B
And
I
know
that
there's
warnings
that
have
gone
out-
and
I
know
that
everybody's
working
to
try
to
keep
anybody
that
is
having
trouble
with
the
warming,
sheltered
included
or
someplace
to
there.
There
are
solutions
to
that
and
we
have
released
those.
So
I
think
our
staff
for
working
on
that
and
I
think
it's
important.
D
A
B
C
B
Any
opposition
hearing
none
items
passed
item
three
is
approving
the
consent
agenda
tonight.
Those
are
items
three
through
45.
generally.
These
are
routine
items
and
they're
enacted
as
one
vote
without
separate
discussion.
Unless
someone,
the
council
or
the
public
request,
an
item
to
be
removed
and
considered
separately,
and
then
that
request
is
considered
by
the
council
as
a
whole.
B
B
H
Hi,
I
wanted
to
ask
you
to
remove
item
45..
This
was
on
the
last
agenda.
I
like
talking
about
rezoning
a
flood
district
to
end
neighborhood
2b,
and
I
know
that
county.
You
specifically
had
mentioned
that
you
wanted
to
make
sure
that
all
the
proper
precautions
were
taking
place.
I
wanted
to
know
what
the
update
on
that
was
so
I'd
like
it
pulled
from
the
consent
agenda
just
so,
we
can
make
sure
that
that's
what's
happening
all
right
item
45
has
been
requested.
I
I
Hello,
my
name
is
adam
callanan.
Is
he
I
would
like
to
request
item
18i
removed
because
for
some
reason
in
the
agenda
there
was
no
information
about
the
actual
appointees,
which
seemed
unusual,
and
we
have
word
that
one
of
the
appointees
might
be
ed
fallon,
who
has
been
pushed
out
of
several
organizations
for
allegations
of
sexual
harassment,
so
yeah
we'd
like
that
pulled
so
we
can
discuss
it.
C
B
J
Yeah,
I
would
like
item
32
removed
officer.
Brian
minahan
has
been
accused
and
found
to
have
racially
profiled
a
number
of
residents
in
des
moines
over
the
last
few
years
and
also
was
involved
in
a
high
speed
chase
that
resulted
in
the
death
of
the
bystander
that
he
should
not
have
started.
It
shouldn't
be
on
our
police
force
anymore.
So
I
don't
think
it's
right
that
the
that
the
des
moines
city
council
supports
him
with
paying
for
that
legal
counsel,
so
yeah
and
like
32
removed.
K
Hi,
this
is
pastor
emily,
my
pronouns.
Are
they
them
theirs?
I
would
like
number
33
moved
it's
unclear
to
me
what
this
is,
but
if
this
is
regarding
the
class
action
suit
for
against
the
city
because
of
the
police
brutality
last
summer,
I
would
like
it
to
be
removed
as
someone
who
was
a
victim
of
the
police
brutality
and
unjust
arrest.
This
is
a
bizarre
thing
to
me
that
we
would
be
continuing
to
seek
to
defend,
rather
than
intentionally
being
proactive
in
making
amends
and
removing
the
charges.
B
B
L
B
M
Yes,
I
would
like
item
number
32
to
be
pulled
echoing
luke's
comments
officer,
brian
minahan
is
a
violent
and
racist
police
officer
who
should
not
be
on
our
force.
We
should
not
be
voting
to
pay
money
to
retain
council
to
represent
him.
Please
remove
that
from
the
consent
agenda.
It
needs
to
be
discussed.
B
B
D
N
Your
honor,
I
I
don't
think
we
needed
to
pull
any
of
those
items,
but
you
know
council
did
get
an
update
on
item
45,
the
floodplain
piece
from
the
city
engineer-
and
I
know
since
we
talked
about
it
at
the
last
meeting-
and
there
was
a
request
on
that.
I
wouldn't
be
opposed
to
taking
a
minute
or
two
to
hear
from
the
city
engineers
so
that
the
public
can
get
the
same
update
that
we
did
on
on
the
measures
being
met
from
a
flood
plain.
B
B
G
E
G
B
Okay:
let's
go
ahead,
we'll
start
with
item
17.
item.
17
is
a,
I
believe:
a
land
property
transaction
17
is
authorization
of
receiver,
the
acquisition
of
the
necessary
property
interest
for
the
34th
street
and
lido
avenue
intersection
improvements,
project
council,
communication,
number
21.053,
mr
gray,.
E
Thank
you
mayor
this
I'll
be
quick.
It
was
brought
up
at
the
b
rail
neighborhood
association
meeting
last
thursday,
and
the
dna
president
want
to
make
sure
you
thank
engineering
for
looking
into
this.
As
many
of
you
know,
it
was
about
a
year
ago
that
we
had
a
couple
of
accidents
that
took
out
the
big
fence
over
there
as
you
bend
over
from
urbandale
avenue
on
toledo
and
we're
glad
they
were
glad
to
see
that
we
finally
hopped
on
it.
So
I'm
going
to
move
item
17.
B
B
Okay
item
23:
it's
a
setting,
a
data
hearing
which
is
on
the
request
from
jc
am
group
llc,
which
is
the
owner
to
amend
the
plan
dsm
creating
our
tomorrow
future
land
use
classification
and
a
rezoned
property
located
at
1503
fifth
avenue
from
n5
neighborhood
district
to
n5-2
neighborhood,
to
allow
the
property
to
be
converted
to
a
two
household
use
duplex,
and
that
hearing
will
be
heard
february.
22Nd
of
21.,
mr
gray,.
E
E
I
think
we'd
like
to
take
another
talk
at
this
and
make
sure
that
we're
going
the
right
way
because
it's
all
single-family
dwelling
around
there
now
so
I'd
like
to
instead
of
having
the
hearing
on
the
22nd,
maybe
move
it
to
march
8th.
So
we
can
get
all
the
information
and
talk
to
city
staff.
If
that
would
make.
B
Q
R
B
R
Mayor
county
members
of
the
council,
michael
ludwig,
deputy
director
of
development
services,
yeah,
the
only
thing
is
the
notice
that
gets
advertised
in
the
paper.
