municipal
practices.
A
is
the
final
consideration
in
the
Orden.
Some
of
the
waivers
requested
by
the
city
manager
requires
six
votes.
B
is
directing
the
city
manager
to
develop
your
request
for
proposals
to
determine
best
practices
for
research
and
data
collection
methods
concerning
law
and
code
enforcement,
and
to
authorize
implementation
of
such
research
and
data
collection.
C
is
directing
the
city
manager
to
include
implicit
bias,
training,
de-escalation,
training
and
cultural
competency,
training
in
the
employee,
training
and
education.
A
We're
going
to
ask
if
there's
anybody
that
would
like
to
speak
I
would
we
have
been
working
with
our
civil
and
human
rights
commission
I
want
to
thank
them
all
for
the
work
that
they
put
forward
over
the
last
couple
of
years
on
this
not
only
moving
discussion
around
this
possibility
on
40
relating
to
these
municipal
practices,
but
also
working
with
the
citizenry
and
having
multiple
meetings
and
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
doing
the
same
thing
and
also
working
on
the
the
bridging
the
gap
work.
If
is
Cameron
here,
Cameron
Middlebrooks.
P
Q
Evening,
everybody
or
good
afternoon
I
just
wanted
to
start
by
saying
my
grandmother
used
to
tell
me
something
all
the
time
she
used
to
tell
me.
You
don't
judge
man
by
where
he
is,
but
you
judge
man
by
how
far
he's
come.
It's
my
opinion
that
we
have
come
light-years
away
from
where
we
were
when
the
first
rendition
of
this
ordinance
came
into
play.
I
want
to
send
a
special
thank
you
to
the
organizations
that
were
involved
with
bringing
this
to
the
forefront,
then
double
ACP.
Q
The
simple
human
rights
committee
or
Commission
had
was
asked
to
review
several
renditions
of
this
ordinance
over
the
course
of
the
last
nine
months.
During
our
open
meetings,
we
discussed
with
communities
feedback
and,
as
well
as
relayed
our
discussions
with
city
stats
of
the
community
to
the
best
of
our
ability
we
negotiated
what
we
thought
were
the
key
principle
items
received
from
the
community,
including
those
mentioned
before
the
anti
racial
profiling
ordinance
and
the
resolutions.
Q
This
sends
a
request
for
a
proposal
for
an
outside
expert
to
review
our
current
policies
and
procedures
in
regards
to
data
collection
and
offer
recommendations
to
ensure
we
collect
data
and
the
best
way
possible,
as
well
as
the
creation
of
the
PPR
C
to
review
set
data.
All
in
all,
as
chair
of
the
Civil
Rights
Commission
I
do
feel.
We've
made
a
significant
progress
from
where
we
started.
However,
I
do
believe
tonight.
We
will
hear
from
some
organizations
that
would
like
to
offer
a
few
tweaks
to
the
proposed
package.
Q
Our
Commission
is
fully
behind
community
members
and
organizations
advocating
for
themselves
and
not
having
to
rely
upon
us
with
that
being
said
after
discussions
with
some
of
the
groups,
I
do
believe
that
these
tweets
are
worth
taking
a
deeper
look
into
and
would
encourage
the
council
to
not
waive
the
three
readings
of
this
ordinance.
I.
Ask
that
you
take
a
thoughtful
look
at
the
suggested
amendments
and
we
continue
to
have
further
dialogue
to
make
the
ordinance
and
the
supporting
resolutions
the
best
that
it
can
be
for
now
again.
Q
This
is
a
positive
step
in
the
right
direction,
but
the
conversation
from
making
Des
Moines
the
equitable
City
that
we
all
desired
it
to
be
does
not
end
tonight
and
will
not
end
after
this
package
is
eventually
passed
in
order
to
make
this
city
truly
equitable.
The
conversation
must
persist
when
talking
about
profiling,
housing,
education,
employment
and
a
plethora
of
other
issues
that
continue
to
exist.
Q
I
encourage
everybody
in
this
room
to
come,
join
our
City
Council
and
the
Des
Moines
Silver
Human,
Rights
Commission,
and
our
next
joint
meeting
on
Thursday
when
we
talked
about
some
of
these
added
issues.
But
it
is
our
recommendation
from
the
Commission
that
we
do
not
waive
the
three
readings
that
we
continue
to
get
dialog
from
the
community
members
on
some
of
these
tweaks.
Q
R
So
let
me
start
by
thanking
the
civil
and
human
rights
commission,
a
particular
cameron,
Emily
and
Claudia,
because
they
helped
us
with
the
the
actual
drafting
of
some
of
the
language
and
refining
that,
and
it
clearly
made
that
a
better
language
as
well
had
an
opportunity
to
meet
with
several
of
the
advocacy
groups
throughout
the
community
and
again
through
those
conversations.
We're
able
to
make
improvements
as
well
I
hope
to
continue
those
conversations.
As
long
as
we
continue
to
make
progress.
R
So
I
also
want
to
thank
the
chief,
because
I
know
he
and
I
share
a
commitment
to
continuous
improvement
and
that's
what
this
is
continuing
to
improve
our
Police
Department,
who
have
taken
a
leadership
role
in
designing
training
for
which
other
agencies
now
utilize,
and
thank
us
for
the
work
that
our
Police
Department
has
done
in
putting
that
train
together
with
partners
at
Drake
and
other
institutions.
So
thank
you,
chief
for
assisting
on
that
as
well.
R
A
Right
well,
asset
speakers
to
step
up,
and
we
would
ask
all
in
LS
the
the
council.
What
do
we
think
we'll
go
again
with
three
minutes
each
if
they
want?
We
would
request
that
that
we
not
be
repetitive
that
we
get
new
information.
We
want
to
take
a
lot
of
notes
and
make
sure
we
are.
But
if
somebody
has
a
point
and
there's
points
of
agreement
and
a
lot
of
you
feel
that
way
why
you
know
we
could
show
hands
that
yeah
hey.
A
J
J
J
Despite
the
fact
that
the
community
CCI
ACLU
and
n-double
a-c-p
have
been
working
together
with
the
city
on
ordinance,
language,
Mr
Sanders
chose
to
send
a
letter
just
to
one
member
of
our
community
cutting
the
rest
of
us
out
of
the
communication
about
his
plans
to
put
the
resolutions
on
the
agenda.
Today,
we
only
found
out
about
this
move
on
Friday.
J
We
were
in
the
middle
of
dialogue
with
Mr
Sanders
when
he
wrote
this
letter.
Sending
this
letter
was
a
divisive
and
strategic
move
to
limit
our
access
to
the
information
and
to
divide
the
community.
We
need
to
trust
that
the
City
Council
will
continue
working
with
us.
The
decision
to
send
this
letter
out
to
the
community
members
is
damaging
of
that
trust.
In
addition,
this
letter
minimizes
the
experience
of
black
and
brown
community
members.
J
In
his
letter,
Mr
Sanders
says
that
City
Council
positions
have
not
changed
and
that
the
city
will
not
and
I
put
in
quotes
randomly
foreclose.
This
valuable
and
legitimate.
As
my
time
up,
I
got
a
few.
More
I
got
a
few
more
meaningful
protection
stops
for
two
years.
We
have
met
with
the
city
staff
and
I'm
gonna
talk
fast,
okay
and
the
City
Council
to
share
stories
our
data.
In
our
experiences.
J
We
have
presented
anecdotal,
it's
only
a
few
more
statistical
evidence,
our
experiences
matter,
black
lives
matter,
and
this
policy
affects
the
Tyrael
circumstances
of
our
lives.
We
are
not
asking
for
a
random
change
and
we
are
telling
you
there
is
a
poop
on
our
bat
and
we're
asking
you
to
remove
it
still.
Mr
Sanders
cautions
us
on
the
tone
we
use
in
our
work
for
an
ordinance
with
teeth,
threatening
that
we
are
hurting
our
cause
by
pushing
for
solutions
we
need.
J
J
Mr
Sanders
letter
repeatedly
discounts
the
experiences
and
recommendations
of
people
most
affected
by
the
racially
biased
policing
and
threatens
that
we
are
asking
for
too
much.
This
is
a
huge
impediment
to
the
trust
of
the
community
and
no
meaningful
solutions
will
be
crafted
without
the
leadership
of
those
people
of
color
affected
by
the
racial
profiling.
I
look
forward
to
continuing.
J
A
P
Good
evening
my
name
is
Laurie:
young
I
live
at
2707
High
Street
des
Moines,
Iowa
5:03,
one
two
and
I
am
a
proud
member
of
the
racial
justice
team
of
Iowa
CCI.
Let
me
say
this
is
my
fifth
appearance
before
the
City
Council
since
March
2018
Iowa
CCI
has
worked
tirelessly
to
gather
the
stories
and
listen
to
the
voices
of
our
citizens,
who
have
been
racially
profiled.
P
We've
been
on
this
journey
for
five
years,
but
we
believe,
like
Martin,
Luther
King
jr.,
that
a
threat
to
justice
anywhere
is
a
threat
to
justice
everywhere
and
here
in
Des
Moines.
The
city
I
was
born
in
raised
in
raised
my
family
in
debated
and
defended
critics
over
volunteered
and
served
in
hasn't
showed
justice
all
the
time
to
people
who
look
like
me,
but
tonight
we
move
forward.
We
are
encouraged
by
the
motion
to
pass
an
ordinance,
a
law
that
explicitly
bans
racial
profiling
by
the
Des
Moines
police
department
and
all
city
employees.
P
We
are
hopeful
that
progress
continues
to
be
made
to
make
the
ordinance
strong
and
effective
at
reducing,
if
not
eliminating,
racially
biased
policing.
But
while
we
are
encouraged
and
hopeful,
we
are
cautiously
optimistic
as
city
manager,
Scott
Sanders,
said
in
his
March
3rd
letter.
We
are
willing
to
move
forward
in
good
faith.
The
Bible
defines
faith
as
the
substance
of
things
hoped
for
the
evidence
of
things
not
seen.
P
P
Let's
move
forward
in
good
faith
with
intentionality
priority
and
expediency
in
good
faith.
The
community
will
also
need
to
see
Transparency
as
we
work
to
strengthen
this
ordinance.
Information
data
and
reporting
should
be
shared,
so
the
trust
and
confidence
can
be
restored
where
it's
currently
on
life
support.
P
Iowa
CCI
n-double-a-cp
ACLU,
in
working
with
the
city
in
2020,
must
see
progress,
expediency
and
transparency
where
groups
are
treated
as
equal
partners
in
the
discussion
and
communication
is
shared
equally,
the
community
expects
it
demands
it
and
deserves
it
all.
In
with
this
James
Baldwin
said
not
everything
that
his
face
can
be
changed,
but
nothing
can
be
changed
until
it
is
faced.
Des,
Moines,
City,
Council
city
officials.
You
are
finally
facing
the
reality.
P
My
people
have
been
living
with
for
decades
here
in
Des,
Moines,
you've
seen
the
data
you've
heard
the
stories
and
you've
settled
way
too
many
lawsuits.
Let's
move
forward
together
in
good
faith
and
create
the
Des
Moines,
where
all
citizens
are
treated
justly
and
fairly,
a
city
where
we
all
can
share
a
high
quality
of
life
and
feel
safe.
Let's
strengthen
the
ordinance
in
good
faith
that
you
say
you
are
committed
to
tonight
and
let's
do
it
expeditiously
and
with
transparency.
S
Hello,
mayor
councilmembers
city
manager,
I'm,
the
old
appearing
Des
Moines,
Iowa
I,
am
a
member
of
the
CC
I
racial
justice
team.
Do
not
be
fooled
by
this
I'm
gonna
make
it
short
and
sweet
all
right.
I
did
Oh
what
my
past
are
racial
justice
team
members
just
said
so:
I'm
not
just
gonna,
go
out
all
that
you
already
heard
it.
You
got
it.
Let
it
saturate
deep
in
your
pores.
What
I
wanted
to
say
before
I
depart
from
here,
I
want
to
make
an
observation.
S
S
T
Good
evening,
I'm
Daniel
Z
no
policy
and
advocacy
director
at
the
ACLU
of
I
were
located
at
505
5th
Avenue
Suite
8:08
in
Des
Moines
ACLU
of
Iowa
once
again
joins
the
call
