say

None
the

Item

is
approving
the
annual
agency
plan
for

All
right-
and
I
would
like
to
quickly
on
the
consent
agenda
items
tonight
on
three
through
26
item
four,
a
b
c
d,
f
g
h,
I
m
r
and
t
have
been
withdrawn
because
the
inspections
are
incomplete
and
those
are
for
generally
liquor
license.
23C
was
withdrawn,
the
property
abatement
was
completed
26
I
was
added
and
it's
a
second
reading
of
the
ordinance,
but
other
than
that.
D
B
Okay,
any
opposition
hearing.
None
item
passes
item
three
is
proving
the
consent
agenda
tonight.
Those
are
items
three
through
26
and
these
are
routine
items
and
they're
generally
enacted
by
one
roll
call
vote
with
separate
discussion
unless
someone
counsel
or
the
public
and
if
there's
a
public
request
to
post
something
it
would,
those
requests
would
require
majority
vote
of
the
council
but
request
an
item
to
be
removed
or
considered
separately.
Tonight.

Hello,
my
name
is
adam
callanan,
I'm
an
organizer
with
people's
town
hall.
I
use
em
pronouns.
I
would
like
26
I
pulled.
If
council
wants
to
discuss
it,
public
should
be
able
to
discuss
as
well.
This
is
not
controversial
or
routine.
This
is
something
that
counts
themselves
have
disputed
amongst
themselves.
So
we
need
to
discuss
it.
It's
not
non-controversial.
B