So
that's
a
scheduled
advertisement.
We
would
have
to
cancel
that
and
reschedule
it
for
no
later
than
I'm
sorry,
no
more
than
I
think
it's
4
and
20
on
public
hearing
notices.
So
we
would
have
to
delay
that
that
order
that
we
placed
with
the
with
the
paper
for
the
publishing
of
the
notice.
R
A
B
D
B
S
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and,
and
I
will
move
item
29.
I
just
wanted
to
add
a
couple
of
thoughts
that
the
the
amendments
that
are
recommended
in
this
in
the
zoning
ordinance
are
great
and
they're
very
pleased
with
the
changes
that
I
see.
I
thank
scott
sanders
who
I've
talked
to
several
times
regarding
this
and
city
staff
for
working
on
it.
I
want
to
proceed
with
the
hearing,
but
I
really
would
like
to
go
a
step
further
and
would
like
us
to
have
continued
conversations
about
changing
this
entire
street
back
to
residential.
S
Just
since
august
we've
had
a
fire
and
the
person
was
held
up
getting
permits.
He
wanted
to
add
on
to
his
house
and
was
told
he
couldn't
we
had
another
person
who
lost
their
garage
in
the
durade
show
and
had
to
go
through
plan
and
zoning
to
get
the
zoning
change,
so
she
could
build
a
garage
all
at
great
expense
to
our
residents.
S
Now
we
have
another
home,
it's
had
at
least
I'm
told
from
two
different
lenders
that
there's
been
at
least
three
offers
made
on
a
home
and
what's
holding
it
up,
is
the
industrial
zoning
of
this
house.
So
I
I
this
will
this
will
help
and
this
will
make
it
so
lenders
will
loan
money,
but
I
really
would
like
us
to
continue
that
conversation
about
changing
that
zoning
back
to
residential,
and
with
that
I
will
move
item
29.
F
Comment
I
was
just
going
to
bring
up.
Are
there
you
know,
I
know
once
we
change
the
zoning.
Are
there
other
areas
within
the
city
that
are
having
some
similar
situations
that
we
might
want
to
have
more
conversations,
so
I
just
bring
that
up
nothing
against
the
motion
or
anything,
but
just
for
future
reference.
S
F
D
B
P
Thank
you,
honorable
mayor
members
of
city
council.
This
is
steve,
neighbor
city
engineer,
I'd
like
to
point
out
and
point
out
that
please
note
the
proposed
ordinance
amending
the
zoning
map
to
rezone
this
property
at
3.
900
southeast
34th
street
includes
the
three
key
conditions.
One
is
any
site.
Modification
filling
and
permitting,
and
development
must
have
an
approved
conditional
letter
of
map
revision
from
the
federal
government
from
fema.
P
B
Q
B
B
Okay,
just
that
was
just
an
update
for
those
in
the
audience
looking
and
watching.
That
item
has
already
passed,
but
we've,
given
you
a
clarification
on
it,
so
thanks
steve
for
doing
that.
That
ends
our
consent
agenda
it.
Let's
turn
to
item
46,
which
is
ordinances.
First
consideration
amending
chapter
26-904
and
26-905
related
to
revised
deadlines
for
submittal
of
energy
and
water,
use,
benchmarking
reports
and
exemptions.
B
N
Josh
yeah.
Well
I
I'll
move
item
46
and
46a
this.
For
those
wanting
to
know
I
mean
this
is
essentially
based
on
staff
recommendations
as
they've
worked
to
implement
the
program
and
work
with
partners
at
mid-american
and
des
moines
water
works
in
terms
of
when
data
is
made
available
in
aggregate
to
to
the
building
owners.
D
B
B
B
T
U
Okay,
thank
you,
mr
mayor
city,
council
members.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
address
a
few
points
from
this
report,
which
I
know
you
have
received,
and
I
hope
you
have
read
or
will
read.
As
you
know,
there
are
nine
members
of
the
stormwater
infrastructure
advisory
committee
from
all
four
awards
all
are
represented.
U
U
There's
been
a
lot
to
learn
and
we've
probably
learned
more
than
we
ever
wanted
to
about.
Stormwater
we've
had
very
good
information
from
staff,
in
particular
from
patrick
bean
who's.
Our
coordinator
and
also
our
prime
source
of
information,
we've
asked
questions
and
we
have
identified
some
issues
along
the
way.
We've
also
made
suggestions
about
the
process
of
proceeding
on
this
report.
U
Working
on
a
survey
which
will
be
forthcoming
within
the
next
couple
three
weeks,
there
will
be
more
information
about
this.
I
can't
emphasize
enough
that
anyone
and
everyone
who
has
had
storm
water
problems
or
storm
water
flooding
needs
to
complete
this
survey.
It
will
be
the
basis
for
our
master
plan
and
it
will
help
the
committee
and
cdm
smith
prepare
this
master
plan
and
get
things
done
in
a
timely
manner.
U
We
it's
estimated
that
our
master
plan
recommendations
will
take
several
years
to
complete
that
they
will
include
commitment.
I've
mentioned
this
before,
but
they
will
require
commitment
from
both
the
current
staff
and
council
members
and
also
future
councils
and
staff,
and
they
will
prevent
a
funding
challenge
which
we're
all
aware
of
our
committee
members
have
indicated
a
willingness
to
help
explore
and
pursue
funding
options.
Should
it
be
needed
so
that
these
projects
can
be
completed
in
a
timely
manner?
U
We
use
any
media
opportunities
that
are
possible
to
let
the
community
know
what
we're
doing
and
also
to
celebrate
when
we
finish
things,
because
we
have
a
commitment
to
using
the
stormwater
taxes
and
also
the
local
option,
taxes
as
we
have
promised,
they
would
be
used,
and
I
think
this
is
really
good
pr
for
the
city.
On
behalf
of
the
committee,
we
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
serve
on
this
committee.
We
feel
it's
a
critical
issue
for
the
city's
future
and
we
do.