from
community
members
and
our
organizational
partners
for
the
City
Council
to
pass
a
meaningful
ordinance
to
address
the
critical
and
specific
issue
of
racial
profiling
and
other
important
issues.
Racial
profiling
and
pretextual
stops
alienate
the
very
communities
the
police
are
supposed
to
be
protecting
and
serving.
They
violate
the
rights
and
freedoms
of
Des
Moines
residents
and
do
not
make
our
community
safer.
T
You
councilmembers
can
change
that
and
we
are
calling
on
you
to
do
that.
We
know
that
racial
profiling
does.
It
only
refer
to
intentional
and
deliberate
racial
profiling,
but
more
often
than
not
is
about
implicit
racial
bias
devised
that
leads
officers
to
be
more
likely
to
perceive
a
black
driver,
as
involved
in
drug
or
gang
activity
than
a
white
driver.
That's
one
of
the
issues.
The
community
is
asking
the
council
to
address
specifically
about
the
the
ordinance
and
the
two
resolutions,
the
ordinance
on
racial
profiling,
of
the
six
issues
that
the
community
asks.
T
The
council
to
address
this
has
seen
the
most
progress.
We
are
happy
to
see
this.
We
do
believe
there
can
be
some
some
strengthening
of
the
definition.
It
is
not
clear
what
appreciably
motivating
means
it
ought.
We
would
also
suggest
adding
actual
and
perceived
race
so
that
it
is
more
than
just
the
actual
race
of
the
person
but
the
perception
of
their
race.
In
terms
of
the
data
collection
resolution,
we
agree
Mr
Sanders,
that
we
shouldn't
delay.
T
In
fact,
we
think
the
city
police
could
start
collecting
data
tomorrow
on
stops
that
do
not
result
in
an
arrest
or
a
citation
what
they
don't.
They
don't
collect
data
right
now,
and
so
we
would
urge
that
there
be
quicker
action
on
that
and
then
on
the
training,
again
good
steps
forward.
We
would
suggest
strengthening
the
language
to
require
city
employees
to
take
the
training,
the
reson
and
says
the
city
manager
shall
make
sure
the
training
is
available,
but
there's
no
requirement
that
employees
actually
take
the
training.
So
we
would
suggest
you
you
strengthen
that.
T
We
all
want
to
be
safe
in
our
communities.
We
want
to
be
safe
in
Des
Moines,
the
ordinance
in
the
resolution
today
before
you
are
steps
in
the
right
direction.
We
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
to
make
these
ordinances
the
ordinance
and
the
resolutions
meaningful
and
real,
so
that,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
constitutional
rights
are
indeed
for
every
single
one
of
us.
Thank
you.
U
U
We
do
support
the
proposed
RFP
to
solicit
proposals
from
vendors
to
determine
the
best
practices
nationwide
for
collecting
data
and
creating
metrics
that
that
have
a
valid
review
to
study
the
internal
trends
of
our
city
staff
to
make
sure
that
they
are
appropriately
delivering
services
to
for
our
our
cohorts.
We
also
support
the
RFC's
authorization
for
the
city
manager
to
employ
a
successor,
successful
proposal
to
implement
identify
best
practices,
research
and
data
collection.
As
far
as
the
racial
profiling
prohibition,
we
do
find
it
there.
There
is
some
flaws
in
it.
U
The
ordinances
proposal
does
not
bar
all
racial
profiling.
Only
when
racial
profiling
is
appreciably
motivated,
as
previously
mentioned
simply
put
race,
should
play
no
part
of
an
officer's
decisions
during
age
in
an
enforcement
action.
This
language
essentially
enables
any
officer,
even
when
there
isn't
strong
evidence
that
race
or
ethnicity,
motivated
to
stop
to
avoid
finding
liability
by
claiming
to
stop
was
based
on
alleged
traffic
code
violation.
No
matter
how
minor
or
superficial,
regardless
of
the
fact
that
the
data
collection
shows
the
officer
had
a
record
of
excessive
stops
to
persons
of
color.
U
The
city
manager's
proposed
that
the
committee
be
comprised
of
three
members
from
the
Human
Rights
Commission,
one
member
from
the
housing
Appeals
Board
and
one
staff,
member
from
the
Community
Development
Department
and
additionally,
one
police
officer,
but
we
propose
that
the
composition
of
the
committee
be
increased
by
at
least
three
community
member
groups
that
have
historically
been
associated
with
efforts
to
rid
or
eliminate
racial
discrimination
or
work
with
or
either
people
who
work
with
victims
of
racial
profiling
or
ethnic
profiling.
Our
proposal
was
rejected.
U
G
G
V
V
We
started
working
on
legislation
at
the
state
level
and
now
have
been
working
together
on
legislation
for
the
City
of
Des,
Moines
and
I
know
that
we
have
provided,
as
said
been
said
before
stories,
stacks
of
information,
memos,
video
and
all
kinds
of
information,
and
so
with
that
being
said,
we
know
that
there
were
two
proposals
that
that
didn't
come
anywhere
close
to
being
up
to
snuff
for
the
community.
So
we
are
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
weigh
in
on
this
third
proposal.
V
With
that
being
said,
our
bottom
line
today,
for
you
is
that
we
would
like
to
see
waivers
I
mean
we
would
not
like
to
see
the
waiver
in
terms
of
the
three
readings.
So
we
would
like
to
make
sure
that
we
do
have
the
three
readings
and
the
n-double-a-cp
in
your
email
box.
We
have
submitted
amendments
to
the
resolutions
both
for
T
B
and
for
T
C.
The
resolutions
are
very
similar.
V
These
resolutions
are
pretty
much
what
Daniel
from
the
ACLU
mentioned
earlier,
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
employees
are
required
to
undergo
the
implicit
bias,
training
and
the
escalation
training,
as
well
as
making
sure
that,
when
the
consultant
for
the
RFP
looks
at
that
that
he
also
looks
into
best
practices
around
pretextual
stops.
So
that's
hugely
important,
the
other
just
a
couple
of
other
things
that
we
want
to
point
out
that
the
three
readings
that
would
help
us
at
least
bring
to
your
attention,
I
know,
city
manager
or
Sanders.
V
We
have
met
and
talked
a
little
bit
about
that
we
did
expect
another
meeting.
So
that's
also,
why
we're
here
saying:
let's
not
move
so
hastily,
but
but
the
ordinance
at
this
point
does
not
speak
to
data
collection.
It
doesn't
bring
over
the
language
of
training
them
in
and
I
know
of
training
and
I
know
that
we
are
with
the
hiring
or
the
RFP
and
bringing
that
data
collection.
V
So
one
is
that
complaint
process
and
that's
vital
and
again
we
support
the
definition.
Having
a
change
in
the
definition
as
well
of
the
appreciably
motivating
factor
is
a
problem
to
me.
It
should
just
be
a
motivating
factor
because
any
any
kind
of
kind
of
racial
profiling
profiling
is,
it
should
be
prohibited.
So,
as
we
stand,
as
another
speaker
said
here
on
the
cusp
of
making
history
I
think
there's
an
opportunity.
We've
talked
about
this
being
a
step
and
for
many
in
the
community
it
may
not
be
quite
a
step.
V
It
is
a
start,
but
we
think
with
the
waiver
and
if
we
have
ongoing
conversations
and
I
do
want
to
thank
the
City
Council
members.
Several
of
them
have
met
with
us
and
our
colleagues
and
so
I
know
in
that
vein,
we're
moving
for
them,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
not
just
a
start,
but
it's
a
step
and
we
want
to
make
sure
it's
a
good
step
that
we
all
can
be
proud
of
and
that
we
all
can
call
a
win.
R
R
W
What
everyone
called
me
because
we
have
several
names,
were
called
and
as
long
as
you
guys
keep
dragging
your
feet,
there
are
still
folks
out
there
being
stopped
and
it's
not
being
recorded
or
and
if
nothing
is
found
or
anything,
and
it's
just
let
go
and
on
their
way
and
so
that
that's
not
recorded
it's
it's
not
even
you
don't
even
know
unless
somebody
doesn't
feel
they
were
treated
right
and
they
decide
they
want
to
make
a
complaint.
Then
you
might
find
out
about
it
and
that's
it
still.
W
W
Don't
think
you
do
if
you
haven't
been
stopped
because
the
skin
you're
in
that's
different
than
the
skin
I
mean
and
so
I
get
treated
differently
just
because
the
skin
I'm
in
which
isn't
fair
but
I,
guess
according
to
some
folks,
it's
okay,
but
I
thought
the
City
Council
is
supposed
to
protect
everybody,
regardless
of
my
skin
color
Who
I
am
we
are
all
supposed
to
be
protected
and
I.
Guess
it's
hard
they're
trying
to
figure
out
why
council
is
fighting
so
hard
against
us
just
to
help
protect
us.
W
We
shouldn't
have
to
we,
we
shouldn't
have
to
beg
for
this
and
that's
what
it
feels
like
feels
like
we're
begging
to
just
to
be
protected,
and
it
should
we
should
be
protected
anyway,
but
it
just
feels
like
we're.
Just
big
is
no
different
than
back
in
the
day
when
we
were
slaves
and
has
to
beg
Massa
for
some
scrap
just
eat.
W
It's
the
same
thing,
there's
no
difference,
it's
the
same
thing,
and
until
you
flip
the
script
where,
if
you
have
to
come
to
the
black
community,
even
when
you
could
running
when
you
run
for
office
now
you
did
come
to
the
black
community
needed
our
boat
and
it
for
some
ungodly
reason.
All
of
a
sudden,
all
you
guys
were
poor
racial
profiling.
You
was
against
it
now
it's
done
changed
because
all
of
you
said
that
you
was
going
to
fight
against
this
racial
profiling
to
stop
it.
W
W
You
should
be
against
bad
police
officers
just
like
we're
against
bad
police
officers,
no
problem
with
a
good
police
officer,
no
problem,
but
with
a
bad
one.
Yet
because
they're
out
there
to
continue
that
madness
out
there
and
they
continue
getting
away
with
it
because
they
can
and
it's
it
it's
not
fair
to
us
as
the
people,
appellant.
X
Are
you
doing?
My
name
is:
will
Johnson
281
East
walnut'
in
Des
Moines,
the
guy
that
just
spoke
motivated
me
to
speak
I,
might
be
a
little
younger
than
him.
I'll
be
40
here
in
August,
I,
didn't
plan
on
saying
anything,
but
hearing
him
speak
make
me
wanted
to
come
and
say
something:
I've
been
a
victim
of
racial
profiling.
X
I
spent
half
my
life
living
in
Chicago,
South,
Side
of
Chicago
21st
25
years
of
my
life,
so
I
know
what
that's
like
moved
out
here
with
my
family
went
through
that
out
here
for
the
last,
maybe
10
years,
I
have
two
teenage
kids
here
in
the
audience
now,
I
look
around
I,
see
that
I'm,
probably
the
only
one
that
brought
my
teenage
kids
to
this
event.
Just
to
let
them
know
what
happens.
X
What
goes
on
and
if
we're
not
here
to
speak
up
for
ourselves,
no
one
would
so
I'm
here
to
let
them
know
the
the
children.
This
is
the
process,
and,
if
we're
not
here
to
speak
up,
things
are
going
to
go
even
slower
than
what
they
are
going
and
I
lead
the
council
to
to
to
to
to
be
aware
of
the
situation
that
everyone
has
to
deal
with
it.
X
Even
though
we
are
in
our
black
skin,
we
have
to
deal
with
a
little
bit
more
and
like
I
said:
I
have
teenage
kids
and
they're
about
to
be
driving
and
I.
Don't
want
them
to
have
to
deal
with
what
I've
went
through
most
of
my
life
living
in
this
country,
not
just
this
state
or
city,
it's
the
whole
country,
and
it
has
to
start
in
the
cities
before
it
can
branch
out
to
the
state
before
it
can
branch
out
across
the
country.
That's
it.

