E
F
I
E
D
E
Aye
any
opposition
hearing.
None
item
passes
item

Those

through
forty

These
are
generally
routine

and
will
be
enacted
by
one
roll
call
vote
without

Unless
someone

separately.
E
D
F
L
F
D
E
D
E
D
E
Okay,
the
general
public
knows
six
is
during
the
construction.
The
following
c
is
ingersoll
avenue,
42nd
street
to
poke
boulevard.
It's
a
reconstruction
receiving
bids
of
january
20th
of
2021
and
we're
going
to
set
a
date
of
hearing
following
that
february.
22Nd
of
21
and
the
engineer's
estimate
for
this
project
is
three
million
six
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
in
its
council
communication
number
20-546
go
ahead.
Josh.
M
Yeah,
so
this
is
an
infrastructure
improvement
along
ingersoll
and
there
were.
There
was
a
public
meeting
that
that
was
held
with
the
the
neighbors
to
talk
about
this
project.
One
of
the
things
that
was
raised
during
that
public
meeting
was
a
concern
about
the
speed
and,
and
there
was
support
from
the
neighbors
who
were
at
the
public
meeting
to
reduce
the
the
speed
limit
on
this
section
of
ingersoll
the
25
miles
per
hour.
M
N
N
I
just
would
like
to
show
for
the
record
that
there
are
other
midwest
cities
that
are
are
moving
to
20
miles
an
hour
in
residential
areas,
and
it's
all
about
safety
and
reducing
the
number
of
accidents
and
the
seriousness
of
accidents,
especially
with
the
vulnerable
users,
which
would
be
bicyclists
and
pedestrians.
So,
with
that
we'd
like
to
move
this
direction
by
the
city
manager's
office,
to
reduce
it
to
25
miles
an
hour.
D
D
O
O
It
currently
has
a
three
it's
a
three-lane
roadway
with
just
standard
five-foot
bike
lanes
and
parking
on
both
sides
so
and
then
also
it
only
has
four
foot
sidewalks
on
both
sides.
There
is
a
a
large
sidewalk
gap
in
the
corridor
and
there's
only
a
two
and
a
half
foot
wide,
a
two
and
a
half
foot
wide
parkway
between
the
sidewalk
and
the
back
of
the
curb.
O
So
what
we're
proposing
is
to
reduce
the
61
foot
wide
pavement
down
to
a
total
feet:
distance
of
50
feet.
However,
the
travel
lanes
it'll
be
it'll,
go
from
two,
a
three
three-lane
road
section
down
to
a
22-foot
wide
asphalt
pavement
with
two.
You
know
one
travel
lane
in
each
direction,
then
the
bike
lanes
will
be
modified
to
be
a
buffered
bike
lanes.
O
So
they'll
have
a
three
foot:
striped
buffer
and
then
a
six
foot
bike
lane
the
bike
lanes
will
be
concrete,
so
it's
a
different
pavement
material
than
the
roadway
and
then
the
parking
will
be
made
of
a
pervious
concrete
or
I'm
sorry,
pervious
paver
material.
So
so
one
big
improvement
we
feel
is:
is
the
corridor
will
be?
The
roadway
pavement
will
be
narrowed.
O
So
I
think
that
that's
a
big
improvement
in
the
city
of
the
tightness
of
the
corridor
in
terms
of
the
crash
history
in
the
past
five
years,
there
really
is
no
significant
crash
history
at
all.
In
fact,
there's
almost
virtually,
I
think,
there's
five
minor
crashes
in
five
years,
which
is
very,
very
very
low.
O
O
D
O
M
O
Around
the
curve
there-
okay,
thank
you,
so
it's
from
42nd
to
the
curve
around
the
curve.
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
yeah
the
80,
but
the
85th
percentile
was
32
miles
an
hour
and
the
average
the
average
speed
on
the
corridor
is,
has
traveled
in
this
section
of
28..
So
so
again,
nothing
that
jumps
out
as
a
I
guess
is
it.
M
N
B
M
Yes,
it
it
doesn't
need
to,
we
don't
need
to
have
it
25
miles
per
hour
at
the
data
hearing.
Just
by
as
this
project
moves
through,
you
know,
this
will
go
to
bid,
and
this
will
be
constructed
this
year
that,
before
before,
this
is
open
back
up
after
construction.
That
staff
bring
it
back
in
that
time
frame.
E
E
E
All
right
thanks,
joel
I'll,
just
say
that
I
have
concern
about
this
at
this
point.
After
the
input
from
city
engineering
and
being
part
of
this
neighborhood,
I
don't
know
that
we've
had
a
full
discussion
with
the
neighborhood
about
it,
but
so
I'm
going
to
be
voting
against
the
motion.
But
let's
go
ahead
kay
and
pull
the
council
plate.
I
E
B
H
E
E
I
C
E
C
E
D
Q
E
I
E
E
E
R
R
R
R
Rioting
and
looting,
as
they
say,
is
the
wrong
way,
so
we're
getting
involved
in
our
local
government,
but
y'all
don't
want
to
hear
it,
and
so
I
guess
today
I
just
feel
really
defeated.
I
didn't
come
with
anything
prepared
to
say
I
I
just
wish
you
guys,
would
open
your
hearts
and
listen
to
what
we
have
to
say.
You
have
people