Thank
you
any
questions.
F
F
To
thank
gloria
to
the
mayor
for
her
perseverance
and
bringing
this
to
a
higher
level
for
all
of
us.
Her
whole
group,
she
and
jenny,
I
think,
brought
total
awareness
to
all
of
us
on
what
we
need
to
do
and
step
up
to
make
it
better
for
our
citizens
so
that
they
don't
have
the
water
issues
that
we've
had
in
the
past.
So
I
appreciate
all
the
work
and
time
they've
put
into
it.
E
B
All
right,
it's
503.
We
need
to
move
to
the
hearing
items.
I
want
to
make
a
couple
of
comments.
First,
you
know
for
the
hearings
tonight.
We
don't
have
any
zoning
items
tonight,
so
there
are
several
vacation
hearings
and
a
maximum
tax
levy,
hearing
and
other
hearing
items.
So
for
the
hearings
this
evening,
the
public
may
raise
your
hands
immediately
upon
me.
Reading
the
item
for
comment
that
are
germane
to
that
item.
B
Only
for
the
maximum
property
levy,
hearing
I'll
we'll
see
how
it
goes,
we're
going
to
allow
a
minute
and
a
half
per
speaker
for
anyone
who
would
like
to
speak
on
that
we'd.
Like
the
hearing
to
conclude
as
we
move
along
in
the
comments
we
want
to
be
non-repetitive
and
we
want
them
to
be
germaine
and
if
they
are
not
why
we're
gonna
have
to
cut
those
those
speakers
off
and
this
a
lot.
B
But
we
appreciate
your
understanding
so
for
the
remainder
of
the
hearings
this
evening,
any
interested
person
may
make
germaine
comments
that
not
to
exceed
one
minute
per
person
on
those
to
a
maximum
of
five
minutes
for
per
hearing
the.
As
a
reminder
on
the
construction
hearings,
only
comments
as
to
the
plans
the
specifications
in
the
form
of
the
documents,
all
other
comments
will
be
considered
non-germane
and
for
the
lease
in
vacation
hearings.
B
Only
comments
related
to
the
proposal
for
the
particular
property
will
be
considered
jermaine.
So
thank
you
for
your
understanding
on
that,
and
I
want
to
remind
all
the
members
of
the
public
that
this
council
business
meeting
and
that
the
council
will,
you
know,
conduct
our
meetings
as
efficiently
as
we
can
in
an
orderly
manner.
B
is
on
a
city-initiated
request
to
vacate
a
portion
of
raccoon
street
and
alley
right
away
located
between
southeast
4th
street
and
southeast
5th
street
north
of
east
martin
luther
king
junior
parkway.
A
is
the
first
consideration.
The
ordinance
above
b
is
the
final
consideration.
The
arts
above
the
waiver,
is
requested
by
philip
weinerman
our
real
estate
division
manager
and
requires
six
votes.
B
V
D
B
All
right
item
51
is
on
a
vacation,
the
east-west
alley,
right
away
located
in
the
black
bounded
by
1st
street
oxford
street
sheridan
avenue
and
arthur
avenue
and
convinced
to
glacier
holdings
llc
for
three
thousand
six
hundred
dollars.
A
is
the
first
consideration.
The
ordinance
above
b
is
the
final
consideration,
the
ordinance.
Above
again,
the
waiver
is
requested
by
phil
wagoman,
a
real
estate
division
manager
and
requires
six
votes.
S
Yes,
your
honor,
I
would
make
a
motion
to
pass
51
a
and
b,
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
phil
wegman,
who
worked
with
this
business
owner,
to
coordinate
this,
to
bring
it
to
make
it
happen,
and
I'd
shout
out
to
the
to
the
business
owner.
That's
purchasing
this
land
he's
not
going
to
use
it
for
anything.
He
simply
is
is
purchasing
it,
so
he
can
make
it
look
better
right.
Now,
it's
pretty
cluttered
and
it's
not
real,
pretty
and
he's
just
doing
it
to
enhance
the
neighborhood.
G
G
Her
kids
are
all
grown
and
gone,
and
I
believe
that's
probably
part
of
the
reason
that
this
lease
agreement
is
going
to
be
changed
and
because
they
really
don't
have
anyone
to
volunteer
like
lana
did
but
we'll
let
ben
jump
in,
but
lana
needs
to
be
thanked
for
her
years
of
service
of
taking
care
of
that
park.
Basically,
since
it's
been
open.
T
Mayor
county
members
of
des
moines,
city,
council,
ben
page
parks
and
recreation
director
that
is
correct
for
the
last
three
years,
they've
struggled
to
find
the
volunteers.
It
takes
to
run
that
facility
and
they've
come
to
the
city
asking
to
be
out
of
their
agreement.
They've
also
volunteered
to
pay
the
balance
of
what
they
could
afford
to
pay,
which
is
short
of
their
normal
lease
amendment.
T
Those
funds
will
be
used
to
restart
up,
and
the
city
will
offer
youth
sports
baseball
there
for
execs,
and
that
will
match
up
with
our
other
youth
sports
program
and
I'd
like
to
take
a
quick
minute
to
advertise.
The
thanks.
We
have
for
our
council
that
we
have
a
five
dollar
youth
sports
program
that
was
not
offered
at
this
site
before
that
will
be
now
new
with
our
other
youth
sports.
D
D
B
Item
53
is
to
adopt
a
resolution
establishing
the
total
maximum
property
tax
dollars
certified
for
levy
for
fiscal
year
ending
june
30
of
2022.
It
requires
five
affirmative
votes.
Scott.
Do
you
quickly
want
to
touch
on
what
we're
doing
this
is
not
the
budget
exactly
itself,
it's
just
setting
the
maximum
property
tax
dollars.
Q
Yeah,
that
is
correct
mayor.
This
is
the
only
the
second
cycle
that
we've
we've
used,
this
process
required
by
the
state,
and
it
does
simply
set
the
property
tax
rate
maximum,
which
is,
in
our
total
rate,
going
to
be
essentially
flat.