I've
stood
strong
in
campaigns
I.
Thank
you
for
your
help.
As
a
as
a
City
of
Des,
Moines,
employee
and
I'm,
not
representing
the
place
as
the
City
of
Des
Moines
employee
I've
done
mandatory
training,
mandatory
training,
mandatory
training
down
the
line.
I
fail
to
understand
why
such
an
important
factor
as
racial
profiling
is
a
question
for
the
city
des
moines.
Council
I
know
that
you
all
support
all
of
your
citizens.
I
know
that
you
support
me
individually,
because
I've
spoken
to
most
of
you
and
yet
when
we
come
to
this
very
important
point.
Y
All
of
a
sudden.
We
seem
to
be
hedging
our
bets
I
support.
My
brothers
and
sisters
in
blue
absolutely
I
understand
their
safety
and
security
and
the
importance
of
that
but
I,
don't
think
that
we
should
allow
an
insidious
act
of
racial
profiling
to
go
continuously
unrecorded,
unreported
swept
under
the
table
when
it
has
such
a
huge
effect
upon
our
population.
Y
Y
What
is
my
recourse?
My
recourse
is
to
file
a
complaint.
I
know
how
that
goes.
I've
listened
to
complaints
and
I
know
that
sometimes
those
complaints
fall
on
deaf
ears
and
it
falls
on
the
ears
of
those
that
are
pro-police.
I
love,
my
brothers
and
sisters
and
blue.
That's
all
great,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
we
need
specific
evidence
of
racial
profiling
so
that
we
can
eliminate
this
continued
act
and
I,
don't
understand,
for
instance,
no
offence
estándares
when
we
talk
about
by
it.