A

B

It's
simply
working
man,
and
this
just
fits
nick
to
a
t.
I
think
either
k
or
or
laura
may
have
a
photo
of
his
truck
license
plate
over
the
last
25
years.
Nick
has
had
a
hand
in
rehabbing
just
about
every
building
that
has
been
saved
in
the
east
village
in
our
own
loft,
for
example,
nick
and
a
crew
that
he
organized
dug
out
our
dirt
floor
basement,
removed
a
foot
of
dirt
and
poured
a
new
floor.
A
B
G
N
D
B
B
I
I
My
concern
is
that
we
we
have
made
the
exceptions
too
broad
and-
and
I
think
we
need
to
narrow
those
exceptions,
and
so
I'd
like
to
move
the
second
reading,
but
I'd
like
as
part
of
that
motion
to
move
that
we
strike
section
two
dash
109,
subpart
e
and
subpart
f,
so
subpart
e
to
be
clear.
What
I'm
moving
we
strike
is
actions
or
transactions
involving
council,
member,
immediate
family
members
or
business
partners
of
council
members.
I
As
long
as
such
city,
council,
action
or
transaction
results
in
a
substantial
increase
in
the
city
tax
base
for
directly
results
in
a
substantial
improvement
to
a
city
neighborhood
for
purposes
of
this
exemption,
substantial
shall
be
as
determined
by
the
city's
ethic
officer
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
So
I
move
we
strike
all
of
that
language
and
then
f
is
grant
loan
or
financial
assistance
programs
where
the
city
council
explicitly
authorizes
or
directs
that
council
members
or
their
immediate
family
are
eligible
to
participate,
and
I
move.
We
strike
that
language
too.
N
N
B
E
O
Bill.
Thank
you
mayor.
I
guess
this
comes
down
to
the
decision
of
process.
You
know
we
started
on
this
four
months
ago.
We
have
gone
through
dialogue,
we
have
gotten
a
work
session
on
it.
We
have
worked
with
the
city
legal
team
and
we
had
a
vote
at
the
last
meeting
unanimous
to
go
ahead
with
that
with
the
code,
and
here
we
are
it's
second
reading
and
all
of
a
sudden
we're
picking
it
apart.
I
don't
understand
it
it.
O
It
makes
no
sense
to
me
why
weren't
all
these
concerns
brought
up
back
in
in
the
start
of
this
thing,
and
why
did
you
vote
unanimously
to
accept
the
first
reading
and
then
come
in
and
want
to
change
it
on
the
second?
I
I'm.
I
guess
I
don't
know
what
the
the
thought
process
is.
I'm
behind
that.
So
I
mean
I'm
going
to
go
with
my
original
vote.
I
think
you
know
the
first
process
was
good.
It
should
have
been
followed
through
right
to
the
end.
So
I
can't
support
this
one.
J
No
problem
thanks,
mr
mayor,
I
appreciate
everyone's
comments.
I
wholeheartedly
agree
with
councilmember
gray:
we've
gone
through
we've
gone
through
this
multiple
times.
You
know,
I
think
the
bigger
question
is.
Is
we
have
a
lobbyist
that
works
for
an
environmental
group
that
sits
on
our
council
and
lobbies
strictly
only
for
environmental
things?
I
think
that's
where
the
bigger
problem
lies
than
any
of
the
other
problems
that
that
are
set
out
in
this
in
this
policy,
and
I
don't
think
any
of
it.
J
Now,
if
we
want
to
include
some
of
the
environmental
issues
that
josh's
company
lobbies
for
at
the
capitol
and
and
lobbies
for
as
he
sits
at
the
table
for
the
same
initiative
and
the
same
process,
I'd
be
willing
to
look
at
some
of
the
other
things,
but
there's
no
way
that
that
shoe
fits
all
of
us
and
until
we're
until
we're
able
to
distinguish
what
that
is
and
how
that
works.
For
for
him
and
for
others.
J
I
won't
support
that
either
we
had
a
good
policy
and,
at
the
last
minute
we're
going
to
change
it.
I
think
we
need
to
look
deeper
into
some
of
the
initiatives
that
a
lot
someone
getting
paid
to
lobby
for
environmental
initiatives
to
come
and
implement
some
of
those
environmental
initiatives
to
our
city
because
of
his
lobbying
firm,
that's
more
of
a
conflict
than
anything
that
we've
got
here.
B
I
The
city
attorney
has
said
that
likely
creates
an
appearance
of
a
conflict
of
interest,
and
this
policy
would
prohibit
me
from
participating
in
discussions
on
any
of
those
bills.
It
would
also
have
an
impact
should
the
city,
so
you
know
we
have
a
sustainability
director.
Now
we
have
and
we
will
be
in
the
process
of
developing
a
comprehensive
climate
action
plan.
I
Other
cities
across
the
country,
as
part
of
their
climate
action
plan,
have
chosen
to
intervene
in
front
of
the
public
utilities.
Commission,
the
bulk
of
the
work
that
I
do
is
in
cases
in
front
of
the
public
utilities.
Commission,
if,
as
part
of
our
plan
in
the
future,
we
decide
that
we
need
to
take
a
position
on
cases
in
front
of
the
public
utility
commission.
I
I
will
not
participate
in
those
discussions
at
all,
because
that
would
be
also
an
appearance
of
a
conflict
of
interest
and
what
this
policy
would
prohibit
me
from
participating
in
those
discussions.
So
I
do
think
this
policy
directly
impacts
the
work