It
will
lower
to
the
nearest
penny
rounding
downwards,
but
essentially
we're
keeping
our
total
tax
rate
the
same
and.
H
So
as
this
is
not
you
know
like
approving
the
budget
right
now,
you
guys
are
in
discussions
for
that.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
this
is
you
know.
The
schedule
that
you
guys
have
for
approving
the
budget
doesn't
leave
a
lot
of
room
for
any
kind
of
response
to
public
comment,
because
you
have
to
have
it
in
by
march
31st
and
you
guys
are
approving
the
budget
on
march
8th,
so
you
guys
only
have
a
chance
to
vote
no
on
it.
H
This
is
something
you
basically
have
to
vote,
yes
on
or
just
run
into
the
problem
of
not
having
enough
like
not
having
a
budget
on
march
31st.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
fact
that
public
comment
wasn't
really
taken
at
the
december
meeting.
It
was
just
basically
a
slideshow
talking
about
what
the
budget
process
is,
so
you
haven't
gotten
any
public
comment
and
you're
not
really
able
to
respond
to
public
comment.
That's
happening
in
this
hearing
or
in
the
hearing
on
on
march
8th.
H
So
I
want
to
acknowledge
this
is
essentially
just
staff
and
council
deciding
what
the
budget
is
going
to
be
and
continuing
increasing
the
budgeted
rate
that
we
can't
pay
for
the
police
budget
specifically.
So
those
are
my
concerns.
I'm
also
just
concerned
about
the
increases
in
police
pay,
and
I
would
like
you
by
city
fund
dmpd,
in
the
way
that
people
have
been
asking
for.
B
Thank
you.
I
will
say
that
any
comments
that
you
might
have
and
we'll
record
your
comments
for
all
your
comments
from
this
evening,
but
we
did
receive
some
the
other
day
after
our
budget
hearing
all
day
hearing
with
the
council
going
over
various
departments,
and
we
have
responded
to
the
questions
that
we
got
and
we'll
continue
to
do
so
as
we
move
forward.
So,
let's
move
on
to
parlay
voldrich.
L
B
I
I
don't
think
it's
taking
that
into
account.
I
see
why.
Last
year
we
probably
weren't
prepared
for
a
pandemic,
but
this
year
we
don't
really
have
an
excuse
for
that,
and
it's
just
like.
I
said
it
does
not
feel
realistic.
It
also
doesn't
have
any
reaction
to
the
climate
chaos
that
we
saw
last
year
with
the
ratio
storm.
I
don't
really
see
anything
in
the
budget
that
you
know
is
going
towards
taking
like
mitigation
efforts
or
anything
around
that
and
yeah
to
me
it
just.
I
W
You
know
going
to
things
that
the
people
who
live
in
these
properties
and
pay
the
taxes
actually
want,
and
I
wanted
to
say
echoing
what
indira
said
about
the
not
being
able
to
keep
up
with
the
prices
of
paying
for
the
police,
with
the
needing
to
raise
the
tax
levy.
A
good
way
to
not
need
to
do
that.
W
B
M
Hey,
I
just
wanted
to
echo
what
everyone
else
said
and
uplift
those
previous
comments.
Currently
the
des
moines
police
department
is
bankrupting
our
city,
which
does
relate
to
the
levy
tax,
so
yeah.
I
just
wanted
to
say
we
should
be
spending
our
dollars,
our
tax
money,
helping
people,
not
I'm
imprisoning
them
and
beating
them
up
so
yeah
just
wanted
to
echo
everyone's
comments.
B
B
All
right,

A
B
D
Q
L
I
was
a
little
like
confused
about
the
price
of
this
option,
but
honestly,
it
seems
like
a
very
small
price
to
pay
to
making
a
neighborhoods
accessible,
especially
when
we
consider
how
much
money
we're
still
putting
into
the
police
budget.
So
just
thinking
about
uplifting
other
comments
about
defunding
the
police,
I'm
curious
what's
possible
for
des
moines.
If
we
actually
did.
C
Yeah,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
sorry,
I'm
walking
home
right
now.
I
just
wanted
to
chime
in
here
and
say:
I'm
really
supportive
of
expanding
sidewalk
access,
because
that
is
a
huge
issue
for
a
lot
of
people
who
don't
have
cars,
I'm
one
of
them.
I
take
the
bus
every
day
and
I
know
how
terrible
some
sidewalks
are
in
our
neighborhood,
particularly
in
the
south
side,
particularly
on
the
east
side,
where
people
you
know
generally
are
receiving
less
services
in
general,
not
just
sidewalks,
so
yeah.
C
I'm
supportive
of
this
I'd
like
to
see
an
even
bigger
investment,
because,
like
this
right
here,
sidewalks
is
a
public
safety
issue.
This
is
what
allows
people
to
get
to
the
grocery
store
and
to
the
doctor
and
stuff
like
that,
and
if
we're
spending
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
on
police
and
bullets
and
stuff
and
yes
teargas
for
keeping
the
money
on
sidewalks,
so
people
can
leave
their
homes
and.
A
B
X
Okay,
sorry,
my
name
is
denver.
This
is
something
that
I
see,
and
I
actually
like
am
like
amazing.
Well,
we're
gonna
get
some
sidewalks
and
especially
in
the
south
side,
where
we
need
it
the
most.
I
want
us
to
like
put
into
consideration
that
making
sidewalks
accessible
is
amazing,
but
during
the
winter
they
need
to
be
accessible
for
bus
riders.
For
like
the
person
that
said
before
me,
that
people
rely
on
sidewalks
to
get
to
the
hospital
to
get
to
the
grocery
store
and
pick
up
their
medication
and
everything.
X
M
Right,
yes,
I
actually
really
want
to
uplift
denver's
comments
and
casey's
before
that
I
actually
was
gonna,
say
the
same
thing
as
denver.
You
know,
because
I
do
support
this
and
I
do
support
us
getting
more
accessible,
sidewalks
in
our
neighborhoods,
but
yeah
in
the
wintertime.
The
snow
gets,
pushed
up.
