All
right
good
afternoon,
everybody
and
welcome
to
our
february
22nd
des
moines
city
council
meeting
before
we
get
started
this
evening.
I've
got
a
proclamation
that
I
would
like
to
read,
but
before
I
do
so,
we've
got
cameron
miller
brooks
who's
the
chair
of
our
civil
and
human
rights
commission
and
I'd
like
to
let
him
make
a
couple
of
remarks.
Cameron.
Are
you
there.
O
Yes,
lake
in
merrick
county
appreciate
you
giving
this
opportunity
for
today's
important
proclamation,
I'm
celebrating
black
history
month
as
a
chair
of
the
civil
human
rights
commission,
obviously
part
of
our
mission
and
our
vision
to
make
this
city
as
equitable
and
more
equitable
every
single
day.
We
appreciate
the
support
that
we
have
from
our
residents,
our
volunteers,
our
staff,
within
the
department
and
outside
of
the
department
who
help
us
go
down
this
path.
As
many
of
you
all
know,
we
started
the
bridging
the
gap
process
several
years
ago.
O
There
was
not
only
championed
by
the
mayor,
but
many
of
our
processes
and
policies,
I'm
already
in
process
of
being
implemented
if
they
haven't
been,
if
they
have
not
done
so
already,
but
we
truly
look
forward
to
working
with
our
residents,
our
council
members
and
our
staff
members
to
ensure
that
des
moines
is
a
leader
in
our
state.
When
it
comes
to
equitable
services,
I
mean
that
we
continue
to
strive
to
be
greater
as
we
reimagine
what
safety
and
justice
and
communities
look
like.

No.
Q
Hi
maker
pronounced
she
her.
I
would
like
you
guys
to
pull
number
14
improving
tax
abatement
applications.
It
looks
like
you
guys
are
approving
tax
abatement
for
a
member
of
the
city
staff
or
nick
shaw,
the
finance
director,
and
I
just
want
a
clarification
on
if
that's
a
conflict
of
interest.
I'd
also
like
clarification
on
why
the
urban
revitalization
plan
includes
tax
abatement
for
multi-million
dollar
projects,
half
million
dollar
homes.
Things
like
that.
So
I'd
love
for
you
guys
to
discuss
that.
H
F
R
Yep,
I
would
like
34,
pulled
and
discussed
it's
about
having
events
in
beaverdale
with
we
can
build
it
lc,
which
is
a
group
run
by
jeff
jeff
young,
who
has
had
a
lot
of
fraud
in
the
past
with
the
city,
and
I
don't
think
that's
somebody.
We
should
be
trusting
to
run
events
right
now
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic.
I
B
H
H
C
B
All
right,
councilmember
gray,
asked
to
speak
on
item
34.
item.
34
is
a
request
from
we
can
build
it
lc
to
allow
the
beaverdale
farmers
market
and
other
special
events
in
accordance
with
the
frankfurt,
junior
or
high
school
pud
conceptual
plan
for
property
located
at
4801
franklin
avenue,
council
communication
number
21-08
bill.
Thank.
S
S
It
just
took
place
on
48th
and
franklin,
and
that
seemed
to
go
okay,
I'm
in
looking
at
the
other
special
events
that
would
be
option.
Two
none
of
the
neighbors
are
are
in
favor
of
it.
You
know
it's,
it's
a
bad
thing
to
try
and
populate
a
lot
of
people
around
with
a
lot
of
special
events
with
the
covid
situation
still
within
our
city,
so
they
did
a
good
job
at
the
farmers
market.
I
think
that's
what
we
should
limit
it
to.
S
H
T
A
T
C
B
All
right
that
completes
our
consent.
Agenda
takes
us
to
item
39.
39
is
amending
chapter
114
of
the
municipal
code
regarding
traffic
regulation
changes
as
follows:
council
communication,
number
21-085,
a's
among
code
modification
related
to
the
vacation
of
25th
street
between
clark
and
forest
avenue
b,
is
a
code
modification
related
to
the
franklin
avenue
resurfacing
from
beaver
avenue
to
merle
hay
road
project
and
c
is
a
code
modification
related
to
the
brook
landing
plat
2
development?
H
B
M
So
the
communication
explains
the
details,
but
essentially
we
had
notification
that
the
the
memory
space
for
the
videos
that
were
being
recorded
for
police
use
was
running
out
and
running
out
quickly,
so
we
needed
to
quickly
purchase
additional
capacity
and
look
to
mitigate
the
issue
through
removing
older
files.
So
we
were
successful
in
both
attempts
in
reducing
the
existing
amount
of
use
and
expanding
that
with
the
quick
purchase
that
was
completed
just
a
couple
weeks
ago.
M
C
B
You
know
for
all
those
people
that
are
looking
to
speak
this
evening
under
our
public
speaking
item
on
the
agenda,
we'll
only
be
calling
on
those
who
have
registered
to
speak,
as
has
been
our
practice
because
of
the
number
of
speakers
this
evening.
Each
speaker
is
going
to
receive
two
minutes
and
18
seconds
to
make
your
comments.
So
please
keep
your
own
time
because
at
the
end
of
the
two
minutes
and
18
seconds,
the
clerk's
going
to
announce
time
and
the
speaker's
mic
will
be
closed
and
we'll
move
immediately
to
the
next
speaker.
S
B
R
Hello,
my
name
is
adam
callan
and
I
use
he
him
pronouns,
I'm
going
to
start
by
encouraging
county
and
council
to
respect
other
people's
viewpoints
might
be
different
from
their
own.
Just
want
to
list
that
first.
I
also
want
to
talk
about
on
that
subject
how
the
city
has
made
it
harder
for
the
public
to
comment.
We
keep
having
agenda
changes
last
minute
and
if
you
hey
like,
if
you're
like
me-
and
you
look
at
the
agendas
over
the
weekend
and
then
suddenly
they're
changed
without
announcement
at
the
meeting.