AA
Because
you're
stoned
I
know
yet
I've
been
smoking.
Nothing
like
that's,
not
what
I'm
saying
but
I
need
you
all
to
really
really
try
to
put
yourself
in
the
position
that
so
many
of
these
families,
including
myself,
have
been
in
I've
watched
profiling
happen
for
three
generations
in
my
family,
starting
with
my
daddy
being
stopped
because
at
the
time
we
didn't
have
a
car
walking
home
from
work.
C
AA

Because
of
the
treatment
that
he's
received
from
our
brothers
and
sisters
in
blue
and
mind
you,
a
lot
of
these
instances
were
never
recorded,
there's
no
documentation
but
to
hear
my
son
cry
screaming
for
his
uncle
dad
who
helped
me,
because
officers
have
done
a
u-turn
and
actually
a
three-point
turn
in
the
middle
of
a
residential
street
and
terrorized.
It
way
back
when
people
migrated
from
the
south
not
necessarily
seeking
better
employment
but
running
from
the
Terrorism
of
racism.

Possible
ordinance
that
included
seven
or
six
options
of
things
that
really
need
it
to
not
have
been
ignored,
needed
to
have
been
very
seriously
considered
because
they
all
made
sense.
They
were
comprehensive.
They
addressed
every
issue
that
has
been
brought
forward
by
people
who
are
experiencing
this
in
their
daily
lives,
and
so
anything
that
has
come
back
that
hasn't
seriously
considered
every
aspect
and
actually
is
acting
on.