Bus
stops,
get
blocked
actually
there's
a
new
mutual
aid
project
that
was
started
just
by
community
members
to
shovel
out
bus
stops
just
to
make
them
more
accessible
for
other
community
members.
M
So
I
think
the
city
should
use
some
resources
to
maybe
look
into
that
and
hire
some
folks
actually
get
that
job
done,
so
it
doesn't
have
to
be
volunteer
led
by
people
in
the
community.
Yeah
sidewalks
are
great.
We
should
stop
spending
money
on
police.
We
should
spend
more
money
on
sidewalks
and
accessibility
for
our
city.
Thank
you.
B
C
G
Absolutely
absolutely
mayor:
first
off
I
just
I
want
to
thank
our
city
engineering.
This
has
been
a
project
that
we've
worked
together
for
two
years
for
safe
routes
to
school,
especially
around
house
school.
Where
there's
never
been
any
sidewalks,
and
you
know
I
I
just
appreciate
their
hard
work
and
as
we're
moving
forward
just
for
our
speakers
as
we
move
forward.
G
A
B
N
Yeah,
I'm
happy
to
move
item
56
and
56a.
This
is
a
continuation
of
the
ingersoll
streetscape
project,
which
is
making
the
ingersoll
corridor
more
accessible
and
safer
for
pedestrians
and
bikers
and
making
it
a
a
better
better
corridor,
and
it's
a
great
investment
and
the
businesses
have
been
happy
with
it
and-
and
I
think
the
initial
stage
is
going
well
glad
to
see
it
continue
to
move
on
so
happy
to
move
this
item.
D
B
B
B
N
Yeah,
mr
mayor,
if
I,
if
I
may-
and
I
made
some
of
these
comments
at
our
work
session
this
morning,
but
but
think
it's
worthwhile
to
just
put
put
this
in
context
again
at
the
meeting
you
know
I.
I
think
this
is
a
a
great
project
and
this
is
really
about
redeveloping
the
the
daiko
site,
which
has
been
an
ongoing
problem
for
for
decades.
N
Some
of
what
we've
just
been
trying
to
accomplish
is
simply
to
figure
out
how
to
take
the
first
step
in
getting
this
site
cleaned
up
and
the
blighted
buildings
torn
down,
so
that
the
the
eyesore
would
be
removed.
From
the
entry
point
to
our
downtown
and
we've
we've
made
some
good
progress
on
that
front.
I
saw
that
region,
seven
of
the
epa
put
out
a
press
release
on
the
consent
decree
being
approved
just
this
afternoon.
N
N
There's
going
to
be
a
mix
of
retail
and
office
and
residential,
as
well
as
the
the
stadium
project
and
one
of
the
things
that
is
great
about,
and
this
is
going
to
be
covered
in
in
a
later
agenda
item.
But
I'll
talk
about
it.
Now.
The
development
includes
a
number
of
the
best
practices
that
we've
been,
including
in
our
development
projects
in
recent
years.
So
it
includes
working
with
the
mid-american
new
construction
project
to
implement
energy
efficiency
into
all
of
the
projects
that
are
part
of
the
stadium
district.
N
It
includes
requirements
to
integrate,
affordable
housing
with
10
of
all
of
the
housing
in
the
project
being
affordable
at
the
eighty
percent
ami
and
looking
at
another
five
percent
affordable
at
the
sixty
percent
level.
It
includes
ev
charging
infrastructure
and
it
also
is
an
opportunity
to
help
us
solve
a
challenge
that
we've
grown
into
downtown
with
the
increasing
frequency
of
community
festivals
in
the
western
gateway
area.
N
Those
festivals
are
are
great
and
and
they're
great
to
highlight,
and
it's
a
great
part
of
what
what
makes
our
community
special
and
strong,
but
having
so
many
festivals,
shut
down.
The
western
gateway
area
has
been
disruptive
for
what
has
become
a
growing
businesses
and
restaurants
in
that
area,
as
well
as
the
the
dart
service
that
so
many
routes
go
through
that
area
and
have
to
figure
out
how
to
re
reroute
when
we
have
host
those
festivals.
N
So
I
think
this
is
a
great
project
and
a
great
application,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
staff.
Who've
worked
really
hard
on
this
naomi
aaron
olson
douglas
matt
anderson
and
the
entire
economic
development
team,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
the
folks
at
kraus
group
for
for
bringing
this
project
forward
for
bringing
professional
soccer
at
the
usl
level
to
des
moines
and
a
broader
vision
to
this
district.
N
B
B
E
S
E
E
They
have
done
a
really
a
great
job
of
re-imagining
that
site
to
know
that
retail
is
not
going
to
be
the
future
in
these
malls,
but
to
make
them
entertainment,
districts
and
so
working
with
our
friends
over
at
urbandale
we're
going
to
have
a
good,
comprehensive
site
plan.
That's
going
to
be
something
that
will
support
the
city
and
and
our
residents
for
many
years
to
come.
B
S
D
N
N
Is
it
really
aligns
the
city
and
state
interest
with
the
interests
of
the
project
developer,
in
the
sense
that
the
public
dollars
that
will
ultimately
be
contributed
to
the
project
are
entirely
project
generated
dollars
and
not
an
allocation
or
a
carve
out
from
our
existing
city
budget.
So
in
other
words
it
the
investment,
iowa
reinvestment
act
dollars
and
the
tif
contributions
to
the
project
don't
materialize
unless
the
project
is
successful.
N
Unless
these
developments
add
significant
new
tax
value
to
the
city,
unless
they
generate
new
hotel,
motel
taxes
and
new
sales
tax
in
those
specific
territories,
there's
not
going
to
be
those
dollars
to
to
go
back
into
the
project,
so
it
really
provides
an
incentive
for
the
developer
to
make
this
project
as
successful
as
possible,
and-
and
I
think
that's
what
we've
seen
with
the
proposal
in
front
of
us.
So
with
that
further
explanation,
I'll
I'll
move,
the
item.