here
that
are
passionate
about
our
city
and
that
want
to
change
it,
and
it's
really
frustrating.
H
F
L
L
Climate
change
is
one
of
the
biggest
threats
that
we're
facing
and
by
taking
action
to
commit
to
the
carbon
free
by
2030
plan,
the
council
would
be
taking
an
important
step
to
make
our
city
and
our
world
a
safer
place
for
everyone.
Please
listen
to
what
the
people
are
saying
and
stop
partnering
with
corporations
like
mid-american,
who
care
more
about
profits
than
the
safety
of
our
neighbors.
Here
in
des
moines.
This
resolution
wouldn't
just
be
an
effective
tool
to
mitigate
the
effects
of
climate
change.
L
E
E
After
all
of
that,
the
parties
in
interest
have
made
their
comment.
We
will
open
it
up
to
any
member
of
the
public
for
germaine
comments
to
aid
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
live
within
that
250
feet
and
have
received
a
mailed
notice
of
the
resulting.
E
They
will
be
called
on
for
up
to
seven
minutes
of
total
jermaine
public
comment
at
one
minute
per
person
after
the
parties
in
interest
have
spoken
again
for
item
52
and
for
up
to
five
minutes.
Each
of
total
germain
public
comment
at
one
minute
per
person
after
the
parties
in
interest
have
spoken
on
item
55,
a
b
and
c
for
the
other
hearings
that
are
not
zoning
hearings.
E
E
Each
is
designed
to
allow
the
public
to
comment
concerning
the
discontinuance
of
the
city
use
of
city
property
in
the
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
five
minutes
for
jermaine
public
comment,
yet
not
to
exceed
one
minute
per
person
for
item
54.
E
The
hearing
on
the
27th
amendment
to
the
metro
center
urban
renewal
plan,
which
is
being
had
only
to
amend
an
already
existing
plan.
The
public
will
be
called
on
for
up
to
10
minutes
of
germane
public
comments,
yet
not
to
exceed
one
minute
per
person
for
the
remainder
of
the
hearings.
This
evening,
any
interested
person
may
make
germaine
comments
and
not
to
exceed
one
minute
per
person
to
a
maximum
of
five
minutes
per
hearing
is
a
reminder
on
the
construction
hearings.
E
E
I
want
to
remind
all
members
of
the
public
that
this
is
a
general
council
business
meeting
and
the
council
will
conduct
its
meetings
efficiently
and
in
an
orderly
manner
to
clarify
our
rules.
Citizens
comments
must
be
germaine
to
the
subject
that
we're
considering
and
will
rule,
and
I
will
rule
on
that-
germainness
arguing
about
any
ruling,
referring
to
other
comments
or
to
other
speakers
engaging
in
repetitive
or
slanderous
comments
or
continuing
to
be
non-germane
even
on
the
same
item
will
be
considered.
E
E
So
if
you
disrupt
the
meeting
or
adversely
affect
the
orderliness
or
efficiency
of
the
meeting,
you
will
not
be
recognized
in
the
public
speaking
portion
of
the
agenda,
and
we
will
instead
move
to
the
next
non-disqualified
speaker.
So
anyway,
we
again
wanted
to
make
that
clear,
so
that
there
is
no
misunderstanding.
E
Our
first
item
this
evening
is
item
50,
which
is
on
the
approval
of
documents
to
correct
the
vacation
of
a
portion
of
court
avenue
right
away
located
south
of
and
adjoining
309
court
avenue
to
allow
for
a
sidewalk
cafe
leads
a
is
the
first
consideration
of
the
ordinance
above
I'll.
Let's
open
it
up
and
we'll
ask
the
council
if
they
have
any
comments
on
that
again
to
the
public
germain
comments
for
the
general
public,
one
minute
to
speak
so
council,
anybody.
E
K
Hello,
my
name
is
adam
talman.
I
use
em
pronouns.
I've
just
noticed
in
the
agendas
the
past
few
meetings.
There's
been
a
lot
of
these
sidewalk
cafe
leases.
I
was
just
wondering
if
that's
like
a
new
thing.
The
city
is
trying
to
do
or
if
it's
like
an
existing
thing,
because
I
just
I
hadn't
heard
of
like
sidewalk
cafe
leases
before
so.
I
was
just
wondering
what
that
was
about
thanks.
E
D
R
C
S
T
D
E
G
E
All
right
first
ask
if
there's
any
parties
in
interest
again:
that's
the
applicant
or
those
within
250
feet
of
the
property
to
speak,
and
second,
any
german
comments
from
the
general
public
one
minute
per
person
up
to
seven
minutes
maximum.
But
is
there
any
party
and
interest
who
would
like
to
speak
we'd
ask
you
to
put
up
your
hand
at
this
time
or
the
general
public
that
is
within
250
and
received
a.
I
I
D
E
E
I
E
G
D
E
E
Again,
council
communication,
number
20-568
so
item
on
that
a
which
we
will
take
separately
is
on
the
addition
of
the
market
district,
large-scale
development
plan.