I
do
as
an
environmental
attorney,
and
I
think
I
think
it's
important
that
we
address
all
situations.
J
I
did
I
did
mr
mayor.
I
appreciate
that
and
I've
I've
read
it
over
and
I've
also
had
discussions
with
our
city
legal
department.
I
I
believe,
if
you
want
to
push
this
as
far
as
you
want
to
push
it,
then
I
believe
you
need
to
look
at
part
of
the
benchmarking,
the
benchmarking
criteria
that
we
have
laid
out.
Some
of
those
things
that
you
were
co-chair
of
those
things
are
also
part
of
the
initiative
from
your
company
and
and
we've
we've
interacted
those
things
into
our
city.
I
Mr
mayor,
if
I
may
I
we
we
did
look
closer,
I
I
don't
get
paid
for
any
of
the
work
that
I
do
on
the
city
council.
I
have
expertise
in
these
areas.
You
can't
take
that
the
fact
that
I
have
expertise
in
these
areas
and
take
that
away
from
my
ability
to
participate
that
doesn't
create
a
conflict.
It
doesn't
create
an
appearance
of
a
conflict.
In
fact,
it
was
one
of
those
things
that
I
think
contributed
to.
I
So
I
know
you
want
to
raise
that,
but
but
I
think
there
are
actually
a
lot
more
issues.
You
know.
For
example,
we
just
had
our
fair
chance
ordinance
pulled
from
a
work
session
a
couple
weeks
back
and
that
directly,
that
ordinance
would
directly
impact
your
business,
and
so
we
can
go
down
that
path
in
terms
of
the
breadth
of
you
know
the
breadth
of
of
these
ordinances
and
and
how
they
impact
people.
But
I
don't
get
paid
for
any
of
the
positions
that
I
take
on
the
council.
B
N
N
Then
economic
development
are
the
ones
that
will
that
will
determine
that
to
put
a
policy
in
like
this.
You
know
what
in
I'm
just
going
to
say
it.
It's
pitting
council
members
against
council
members,
there's
a
divisive
group
here
that
just
wants
to
tear
apart,
so
they
look
better
and
I
just
I'm
gonna
vote
no,
and
I
just
have
to
say
that
I
just
think
it's
it's
ridiculous
and
it
gets
put
in
the
newspaper
and
nobody
really
even
knows
what
the
situations
are,
leave
it
to
economic
development.
N
N
B
E
I
just
wanted
to
say
I
think
this
policy
almost
does
the
opposite.
It
makes
it
very
clear
it
doesn't
put
anybody
in
a
position
to
determine,
especially
if
there's
limited
dollars
on
who
gets
what
we
don't
have
to
take
votes
on
every
single
issue.
If
something
comes
up,
it's
a
clear
policy
that
I
think
helps
us
going.
B
I
think
that
the
item
is
has
been
moved.
There
has
been
a
significant
discussion.
I
just
I
think
I
should
add
what
I've
been
thinking
and
I
will
have
to
say
that
I
on
the
first
reading
and
why
I
think
a
lot
of
us
asked
to
have
it
not
waived.
The
second
and
third
reading
on
the
first
one
was
because
there's
a
lot
of
detail
to
this.
B
B
Sometimes
it's
rain
gardens
and
rain
barrels
and
those
kinds
of
things
that
everybody
has
access
to
and
a
council
member
shouldn't
be
prohibited,
but
I
sort
of
feel
and
have
in
my
ears
on
the
council
that
I
and
my
immediate
family
have
stayed
away
from
any
perception
of
a
conflict,
especially
on
a
financial
benefit
to
my
my
immediate
family
or
or
business
partners,
and
so
I
have
stayed
away
from
it.
So
I
like
the
way
it's
the
whole
thing
has
been
framed.
B
I
do
also
personally
have
an
issue
with
especially
e,
and
I
think
if
we
could
still
come
back,
if
there
were
certain
grants
or
loans
or
financial
assistance
programs
were,
we
would
have
to
go
through
this
same
policy
where
it
it
there
may
be
an
exception.
But
I
think
that
I
would
go
ahead
and
vote
to
support
it
with
the
with
the
removal
of
of
enf.
G
D
B
That
ends
our
consent
agenda.
It
is
4
57
and
let's
move
on
ordinances.
First
consideration
this
one
amending
chapter
114
in
the
municipal
code
regarding
traffic
changes
as
follows:
council
communication
number
21-165
is
a
code
modification
to
restrict
parking
on
both
sides
of
12th
street
from
walnut
street
to
grand
avenue
from
6
p.m.
To
6
a.m.
On
fridays,
saturday,
and
sunday
and
b,
is
the
final
consideration,
the
ordinance
above
the
waivers
requested
by
our
city
manager,
scott
sanders
and
requires
six
votes.
I
Yeah,
mr
mayor,
I'd,
I'd
like
to
to
comment
and
make
a
motion
so
for
for
as
long
as
I've
been
on
the
council,
I've
heard
a
number
of
constituent
complaints
about
what
is
happening
downtown
particularly
related
to
to
scooping
the
loop
we've
had,
I
think,
an
increase
in
dangerous
behavior
where
folks
are
speeding
where
folks
are
drag
racing.
I've
had
reports
of
motorcycles
up
on
the
curb,
it's
disruptive,
it's
dangerous
and
it's
a
huge
problem
for
what
is
becoming
an
increasingly
larger
neighborhood
and
our
residents.
I
I've
heard
from
more
and
more
folks
this
year
in
particular,
it
seems
to
have
reached
a
boiling
point.
I've
heard
more
adamantly
and
more
frequently
and
from
a
wider