D
B
All
right
that
brings
us
to
our
communications
and
so
quickly
for
those
persons
wishing
to
speak
this
evening
under
the
public
speaking,
we
will
only
be
calling
on
those
who
have
registered
to
speak
and
because
of
the
number
of
speakers
this
evening,
each
speaker
will
receive
about
a
minute
and
40
seconds
for
it
to
make
their
comments.
So
please
keep
your
own
time,
because
at
the
end
of
that
minute,
40
the
clerk
will
announce
time
and
the
speaker's
mic
will
be
closed
and
we
will
move
immediately
to
the
next
speaker.
B
B
B
I
Hello,
my
name
is
adam
callanan.
I
use
him
pronouns,
I'm
with
peoplestown
hall
and
I'd
like
to
talk
about
kind
of
what
would
be
on
our
agenda
the
people's
agenda.
If
you
will
that
we're
not
really
seeing
on
the
council's
list
of
priorities,
that's
really
concerning
the
main
thing
is
koved,
we're
still
in
a
pandemic,
we're
still
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic,
even
if
our
governor
doesn't
believe
we
are
for
whatever
reason
and
the
city
is
still
sitting
on
covert
relief
funds.
I
The
city
needs
to
move
to
approve
and
distribute
those
funds
as
soon
as
possible.
I've
seen
us
not
us,
but
the
council
calls
emergency
meetings
for
a
lot
of
things.
It'd
be
great
if
we
had
an
emergency
meeting
to
distribute
out
these
relief
funds
that
the
city
is
for
some
reason
sitting
on
also
just
in
general,
the
vaccinations
and
testing
are
very
difficult
to
get
here.
I
mentioned
earlier
that
we're
the
50th
state
it'd
be
great.
I
The
city
could
put
out
any
sort
of
assistance
or
be
advocating
for
the
people
in
any
way
to
push
for
better
vaccinations
and
testing,
because
it
seems
like
that
is
not
happening
right
now.
Next,
up,
I
want
to
talk
about
housing
justice
a
bit
we
unfortunately
last
night
and
content
warning
about
about
death,
a
human
being
froze
to
death
last
night
in
a
porta
potty
here
in
des
moines,
outside
of
the
library
this
afternoon,
the
city
then
released
a
victim-shaming
set
of
tweets,
telling
people
to
find
shelter
when
it's
cold.
Y
Herbert
okay,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can
sorry,
okay.
I
had
to
figure
that
out.
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
apologize
for
missing
the
last
meeting.
I
meant
to
speak
at
that
meeting.
I
did
send
an
email
earlier
this
afternoon
following
up
on
an
item
actually
from
february
of
2019,
there
was
a
joint
meeting
between
city
council
and
the
civil
and
human
rights
commission,
and
as
a
result
of
that
meeting,
there
was
a
joint
resolution
made
to
establish
gender
inclusive
restrooms.
Y
So
I'm
wondering
what's
happening
with
that.
The
suggestions
were
to
make
some
changes
to
the
building
code,
to
make
it
so
that,
if
it's
a
single
user
facility
that
it
would
be
a
gender
neutral
restroom,
so
I'm
just
wondering
you
know
where
things
are
at
with
that
we
did
make
a
suggestion
of
having
keenan
crowe
from
one
iowa
help
with
some
of
the
language.
Y
So
we
are
asking
for
city
council
to
consider
removing
those
parts
of
the
code,
as
we
believe
that
sexual
orientation
and
gender
identity
should
be
protected
classes
and
that
folks
should
not
be
allowed
to
discriminate
against
individuals
based
on
sexual
orientation
or
gender
identity,
because
they
have
a
religious
objection
to
those
items.
I
also
did
mention
several
things
that
we
could.
B
V
Hi,
so
my
name
is
molly
arndt,
I
use
they
them
or
she
her
pronouns
and
I
live
in
bill,
gray's,
ward,
ward,
one.
I
also
wanted
to
speak
sorry
trigger
warning.
I'm
gonna
talk
about
death
about
the
death
of
a
community
member
last
night,
actually
pretty
close
to
my
neighborhood
and
in
bill
gray's
ward.
V
A
person
died
because
they
didn't
have
access
to
shelter
last
night,
and
that
is
a
direct
result
of
the
failure
of
the
des
moines
city
council
to
do
anything
to
help
the
people
that
they
are
supposed
to
represent
by
taking
a
violent
and
carceral
approach
to
people
experiencing
houselessness,
evicting
people's
camps,
not
providing
accu,
adequate,
affordable
housing
in
the
city
and
refusing
to
allocate
funds
to
help
house
people
and
by
continuing
to
funnel
money
into
the
police
budget.
Instead,
council
is
showing
that
they
value
violence
and
white
supremacy
over
literally
saving
human
lives.
V
V
A
Z
It
yeah
hi.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
yeah?
My
name
is
casey
erickson.
I
live
at
663,
38th
street
and
josh
mandelbaum's
ward.
I
wanted
to
talk
tonight.
I
sent
all
of
the
members
of
the
council
an
email
about
this
last
week,
but
I
wanted
to
talk
about
a
project
that
I
was
a
part
of
that
you
might
have
seen
in
the
register
kcci.
They
did
stories
about
us
as
well,
but
we've
been
clearing
snow
off
of
bus
stops
right
now.
Z
As
you
probably
know,
there,
there's
no
mechanism,
no
structure
in
place
to
clear
snow
off
of
bus
stops
unless
there
is
like
a
formal,
shelter
and
and
dark
cleats,
those
so
a
lot
of
times
what
happens?
Is
people
have
to
trudge
through
snow?
If
the
snowplows
leave
a
big
snow
bank
on
the
gutter,
people
have
to
climb
over
snow
banks,
they
can
get
two
three
four
feet
tall.
Z
This
leaves
a
lot
of
people,
particularly
people
who
have
mobility
issues
stranded,
unable
to
use
the
bus
unable
to
use
like
our
most
essential
public
infrastructure,
and
so
what
we've
been
doing
is
just
going
out
as
volunteers
and
trying
to
clear
snow
off
these
stops,
and
in
the
last
three
weeks
we
we've
cleared
about
200
stops
over
three
different
days,
but
the
thing
I've
learned
doing
this
is
that
it's
not
sustainable
as
a
volunteer
effort.