As
an
amendment
to
the
market
district
of
the
east
village,
master
plan
element
of
plan
dsm
creating
our
tomorrow
plan,
and
this
item
was
continued
from
our
december
7th
2020
meeting.
B
Mayor
I'll
I'll
jump
in
real
quick,
you
know
this
has
been
a
project
that
we've
all
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
and
we
worked
on
and
it's
nice
to
see
we're
getting
closer
to
the
finish
line.
Hats
off
to
the
staff
I
know,
they've
worked.
Aaron's
department
has
worked
very
very
hard
getting
this
done
with
our
developing
team.
B
This
is
exciting.
I
mean
our
current
value
that
we
have
down
there.
According
to
the
blue
letters
about
677
thousand
dollars.
Most
of
them
are
tax-exempt
properties
because
we
own
most
of
them
when
this
is
all
built
out
over
a
10-year
period.
The
taxable
value
upon
completion
could
be
on
a
conservative
level
of
245
million
dollars.
So
that's
pretty
amazing.
B
All
the
developing
parties
that
are
interested
in
building
down
there
isn't
from
downtown
des
moines
we're
not
moving
the
chess
board
around
and
bringing
people
from
this
is
from
from
all
parts
of
the
country
and
all
parts
of
our
region.
So
that's
that's
very,
very
important.
So
mayor
I'd,
let
my
other
colleagues
comment
on
it.
I'd
be
happy
to
move.
We
can
start
with
55
and
55a,
but
if
others
wanted
to
chime
in
I'd
sure
appreciate
it.
But
thank
you
to
everyone.
That's
been
involved
in
this.
B
N
Q
Mayor,
I
just
I
want
to
echo
what
joe
said
you
know
that
has
been
a
of
course.
We've
used
it
with
our
public
works
department
and
our
fueling
station,
and
it's
really
got
to
be
pretty
distressed
down
there
and
to
put
this
kind
of
development
on
paper
and
to
see
this
thing
come
before
us.
The
way
that
this
thing
is
coming
together
is
fantastic.
Q
N
B
Mr
mayor,
I
did
fail
to
mention
a
new,
more
efficient
municipal
service
center,
where
you
know
everything's
scattered
throughout
that
area.
We're
going
to
have
everybody
in
place
in
our
main
facility
and
it
came
in
under
bid.
So
that's
that's
another
plus
for
our
residents
and
our
in
the
service
that
we
can
provide
to
the
residents
of
our
city.
The
des
moines.
E
E
U
Hey
good
monday,
hello,
I
just
want
to
recognize
the
fact
that
the
east
village
is
gentrified
and
is
continuing
to
be
gentrified.
So,
while
continue
this,
while
you
all
continue
this
east
village
master
plan
of
the
plan
dsm,
please
recognize
that
you
are
furthering
gentrification
and
you
also
need
to
make
a
plan
for
reparations
for
how
you
will
repair
and
help
make
amends
for
the
lives
and
the
destruction
of
this
city
has
caused
due
to
gentrification,
not
only
in
the
east
village,
but
throughout
the
city.
Thank.
F
V
J
J
I
just
also
wanted
to
say
that
I
think
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
stretch
to
say
that
having
a
new
municipal
building
for
you
guys
to
all
work
in
and
stuff
will
make
everything
better
for
the
community.
When
you
know
you
could
be
using
that
money
for
a
lot
better
things
like
housing,
the
homeless
community,
that
you
wanted
to
recognize
all
the
dead
people
of
at
the
beginning
of
this
meeting,
but
not
do
anything
for
the
ones
who
are
still
living.
So
thank
you.
K
Hello,
my
name
is
adam
countenan.
I
use
him
pronouns,
I'd
like
to
uplift
what
jalen
and
peyton
said,
and
also
just
add
in
that.
I
also
think
it's
a
bit
strange
to
talk
about
this
as
like,
being
purely
beneficial
for
all
the
residents,
because
I
think
it's
it's
pretty
clear
to
those
of
us
that
have
been
listening
to
these
meetings.
This
is
mainly
something
the
developers
want.
Not
that,
like
the
developers
are,
I
don't
know
saying
that.
I
B
E
F
E
E
A
is
the
first
consideration.
The
origins
above
and
b
is
the
final
consideration.
The
orders
above
the
way
was
requested
by
erin
olson
douglas
the
development
services
department.
Director
and
again,
it
requires
six
votes
on
this
one.
The
first
one
it
was
pointed
out,
did
not
let's
go
ahead
and
open
it
up.
Any
comments,
counsel.
B
Mr
mayor,
I
would
just
echo
some
of
my
comments
earlier.
This
is
the
same
project.
Once
again,
I
will
say
the
risk
for
the
city
of
des
moines
is
reconstructing
a
street
that
needs
reconstructed.
The
rest
is
on
the
developers,
so
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
hearing
some
of
the
public
comment
that
I
just
heard.
So
I
will
move
item
b,
a
and
b
after
that.