R
That's
a
problem
so
it'd
be.
I
don't
know
how
that
can
be
fixed
if
we
just
have
some
sort
of
notice
on
that,
I
don't
think
that's
going
to
happen,
but
would
be
nice
also
the
fact
that
council
is
still
getting
a
lot
of
our
names
wrong,
not
mine,
adam's,
a
pretty
normal
white
sounding
name,
but
yeah.
We
get
a
lot
of
other
names
wrong
still.
R
So,
if
council
could
please
work
on
that,
that
would
help
to
make
a
more
respectful
environment
like
like
mayor
county,
just
asked
us
to
be
a
part
of
yeah,
and
some
of
that
is
like
writing.
Names
wrong
and
other
things
are
like
pronouncing
names
wrong.
So
that
would
be
something
that
council
can
take
on
on
to
try
to
make
this
a
more
respectful
environment.
R
I
also
want
to
talk
about
how
the
consensus
agenda
just
passed.
I'm
glad
that
godda
was
willing
to
recuse
himself
from
an
item
that
involved
varadas,
but
we
did
have
county
had
a
conflict
of
interest
on
item
30..
I
didn't
bring
it
up,
because
I
could
only
talk
on
one
item
for
council
rules,
but
yeah
number
30
was
a.
It
was
a
project
that
paul
county
relative
of
frank
county
is
on
that.
The
city
is
for
some
reason,
giving
over
two
million
dollars
to
in
tif
funds
yeah.
R
Also,
then
I
want
to
talk
about
what
constitutes
an
emergency
item
40
that
we
just
heard
about
it's
considered
an
emergency
when
again
cops
need
more
money.
We
saw
last
year
whenever
we
gave
cops
100k.
We
saw
it
again.
We
called
an
emergency
meeting
whenever
we
needed
to
rush
the
drake
stadium.
We
called
an
emergency
meeting
for
to
buy
a
40
million
parking
garage.
We
never
call
them
emergency.
R
Any
kind
of
emergency
like
on
this
scale,
for
the
ratio
for
the
pandemic
in
general,
seeing
like
any
type
of
funds
like
this
being
diverted
and
also
not
weeks
ago,
whenever
a
houseless
man
died
and
the
community
had
to
come
around
and
raise
funds
to
to
house
these
people
and
make
sure
that
more
people
did
not,
unfortunately,
die
in
that
cold
weather,
so
yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
talk
about
what
does
and
doesn't
count
as
an
emergency
to
counsel,
and
that's
all.
Thank
you.
Fine.
Thank
you.
E
Hi,
my
name
is
vanessa
mourinho
I
use
she
her
pronouns.
I
would
like
to
echo
something
that
adam
said
in
regard
to
the
fact
that
the
city
considers
dmpd
running
out
of
memory
space,
an
emergency,
but
an
individual,
an
actual
human
being
passing
away
due
to
freezing,
is
not
an
emergency
not
to
mention.
Last
year
we
lost
20
people
due
to
the
freezing
temperatures
from
the
polar
vortex.
E
So
the
fact
that
the
city
wasn't
prepared
to
handle
that
this
year
is
disgusting
to
me
this
council.
Moving
on
to
my
next
point,
this
council
doesn't
function
properly.
The
way
it's
set
up
right
now.
I've
been
listening
to
these
meetings
and
trying
to
participate,
for,
I
would
say
almost
a
year
now,
and
I
still
don't
understand
when
is
okay.
E
When
is
it
a
good
time
to
discuss
with
all
of
you
my
concerns,
you
never
want
to
hear
it.
It's
not
germaine
during
these
meetings,
I'm
speaking
now,
but
I
feel
like
it
falls
on
deaf
ears.
I
don't
get
any
response
from
any
of
you.
You
just
say
next
speaker,
so
it's
not
satisfying
and
I
still
don't
feel
like
I'm
being
heard.
E
So
you
all
need
to
come
up
with
a
better
way
to
engage
with
your
community
because
right
now,
you're
not
engaging
with
us
you're
literally
sitting
together,
just
the
few
of
you
and
making
decisions
for
the
entire
city
based
on
your
own
opinions
and
your
own
preferences
and
what
you
think
is
right
and
wrong.
But
you
guys
don't
know
and
you've
proved
that
to
us
over
and
over
again
bill
gray,
especially
what
what
do
you
actually
do?
You're,
my
ward
member
and
you
don't
ever
return
my
phone
calls
or
my
emails
or
my
letters.
E
B
U
I
think
it
is
really
rich
that
you
would
dedicate
the
first
portion
of
today's
meeting
to
declaring
black
history
month
in
des
moines
and
give
a
little
speech
about
how
we
should
be
honoring
and
listening
to
not
only
the
activists
like
edna
griffin
who
came
before,
but
the
activists
who
exist
today
and
who
use
edna,
griffin's
name
for
good
and
all
of
those
activists,
all
of
the
black
activists
that
that
you
think
it's
so
important
to
listen
to
are
on
these
meetings.
There
are
activists
on
these
meetings.
U
U
P
P
B
B
V
V
It
is
because
of
you
that
the
city
has
been
safe.
I
truly
believe
that,
not
because
of
the
city
council,
I
just
really
need
to
echo
that
big
time
anyway
des
moines
city
council,
you
suddenly
have
become
very
vague
in
sharing
information
with
your
constituents
in
your
agenda
need
to
all
be
reminded.
That
is
your
constituents
who
have
voted
you
into
your
positions
that
each
of
you
hold.
Also
with
such
role.
V
You
are
in
control
of
making
decisions
that
impact
your
constituents
lives
from
money
made
by
your
constituents
or
the
land
that
they
live
on
the
jobs
that
they
hold
or
even
involving
rioting,
violent
police
mindset
to
which
you
have
yet
to
address
to
this
day,
even
though
your
constituents
have
come
to
you
time
and
time
again,
begging
you
to
please
listen
to
them
and
take
this
serious.