There's
no
way
we
can
do
this.
There's
1600
stops
in
dart
system.
Z
J
Yeah,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
sir
yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
say
it's
really
disappointing
that
you
all
have
again
opted
to
throw
your
support
behind
a
cop
who
has
repeatedly
proven
himself
to
be
a
racist.
It's
not
just
the
responsibility
of
the
des
moines
police
department
to
take
disciplinary
action
against
brian
minihan.
That's
also
your
responsibility
as
the
city
council.
J
It
seems
clear
that
the
passing
of
the
racial
profiling
ban
over
the
summer
was
just
a
charade,
an
attempt
to
generate
positive
pr
and
hope
that
the
des
moines
public
would
stop
putting
pressure
on
the
city
to
actually
take
action.
There
are
devastating
trends
that
reveal
a
culture
of
racism
and
a
lack
of
accountability
exist
within
dmpd.
We
are
not
going
to
stand
by
in
silence
as
this
continues.
J
So
why
are
you
all
standing
by
have
any
of
you
actually
looked
into
the
police
officer
who
you
are
protecting
minahan,
racially
profiled,
juan
haynes,
jarrod
clinton
and
d'amico
fuginshu,
and
not
only
that
he
started
a
high-speed
chase
in
a
residential
area
over
a
missing
license
plate
which
resulted
in
one
bystander's
death
and
another's
incarceration
for
30
years.
You
all
have
stood
behind
him,
we're
all
watching
and
taking
note
you're
speaking
volumes
with
your
support
of
steinkamp
minahan
and
their
racist
colleagues.
M
Hey
my
name
is
jalen
cavill.
I
use
he
him
pronouns.
I
just
want
to
start
by
saying
you
know.
I
don't
know
why
I
still
get
surprised,
but
I
honestly
sit
here
and
you
all
really
blow
my
mind
just
by
the
priorities
I
just
set
by
this
city
in
the
budget
that
you
all
lay
out
and
the
things
you
spend
money
on
from
the
over
70
million
dollars.
M
That's
spent
on
the
racist
and
violent
in
one
police
department,
not
including
the
lawsuits
and
lawyer
fees
that
are
having
to
be
paid
constantly
from
the
40
million
dollars
that
was
put
into
a
parking
garage
from
the
river
rafting
project,
the
millions
that
would
be
dumped
into
this.
That
y'all
are
now
pushing
forward
this
new
stalker
stadium,
complex
that
you
are
going
to
dump
millions
of
dollars
in,
even
though
a
millionaire
like
kraus
could
just
fund
it
himself.
M
Y'all
will
really
spend
money
on
anything
besides
actually
helping
the
people
who
live
in
this
city,
and
it
blows
my
mind,
it
really
does
in
trigger
warning
again.
I'm
gonna
talk
about
death
because
a
person
did
die
last
night
a
person
died
outside
in
the
cold
they
froze
to
death
because
of
the
inaction
of
this
city
council
he
died.
This
person
died
outside
of
the
franklin
library,
a
warming
center,
that
the
council
is
that
the
city
is
now
promoting
that
closes
at
five
and
seven
pm
on
some
nights.
M
How
is
the
person
supposed
to
stay
warm
once
they're
kicked
out
of
the
warming
center
after
seven
pm,
this
council
does
not
care
about
the
people
that
it's
supposed
to
represent.
This
person
died
in
bill,
gray's
ward,
when
a
constituent
asked
bill
gray
about
this
and
asked
him
to
make
a
statement.
He
said
that
he
wouldn't,
because
he's
shy,
bill
gray
needs
to
step
down
right
now.
He
has
no
place
representing
anyone
in
this
city.
He
is
too
shy
to
speak
out
about
a
death
that
happened
in
his
ward.
He
is
spineless.
M
B
X
Hello,
my
name's
denver
foote,
I
use
she
her
pronouns
and
policing
is
built
on
racism,
starting
in
iowa
as
a
way
to
protect
rich
white
land
owners
and
in
the
south
as
a
way
to
control
runaway
slaves.
With
this
history
in
mind,
it
is
no
surprise
that
council
continues
to
uphold
the
police
state
within
our
own
communities.
It
is
no
surprise
when
they
continue
to
not
hold
police
accountable.
X
When
I
a
hundred
pound
four
foot,
eleven
brown
female
walking
back
to
my
car
was
pushed
into
a
dark
nook
away
from
street
cameras
by
three
large
males
with
their
own
body.
Cameras
off
police
meant
to
serve
and
protect
macing
me
multiple
times,
beating
me
with
their
batons.
As
I
repeated
I
am
not
resisting
beating
me
so
hard.
I
suffer
from
permanent
nerve
damage.
Beating
me
so
hard.
I
suffer
from
ptsd
and
am
terrified
to
leave
my
home
beating
me
so
hard.
X
While
I
repeated
I
am
not
resisting
imagine
if
this
happened
to
your
own
child
counsel
and
you
uplift
them
vicious
broke
police
officers
over
your
own
constituents
lives.
It
is
no
surprise
anymore.
I
am
just
one
story
of
thousands
within
this
community
when
we
suffer
because
of
the
police
you
uphold,
it
is
blood
on
your
hands.
O
Hi,
so
my
name
is
jacob
grobe,
you
see
him
pronouns,
I'm
a
des
moines
resident.
The
viral
pandemic
has
exposed
the
cracks
in
society
that
have
always
existed.
It
has
required
all
of
us
to
step
up
and
do
everything
we
can
to
keep
our
friends,
family
and
neighbors
alive.
To
think
deeply
about
all
the
ways
we
can
use
our
power
and
privilege
to
help
those
in
need.
O
I
ask
our
city
council
members
to
ask
themselves:
do
you
think
you've
done
everything
you
can
to
prevent
the
countless
tragedies
in
our
community
over
the
past
year?