All
right
mc,
this
is
on
a
city
initiated
request
to
rezone
property
located
in
the
areas
east
of
southeast
2nd
street,
in
the
market
district
from
dx2,
downtown
district
and
or
p2
public,
civic
and
institutional
district
to
limited
dx1,
downtown
district
continued
again
from
december
7th
of
2020
a
is
the
first
consideration
of
the
ordinance
above
b
is
the
final
consideration,
the
ordinance
above
the
waivers
requested
again
by
aaron
olson
douglas
our
development
services
department
director
and
requires
six
votes.
I'm
going
to
ask
city
attorney:
can
we
include
d
and
e
on
this
vote?
E
E
135-2.18.3
relating
to
design
alternatives
for
height
limitations
in
the
capital
dominance
area,
a
is
the
final
consideration
of
that
ordinance.
Above
and
again,
it's
requested
by
aaron
olson
douglas
our
development
services
department
director
again
requires
six
votes
and
e
is
setting
the
date
of
hearing
on
the
competitive
process
for

and
redevelopment
of
the
market

in

receipt
of

proposal
from

that
will
be

Hello,
I
do
think
we
need
clarification
around
whether
this
is
c
d
and
e
or
just
c,
because
it
was
presented
as
c
d
and
e,
and
it
seems
like
that
would
just
change.
But
my
question's,
not
that
my
question
is
for
c
part
b,
there's,
apparently
a
waiver
that
was
requested
by
one
of
the
development
services
directors,
and
I
was
just
wondering
what
the
reason
for
rushing
c
was
because
I
figure,
if
they're
rushing
it.
There's,
probably
a
reason
why
so
yeah
just
curious
to
that.
Thanks.
E
They're
able
to
move
forward
yeah,
I
think
we
can
tell
you
adam
that
I
think
the
idea
here
is
to
move
this
project
forward
and
get
get
it
moving
so
that
something
can
happen
in
the
upcoming
year.
We've
already
delayed
it
since
the
december
7th
meeting,
and
I
think
that
everybody,
including
city
staff,
is
anxious
to
get
working
on.
This
they've
been
working
on
it
for
years.

In

it

That's
part
of
this
reconstruction
is
there's,
there's
one
on
lay
street
and
one
on
stanton,
and
so
I
I
just
speaking
with
speaking
with
george
this
was
that
was
put
on
hold
during
covid,
but
he
wants
to
make
sure
that
before
they're
installed
on
stanton
that
they
come
back
to
the
neighborhood
and
tell
them
exactly
where
they're
going
to
be
installed
and
what
exactly
they're
doing,
because
he's
not
sure
if
that's
really
what
they
want
to
put
there.