You

to
stop
the
repression.
You
have
the
power
to
stand
up
for
what

everything

Everything

good
when
you

us
when
people
who
look

me
and
people
who
look
like
you
miss
miss

When

we're

when

If

Hello,
my
name
is
Buffy
Jameson
I
am
a
co-chair
and
founder
of
the
Iowa
queer
communities
of
color
coalition
about
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
us
the
Iowa
queer
communities
of
color
coalition,
along
with
the
Des
Moines
branch
of
the
n-double
a-c-p,
and
one
Iowa
got
together
to
have
a
community
discussion
about
profiling.
Here
is
what
we
learned.
It's
rampid,
it's
happening
to
many
of
us.
It's
happening
to
people
because
of
a
variety
of
different
identities,
not
even
just
racial.
AG
We
heard
from
a
lot
of
trans
individuals
who
talked
about
being
profiled
and
what
that
means
for
them.
I
have
sat
and
listened
to.
My
friends
and
my
family
talk
about
their
experiences
with
profiling,
and
especially
especially
when
it's
coming
from
my
mama
or
my
little
brother,
like
that's
my
baby
bro
when
he
told
me
that
he
was
stopped
and
that
he
you
know
it
just
scared
the
hell
out
of
me.
It
really
did
that's
my
heart
right
there.
That's
my
baby
bro.
This
is
something
that
is
extremely
personal
to
many
of
us.
AG
Many
of
us,
not
just
the
black
community,
not
just
a
lot.
The
next
community,
or
Asian
Americans
or
Native
Americans,
but
all
of
us
if
they
come
for
all
for
one
of
us
eventually
they're
gonna,
come
for
all
of
you
and
I
know
that
that's
something
that's
been
said
over
and
over
again
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
and
people
don't
tend
to
believe
it.
AG
But
it's
true
something
that
I
heard
over
and
over
again
and
I
was
born
and
raised
here
by
the
way,
as
I
was
growing
up
is
oh
no,
oh,
why
are
our
young
people
leaving?
Why
aren't
they
staying,
why
you
know
Iowa's
getting
older
and
older
and
all
of
our
children
they're
just
leaving
as
soon
as
they
get
the
chance
they
just
take
off.
Why
I
have
seen
about
five
of
my
friends
take
off
from
here
queer
people
of
color
because
they
just
couldn't
take
it
anymore?
AG
AG
What
keeps
getting
regurgitated
at
us
over
and
over
again,
if
there
isn't
a
problem,
this
isn't
that's
right,
spread
if
you're
thinking
of
this,
this
is
all
in
your
head.
This
is
better
than
that.
All
right
cool
prove
it
pass.
This
ordinance
prove
it.
If
there
really
isn't
a
problem,
then
this
would
Ellis
trait
it
for
all
of
us
prove
it.
N
N
It
says
the
world
is
not
dangerous
because
of
those
who
do
harm,
but
because
of
those
who
look
at
it
without
doing
anything.
So
that's
why
we're
here
tonight,
because
I
can
speak
directly
about
the
harm
that
my
son
felt
from
his
racial
profiling.
How
I've
been
the
one
a
couple
of
the
council,
members
and
I?
Thank
you
for
asking
how
he's
doing
how
he's
progressing
since
that,
but
he
took
what
I
say
was
monumental
courage
to
fight
for
his
constitutional
rights.
N
So
as
you
take
the
time
counsel
because
I
thank
you
for
what
you've
done
to
move
it
this
far,
and
we
I
think
you
Scott
tonight,
especially
for
saying
you'd,
waive
that
opportunity
to
to
rush
it
through
that
we
get
the
right
wording
in
that
we're
all
comfortable
in
this
community.
I
do
not
want
any
person,
no
matter
their
rates,
to
be
sacrificed
for
a
statistic.
We
have
to
be
more
than
a
statistic.
N
We
have
to
be
part
of
the
community
and
in
order
to
over
our
to
move
forward,
we
have
to
come
together
and
that's
what
we're
doing.
We
have
a
whole
chamber
of
people
who
just
want
to
be
respected
when
they
walk
out
of
their
homes,
who
are
doing
the
normal
things
that
any
people
should
be
able
to
do
without
consequences.
The
Surgeon
General
has
almost
said
that
being
black
in
America
is
detrimental
to
your
health.
N
A
Want
to
thank
you
all
for
coming
down
this
evening.
I
think
that
you've,
given
us
some
more
valuable
input,
is
Mr
Sanders,
said
and
has
asked
that
we
not
proceed
with
40
a
which
is
the
final
consideration
which
he
had
originally
requested.
I
think
he
has
felt
that
there's
been
some
valuable
input
here
this
evening,
but
I
do
feel
that
we
have
to
to
move
a
lot
of
this
stuff
forward
and
know
that
this
is
a
dynamic
process.
A
We've
been
working
on
it
for
years,
I
look
at
Cameron
and
he
knows
how
hard
we've
been
working
on
not
only
this
but
bridging
the
gap
and
all
the
other.
We
think
effective
steps
that
we're
taking
for
all
members
of
our
community
and
I
want
to
urge
you
all
to
continue
that
work
and
I
mr.
manager,
I
want
to
ask
you
to
take
into
consideration.
A
We've
got
a
great
balance
on
on
that
particular
Commission
as
well.
I
mean
we've
got
good
gender
balance,
we've
got
good
racial
balance.
We've
got
a
couple
of
brown
individuals
into
blacks
and
three
whites
and
we
urge
them
to
keep
their
eyes
wide
open
as
well,
and
let's
continue
all
working
together
to
make
progress,
but
I
want
to
see
it
move
together
rather
than
I,
knowing
that
the
process
over
time
is
going
to
be
dynamic
and
we're
going
to
get
more
good
ideas.
A
G
K
Gosh
I'd
like
to
to
make
some
comments
first
off
I
want
to
thank
everyone.
That's
been
a
part
of
this
process,
the
folks
at
CCI
and
double-a-c-p
ACLU
I,
want
to
thank
the
civil
and
human
rights
commission
for
their
work.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
city
manager,
the
city
attorney
and
the
police
chief
for
their
work.
K
K
K
One
of
the
things
that
that
is
hard-
it
folks
have
pointed
it
out.
I
mean
I
I
sit
here
in
a
position
of
privilege,
I
get
to
make
decisions
and
I've
lived
a
life
of
privilege.
I,
don't
have
the
same
experience
that
everyone
in
our
community
has,
but
it's
my
responsibility
to
help
make
sure
that
our
community
works
for
everyone.
K
And
we
have
folks
in
our
community
who
know
that
it
is
not
working
for
them
in
the
same
way
that
it
is
working
for
others,
and
we
have
a
responsibility
to
listen,
to
learn
and
to
work
to
fix
it.
I,
and
this
process
has
been
a
part
of
that
I
and
I
I've,
seen
I've
seen
steps
in
in
progress
that
maybe
not
everyone
gets
to
see,
but
just
in
the
way
that
the
discussion
has
evolved
over
the
course
of
the
two
years.
Now.
K
This
isn't
the
first
time
that
something
has
been
back
in
front
of
us
and
we've
improved
over
time.
What
is
back
in
front
of
us,
we've
had
a
serious
conversation
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
am
appreciative
of
has
been
the
willingness
of
the
city
manager
and
the
chief
to
continue
engaging
and
continue
thinking
through
these
issues.
K
K
It's
an
important
step
forward.
It's
a
first
step
forward
and
there
are.
There
is
more
to
do
even
within
the
constraints
of
these
three
items
and
we're
going
to
keep
having
that
conversation.
But
this
is
an
important
step
forward.
We
are
putting
in
our
ordinance
a
prohibition
on
racial
profiling.
Yes,.
K
K
I'm
committed
above
and
beyond
what
we
do
here
and
what
we
do
over
the
next
two
readings
I
recognize
that
there
is
more
to
do
and
I've
talked
about
a
number
of
those
issues.
I'm
particularly
interested
in
in
addressing
how
we
deal
with
marijuana
and
I've
talked
about
that
for
some
time
making
that
the
lowest
enforcement
priority
I'm
gonna
continue
talking
about
that
and
working
to
build
consensus.
K
Above
and
beyond,
just
the
actions
that
we
take
here
today,
because
there's
more
work
to
be
done.
There
are
more
stories
to
be
heard
and
it's
our
responsibility
to
make
our
community
work
for
everyone
and
I
appreciate
everything
that
has
gotten
us
to
this
point.
But
it's
only
a
starting
point
matter.
G
Just
gonna
echo
what
josh
has
said
having
been
involved
from
the
plane
so
appreciate
that
we
know
that
there's
more
to
do,
but
I
just
want
everybody.
You
know
we
have
from
what
the
first
proposal
was
to
now.
We
have
made
some
giant
steps
and
we're
going
to
continue
the
dialogue
and
the
different
issues
that
have
come
up
and
listen
to
the
new
proposals
and
to
try
to
make
this
the
best
for
everybody
to
make
everybody
feel
comfortable
and
safe
in
the
city.
A
Again,
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
let's
all
stay
engaged
and
keep
working
and
I
appreciate.
Cameron
you
and
the
human
civil
rights
we'll
have
a
good
meeting
this
week.
We've
got
more
work
to
do
and
with
that
we
will
I
think
we
have
to
move
to
hearings
right.
Yes,
all
right,
we'll
get
ready
a
chance.