variety
of
constituents
than
previously
about
a
very
broad
range
of
concerns
and
that
it
is
now
starting
to
to
bleed
into
other
times
beyond
just
the
the
weekend
evenings.
I
So
I
think
we
need
to
get
a
handle
on
the
situation.
Our
police
department
has
been
been
working
on
that
and
been
providing
additional
enforcement
resources.
I
know
they've
been
been
down
issuing
tickets
for
for
speeding
violations
for
reckless
driving
for
unmuffled
noise.
So
I'm
appreciative
of
the
efforts
to
date.
This
code
modification
is
designed
to
address
where
some
of
the
the
congregating
goes
on.
I
I
I
think
that
is
primarily
a
way
of
creating
a
safer
set
of
streets
downtown
a
more
vibrant
set
of
streets
where
pedestrians,
bikers
transit
riders,
people
driving
all
have
a
safe
experience
downtown
that's.
The
ultimate
goal
is
to
create
a
safe
experience
for
everyone,
and
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
additional
design
changes
in
the
short
term
until
until
we
can
get
connect
downtown
fully
implemented.
I
J
J
J
So
I
mean,
I
think,
a
design
change
is
probably
a
better
fit.
Do
I
think
we
need
to
spend
30
million
dollars
for
connect,
downtown
or
20
million
dollars.
I
forget
what
the
price
tag
is
going
to
be
on
that,
probably
not,
but
we
can
make
some
design
changes
quickly,
short
term.
They
would
probably
even
encourage
better
traffic
flow
through
downtown
and
less
confusing
and
would
probably
stop
most
of
the
loop
scooping
instead
of
instead
of
eliminating
parking
on
one
street.
J
I
I
think
that
I
think
that's
silly
and-
and
we
shouldn't
do
that
and
I'm
hoping
that
others
will
will
really
think
about
it.
This
is
a
band-aid
we're,
not
fixing
anything
they're
still
going
to
go
down
there
tonight
and
do
the
same
thing
or
even
when
there's
restricted
parking
on
that
street
they're,
just
not
going
to
park
on
that
street.
J
B
Steve,
if
you
can,
could
you
give
us
a
couple
ideas?
I
know
that,
and
I
don't
disagree
with
what
joe's
saying
in
in
terms
of
you
know
a
larger
fix
and
looking
at
two-way
streets.
Even
though
there
are
some
people
that
kind
of
roar
around
it
changes
the
dynamic
rather
than
have
a
multi-lane
group
going
the
same
direction.
Could
we
talk
a
little
bit
about
12th
street
and
what
we
hope
that
that
will
help,
and
where
is
the
problem
generally
that's
occurring
downtown
and
how
many
parking
places
are
we
talking
about.
P
Yep
honorable
mayor
members
of
city
council
is
steve,
nabor
city
engineer,
so
a
couple
things
yeah
this
this
this
proposal
would
restrict
the
parking
from
6
p.m,
to
6
a.m,
friday,
saturday
and
sunday
on
12th
street
between
grand
and
walnut.
I
you
know
I
it.
The
request
did
come
from
our
through
our
police
department.
Our
traffic
team
did
go
down,
coincidentally,
just
to
check
out
the
area
to
see
what's
going
on,
and
people
were
definitely
congregating
on
the
street.
P
So
we
can
see
why
the
the
police
forwarded
this
this
to
us,
but
ultimately
yeah.
We,
we
agree.
Moving
forward,
connect
downtown,
you
know
I
don't
have
a
a
more
cost
effective
solution
at
this
time.
We
have
to
keep
in
mind.
You
know
converting
from
a
one
way
to
two
way.
You
know
all
our
signal
systems
are
set
up
for
for
the
one
way.
So
there's
you
know
there
we
need
there's
that
does
present
the
challenges
of
geometric
changes.
P
We
do
already
have
in
the
works,
as
as
many
of
the
council
knows,
some
improvements,
one
coordinated
with
the
the
wras
ingersoll
sewer
run
project
on
the
west
end.
To
start
the
one
way
to
two-way
conversion,
really
looking
west
of
15th
street
and
then
we're
also
working
our
city
manager's
office
is
working
with
us
on
on
funding,
accelerating
some
improvements,
east
of
fifth
avenue.
P
J
So
steve,
let
me
ask
you
what
about
I
mean
it's,
it's
not
going
to
stop
anyone
from
turning
down
14th
or
turning
down
or
there's
another
two
way.
I
mean
it's,
it's
not
going
to
stop
anyone
by
just
restricting
the
parking
on
this
street.
What
about
if
we
take
a
two
to
three
block
area
and
make
it
a
two
to
you
know
where
we
change
the
direction,
so
it's
not
a
four
four-lane
race
track,
going
east
and
west
on
on
both
those
streets.
J
Why
couldn't
we
and
I'm
not
saying,
do
it
through
all
of
downtown,
but
through
some
of
the
core?
Why
don't
we
make
the
the
change?
And
I
understand
that
we're
gonna
have
to
buy
some
lights
and
we're
gonna
have
to
paint
you
know
some
lines
on
the
street,
but
I'm
not
saying
do
the
whole
thing,
but
if
you
wanna
fix
it
and
you
wanna
stop
people
from
racing
around
the
racetrack
of
four
lanes
on
each
side,
east
and
west.
J
That's
the
way
to
do
it
by
changing
parking,
you're,
just
hurting
downtown
businesses
down
there
I
mean
that's
all
we're
doing
by
restricting