I

Hello,
my
name
is
amy
and
I
used
to
her
pronouns
and
live
in
east
village.
I
spoke
at
the
last
meeting
and
over
the
past
two
weeks,
I've
been
emailing
and
calling
you
all
urging
you
to
pass
the
100
clean
energy
resolution.
I
don't
have
any
assurance
that
you've
received
those
messages,
so
I
hope
my
message
resonates
today
in
a
time
where
there
are
so
many
competing
issues,
and
only
so
many
resources,
many
of
which
are
allocated
to
dmpd.
For
some
reason,
the
climate
crisis
is
not
one
that
can
be
postponed.
W
W
This
is
an
economic
problem
that
everyone
can
relate
to,
because
when
households
have
to
repair
a
flooded
basement
that
costs
money
roads
needing
to
be
closed
for
repair,
not
only
costs
public
money
but
disrupts
traffic
costing
time
it
even
affects
businesses.
As
we've
seen
with
this
pandemic,
when
people
have
less
disposable
income,
it's
even
more
difficult
to
support
local
businesses
and
stimulate
our
local
economy.
W
All
of
this
matters
because
extreme
weather
events
like
floods,
are
the
direct
result
of
greenhouse
gases.
Those
gases
are
expended
in
the
coal
burning
process
that
mid-american
uses
to
create
electricity.
I've
heard
a
couple
of
council
members
insist
that
we
need
mid-american
to
help
write
the
resolution,
but
I
don't
understand
why
that
shows
that
you
are
prioritizing
their
profit
over
the
racial
justice,
economic,
public,
health
and
safety
benefits.
H
E
E
X
There,
okay,
can
you
hear
me
hello
des
moines
city
council?
I
come
to
you
to
utilize
this
time
to
pay
respect
to
those
who
this
land
was
stolen
from
and
those
who
were
stolen
from
their
land
brought
to
this
land
and
forced
to
build
underneath,
under
certain
circumstances
where
they
were
pressed,
drugged
and
forced
to
build.
I
am
asking
that
you
please
allow
me
to
utilize
this
time
to
be
silent.
I
will
be
back.
I
ask
that
you
please
k,
do
not
in
my
time.
E
Y
Hi,
my
name
is
denver
foote,
I
use
she
her
pronouns
and
I
live
in
ingersoll
park
area
when
the
du
ratio
hit.
I
was
left
without
power
for
days
if
it
was
not
for
my
neighbors,
my
community
members
coming
together,
I
would
have
not
been
able
to
cook
to
have
hot
water
to
see
in
the
dark
or
charge
my
phone.
These
are
your
constituents,
carl
boss
and
my
neighbors.
Y
I
am
extremely
thankful
for
my
neighbors
for
being
there
for
me,
but
why
did
mid-american
leave
us
in
the
dark
for
days
when
they
made
over
800
million
off
iowans
in
one
year?
Although
I
am
glad
to
see
council
considering
a
hundred
percent
carbon
free
future
for
our
city,
they
need
to
remember
their
constituents.
Come
over
corporations
mid-american
made
over
800
million
dollars
in
profits
off
iowans
last
year.
They
left
iowans
in
the
dark
for
days.
Y
It
is
time
for
them
to
pay
their
fair
share,
to
invest
in
paying
for
local,
solar
and
wind
power,
proper
battery
storage
in
a
modern
grid.
This
will
lead
to
good
paying
local
jobs
that
we
desperately
need
and
prepare
des
moines
for
the
next
storm.
We
need
a
24
7
carbon
free
energy
by
2030
in
des
moines.
Y
K
Hello,
my
name
is
adam
callanan.
I
use
him
pronouns
yeah,
so
I
would
like
to
first
call
out
that
there
is
a
budget
discussion
tomorrow
at
5,
30
p.m,
that
I
think
a
lot
of
people
in
this
meeting
are
going
to
be
interested
in.
You
guys
want
to
call
attention
to
that,
because
the
budget's
going
to
be
a
huge
issue
going
in
the
next
year,
especially
with
a
lot
of
us
calling
to
defund
the
police
that
have
been
so
violent,
many
of
us
this
past
year.
K
I
also
just
wanted
to
call
out
that,
at
the
start
of
this
meeting
there
was
a
proclamation
for
the
houseless
community
that
was
just
flat
out,
not
coupled
with
action
right
now,
there's
empty
unused
public
buildings
and
those
are
just
sitting
there,
this
winter
as
we're
leaving
houses
people
out
in
the
cold,
and
it's
not
just
like
we're
not
taking
action
to
help
them,
because
the
city
is
also
violently
evicting
houses.
People
from
their
camps
they've
been
doing
this.
K
As
far
as
I
know,
they
haven't
stopped
doing
this,
and
so
it
is
one
thing
to
do
with
that
action.
You
could
all
just
stop
doing
that.
I
don't
think
that's
going
to
happen,
but
I
just
wanted
to.
I
wanted
to
call
attention
that,
while
you're
saying
these
things
in
the
proclamation
to
you
know,
memorialize
house
people
have
died,
you're
saying
that
while
allowing
house
people
be
violently
evicted
from
camps
and
their
belongings
destroyed
yeah,
that's
all
I
have
to
say.
D
E
D
E
Z
These
officers
are
told
by
judges
all
the
time
that
what
they
do
is
illegal
and
they're
their
own
body
cameras
show
that
they
lie
in
court.
They
lie
on
their
police
reports,
which
is
perjury.
It
is
a
crime
and
nothing
is
done
about
it.
Scott
sanders
supports
this.
These
officers
lying
and
brutalizing
people
and
why?
Why
is
that
scott?
Can
you
tell
us,
could
you
please
tell
us
why
you
think
that
these
officers
behavior
is
okay.
AB
AA
AA
We
are
told
that
you
have
done
and
you
are
doing
all
that
you
can
do
and
then
you
throw
out
extra
precautions
and
actions
that
you
can
take
letting
us
know
that
you
are
not
doing
everything
you
can
that
you
are
actively
making
choices,
not
to
help
your
constituents
and
thus
killing
thousands
of
people.
So
mayor,
frank,
county,
your
lack
of
action
is
killing
thousands
of
people.
Council
person,
carl
voss.
Your
lack
of
action
is
killing
thousands
of
people,
counseling,
council
person,
johnny
bozen
or
connie
bozen.
AA
Your
lack
of
action
is
killing
thousands
of
people.
Council
person,
bill
gray.
Your
lack
of
action
is
killing
thousands
of
people.
Council
person
linda
west
regard.
Your
lack
of
action
is
killing
thousands
of
people.
Council
person,
josh
mandelbaum.
Your
lack
of
action
is
killing
thousands
of
people
council
person,
joe
gatto.
Your
lack
of
action
is
time.
H
J
J
We
have
climate
change,
causing
directions
to
come
and
tear
through
our
community
and
lack
of
action
on
that
pretty
much
the
common
theme
through
all
these
things
seem
to
just
be
lack
of
action,
though
so
it
seems
like
there
would
be
a
really
simple
solution
to
that,
which
would
be
all
of
you,
resigning
from
your
jobs
and
letting
other
people
who
actually
want
to
take
action.
Take
over
your
jobs,
so
I
think
I'm
gonna
make
that
suggestion
to
you
guys
and
I'm
not
just
talking
to
the
council
people
either.
J
I'm
talking
to
kay
I'm
talking
to
scott
sanders,
pretty
much
anyone
in
the
city
government
who
doesn't
really
want
to
do
their
job
or
do
anything
useful,
maybe
give
that
job
up
to
someone
who's
actually
gonna
do
something
about
it.
So
that's
gonna
be
my
suggestion
to
counsel
today
it
would
be
great
if
you
could
actually
make
some
covet
precautions
that
would
actually
help
save
people's
lives.
That
would
be
really
awesome.
One
big
step
you
could
take
is
actually
making
police
officers
wear
masks
when
they're,
interacting
with
the
time.
P
Alright,
my
pronouns
are
she
hers
and
I
live
in
ward
1.,
so
I
hope
you're
listening
bill
I'll
admit
that
I
haven't
always
been
as
plugged
into
local
politics
as
I
should
be,
but
these
past
few
months
I've
developed
a
deep
interest
in
my
ward
and
the
needs
of
the
other
people
who
live
there.
There
are
houseless
people
in
my
ward.
There
are
many
young
families
whose
income
barely
outpaces
the
poverty
line.
These
people
need
food
security.
They
need
emotional
support.
They
deserve
to
not
live
in
fear
of
the
next
racial.
P
We
don't
need
a
stadium,
we
don't
need
a
storefront
for
the
fairway
or
casey's
corporations
who,
by
the
way,
have
been
eager
investors
and
fascist
politicians
both
locally
and
nationally.
What
we
do
need
is
to
coalesce
around
all
of
the
amazing
community-led
initiatives
that
are
around
right
now,
especially
the
100
carbon-free
resolution
do
better.
I
yield
the
rest
of
my
time.
R
AB
S
S
We
have
lived
in
our
home
for
about
eight
years
now,
and
the
flooding
in
our
area
seems
to
be
increasing
every
year,
which
is
an
economic
challenge
for
our
family
to
invest
time
and
money
into
cleaning
that
up,
and
it's
only
gotten
worse
over
the
last
few
years
as
storms
have
gotten
larger
and
more
challenging,
but
also
as
a
community.
This
is
costing
our
city
a
lot
of
money,
especially
when
you
see
buyout
programs
in
the
four
mile
creek
area
that
make
families
move
their
homes
because
they
can
no
longer
live
in
that
area.