Instead,
you
pull
back
and
become
more
vague
and
throw
more
money
out
to
each
other.
V
A
good
example
of
this
is
the
fact
that
we
were
not
told
how
much
time
we
were
going
to
be
allowed
to
talk
today
or
on
item
30.
The
fact
that
paul
county,
a
relative
of
yours,
frank,
will
be
benefiting
from
the
money
once
again
that
is
given
if
item
30
is
put
through.
So
those
are
just
one
examples
given
where
this
council
is
exploiting
to
benefit
in
fit
its
own
mold
time
and
time
again
we're
asking
for
transparency.
V
W
Thank
you,
hello.
My
name
is
chelsea
chisholm
vargas,
my
pronouns.
Are
she
her
aya?
I
like
to
begin
my
comments
by
acknowledging
on
may
31st
of
2020
the
des
moines
police
department,
violently
pepper,
sprayed
shot
rubber
bullets
as
well
as
tear
gas
at
children
and
teenagers,
predominantly
black
teenagers
in
the
merle
hay
neighborhood,
and
we
still
have
not
heard
a
single
word
from
anyone
on
the
council
regarding
this,
this
absolute
atrocity
in
our
city,
I
do
know
I
sent
video
footage
directly
to
you,
mayor
county
and
still
have
not
heard
any
word
back.
W
I
would
love
if
someone
would
speak
out
against
the
violence
that
the
des
moines
police
department
has
caused
on
our
children.
It's
not
just
that
incident
as
well
sergeant
greg
wessels
is
known
to
have
body
slammed
a
black
teenage
girl
at
the
bus
stop
downtown
in
which
the
young
girl's
family
was
awarded
75
000,
due
to
a
lawsuit,
a
settlement,
perhaps
from
the
city
of
des
moines.
I
know
greg
wessels
has
also
got
us
up
to
a
million
dollars
in
lawsuit
settlements
because
of
his
absolute
just
madness.
W
I'll
also
add
that
some,
I
believe
their
name
was
sergeant
but
officer,
rodney
allen,
briggs
with
the
des
moines
police
department,
is
currently
on
paid,
leave,
they're
being
charged
for
just
doing
illegal
things
on
the
job,
and
these
are
cops.
So
when
we
talk
about
crime
in
the
city,
we
need
to
be
acknowledging.
The
des
moines
police
department
are
causing
crime
in
the
city.
W
Also,
I've
heard
that
you
folks
are
trying
to
get
more
data
for
the
cameras
and
I'm
sorry
I
just
have
to
laugh
at
that,
because
even
when
we
have
needed
this
camera
evidence,
this
footage
evidence
to
support
people
like
andrea,
the
journalist
from
the
des
moines
register,
who
was
illegally
arrested
and
is
still
facing
charges.
She
had
to
fight
to
get
her
footage
just
to
find
out.
There
was
no
footage,
so
even
when
we
do
want
footage,
we
have
to
fight
to
get
it.
W
We
have
to
pay
for
it
and
even
when
these
cops
are
doing
illegal
things
on
camera,
nothing
happens.
So
I'm
curious.
What
is
the
point
of
needing
to
get
more
footage?
What
is
the
point
of
promoting
these
officers
like
sergeant
greg
wessels?
What
is
the
point
of
putting
officers
like
rod,
rodney
briggs,
on
paid
leave
when
they're
doing
illegal
things
to
try
to
support
their
girlfriend
in
their
own
criminal
case?
So
I.
B
B
You
know
quickly
again
go
over
some
of
the
rules.
You
know
for
the
hearings
tonight.
You
know
we've
got
several
zoning
items
consisting
of
those
atoms
between
42
and
50,
and
we
also
have
a
vacation
hearing
and
some
other
items
so
as
a
reminder
for
the
zoning
items
only
which
are
items
42
to
50
we're
going
to
hear
from
the
parties
in
interest
first
and
then
the
general
public.
B
So
the
parties
in
interest
are
only
the
applicant
themselves
or
those
persons
living
with
250
feet
within
that
of
the
property
to
be
re-zoned
to
whom
the
city
has
sent
notices.
After
all,
those
parties
in
interest
have
commented,
we
will
open
it
up
to
any
member
of
the
public.
You
know
for
germane,
comments
to
that
item,
to
aid
the
city,
clerk
and
calling
on
the
parties
in
interest.
I
will
ask
everyone
else
not
to
raise
your
hand
on
the
zoom
unless
you
are
that
zoning
applicant
or
live
within
that
250
feet
and
receive
that
notice.
B
Anyone
who
raises
their
hand
before
it
is
time
will
be
compared
with
a
mailing
list
and
if
you're
not
on
that
list,
you'll
be
considered
disruptive
and
will
not
be
recognized
for
the
remainder
of
the
meeting.
So
please,
I
ask
wait
until
I
call
and
everybody's
been
doing
pretty
well
the
last
few
meetings
on
this.
So
I
call
for
general
public
for
zoning
items.
B
X
B
B
As
to
item
50,
it's
not
a
rezoning,
there's
a
no
applicant
or
vicinity
parties
in
interest,
then
that
item
is
going
to
proceed
immediately
for
that
up
to
seven
minutes
of
total
germain
comments
by
the
public
that
no
more
than
one
minute
per
person.
So
for
the
remainder
of
the
hearing
this
evening,
any
interested
party
may
make
germaine
comments
and
not
to
exceed
one
minute
per
person
to
maximum
five
minutes
per
hearing.
B
As
a
reminder
in
the
construction
hearings,
only
comments
as
to
the
plans
or
the
specifications,
the
form
of
documents
and
the
engineers
estimate
in
the
lowest
bidder's
designation
are
going
to
be
considered
germane.
All
their
comments
on
those
are
considered
non-germane.
So
let's
go
ahead
and
quickly
get
started.
B
Item
42
is
on
request
from
the
city
of
des
moines
who's
the
owner
to
amend
plan
dsm,
creating
our
tomorrow
future
land
use
designation.