parking.
It's
it's!
Oh
yeah!
We're
going
to
restrict
parking,
okay,
well,
where's
people
going
to
park
at
when
they
got
to
go
when
they
want
to
go
down
and
and
go
somewhere
downtown.
Q
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
and
honorable
mayor
and
council.
As
you
mentioned,
several
senior
staff
are
out
this
evening.
I
am
familiar
with
the
large
amount
of
complaints
that
have
come
in
increasingly
this
year,
although
it's
been
a
many
year
and
many
decade
problem
as
joe
has
mentioned,
this
does
seem
to
be
among
the
most
serious
areas
of
significance
this
year
this
year
and
in
the
short
term,
it
seemed
like
a
reasonable
approach
to
address
what
is
seemingly
getting
a
little
out
of
hand.
J
B
G
Thank
you
mayor
county.
Well,
so
I
think
this
is
not
your
grandfather's
loop
scooping
that
some
of
this
starts
as
early
as
five
o'clock
with
a
group
that
are
are
rolling
out
their
custom
restored
cars
and
it
lasts
into
the
evening
with
with
different
groups
of
people,
there's
also
because
of
the
sculpture
park,
that
there
are
people
that
are
on
foot
just
kind
of
congregating
hanging
out,
and
I
think
in
largely
in
this
area,
around
12th
street,
so
joe
you're
right.
This
doesn't
solve
at
all.
G
It's
just.
I
think
it's
the
first
step.
There
have
been
other
ideas
that
have
been
been
brought
forward,
including
four-way,
flashing
red
lights
at
corners,
so
that
it
would
make
every
vehicle
stop
narrowing
down
the
street
to
take
away
one
of
the
travel
lanes.
But
I
think
we
we
have
to
to
look
at
that
to
look
at.
This
is
just
the
first
of
many
things
that
we'd
like
to
to
accomplish
in
this
area.
G
G
I
The
issue
that
has
been,
I
think,
a
challenge
is
the
congregating
point,
that's
sort
of
in
the
middle
of
that
loop,
which
is
why
our
officers
recommended
this
particular
street
for
a
modification,
so
in
this
case
we're
going
with
the
recommendation
of
of
the
folks
who
are
on
the
ground
trying
to
manage
the
problem
and
the
challenges
that
they
have
that
they've
been
facing,
so
that
that's
why
I've
made
the
motion
if
it
would
get
through
today,
if
I
modified
it
to
8
p.m.
I'm
happy
to
how
about
10.
J
I
So
when,
when
you
get
that
level
of
noise,
when
you
get
that
level
of
you
know,
people
are
afraid
to
cross
the
street
when
when
this
activity
starts,
so
it
doesn't
really
matter
if
they
can
park
there
because
they're
afraid
to
cross
the
street,
because
it's
so
dangerous.
So
if
we're
not
solving
that
problem,
people
are
stopping
going
down
there.
People
are
stopping.
I
You
know
the
folks
who
live
on
the
western
side
of
the
gateway
aren't
willing
to
walk
to
bars
and
restaurants,
because
they
don't
feel
safe
doing
so.
So
we
need
to
figure
out
ways,
and
I
know
this
is
not.
This
is
not
going
to
be
a
perfect
fit
it's
and
we're
going
to
be
back
here
talking
about
what
our
next
solution
is,
but
this
gives
our
officers
a
tool
that
they
specifically
requested.
N
Thank
you,
miss
mayor,
I'm
just
bothered.
I
get
that
there's
a
problem
downtown,
but
all
neighborhoods
are
important
and
they're
all
equally
important.
I
have
been
fighting
a
problem
with
drag
racers
coming
down
from
aurora
down
to
guthrie
on
delaware.
For
two
years
I
have
met
with
the
police.
I've
met
with
the
sheriff
and
the
solution
was
was
for
those
business
owners
to
hire
off-duty
policemen
to
to
patrol
the
area.
N
Now
that
gets
very
expensive
for
business
owners
to
to
try
to
cut
down
on
this.
Last
weekend
there
were
police
calls
that
there
were
more
than
a
hundred
drag
racers
congregating
over
in
an
area
off
of
delaware.
So
I
I'm
not
sure
that
I'm
in
favor
of
just
concentrating
on
one
area.
Why
aren't
we
taking
a
look
at
all
of
our
neighborhoods,
because
every
neighborhood
is
important
and
we
have
this
problem
all
over
our
city
with
drag
racing
in
in
in
my
ward
anyway,
it's
drag
racing,
so
I
I
guess
I'm
just
bothered.
I
don't.
N
I
don't
know
why.
Why
we're
going
to
make
these
changes
for
downtown
when
I've
been
asking
for
it
in
ward
2
for
two
years
and
we
haven't
been
able
to
come
up
with
a
solution
and
I've
met
with
the
police.
I've
met
with
everybody
that
that
says
anybody
that
will
meet
I've
met
with
the
sheriff
the
police
chief.
B
J
J
I
I
believe
that
that's
that's
a
little
too
early,
but
it's
disgenerous
to
think
that
we're
going
to
solve
this
problem
and
there's
not
going
to
be
any
more
loop,
scoopers
going
down
there
at
any
night,
not
just
friday,
saturday
or
sundays,
by
eliminating
parking
on
one
street.
We
have
to
look
at
the
bigger
picture
and,
like
I
said
before,
you
don't
have
to
do
all
of
connect
downtown
that
we
can
modify
some
of
the
traffic
patterns,
so
it
stops
and
a
lot
of
it
around
the
sculpture
park
in
that
area.
J
D