I

Is
that
he's
putting

We're
just
glad
to

him

K
A
AD
Mayor
councilmembers,
we
own
the
property
at
204,
third
Street
and
we've
owned
it
since
about
2:00,
2008
and
I
operate
the
business.
A
nice
Irish
pub
I'm,
not
sure
if
Luann's
here
Donovan,
but
she
is
a
vast
resource
of
knowledge
on
the
noise
permits
and
sound
permits.
I'm
here
to
discuss
the
sound
crimin
des
moines,
specifically
the
court
Avenue
entertainment
district.
My
patio
at
Amy's
is
nearly
5000
square
feet
without
sidebar
booths.
AD
In
a
small
stage,
the
inside
is
only
1,100
square
feet,
so
80%
of
my
business
is
dependent
on
that
patio
I'm
completely
dependent
on
Mother
Nature,
because
my
patio
is
not
covered.
Every
year,
I
meet
with
a
representative
from
the
city
to
purchase
my
sound
permits
for
Amy's
I
meet
with
them
in
February
and
then
I
get
all
my
sound
permits
for
March
all
the
way
through
Halloween
and
then
I
write
them
a
check
and
I'm
good
for
the
season.
The
sound
parent
rules
have
changed
and
they
only
changed
two
years
ago.
AD
The
new
rule
is
I,
pay,
the
city,
$200
and
I
get
eight
days.
That's
it
per
month.
These
eight
days
are
non-refundable
are
transferable,
so
in
the
month
of
May
this
year
there
are
10,
total
Fridays
and
Saturdays
I
have
to
randomly
guess,
which
Fridays
and
Saturdays
I
want
to
have
amplified
sound
outside
on
my
patio
every
month,
one
or
more
weekend
days
are
ruined
due
to
rain
or
severe
weather.
This
8
day
rule
does
not
work
for
many
reasons.
AD
First
of
all,
I
guarantee
you
a
majority
of
the
businesses
around
Des
Moines,
do
not
follow
this
rule
or
even
pay
attention
or
know
about
it.
The
old
room
that
we
had
two
years
ago
I
could
purchase
more
days
for
an
extra
hundred
dollars.
I
did
this
for
years,
and
the
city
made
a
lot
of
money,
because
this
is
how
it
worked
I
believe
they
changed
the
rule
because
they
were
bombarded
by
sound
permits
on
very
short
notice.
AD
For
every
night
of
the
week,
our
people
just
didn't
follow
the
rules
at
Inez
I'd
like
to
play
music
on
my
patio
every
Sunday
afternoon,
but
according
to
the
these
new
rules,
I
can't
I'd
like
to
have
karaoke
or
bingo
or
a
DJ
on
Wednesday
nights.
But,
according
to
these
rules,
I
can't
my
suggestion
to
the
city
is
to
let
establishments
by
more
than
eight
days.
AD
First
of
all,
I
would
like
the
two
hundred
dollars
per
month
to
get
you
a
total
of
ten
days
per
month
to
cover
your
extra
weekends
or
there's
a
Friday
or
Saturday.
Then
you
can
buy
Sunday's
afternoons
or
Thursdays
or
Wednesdays
to
a
certain
time
and
respect
the
noise
levels
each
day
after
the
first
ten
days
could
cost
a
business
owner
somewhere
between
fifteen
and
a
hundred
dollars.
Then
the
city
is
making
extra
money.
AD
Sound
permits
should
be
a
privilege,
and
if
you
don't
follow
the
rules
and
you
aren't
respectful
to
your
neighbors,
you
should
not
be
able
to
get
these
sound
permits.
But
it's
unfair
to
punish
the
good
business
owners,
because
a
few
bad
actors
in
recent
years
have
abused
the
rules
and
didn't
have
respect
for
the
city.
Those
people
should
be
punished
and
not
allowed
to
have
more
than
a
certain
amount.
AD
However,
the
good
business
owners
and
the
ones
that
you
know
contribute
to
the
community
should
have
an
opportunity
to
succeed
and
make
Court
Avenue
a
great
environment
for
people
to
enjoy
I'm.
Coming
to
you
now
in
March
to
solve
this
issue
before
we
get
into
May
and
into
the
summer
months,
so
I'm
hoping
that
the
city
I
mean
you
might
not
even
be
aware
that
this
is
a
rule
and
they
have
changed
it.
A
couple
of
years
ago.
K
Yeah
so
I'll
move
to
receive
and
file
this.
This
is
new
information
to
me.
I
would
also
like
to,
as
part
of
the
motion,
ask
for
a
background
memo
on
the
changes
that
are
referenced,
as
well
as
Community
development's
recommendation
with
regard
to
the
suggestions
that
that
miss
Baldwin
has
made
so
that
that
comes
back
to
us,
so
that
we
can
take
a
look
at
those
recommendations
and
consider
how
to
move
forward.
K
I
AL
AL
AD
AL
We
had
to
mail
cards
to
everybody
within
250
feet
of
like
Inez
and
so
you'd
mail
out,
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
cards
to
like
the
plaza
cuz,
that's
individually
owned
and
20%
of
the
people
could
respond,
saying
they
didn't
want
the
variance
to
add
more
dates.
But
you
could
hardly
ever
meet
that
threshold,
and
so
we
would
hear
from
people
that
live
down
there,
especially
in
the
plaza
that
we
shouldn't
be
handing
out
variances
that
that
allowed
more
sound.
AL
I
AL
You
cannot
reuse
that
that's
the
reason
we
did
that
years
ago,
when
we
came
up
with
the
limits
is
it
would
be
impossible
for
staff
to
manage
transferring
permits
from
one
day
to
the
other
and
be
able
to
tell
police
and
other
people
when
there
should
be
appropriate
tab
music
and
when
they
weren't
supposed
to
have
music
for
enforcement
purposes.
It
has
to
be
that
we
know
whether
that
band
is
supposed
to
be
out
there
or
not
for
enforcement
purposes,
and.
H
AL
AD
You
know
if
I
want
to
do
bingo
on
Wednesday
nights
and
say:
okay,
we're
gonna,
have
a
guy
walking
around
announcing
numbers
outside
I
have
to
have
a
noise
permit,
so
it
stifles
my
business
I
mean
and
like
she
said,
you
know
if
it
rains
one
weekend,
I'm
in
don't
know.
If
you've
been
down
a
third
and
Court
I
am
majority
patio
and
it
is
not
covered
and
it's
it's
a
great
farmers
market
place.
We
always
have
someone
out
there
playing
guitar
on
farmers
market.
Then
we
have
a
DJ
after
farmers
market.
AD
Then
we
have
a
DJ
that
night
and
then
Sunday
afternoons.
We
need
to
have
a
key
to
be
out
there.
Someone
clean
you
know
the
instrument
or
something
that's
amplified.
Sound
I
mean
you'd,
be
surprised
with
like
little
speakers,
even
if
I
had
them
inside
it
doesn't
give
you
the
same
feel
as
having
someone
out
there
playing
so
I'm.
AD
Just
asking
the
city
to
reconsider
and
I'm
not
saying
that
there
aren't
people
that
probably
don't
break
the
rules
or
play
the
music
too
loud
or
accidentally
go
over
a
half
an
hour
when
they
should
not
do
that.
But
then
they
need
to
be
punished
individually,
because
this
is
kind
of
just
a
big
blanket
rule
for
everybody
down
there.
F
F
K
Yeah
I
mean
I,
think
that
fits
within
the
emotion
that
I
made
and
to
get
a
record
from
Sue
and
to
figure
out
perfect
how
to
approach
this
and
what
what
should
recommend
so
yeah
I
mean
I.
Think
we
want.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
this,
like
many
other
things,
we're
trying
to
get
the
balance
right.
K
It's
between
providing
a
regulatory
framework
that
allows
the
businesses
that
are
doing
the
right
thing
to
continue
operating
and
then
I
certainly
know
that
I
hear
from
neighbors
they're
from
businesses
that
maybe
are
not
as
conscientious
about
following
the
rules,
because
I
know
Sue
Ann,
you
and
I
have
worked
on
several
of
those
just
in
my
short
time
on
the
council.
So
it's
about
getting
that
balance
right
and
what
the
recommendation
is
to
get
that
balance
right.
Going
forward.