The
vicinity
of
1501
harriet
street
to
be
re-zoned
from
I-1
industrial
district
to
p2,
public
civic
institutional,
to
allow
the
property
to
be
developed
with
public
recreation
use,
a
is
the
first
consideration
of
the
ordinance
above
and
b
is
the
final
consideration.
The
orders
above
the
waivers
requested
by
our
city
management,
requires
six
votes
I'll
quickly.
Ask.
B
B
Q
F
Basically,
it's
going
to
be
used.
Basically,
as
it
is,
I'm
not
sure
why
it
was
ever
zoned
industrial
district
means
it's
always
been
a
public
in
and
out
for
our
river
and
that's
what
it's
going
to
be
used
for.
So
yes,
there
will
be
a
park-like
setting
that
we
will
maintain
much
better
than
what
it's
maintained
now.
B
C
B
Okay,
adam
three:
it's
on
a
request
from
hjt
inc
jack
houghton
is
the
officer
to
rezone
property,
located
at
2101
dixon
street,
from
I-1
industrial
district
to
limited
i2
industrial
district
to
allow
property
to
be
used
additionally
for
the
transfer
of
hazardous
and
flammable
materials,
a
is
the
first
consideration.
The
ordinance
above
and
b
is
the
final
consideration.
The
ordinance
above
the
this
waiver
is
being
requested
by
jack
out
and
who's
the
officer,
and
it
requires
six
votes.
B
All
right
item
44:
it's
on
a
request
from
jcam
llc
to
amend,
glenn
dsm,
creating
our
tomorrow
future
land
use
designation
to
rezone
property,
located
in
1503
fifth
avenue
from
n5
neighborhood
district
to
n52
neighborhood,
to
allow
the
property
to
be
converted
to
a
two
household
use.
Duplex
a
is
the
first
consideration.
The
ordinance
above
b
is
the
final
consideration.
The
ordinance
above
the
waiver
is
being
requested
by
john
chang
who's,
the
officer,
and
it
requires
six
votes
again.
B
N
Oh
yeah,
my
name
is
david
miller.
Speaking
on
behalf
of
john
chang,
regarding
the
proposed
rezoning
of
his
property,
I
said
mr
ching
has
invested
nearly
300
000
in
renovation
improvement
of
the
property.
The
duplex
will
have
two
large
living
areas.
Rent
will
be
twenty
one
hundred
and
fifteen
hundred
dollars
on
these.
Mr
chain
will
do
background
checks
and
credit
checks.
N
Potential
renters,
I
believe,
you'll,
be
an
attentive
landlord.
He
did
not
intentionally
ignore
his
own
regulations
originally.
When
he
bought
this
house.
There
were
already
three
living
units
in
it.
Despite
that
that
was
not
legal,
but
he
assumed
it
was
okay
to
convert
it
to
a
duplex.
By
the
time
he
discovered
that
there
were.
There
were
regulations
involved
here.
N
B
H
Y
Hey,
can
you
hear
me
we
can
cool
just
wanted
to
speak
on
this,
because
I
do
know
that
it
is
in
the
riverbed
neighborhood
and
I'm
just
concerned
about
ongoing
gentrification,
that's
happening
in
that
neighborhood,
and
so
I
hear
this
developers
landlord
coming
in
and
wanting
to
rezone
this
into
a
two
household
duplex,
which
sounds
good.
I
would
just
hope
that
rent
is
not
too
high.
I
know
that
you
mentioned
some
rent
prices.
I
think
1500
to
2.
Y
000
would
like
to
see
that
go
down
a
little
bit
so
yeah,
just
very
cognizant
of
the
gentrification
that's
happening
in
that
neighborhood,
which
is
also
coupled
with
the
hyper
policing.
That's
happening
in
that
neighborhood.
I
think
they
go
hand
in
hand,
and
I
think
that
it's
intentional
for
the
city
and
for
the
des
moines
police
department
to
hyper
police,
the
neighborhood,
the
riverbend
area,
because
they
do
want
black
folks
and
people
of
color
out
of
there
and
they
want
white
folks
and
more
affluent
folks
to
be
moving
in.
Y
So
that's
just
something
I
want
to
speak
out
against
and
make
sure
that
gentrification
is
being
stopped.
I
think
that
we
have
a
problem
with
that
in
the
city
and
would
like
to
see.
Members
of
our
council
speak
out
against
gentrification
in
all
forms,
especially
in
the
riverbed
neighborhood,
which
also
again
goes
in
with
a
hyper
police,
and
we
should
be
from
the
des
moines
police
department.
W
S
H
C
B
Item
45
is
on
request
from
porter
hardware
inc:
it's
the
owner
to
rezone
property,
located
at
4207,
hubble
avenue
from
mx3
mixed-use
district
to
cx
mixed-use
district
to
allow
the
property
with
an
existing
retail
sales,
general
and
vehicle
sales
and
rental
equipment
to
expand
to
retail
sales,
large
format
with
additional
warehouse
and
accessory
outdoor
storage,
a
is
the
first
consideration.
The
ordinance
above
and
b
is
the
final
consideration,
the
ordinance
above
the
waivers
requested
by
david
porter,
who
is
the
owner.
B
Z
Yeah
good
evening,
honorable
mayor
members
of
the
council,
wally
pell
pelds
design
services,
2323
dixon
street
des
moines.
This
is
a
unique
request
from
us.
Typically,
we
don't
ask
for
zoning
changes
to
do
site
plans,
especially
within
the
existing
code,
but
it
ended
up
with
the
new
code
that
got
laid
over
this
district.
We
ended
up
in
a
nexus
that
wouldn't
allow
our
existing
operation
to
go
forward.
This
was
brought
to
our
attention
when
we
proposed
to
add
a
50
by
100
building
in
the
back
to
enclose
some
of
the
rental.