B

Only
comments
concerning
each
plan
are
going
to
be
considered
germane
and
those
hearings
will
be
limited
to
a
maximum
of
five
minutes
per
hearing
not
to
exceed
one
minute
per
person.
For
the
remainder
of
the
hearings.
This
evenings,
any
interested
person
may
make
germaine
comments
it
not
to
exceed
one
minute
per
person
to
a
maximum
of
five
minutes
per
hearing.
B
As
a
reminder
on
the
construction
hearings,
only
comments
as
to
the
plans,
the
specifications
form
of
the
documents
and
the
engineers
estimate
and
low
bidder
designation
are
going
to
be
considered
germane
and
all
of
their
comments
will
be
considered.
Non-Germane
for
the
vacation
hearings.
The
only
comments
related
to
the
proposal
for
the
that
particular
property
are
going
to
be
considered
germaine
and
for
item
34.
Only
comments
related
to
the
statutory
criteria
of
the
design,
the
route
and
the
location
of
the
property
acquisition
concerning
the
project
are
going
to
be
considered.
B
So
with
that,
let's
go
ahead
and
open
up
the
hearings
and
we'll
start
with
item
30.
item

While
you
may
certainly
disagree
with
a
viewpoint,
I
want
to
remind
everyone
that
the
council's
rules
provide
that
any
comments
that
are
slanderous
result
in
that
speaker
being
barred
from
further
comment
as
a
presiding
officer
I'll
determine
whether
the
comments
are
slanders
or
not
and
a
fair
warning.
You
know
arguing
with
that
decision
of
the
presiding
officer
about
the
determination
is
not
permitted
in
doing
so
will
be
considered,
disruptive
and
result
in
the
speaker
being
barred
from
further
comment
during
any
portion
of
of
of
the
meeting.

It's
disgusting
that
council
doesn't
reign
them
in
michael
fong,
and
sean
o'neill
should
not
lead
de-escalation
training.
They
both
have
long
histories
of
brutality
and
have
cost
the
city
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
in
lawsuits.
I
would
also
like
to
add
that
the
way
people
have
to
sign
up
nearly
a
week
in
advance
to
speak
at
these.
These
meetings
is,
as
is
this
40.
Second
time
limit,
it's
obvious.
You
people
have
no
respect
for

Okay,

I
think
it's
repugnant
that
michael
fong
and
sean
o'neill
have
been
chosen
to
lead
the
escalation
trainings.
These
trainings
are
clearly
a
thinly
veiled
pr
stunt
to
get
us
to
stop
talking
about
how
violent
and
incompetent
in
a
drain
of
resources
dmpd
is
on
des
moines,
o'neal

fong
have
records
of
extremely
violent
conduct
and
their
imperialist
backgrounds
are
also
big
disqualifies
disqualifiers.
W
It's
embarrassing
that
officer
or
the
officials
have
pointed
to
that
as
something
that
makes
them
fit
to
lead
these
de-escalation
trainings
bmpd
can't
be
trusted
ahead
of
any
effort
to
reduce
their
own
violent
misconduct,
and
we
need
to
dismantle
the
set
which
disproportionately
targets
black
residents
in
des

Dana

needs
to
meet
with

discuss
real
effectiveness.

Yes,
hi
afternoon,
my

Ask
that
the
moist
city
council
not
only
remove
the
escalation
trainers,
michael
fong
and
sean
o'neill,
as
well
as
as
well
as
dismantle
the
special
enforcement
team
and
instead
meet
with
community
members
in
a
much
more
transparent
effort.
I'd
also
like
to
refer
to
an
axios
article
that
was
released
this
morning.
That
stated
county
may
also
ask
council
to
consider
suspending
or
banning
the
most
egregious
decorum
rule
breakers.
X
Sorry
decorum
rule
bakers,
it's
embarrassing
as
a
community
member
that
I
have
to
come
on
here
and
I
said
officers
with
histories
of
excessive
force
and
city
paid
out
lawsuits
not
be
on
a
de-escalation
committee,
while
the
mayoring
council
himself
is
apparently
considering
banning
community
members
from
public
meetings.
Thanks.

Hello,
my
name
is
adam
callahan,
I'm
with
the
women
people's
town
hall
and
I
use
pronouns.
Thank
you.
Everybody
who's
present
at
this
meeting,
fair
warning,
council
and
the
mayor
do
not
know
the
rules
they
created,
which
is
why
you
will
hear
county
and
seat
attorney,
probably
having
legal
side
conversations
throughout
the
meeting.
After
scott
sanders
received,
hundreds
of
phone
calls
from
the
community
about
dmpd's
selection
of
violent
de-escalation
trainers.
He
doubled
down,
citing
that
michael
fong
had
military
experience.
Sanders
didn't
have
a
rebuttal
and
didn't
disagree.
K
These
were
violent
officers,
he
didn't
even
say
they
learned
better.
He
just
said
that
it
didn't
matter
because
they
had
military
experiences.
If
these
are
really
the
best
dmp
has
to
offer,
that's
frankly,
embarrassing
and
a
combination
on
the
whole
dmpd
and
the
whole
city,
scots
paid
over
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
isn't
elected
and
works
for
us
scott's,
also
putting
his
all.
That's
actually
happening.