Q
Kane
at
2700,
Grand
Avenue
des
Moines,
Iowa
I,
am
the
attorney
for
for
mr.
mr.
Carlson
mr.
Carlson
last
week
was
injured
and
was
in
the
hospital,
and
he
is
here
tonight
but
taking
medication,
and
he
asked
me
to
to
speak
on
his
behalf.
Mr.
Carlson
was
removed
as
a
trustee
by
the
mayor
on
a
January
6th
of
this
year
and
pursuant
to
municipal
code
law.
Mr.
AM
Carlson
is
entitled
to
a
hearing
in
front
of
this
board
as
to
a
name-clearing
hearing
or
you
process
your
so
based
on
that
I
would
have
the
following
statement
from
mr.
Carlson
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
and
the
council
for
this
opportunity
to
address
the
miscarriage
of
justice
in
mayor
counties.
Surprising
and
politically
motivated
dismissal
of
me,
On
January
6
2020
from
the
Des
Moines
waterworks
board
of
trustees
in
the
middle
of
my
term.
I
stand
before
you
as
a
whistleblower,
because
no
one
else
was
listening.
AM
The
mayor
used
a
district
court
ruling
in
Kelter
versus
Oskaloosa,
which
allows
a
mayor
to
move
a
trustee
for
any
reason
trying
to
justify
my
removal.
His
letter
to
me,
On
January
6,
stated
I
shared
with
you
that
discussions
with
your
colleagues
left
me
convinced
that
the
board
as
presently
constituted
is
dysfunctional,
and
your
colleagues
unanimously
have
indicated
to
me
that
trust
and
confidence
in
you
has
been
lost.
I
know,
in
fact,
that
there
is
not
a
unanimous
dissatisfaction
with
my
membership.
AM
How
interesting
it
is
to
blame
me
for
the
mayor's
lack
of
attention
and
to
use
me
as
a
foil
to
justify
his
great
displeasure
with
the
waterworks.
I
see
it
quite
differently
after
the
loss
of
Bill
stove.
Our
new
chair
and
vice
chair
began
having
closed
meetings
about
eight
in
a
few
months,
the
chair
and
the
vice
chair
then
presented
the
board
with
a
contract
in
June
of
2019
and
discussed
how
the
deal
could
be
closed.
AM
The
new
waterworks
was
to
be
up
and
running
in
January
2020,
a
draft
contract
has
been
circulating
in
the
suburbs
for
several
months
after
I
made
several
requests
to
the
waterworks
for
a
copy,
a
person
from
one
of
the
suburbs.
Provided
me
one,
the
contract
stated
the
following.
Only
two
members
of
the
seven-member
board
would
represent
the
City
of
Des
Moines,
complete
control
of
the
water
work
plants,
budget
and
wholesale
water
rates
were
to
be
immediately
controlled
by
the
suburbs.
Water
Works
asset
values
had
been
adjusted
so
that
almost
no
money
would
be
contributed.
AM
Upfront
a
future
by
out
of
all
the
Des
Moines
assets
were
included
with
the
amount
to
be
negotiated
in
10
or
20
years.
I
asked
mayor
Cownie
on
several
occasions
to
look
into
what
was
going
on
since
no
one
was
listening.
I
approached
then
councilman
Chris
Coleman
for
help
and
getting
the
mayor
and
the
council
more
involved.
AM
As
a
result
of
my
meeting
with
Mayor
our
with
Councilman,
then
he
sent
me
the
following
text
on
August
22nd,
2019,
hi
Gabe,