Yes,
homicide
rates
are
way
up
and,
unfortunately,
over
50
percent
of
them
are
from
the
black
community,
and
many
of
them
are
black
on
black
young

and
I'm
thinking
that
the
race
that
everyone
was
complaining
about
is
a
way
of,
maybe
stopping
some
of
this
when
the
police
confiscated
fifty

Okay,
good
evening,
I
was
going
to
speak
about
defending
the
police,
but
these
speakers
before
me-
just
I'm
I
don't
know
defending
the
police-
is
not
working
so
well
for
our
neighbors
to
the
north.
In
fact,
the
same
city

members
are
now
pressuring
the

to
explain

and
residents
have
worked
extremely
hard
in
the
past
years
to
create
a
state
that
attracts
all
people
to
our
state.
We
have
watched
our

become
one
of
the
top
states
to
live
in,
and
that
includes,

to

Hi,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can
hi.
My
name
is
isabelle,
brace,
I'm
17
and
I've
lived
in
des
moines.
My
entire
life
conversation
after
conversation,
I've
had
with
my
friends
and
peers,
has
been
centered
around
our
fear
for
the
future.
We
feel
out
of
control
because
we
all
recognize
the
real
and
present
danger
that
climate
change
presents
to
us
as
people
and
as
des
moines
citizens.
The
flooding
we
see
every
single
summer,
unpredictable
weather
patterns
and
the
duration.
This
summer
are
all
affecting
us
right
here.
AE
AE
We
can
be
a
model
for
climate
action
to
cities
across
the
midwest
and
the
100
clean
energy
resolution
is
the
very
first
step,
not
just
for
the
sake
of
policy's
sake,
because
but
because
your
constituents
should
not
be
risking
their
health
and
the
health
of
the
earth
just
to
live
in
des
moines.
Passing
the
100
clean
energy
resolution
will
secure
the
bare
minimum
of
a
livable
future.
With
the
rest
of
my
time,
I
did
want
to
say
that,
as
a
student
of
dmps,
that
sro
should
absolutely
be
removed
from