Z
M
AA
K
Yes,
you
may
mayor,
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
prove
item
45
a
and
b,
and
I
would
also
like
to
thank
city
staff
and
to
thank
mr
porter
and
wally
peld
for
working
together
to
make
this
happen.
Porter
hardware
was
really
put
into
a
a
very
unique
situation
because,
with
the
reconstruction
of
hubble
avenue,
they
lost
some
of
their
their
parking
and
it's
really
been
a
challenge.
K
And
then,
when
we
changed
the
zoning,
it
really
became
very
difficult,
and
you
know
I
just
have
to
emphasize.
We
said
we
were
going
to
make
our
zoning
code
and
it
would
be
a
living
document
and
we
would
work
with
people,
but
he
has
he.
He
just
encountered
a
lot
of
obstacles
to
go
through,
so
I
thank
porter
hardware
for
staying
staying,
diligent
in
his
attempt
to
get
it
a
change.
So
with
that,
I
do
move
45
a
and.
B
K
C

All
right,
texas,
item
46
item
46,
is
on
a

to
allow
the

The
proposal
on

extension
of
the

revision
of

There's

All
right
item
49
is
continuing
the
hearing
on
request
from
wesley

inc
for
the
approval
of
an
amendment
to
the
wesley
acres,
pud
conceptual

located

401
37th

The
the
request
is
to
have
a
motion
to
continue.
The
hearing
I
believe
till
march
8th
is
that
right
demons
manager.
H
C
K
C
B
Point
6.6.2
and
134
7.2.3
relating
to
the
expansion
of
the
extension
of
legal
non-conforming
residential
uses
within
one
household
and
two
household
residential
structures.
By
a
addition
there,
too,
and
the
construction
of
detached
private
garages
and
out
buildings
on
lots
containing
such
residential
structures.
K
Mr
mayor,
before
you
reach
out
to
the
public,
if
I
could
just
make
a
couple
of
comments
before
I
make
a
motion
on
this,
is
that
I
just
I
want
to
make
it
clear
to
people
that
are
listening,
that
item
50
does
not
change
any
zoning,
but
what
it's
doing
is
it's
an
amendment
to
make
minor
changes
in
for
homes
that
are
in
a
non-conforming
area,
so
and
and
what
this
really
comes
down
to
is.
There
are
some
homes
that
are
in
an
industrial
area.
K
K
AA
A
A
A
Q
Hi
india,
showmaker
pronuncia,
I
wanted
to
follow
up
on
what
daniel
was
saying,
daniel.
You
recognized
a
pattern
of
constantly
changing
zoning
in
city
council
meetings.
That's
not
just
a
pattern
for
this
thing.
It's
a
pattern
for
every
meeting
and
essentially,
we've
got
like
a
plan.
The
plan
dsm
that
isn't
really
structured
in
a
way
that's
functional.
Q
There
have
been
concerns
from
council
members
about
this
in
the
past
and
creates
situations
like
this
that
we
have
to
go
back
and
change
those
back
to
industrial
or
from
industrial
back
to
neighborhood,
which
is
what
linda's
requesting
but
yeah.
This
is
like
a
repeating
problem
that
we've
had
on
every
city
council
that
I've
been
on
since
june,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
the
city
needs
to
be
doing
something
about
that
that
there
needs
to
be
a
new
plan.
Q
A
X
X
X
Of
all
the
other
people
in
fairmont
park
neighborhood,
so
I
I
think
it
would
be
a
great
gesture
to
to
move
this
move
this
and
then
come
back
and
hopefully,
as
soon
as
possible
and
rezone
this
area,
I
believe
all
the
residents
there
would
would
enjoy
that
and
be
a
lot
better
off
trying
to
if
they
ever
try
to
sell
their
house.
It'd,
be
kind
of
a
tough.
AD
AC
AD
H
D
Mayor
county
members
of
the
council,
michael
ludwig,
deputy
director
of
development
services,
there
have
been
some
statements
made
about
refinancing
and
sale
of
houses
and
rebuilds
that
are
not
accurate.
The
zoning
code
changed
the
zoning
of
the
areas.
These
are
non-conforming
legal
non-conforming
uses.
The
zoning
code
does
allow
illegal
non-conforming
use
to
be
rebuilt
on
a
property
in
its
existing
footprint.
The
code
changes
in
front
of
you
are
going
to
actually
allow
some
expansions
of
those
structures
and
additions
of
garages.
D
As
far
as
financing
goes,
a
person
can
still
sell
their
house.
Our
code
specifically
addresses
that
non-conforming
legal
non-conforming
status
does
not
change
with
ownership,
so
it
can
be
sold,
and
our
research
with
lenders
has
shown
that,
with
a
rebuild
letter
from
the
zoning
enforcement
officer,
which
is
a
fairly
common
letter
for
legal
non-conforming
uses,
banks
are
accepting
that
for
financing.
D
D
Y
Y
I
do
want
to
just
point
out
again
that
you
know
indira
actually
answered
a
question
that
I
constituent
had
on
this,
because
the
city
council
makes
things
so
confusing
and
does
not
take
the
time
to
explain
things
that
people
get
on
this
meeting
and
they
are
confused
and
they
need
other
people
to
answer
questions
for
them
and
the
city
council
does
not
provide
that
information.
So,
thank
goodness
we
have
indira
on
this
call
and
hopefully
have
her
on
the
city,
council
and
replacement
of
bill
gray
coming
up
here
in
this
this
year,
so
yeah.
Y
K
K
I
know
that
three
buyers
went
to
our
own
neighborhood
finance
to
purchase
this
house
that
the
speaker
spoke
about
now.
I'm
told
that
the
house
has
been
you
know,
remodeled,
there's
not
much
else
to
do,
but
nfc
said
no.
You
can't
we're
not
going
to
loan
on
it
because
you
can't
build
a
garage
and
that's
what
they
would
use
their
money
for.
K
There
is
a
neighborhood
down
on
mari
that
we
did
the
same
thing
with.