for

I
never
used
your

but
did

60
minutes

under
us.
We're
going
to
more
aggressively
engage
the
chair
and
Sue
should
have
already
had
a
convo
with
the
mayor.
AM
Unfortunately,
nothing
happened.
As
a
result.
I
became
a
whistleblower
and
mayor
mayor.
County
was
embarrassed
by
what
I
reveal
I've
done,
nothing
wrong
and
letting
the
City
Council
and
citizens
know
what
was
going
on
mayor.
Cownie
can
now
remove
a
board
trustee
for
no
reason
and
as
appointed
as
campaign
manager.
As
my
replacement,
the
mayor
is
now
in
total
control
and
responsible
for
the
waterworks
and
all
regionalization
action,
Water
Works
customer
relations
committee,
the
one
responsible
for
regionalization
has
owned,
has
only
had
closed
meetings
since
approximately
March
of
2019.
AM
The
leadership
has
stated
that
it
did
not
want
to
quote
discuss
marketing
and
pricing
strategies
and
proprietary
information
that
may
impact
its
competitive
position
by
public
disclosure,
not
required
of
potential
or
actual
competitors
related
to
ongoing
negotiations
over
creating
an
integrated
Regional
Water
Authority
I
worked
hard
for
the
citizens
of
Des
Moines.
During
my
chairmanship
from
2012
to
2013,
we
began
the
greater
Des
Moines
Botanical
Garden
Foundation,
the
Des
Moines
waterworks,
Park
Foundation,
and
we
hired
bill.
AM
Stowe
I've
worked
for
16
years
volunteering,
my
time
as
a
trustee
and
I
do
not
deserve
to
be
traded
treated
with
such
disrespect.
So
what
do
I
want
with
unlimited
removal
power
and
his
campaign
manager
on
the
board
mayor
Cownie
now
has
complete
control
of
the
waterworks.
Don't
give
away
the
waterworks
to
the
suburbs
one.
You
should
immediately
stop
all
secret
negotiations
on
regionalization
and
assemble
a
task
force
to
review
everything
that
water.
AM
AN
And
we
would
add
one
more
put
day
back
on
the
Des
Moines
Water
Works
board.
My
name
is
qsv
I'm
a
member
of
CCI
I
live
at
the
1005
63rd
Street
I'm.
Here
we're
here
to
stand
up
for
Dave.
It's
been
a
champion
of
clean
water,
a
champion
for
16
years,
other
folks
that
are
here
to
stand
up
and
support
Dave.
Please
stand
up.
AN
So,
thank
you
just
wanted
you
to
know
that,
even
though
not
every
and
everybody
is
welcome
to
talk
to
you,
even
though
everybody
might
not
talk,
they've
got
a
lot
of
support,
so
we're
here
to
stand
up
for
Dave
we're
here
to
stand
up
for
clean
water
because
he
was
recently
kicked
off.
The
Des
Moines
Water
Works
board
by
mayor
County,
because
Dave
was
being
open
and
honest
mayor
Cownie
boo
today,
because
Dave
stood
up
for
people
and
clean
water.
AN
AN
A
AK
A
A
AK
AK
Fortunately,
because
we
live
in
Des
Moines
and
the
Water
Works
has
a
nitrate
removal
system,
we
can
have
safe,
clean
drinking
water,
so
but
any
discussions
about
regionalization
or
what
impacts
our
right
to
clean
water
should
not
be
discussed
behind
closed
doors.
We're
not
a
deal
that
you
can
make
without
us
and
that's
why
we
need
people
like
Dave
more
than
ever,
who
will
stand
up
to
our
right
to
clean
water,
and
so
Dave
should
be
back
on
the
board
and
we
need
more
people
like
him.
Not
people
who
won't
make
deals
without
us.
AO
At
a
Mason,
1434,
44th,
Street
I
am
also
an
Iowa
CCI
member
I
am
also
here
to
support
Dave
Carlson
dave
was
a
champion
for
clean
water.
You
know
during
his
time
on
the
board
numerous
things
that
he
did
to
support:
Des
Moines
Water
Works,
to
support
the
City
of
Des
Moines,
but,
most
importantly,
to
protect
the
ratepayers
of
Des
Moines
Dave
voted
for
the
Des
Moines
waterworks
lawsuit
as
a
board
member,
and
he
fought
legislative
attempts
to
dismantle
Des,
Moines
waterworks,
which
was
more
than
discounted
and
at
that
time.
AO
Currently,
he
was
one
of
the
the
Des
Moines
waterworks
board
members
who
voted
to
support
CC
eyes,
lawsuit
against
the
state
of
Iowa,
protecting
clean
water
for
this
city
in
this
state,
and
that's
what
our
vision
for
for
what
this
council
should
be
doing
is
working
in
partnership
with
the
community
to
make
life
better
for
more
people.
It's
plain
and
simple
shouldn't
be
that
hard
to
figure
out
Dave
sounded
the
alarm
for
just
how
far
these
regionalization
talks
had
happened
behind
closed
doors,
and
for
that
he
was
punished.
He
was
fired
earlier
tonight.
AO
This
chamber
was
packed
talking
with
you
about
discussions
that
you've
had
with
community
members
over
the
last
two
years
to
move
forward
a
racial
profiling
ordinance
now,
admittedly,
that
that
ordinance
is
not
where
we
like
it,
but
you
agreed
to
keep
the
conversation
going
so
why
you
would
move
forward
with
a
double
standard
to
allow
those
regionalization
talks
to
continue
to
exclude
the
public
boggles
my
mind.
That
cannot
continue.
AO
D
I'd
like
to
speak
as
well
and
I
think
there's
more
folks
who
want
their
voices
heard
so
I'd
like
to
make
a
statement
as
well.
My
name
is
Ross
I'm,
a
resident
of
Des,
Moines
and
I'm,
a
proud
member
of
Iowa's
CCI
and
to
me
these
are
different
issues
that
have
striking
resemblances
to
each
other,
this
City
Council's
orientation
to
a
ban
on
racial
profiling
and
your
decision
mayor
County
to
kick
Dave
off
the
board.
D
Neither
of
these
issues
should
be
political,
making.
Sure
everyone
in
our
city
is
safe
and
making
sure
we
can
drink
clean
water.
Should
it
be
political,
but
it
seems
for
y'all.
Everything
is
political.
When
power
is
involved,
you'd
rather
get
rid
of
somebody
who
threatens
your
power.
Who
can
test
for
your
part
to
make
sure
we
can
have
clean
drinking
water
and
put
somebody
who
didn't
just
support
your
campaign
but
ran
your
campaign?
D
But
you
all
should
know-
and
folks
are
here
to
tell
you
that
we
take
care
of
our
own
and
Dave
is
one
of
our
own.
So
we're
gonna
make
public
statements
when
we
want
to
make
public
statements,
because
you
choose
to
fire
members
of
our
community
and
kick
them
off
a
board
when
you
want
to
and
that
ain't
right.