unelected

We
are
sick
of
city

refusing
to
step
up
and
lead,
leaving
the
leadership
to

Hey
I'm
on
here
to
speak
out
against
sean
o'neill
and
mike
fong
in
the
violin
and
racist
one
police
department.
You
all
need
to
do
your
jobs
and
act
on
this.
It's
completely
ridiculous
that
you
think
it's
appropriate
for
violent
police
officers
to
be
leading
a
de-escalation
training.
All
the
city
council
members
are
jokes:
they
need
to
lose
their
job
and
joe

If
you're
scared
of

just
want
to

B
T
Members
of
city
council,
I
hope
you
hope
you
would
agree
that
it's
important
for
our
police
officers
to
become
those
who
keep
peace.
In
my
opinion,
this
requires
both
a
different
mindset
and
skill
set
than
those
who
would
merely
enforce
the
law
and
escalate
order
and
addressing
concerns
that
I
and
others
have
to
the
appointment
of
officer
fong
as
one
of
the
trainers
for
the
police
department's
de-escalation
training.

I
use
she
her

I'm
here
asking
for
city
council
to
do
the
bare
minimum
to
remove
michael
fong
and
shane
o'neill
from
leading
the
de-escalation
training.
It
literally
should
be
common
sense.
An
officer
with
multiple
reports
of
violence
abuse
should
not
be
leading
and
should
not
be
an
officer.
City
council
sits
silence
on
this,
and
that
is
injustice.
It
condones
violence
into
our
communities.
AA

We
already
know
that
de-escalation
training
is
the
absolute
bare
minimum
that
can
be
done
to
help
solve
issues
with
law
enforcement,
and
it
should
be
mandatory
that
this
training
be
led
by
officers
with
no
record.
I
also
would
like
to
echo
cci's
demands
that
chief
winger
meet
with
community
members
to
begin
discussing.
Public
safety
solutions
dmpd
as
a
whole
is
not
representative
of
our
community
and
they
need
to
be
taking
the
proper
steps
to
listen
to
community
members
perspectives.
So
I
would
ask
you
all
to
do
your
job
and
please.

her

attacking

choking

That's
how
extremely
violent
these
tactics
are,
and
they're
used
by
des

police
on
a
regular
basis.
So
what
does
council
do?
Entrust
michael
fong
to
lead
the
escalation
trains
he
pepper,
sprayed
and
beat
a
man
then
slammed
his
face
into
the
ground,
costing
taxpayers
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars.
He
was
also
suspended
for
beating
a
handcuffed
person.
It's
ridiculous
to
think
two
hours
of
training
will
reign
in

brutality.
AC
U
Getty,
the
community
is
well
aware
that
the
chief
of
police
is
more
open
to
meeting
with
groups
outside
of
des
moines
than
he
is
to
meet
with
the
taxpayers
who
pay
his
salary.
The
city
manager
is
also
been
proven
to
be
tone
deaf
when
citizens
come
when
it
comes
to
community
questions
about
policing,
thus,
city,
council
members,
we
must
hold
you
accountable
to
address
the
concerns
of
des
moines
residents.
U
These
appointments
by
wingert
and
sanders
are
an
affront
to
the
spirit
immediately
the
letter
of
the
racial
profiling
ordinance,
and
we
demand
that
you
take
appropriate
action
to
address
the
concerns
of
the
community
and
remove
these
two
offices
from
the
de-escalation
training
program.
This
is
something
it
must
be
done
since
they've
already
cost
the

you've
proved
our
point
that
the

is
guilty

needs
to
be
defunded,

why
is
it
that

You
have
a

the

to
work
for
us.
The
people
we've
been
here
every

calling
on
you
to
hold

accountable,

sir

the

enacted
last
year
was
a
beginning.
However,
much
remains
to
improve

strengthen
it
going

The

We
asked

we

Okay,
michael
fong
uses
excessive
and
violent
actions.
There
appears
no
effort
on
his
part
to
de-escalate
just
the
opposite.
This
is
not
the
only
charge
against
mr
fong.
I
do
not
know
him.
I
have
never
met
him.
Perhaps
he
has
had
a
complete
change
of
heart
and
character
since
2018
and
no
longer
believes
in
violence
as
an
answer
to

I
hope
this
is
true,

even
if
it
is,
the

is
the
absolute

All
right,
hello,
clownsell,
mayor,
clowney,
gatto,
it's
clear
to
me
that
you
never
listen
to
what
the
public
has
to
say
and
don't
even
want
to
hear
us.
Based
on
how
you
treat
these
meetings
and
the
new
information.
We
got
that
you
want
to
completely
ban
people
from
speaking
and
attending
meetings
altogether,
but
there's
a
public
call
that
you
need
to
answer
to
fix
this
de-escalation
training.
AL
The
best
de-escalation
training
you
could
do
is
obviously
firing
all
the
officers
you
have,
since
none
of
them
can
seem
to
resist
beating
defenseless
people
they're
supposed
to
be
protecting
and
serving.
You
have
the
power
to
withhold
funds
from
the
police
until
they
stop
attacking
your
constituents,
or
at
least
at
the
very
least,
make
them
meet
with
the
public.
You
have
the
power,
stopping
babies
and
use
it.