Is
that
we
changed
it
from
residential
to
industrial
now,
nfc
who's
very
aware
of,
what's
going
on
in
our
market,
has
has
purchased
lots
in
the
in
the
neighborhood
on
east
21st
and
over
off
of
martin
luther
king.
They
can't
build
a
house
there,
because
industrial
will
not
allow
you
to
build
anything
so
they're
in
a
really
tough
spot.
I
think
we
have
damaged
our
neighborhoods.
K
K
I
had
a
problem
with
this
back
in
2018
and
2019
when
we
passed
the
code.
I
know
that
I've
brought
up
these
issues
many
many
times
before,
but
now
it's
really
impacting
us,
because
on
this
one
street
alone,
we've
had
a
fire
and
the
house
is
just
sitting
there
fire
damaged,
because
he
can't
do
anything
with
it.
He
wanted
to
to
build
on
as
long
as
as
long
as
the
house
is
is
burned
and
he
has
to
put
a
new
roof
on
him.
K
K
She
had
to
go
through
plan
and
zoning.
She
she
had
to
go
through
all
of
the
city
processes
to
get
it
done,
and
it
wasn't
easy.
It
wasn't
an
easy
process
like
if
I
want
to
go
build
a
garage.
All
I
have
to
do
is
go
down
to
the
net,
to
the
to
the
counter,
get
my
permit
and
build
a
garage,
but
we're
making
it
difficult
for
these
people
that
are
in
affordable
houses
in
a
very
affordable,
neighborhood,
they're,
still
they're
property
owners.
K
When
we
talk
about
about
the
zoning
code-
and
I
just
want
to
make
clear-
we
can't
change
this
zoning
tonight,
just
like
all
of
these
that
come
before
us.
It's
not
city
council
that
has
changed
the
zoning
it
is.
These
applicants
have
to
go
through
the
plan
and
zoning
process.
They
have
to
sit
down
with
city
staff,
there's
a
long
process.
That's
that
takes
place
before
plan
and
zoning
makes
a
recommendation
to
city
council
to
go
ahead
and
approve
the
changing
of
zoning
and
I'll
tell
you.
K
It
really
puts
my
hair
on
fire
when
I
hear
people
talk
about
rebuild
letters,
because
I
have
dealt
with
the
city
in
the
past
about
rebuild
letters
and
they
are
not
easy
to
get
in
fact.
A
few
years
ago,
I
remember
I
tried
and
tried
to
get
a
rebuild
letter
on
a
house
that
was
non-conforming
and
the
city
said:
we're
no
longer
issuing
rebuild
letters.
Well
now
they've
changed
that
and
they
are.
But
how
long
does
it
take?
K
K
It
doesn't
look
like
we
do,
but
I
want
to
go
one
step
further
and
ask
that
we
seriously
have
conversations
about
going
back
and
re-looking
at
our
zoning
and
how
we
have
impacted
our
neighborhoods,
and
I
know
that
I've
had
several
conversations
with
our
city
manager
and
he
really
is
not
in
favor
of
that,
but
I
think
we
owe
it
to
the
residents
that
live
in
our
city.
We
have
lots
and
lots
of
industrial
land
that's
available
right
now.
We
don't
need
to
worry
about
this
being
industrial.
K
I
understand
that
some
of
these
areas
may
sit
in
neighborhoods
that
that
you
may
look
at
and
say.
Well,
that's
really
not
a
neighborhood.
It's
too
close
to
industrial.
This
is
where
residents
choose
to
live
many
times,
because
it's
affordable,
they're
familiar
with
the
neighborhood
they've
grown
up
in
the
neighborhood.
K
B
K
M
M
The
issue
that
I
understand
has
not
been
resolved
to
the
to
the
satisfaction
of
the
council
member
is
a
complete
rezoning
back
to
residential,
which
impacts
empty
lots
and
the
ability
for
someone
to
come
in
have
an
empty
lot
and
build
residential
that
discussion.
We
can
bring
back
to
to
the
full
council
in
a
work
session
setting,
if
that's
the
desire,
so
we
can
address
that
separately,
but
we
are
quickly
addressing
all
the
non-conforming
legal
non-conforming
issues
that
have
been
brought
to
us.
K
K
F
Mayor,
thank
you.
I
I
appreciate
the
comments.
I
too.
We
have
changed
our
zoning
two
years
ago.
We
said
we
would
go
back
and
and
look
at
it
again,
for
instance
tonight,
on
the
agenda
we
are,
we
had
to
change
the
zoning
for
from
industrial
to
a
park
setting
where
it's
always
been
a
park
setting
because
we
didn't
catch
it
as
council
members
staff
put
it
on
there,
intentional
or
not
intentional,
but
we
do
need
to
look
at.
F
You
and
your
staff
need
to
take
the
responsibility
of
changing
it
and
and
not
pointing
out
two
years
ago,
when
we
voted
on
this
and
said
that
we
would
revisit
it
in
a
year
if
we
seen
problems
in
it
now
it's
been
two
years.
There
is
problems
on
it
and
we
do
need
to
revisit
it
probably
sooner
than
later,
because
it
sounds
like
there's
some
loaning
issues.
F
F
So
I
I
wholeheartedly
agree
with
you
councilmember
westergard,
and
I
think
that
we
we
need
to
address
this
sooner
than
later.
It's
not
something
that
we
can
just
breeze
over,
like
we
breezed
over
it
before
this
needs
to
be
addressed
now,
so
whether
we
need
to
get
together
as
a
workshop
or
a
work
session.
However,
you
want
to
do
it.
H
C
B
B
F
C
F
J
There
you
go
sorry
about
that.
Yup.
Honorable
mayor,
that's
correct!
It
is
a
different.
So
a
couple
first
question:
it
is
a
different
contractor
in
roads
out
of
des
moines
as
the
the
low
bidder.
The
first
phase
was
around
eight
million,
so
it
was
more
expensive
it.