of
our
electricity
from
carbon
free
sources
by
2030..
AF
This
resolution
will
attract
investment
into
community
solar
energy,
battery
storage,
building
efficiency
and
micro
grids,
which
would
mean
when
the
next
storm
hits
and
power
lines
get
knocked
out.
We
won't
be
left
in
the
dark
cities
in
iowa,
like
kelowna,
are
already
doing
this.
They
have
their
power
back
on
hours
after
the
ratio,
rather
than
nearly
a
week
or
longer
in
des
moines.
This
resolution
will
also
bring
good
paying
local
jobs
to
build
wind
and
solar
farms,
install
panels
on
homes,
businesses,
government
buildings
and
retrofit
them
to
be
energy.
Efficient.
AF
Every
wind
turbine
is
manufactured
shipped
assembled
and
maintained
by
iowan
workers
altogether.
This
resolution
will
make
des
moines
resilient
against
severe
weather
and
lower
energy
rates
in
the
long
run
as
it
is
now
cheaper
to
build
solar
and
wind
generation
than
maintain
existing
coal
plants.
The
actions
of
those
in
power
in
the
next
decade
will
not
only
decide
the
fate
of
millions
of
people
in
our
lifetime,
but
for
the
rest
of
humanity.
As
we
know,.
AF
T
Yes,
my
name
is
sherry
hawk
and
I
live
in
ankeny,
but
I
spend
a
ton
of
time
in
des
moines
and
I
consider
its
energy
resource
decisions
to
be
very
connected
to
my
life.
I'm
a
long-time
mid-american
customer
and
when
the
duration
struck,
leaving
a
huge
limb
covering
my
entire
deck.
As
I
was
recovering
from
coven
19,
I
was
left
without
electricity
for
four
days.
These
are
only
a
couple
outcomes
resulting
in
part
from
mid-american
relying
on
fossil
fuels
and
not
putting
customers.
First.
T
So
I
tried
to
understand
why
any
decision
this
body
makes
would
not
support
a
resolution
assuring
that
this
community
get
a
goal,
set
a
goal
of
100
24
7
electricity
from
only
carbon
free
sources
by
2030
and
expecting
the
same
of
mid-american
in
any
future
negotiations.
The
investment
in
our
communities
will
be
profound.
Thank
you.
AG
Hi,
I'm
speaking
today
in
support
of
the
100
carbon
free
energy
resolution.
I
am
a
des
moines
resident
downtown
in
josh
mandelbaum's
district
112
11th
street.
I
believe
that
this
resolution
is
essential
to
building
a
sustainable
design
in
which
we
can
raise
our
children
for
decades
to
come
and
where
we
can
also
protect
our
natural
resources,
support
local
farmers
and
make
sure
that
we
are
living
in
an
environment,
that's
actually
safe
for
both
us
and
the
generations.
AG
After
us,
this
resolution
will
not
only
lead
to
better
and
more
jobs
in
the
clean
energy
sector,
but
it'll
also
lead
to
insurmountable
energy
savings
for
des
moines
residents,
which
is
something
that
should
be
a
priority
for
everyone
on
the
study.
Council
and
I'd
also
like
to
bring
up
the
point
that
mid-american
energy
is
contractually
bound
to
follow.
AG
Resolutions
from
the
des
moines
city
council-
and
that
means
that,
regardless
of
what
they've
said
when
they
came
and
lobbied,
y'all
they're
not
going
to
give
up
a
contract
with
des
moines
des
moines
is
one
of
their
most
profitable
customers
across
the
midwest,
and
they
will
be
bound
to
the
energy
of
resolution
and
there's
really
not
going
to
be
any
consequences
from
that
and
it's
going
to
positively
impact
everyone
within
the
city
as
well.
I'd
also
add
on
to
my
point
that
you
should
really
consider
putting
more
money
toward
actual.
AG
H
AB
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can.
Sir
scientific
reports
warning
about
global
warming
got
my
attention,
but
what
really
grabbed
it
was
something
I
witnessed
personally
in
march
of
2009,
I
was
on
a
train
from
sacramento
heading
to
dc
about
two
hours
out.
We
started
passing
through
a
vast
pine
forest.
What
was
startling
was
that
all
the
trees
were
dead,
all
of
them
as
far
as
the
eye
could
see
it
was
such
a
spectacle
that
the
train's
conductor
talked
about
it
on
the
pa
system.
He
correctly
identified
that
global
warming
was
behind
it.
AB
Rising
temperatures
invited
to
pass
the
emerald
ash
borer
to
devour
the
entire
forest.
In
2012,
when
I
was
working
out
of
ames,
I
would
often
travel
through
farm
country
that
year,
what
I
saw
was
mostly
dead:
corn
and
dead
soybeans.
The
extreme
drought
of
2012
became
exceptional
drought
in
many
places
in
2013..
AB
While
I
missed
it.
Thankfully,
I
understand
the
direct
show
made
quite
a
nasty
and
lasting
impression.
Global
warming
is
real.
It's
happening
now
and
getting
worse
mayor
and
council
members.
You
have
an
opportunity
to
take
significant
action
by
passing.
The
renewable
energy
resolution
that
ensures
des
moines
will
have
24x7
carbon
free
sources
by
2030.
borrowing
from
lincoln.
Let
me
point
out
that
you
cannot
escape
history.
Your
decision
will
light
you
down
in
honor
or
dishonor
to
the
latest
generation.
AB
H
AH
Council,
yes,
yes,
excellent
yeah,
so
I
am
matthew
pierce
at
921,
pleasant
street
downtown
des
moines,
mr
mandelbaum's
district.
I
also
wanted
to
com.
I
wanted
to
push
the
100
24
7
carbon
electricity
goal
for
the
city
of
des
moines
resolution
that
has
been
pushed
to
the
january
11th
meeting.
I
wanted
to
stress
that
des
moines
can
be
a
leader
in
addressing
the
climate
crisis
only
if
you
want
it
to
be
des.
AH
Moines
needs
to
say
an
example
for
the
des
moines
metro
and
the
state
at
large.
As
you
know,
google,
amazon,
facebook,
microsoft
and
apple
and
other
tech
giants
are
moving
aggressively
to
eliminate
their
carbon
emissions
and
do
we
want
them
to
stay
in
iowa
or
expand
into
iowa
in
our
city
and
metro?
Then
we
must
do
what
they
want
and
not
what
mid-americans
want.
They
are
giant
corporations
with
hundreds
of
billions
to
invest.
AH
E
E
Starting
in
march,
we
issued
a
state
of
emergency,
we
progressed
and
strengthened
it
as
time
went
on
to
now.
We
have
a
mass
mandate
in
place
and
we
would
urge
each
and
every
one
of
you
listening
to
not
only
make
sure
that
people
are
following
it
here
in
des
moines,
we
are
limiting
the
crowd
sizes
in
all
public
spaces
that
we
can
possibly
have
authority
over.