just
like
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
everyone
complaining
because
they
are
not
being
listened
to

first
place.
If
everyone
might
or
people
may
listen
to
you,
you
are
a
little
more
respectful
and
mature.
Instead
of
acting
like
a
bunch
of
little
children,
and
you
may
also
quit
demanding
things
and
ask
for
things
nicely,
children
demand
other
people
know
how
to
talk
to
people.

tremendous

of
power,

with

must
come
responsibility

accountability.
Des

has
faced
the
problem
of
state
violence
from

for
years,
but
it
came
to
light
in
a
new
way.
Last

needs
to
meet
with

to
discuss

implement
real
solutions
for

request
the
removal
of
michael

from
the
dmpd
de-escalation
training
program.
I'm
demanding
this
because
you
work
for
us
and
that
both
individuals
have
documented
incidents
of
illegal
and
violent
behavior
against
des
moines
residents.
This
clearly
shows
that
they
are
unable
or
worse
unwilling
to
appropriately
perform
their
duties
and
as
officers,
I
cannot
trust
them
to
train
others.
I
demand
the
council
to
request
the
immediate
removal
of
fong

as
dmpd.

Hello,

seriously
consider
the
requests
that

are
making
tonight
to
remove

De-Escalation
training
is
about
improving
the
response
of
officers
to
crisis
situations
so
that
the
public
and
the
officers
are
safer,
and
this
kind
of
of
training
requires
visionary
leadership.
People
have
to
be
accountable,
empathetic,
credible
and
inspirational,
and
nothing
that
I
have
heard
about
these
officers.

trainers,
disband
the
special

team

fire
dana

scott

I
would
also
like
to
see

discuss
using
the

surplus
from
our
snow
removal
fund
this
year
to
work
with

to
make

next

AF
Wigan
has
told
you
time
and
time
again
that
these
are
his
best
men.
That
means
that
the
city's
quote
unquote
best
cops
have
a
history
of
violence
that
very
clearly
illustrates
the
culture
of
dmpd,
as
well
as
the
leadership
of
winger
and
sanders.
This
is
going
to
be
your
legacy
under
this
leadership.
Violent
cops
will
continue
to
get
promotions
and
will
be
forced
to
waste
millions
on
lawsuits.
Having
cops
teach
de-escalation
training
is
like
having
pigs.
Teach

am
calling
for
the
removal
of
de-escalation
trainers,
michael
fong
and
sean

Many
citizens
have
already
expressed
great
concern
over
this,
but
the
point
needs
to
be
reiterated
that
if
a
judge
can
find
fong
guilty
of
excessive
force,
then
it
seems
pretty
simple
to
understand
that
this
would
be
a
dangerous
choice
to
move
forward
with.
We
need
chief
winger
to
connect
with
the
community
to
come
up
with
better
public
safety
options.
It
seems
counterintuitive
to
have
racist,
sexist,
violent
police,
leading
our
public
safety.
AR

Yes,
okay,
india,
mikoshi
here,
it's
pretty
simple,
you
know
cci's
the
man's
removed
michael
fong
and
sean
o'neill
from
dmpd's
the
escalation
training,
but
here's
the
thing
cci
makes
demands
and
you
ignore
them
or
barely
meet
them.
Blm
and
people's
town
hall
make
demands,
and
you
set
up
new
rules
to
silence
us,
I'm
personally
sick
of
making
demands
to
you.
It's
clear
that
any
move
that
weakens
your
violent,
oppressive
hold
on
the
people
of
des
moines
is
not
one
you're
going
to
make
you
employ
violent
and
aggressive

passed

was
a
pr
stunt,
dana

with
the
approval
of
you
all
hand-picked
violent
offenders,
to
lead
the
training
and
not
only
do
officers,
fong

need
to
be
fired,
but
we
need
the
city
council
to
defund
the
racist
police
department

ban
pretextual
stops.

can't
even
trust
the
mpd

select

for

collision
training
for

force.
They
haven't
proved

treating

humanely,
and
it
doesn't
really
comfort
me
to
know
that
they
served
in

makes
me
think
they're
actually
more
inclined
to
violent
tactics
on
the
job.
A

other
folks
have
echoed
that,
but
I
want
to
speak
specifically
about
the.

We
need
you
as
city

to
lead
by
taking
the
initiative
to
take
back
control
of
who
provides
the
escalation,
training
and
then
outsource
it.
It's