The
first
phase
did
have
the
water
main
replacement,
but
yeah
we
are
seeing
in
great
prices.
There's
no
question:
this
is
a
great
price.
J
F
J
J
No
worries
honorable
mayor
members
of
city
council.
This
is
steve,
neighbor
city
engineer,
so
so
we
did
get.
This
is
a
different
contractor
than
did
that
then
was
phase
one
phase.
One
was
just
over
eight
million
dollars
this.
This
contractor
a
little
bitter
inroads
out
of
des
moines,
came
in
under
six
and
a
half
million.
J
So
we're
obviously
very
happy
with
the
the
bids
and
pricing
that
we
are
seeing
great
pricing
right
now
of
folks
looking
for
for
work
and
now
the
first
phase
did
have
water
main
replacement
in
that,
so
that
that
added
some
cost
of
the
first
phase,
but
and
then
the
second
question
this.
This
phase
is
similar
in
that
complete
reconstruction
of
the
roadway
and
it
does
add,
sidewalk
on
the
west
side
from
waters
all
the
way
to
george
flagg
parkway.
F
Okay,
and
and
do
we
have
any
history
with
inroads
llc
because
of
my
seven
years
on
the
council,
I
don't
ever
remember
seeing
their
name.
Is
that
a
different
company?
That's
changed
names
to
inroads,
I
mean
we're,
awarding
a
six
and
a
half
million
dollar
contract,
which
is
quite
a
bit
of
money
in
a
road.
That's
traveled
a
lot
and
do
we
have
history
on
in
inroads,
llc.
J
They
are,
they
are
newer
and
growing
they,
the
history
we
have
as
the
city
they,
the
inroads,
did
franklin
avenue
project
that
was
just
completed
last
year.
They
have
tended
to
do
more,
their
focus
is
asphalt,
paving,
and
so
they
they
are
we'll,
be
doing
the
the
paving
work
on
this
contract.
They
have
a
number
of
subs
who
subcontractors
who
are
very
experienced.
Riley
is
one
of
them
that
subcontractors
that
are
used
to
that.
F
J
J
F
J
J
This
side,
we
just
wanted
to
go
quicker,
but
it
still
will
take
two
construction
seasons.
There
is
some
storm
store
work
and
then,
with
the
they
added
there
is.
There
is
some
storm
sur
work
that
needs
to
be
done
on
the
west
side
and
then
adding
the
sidewalk
all
the
way
down
to
george
flagg
there's
some
retaining
wall
work.
So
I
we.
We
anticipate
that
this
work
will
start
this
spring
and
be
completed
in
the
fall
of
22.
So
it's
two
construction
seasons.
J
N
B
N
J
J
B
Y
Yeah
I'm
just
interested
on
this
item,
especially
because
I
live
like
right
over
here-
live
in
the
watrous
south
neighborhood
ward,
3,
council,
member
mandelbaum's
ward.
Incidentally,
it's
also
councilmember
joe
gato's
ward,
because
that
is
where
he
lives
at
so
I
mean
that's
just
a
fact:
right,
like
joe
godda
lives
in
ward
3,
but
he
represents
ward
4.
F
Mayor
could
steve
tell
us
what
the
right-of-way
between
is
going
to
be,
because
I
know
on
the
other
side
of
the
street
in
some
sections-
it's
right
next
to
the
street,
and
are
we
going
to
see
that
on
the
west
side
of
the
road?
Also,
or
are
we
going
to
have
some
sort
of
distance
between
the
street
for
safety
reasons
in
the
sidewalk
on
the
west
side
of
the
road
consistently
all
the
way
down.

C
AE
Yes,
all
right,
perfect!
Thank
you.
My
name
is
dylan
work
in
the
city
of
des
moines
live
just
outside
of
it,
but
just
wanted
to
comment
on
seeing
a
almost
three
million
dollar
contract
go
to
a
a
union
general
contractor.
That's
going
to
be
employing
the
union
members
from
des
moines
to
work
on
a
project
within
its
city
limits.
So
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
show
my
support
to
to
that.
So
thank
you
very
much.
AE
H
B
C
C
AF
AF
F
H
B
C
B
B
L
Yes,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
all
right
thanks.
I
want
to
use
my
time
tonight
to
highlight
and
uplift
community
leaders
all
over
des
moines
who
have
stepped
up
and
made
our
first
organizer
community
and
to
help
our
most
vulnerable
neighbors.
Some
of
them
are
like
des
moines,
mutual
aid
des
moines,
blm,
collective
north
des
moines,
mutual
aid,
edna
griffin,
mutual
aid,
the
sweet
tooth
farm
and
their
community
fridge.
L
You
know
good
vibes
movement
among
other
community
members
and
a
lot
of
them
are
in
this
meeting.
So
I
just
wanted
to
use
this
time
to
you
know
highlight
the
effort
that
they
have
made.
I
feel
like
us,
as
a
community
has
stepped
up
and
picked
up
a
lot
of
slack
from
our
city
government
and
have
you
know,
relied
on
our
community
as
as
we
see
the
need
that
is
great
in
in
des
moines,
so
I
just
wanted
to
shut
that
out.
L
While
we
are
on
the
subject
of
the
police
police
department,
I
understand
that
you
know
it
has
to
be
a
due
process
before
we
can
fire
a
police
officer,
and
I
hope
that
officer
bricks
is
fire
soon,
as
his
power
tripping
behavior
makes
me
feel
unsafe
and
when
he's
fired.
I
hope
that
we
can
charge
the
money
that
we
are
paying
him
now
to
sit
at
home
because
of
something
that
he
did.
That
was
time,
obviously,
against
the
law.
H
T
T
T
People
have
expectations
of
their
local
leaders
and
police
departments
to
make
decisions
that
will
keep
crime
down
and
keep
their
communities
safe.
Defunding
police
will
hurt
the
same
people.
They
are
trying
to
help.