We
also
are
urging
our
neighbors
in
central
iowa
to
follow
our
lead
and
to
issue
similar
orders.
E
We
think
it's
all
of
us
working
together
that
hopefully
can
make
a
an
effort,
a
significant
effort
in
flattening
the
the
curve
and
getting
our
positivity
on
our
testing
down
below
15
cdc
would
like
to
see
it
under
five.
We
are
working
very
diligently
and
have
limited
public
access
to
all
of
our
city
buildings,
including
city
hall,
and
limiting
a
lot
of
the
work
with
that
is
so
important
to
a
lot
of
our
youth.
E
At
our
recreation,
centers
and
whatever,
but
we
are
limiting
that
with
no
basketball,
leagues
or
whatever
till
february.
Let's
hope
we
can
work
together
and
drive
it
down
and
everybody
do
the
right
thing:
wear
a
mask:
wear
a
mask,
wear
a
mask,
also
social
distance
and
do
not
go
into
areas
where
there
are
large
crowds,
especially
indoors
and
hopefully,
as
the
vaccine
is
released,
and
we
can
make
a
dent
in
it
and
hopefully
get
iowa
and
especially
our
central
iowa
and
des
moines
area,
the
numbers
down
to
a
manageable
level.
E
Is
we
not
only
try
to
do
it
here
in
in
iowa,
but
get
other
mayors
in
iowa
around
this
country
and
around
the
world
to
reach
out
and
begin
to
do
their
work?
In
spite
of
the
fact
that
some
areas
haven't
been
supportive
of
some
of
that
climate
work
and
have
actually
denounced
the
paris
climate
agreement?
E
B
F
D
U
N
Mayor,
thank
you,
mayor
county,
in
the
words
of
councilman
gray.
I'll,
be
brief.
I'd
like
to
thank
ed,
fallon
and
kathy
burns
for
bringing
this
idea
forward
to
us.
I
think
their
timing
to
bring
this
forward
is
excellent.
It
dovetails
nicely
with
environmental
and
climate
efforts
as
as
outlined.
This
will
have
seven
members
on
the
task
force
each
appointed
by
council
members.
There
are
already
facebook
groups
that
are
interested
in
backyard,
beekeeping
and
backyard
chicken
coops.
Just
as
two
examples.
I
think
as
proposed.
N
E
Yup,
I
appreciate
that,
and
I
think
it's
good
ed
has
been
a
great
proponent
of
community
gardens
and
and
everybody
working
together
for
food
security
for
all,
and
so
I
certainly
appreciate
that,
and
thanks
carl
and
connie
for
bringing
it
forward.
As
we
know,
we've
got
a
group
that
has
been
working
together
for
nearly
probably
a
decade
now
on
community
gardens
and
locally
grown
food
and
whatever,
but
I
think
bringing
everybody
together
and
furthering
this
effort
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
E
I
E
D
G
Mr
mayor,
this
is
westergard
and
I
would
like
to
move
this
item
after
we
hear
from
the
public,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
couple
of
comments.
I
contacted
sherry,
mcmichael
who's,
the
executive
director
of
variety,
and
I
called
her
to
tell
her.
Thank
you
for
this
wonderful
playground
that
now
sits
in
a
in
in
ward,
two
and
shari
just
said
that
that
she
wanted
me
to
express
to
everyone.
G
So
I
just
wanted
to
pass
that
on,
but
I
for
those
who
may
not
have
seen
this
playground
yet
the
variety
star
playground
is
a
playground
that
is
built
for
children
of
all
abilities,
so,
whether
you're
in
a
wheelchair,
it
doesn't
matter
what
your
disability
is.
There's
there's
something
for
you
to
do
at
the
star
playground
and
it
variety
club,
this
playground
costs
in
excess
of
750
000,
and
this
was
done
with
donations
from
people
who
give
money
to
variety
club
and
to
variety
and
now
they're.
G
Turning
the
playground
equipment
over
to
the
city
of
des
moines,
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
couple
of
shout
outs-
I
sat
in
the
riverview
meetings
that
were
held
every
friday
morning
for
several
years,
as
the
group
of
volunteers
worked
with
the
parks
department
to
make
riverview
everything
it
is
today,
and
we
have.
We
have
a
very
special
employee,
lee
wheelock
works
for
the
city
of
the
parks
department
and
he's
the
one
who
had
all
of
these
ideas.
G
He
would
bring
us
pictures
and
drawings
of
of
how
the
playground
could
actually
replicate
the
amusement
park.
That
was
there.
So
when
you
go-
and
you
see
this
playground
you're
seeing
some
of
of
the
creations
that
lee
had
put
together
and
then
they
worked
with
the
fabricator
to
put
everything
together,
but
it's
it's
really
impressive.
I
I
encourage
people
to
go,
see
this
and
while
it's
not
technically
open,
yet
we
will
be
having
a
ribbon
cutting,
hopefully
by
next
june
for
the
whole,
the
riverview
park
and
the
whole
area.
G
B
Yeah
mayor,
I
would
just
echo
linda's
praise
to
the
variety
club
you
know
six
years
ago.
They
built
one
at
ewing
park
and
it's
amazing
and
it's
it
gets
so
much
use.
So
I
can't
thank
them
enough
for
what
they've
done
in
in
you
know
on
the
on
the
southeast
side,
so
I'm
glad
they're
branching
out
and
doing
it
in
all
parts
of
the
city.
So
again
I
just
I
can't
thank
them
enough.
Q
G
E
N
County,
this
is
vos.
I've
been
there
twice
with
the
grandkids.
I
was
there
on
a
friday
afternoon
and
for
a
place,
that's
not
officially
open.
I
counted
more
than
20
kids
there
and
what
is
one
of
the
cool
things
is
watch
the
kids
running
across
the
bridge
across
I
don't
know.
Is
that
called
the
lagoon?
What
doesn't
really
matter?
I
mean
they
are
just
dead
eye
right
to
the
play
areas.
E
And
I
look
forward
to
the
official
ribbon
cutting
linda.
They
will
go
out
there
and
hopefully
we'll
do
it
at
a
time
when
we
can
be
a
little
bit
beyond
this
pandemic
and
if
not
we'll,
mask
up
tightly
and
have
a
huge
social
distance.
But
what
a
great
opportunity
for
today
and
and
for
a
long
time
to
come
and
thank
everybody
for
all
their
efforts,
and
especially
our
city
staff
and
polk
county,
who
has
been
a
big
investor
in
things
going
on
up
there
as
well.
E
H
I
E
G
G
B
E
I
want
to
wish
everyone,
city,
council
staff
and
our
general
public
a
safe
and
hopefully
happy
holiday,
let's
social
distance,
let's
wear
a
mask,
let's
stay
out
of
large
gatherings
and
together
we
can
get
through
this.
Thank
you
all
look
forward
to
a
great
2021
as
we
get
beyond
this
pandemic
have
a
great
holiday.