Statistics
show
the
communities
would
see
an
uptick
in
crime,
regardless
of
race.
The
majority
of
people
still
support
retaining
the
police
departments
with
all
due
respect
to
the
city
council.
T
If
defending
the
police
is
ever
truly
put
on
the
table
for
discussion,
I
would
seriously
hope
that
it
would
be
put
on
a
ballot
and
put
before
the
people
of
des
moines,
because
they
should
be
the
ones
that
have
that
choice,
and
I
also
want
to
clarify-
because
this
seems
to
be-
I
don't
know,
no,
they
don't
get
it.
I
don't
know,
but
in
any
profession
you
could
be
a
teacher,
a
factory
worker,
a
postal
worker,
a
police
officer,
you're
gonna
be
off
on
paid
leave,
because
that
is
the
union.
T
B
AG
Hi
to
get
with
you
this
time,
I
just
want
you
all
to
know
if
you
have
to
have
been
on
twitter
and
notice
that
I've
been
called
a
white,
supremacist
and
racist.
I
want
you
to
know
that
I
am
neither
what
I'm
hoping
to
do
is
I
want
everyone
to
get
along.
I
want
our
city
to
be
safe
for
everyone
in
the
inner
city
in
the
north,
south,
east
and
west.
AG
AG
AG
I
think
it'd
be
a
good
idea
that
we
all
make
sure
if
we
see
homeless
people
that
we
let
them
know
that
they
can
be
put
up
today.
I
listen
to
your
work
session
of
cure
violence.
I
want
to
say
I
am
100
for
this.
If
there's
investigations
being
done
into
making
sure
it
touches,
the
people
that
aren't
being
touched
already
hundred
thousand
to
five
hundred
thousand
is
a
good
bargain.
AG
B
B
N
B
H
B
B
AH
All
right
good
evening,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can.
Thank
you.
This
is
a
jacob
grobe.
You
see
him
pronouns,
I'm
a
des
moines
resident,
so
we're
almost
a
year
into
the
pandemic,
and
I
want
to
bring
attention
to
a
report
that
was
published
on
february
12th
by
axios,
which
found
that,
even
though
the
city
has
a
lot
of
money
to
help
people,
it
wasn't
getting
that
money
to
people
in
need
because
of
administrative
failures
by
the
city.
AH
The
report
found
that
over
500
families
are
on
a
waiting
list
to
get
rental
assistance,
because
the
city
isn't
processing
apps
fast
enough,
so
people
are
being
barred
from
life-saving
assistance
because
what
looks
like
to
be
the
city
hasn't
hired
enough
people
to
staff
the
program,
so
we've
been
getting
on
these
council
meetings
every
two
weeks.
You
know,
since
the
pandemic
started,
holding
you
all
accountable
to
do
everything
you
could
to
help
people
in
need
during
the
worst
pandemic
and
economic
downturn
of
our
lifetime.
AH
And
yet
we
see
reports
like
this
and
I'm
glad
that
the
city
looks
to
be
stepping
up
to
partner
with
a
nonprofit,
but
handing
off
an
essential
service
to
a
private
entity,
isn't
always
the
best
strategy
and
often
leads
to
corruption
and
services
not
being
delivered
so
yeah.
So
I'm
glad
the
state's
taking
action,
but
it's
been
far
too
long.
AH
It
should
happen
a
long
time
ago.
We
should
have
gone
to
this
point
and
meanwhile,
while
this
was
happening,
racist
cops,
abusive
cops
have
been
tormenting.
Our
houses
neighbors
during
the
polar
vortex
mutual
aid
groups
got
200
of
our
houses,
neighbors
and
hotels,
and
while
we're
doing
that,
all
you
hear
about
and
c
is
literally
cops,
driving
around
camps
driving
around
the
hotel
and
harassing
our
neighbors
over
and
over
and
over
again.
AH
So
the
amount
of
money
that
we
pick
pay
dmpd
could
easily
house
everyone
who
needs
it
save
a
lot
of
money
and
it
would
help
people
and
we
won't
have
to
deal
with
this
in
the
first
place.
So
if
the
city
is
looking
to
address
this
issue,
I
recommend
cutting
and
firing
every
racist
cop,
every
abusive
cop,
that
we
are
protecting
we're
sick
and
tired
of
it
and
we
need
to
defund
the
mpd.
Thank
you.
Q
Q
Q
That
are
untrue,
and
I
also
want
to
point
out
the
fact
that
when
we
have
speakers
talking
about
wanting
to
do
things
in
our
community
and
in
our
city,
we
should
be
making
sure
that
they
live
in
our
city,
unlike
some
of
the
speakers
today,
who
definitely
don't
and
aren't
speaking
about
our
city
and
our
city's
needs.
So
those
are
a
couple
of
things.
I
also
want
to
point
out
the
fact
that
the
city
needs
an
overhaul
of
how
it
deals
with
the
land
that
is
incorporated
in
the
city
of
des
moines.
Q
The
urban
revitalization
plan
needs
an
overhaul.
The
zoning
plan
needs
an
overhaul.
There
need
to
be
protections
in
there
for
houses,
people
so
they're,
not
being
criminalized
by
police.
There
need
to
be
like
a
reassessment
of
funds.
Funds
need
to
be
going
towards
housing
projects
instead
of
towards
racist
and
abusive
police
departments
who
most
of
your
budget
is
going
to
patrol,
and
these
people
are
sitting
at
evelyn
k,
davis
park
and
watching
black
kids
play
in
splash
pads.
Q
I
just
want
to
say
all
of
that
to
show
that
like
defunding,
the
police
is
a
reasonable
thing,
because
we're
spending
way
too
much
money
over
there
and
honestly
people
come
in
here
and
say
like.
Oh,
I
don't
want
to
defund
the
police
because
I
like
them,
like
it's,
just
not
practical,
there's
more
that
we
need
to
be
looking
at
and
I'm
going
to
yield
the
rest
of
my
time.