What
I've
seen
is
the
same
old
same
old
as
community
members
are
literally
freezing
to
death.
I'm
reading
another
headline
about
your
excitement
for
another
stadium
that
the
community
doesn't
even
want
my
how
quickly
the
city
moves
and
how
creative
they
get
when
it
comes
to
ramming
a
development
through
that
will
primarily
benefit
the
rich
and
well-off.
B
A
L
There
thank
you.
My
name
is
harley.
I
used
steve
pronouns.
I
wanted
to
lift
up
the
real
discrepancies
that
seemed
to
be
happening
with
the
budget,
as
we
saw
with
item
48,
there's
a
large
project
dedicated
to
an
area
that
I
currently
live
in
with
absolutely
no
input
from
the
community,
including
myself,
who
is
not
allowed
to
speak
on
that
approval
number.
L
Into
renovating
is
actually
a
space
where
we
have
a
lot
of
houseless
neighbors
in
the
state,
this
neighborhood.
So
what
I've
seen
just
looking
at
the
breakdown
of
the
2.1
million
square
feet
that
you've
proposed
to
put
money
into
not
taxed
and
then
develop
it
as
a
way
of
quote-unquote
like
revitalizing.
This
decrepit
area
is
actually
completely
about
the
retail
of
a
soccer
team
that
we
don't
even
know
exists
or
will
exist
at
some
point.
L
To
a
space
that
could
actually
be
useful
to
people
who
currently
live
here,
which
is
a
convenience
store.
Everything
else
is
for
retail
hotels,
another
100,
100
stall
parking
ramp.
That's
supposed
to
be
5
5
stories
here
in
this
area.
These
are
things
that
are
really
out
of
touch
with
people
like
me
who
live
here,
who
don't
have
a
grocery
store
that
is
easily
accessible
by
foot
and
doesn't
have
any
like
affordable
places
to
shop.
AA
AA
So
that
was
clearly
not
true
or
perhaps
it
was
a
very
slight
truth
that
he
spread
really
really
thin.
Let's
see
what
else
oh
yeah,
I
asked
him
if
he
would
be
willing
to
give
a
public
statement
about
the
person
who
passed
away
and
he
said
that
he
doesn't
feel
comfortable
speaking
up
at
city
council
meetings-
and
I
said,
oh
that's
interesting
as
a
public
servant.
B
B
K
Revenueing
they
them
pronouns.
As
a
pastor,
I
looked
to
the
christian
bible
for
comfort,
courage
and
provocation
in
times
of
distress
and
strain.
So
upon
hearing
of
the
person
who
froze
to
death
last
night,
I
was
reminded
of
luke
9
58.,
jesus
speaking
of
himself
says:
foxes
have
holes
and
birds
of
the
air
have
nests,
but
the
son
of
man
or
human
one
has
nowhere
to
lay
his
head.
Last
night.
Jesus
died
as
a
victim
of
the
neglect
of
this
city.
This
was
not
the
first
nor
at
the
rate
this
city
and
state
are
going.
K
As
a
city
council
for
the
incredible
people
who
are
holding
down
jobs
going
to
school
and
still
finding
ways
to
be
involved
by
attending
these
meetings
as
a
person
of
faith,
it
is
abhorrent
that
we
as
a
community-
and
you
in
particular
as
elected
representatives,
are
so
cruel,
please
to
use
a
biblical
term
repent
from
the
harm
you
continue
to
cause
pick
a
new
direction
week
after
week.
Speakers
call
you
to
a
new
way
of
caring
for
the
people
of
des
moines.
D
W
W
It's
going
to
be
virtual
anyways.
So
she
won't
be
in
direct
danger
because
it's
zoom,
which
I
think
we
all
know,
is
a
pretty
terrible
thing
to
say
to
a
person,
especially
since,
even
if
you're
not
going
to
be
immediately
sexually
assaulted,
because
it's
over
zoom,
it
still
is
harmful.
For
you
know
mental
health
to
work
with
a
sexual
predator.
So
we
probably
shouldn't
be
telling
people
that
it's
not
going
to
be
a
problem
to
work
with
them
and
also
probably
shouldn't
be
nominating
sexual
predators
to
do
things
through
the
city.
B
D
AB
This
is
vanessa
moranchella
use
she
her
pronouns
trigger
warning,
I
just
for
death.
I
just
want
to
start
off
by
saying
that
I
thought
it
was
really
violent
for
the
city
of
des
moines
to
go
on
their
social
media
and
post
their
little
piece
of
information
about
the
warming
centers
that
are
offered.
It
was
very
clear
that
you
posted
this
in
response
to
an
individual
in
our
community
passing
away
by
freezing
last
night,
and
so
you
saw
that
and
went
on
and
said
we
better
go
ahead
and
head
off
some
of
these
comments.
AB
We
might
get
from
concerned
community
members
and
put
our
list
of
warming
centers
out
there.
You
know
full
well
that
the
center's
closed
by
like
five
to
seven
pm,
so
this
individual
wouldn't
have
been
helped
by
these
centers.
In
fact,
they
passed
away
right
next
to
one
of
the
warming
centers
that
you
so
politely
and
kindly
listed
on
your
site,
those
extremely
violent
and
disgusting,
and
so
with
that
being
said,
you
need
to
defund
dmpd.
AB
And
let's
talk
about
the
word
defund,
because
when
I
called
connie
about
my
concerns
earlier,
she
did
not
understand
what
defund
means.
Defunding
is
different
than
abolishment.
Defunding
is,
as
she
quoted
reallocating
funds
to
different
services.
So
let's
do
that.
Let's
reallocate
some
funds
from
dmpd
to
help
people
in
our
community
to
be
able
to
survive.
That's
all
we're
asking
for
is
to
be
able
to
help
people
to
survive.
Take
money
from
the
largest
budget
that
we
have
for
the
dmpd
who
will
harass
this
community
and
use
it
to
help
them?
B
H
Schwecker,
hello,
okay,
so
my
name
is
indeed
she
maker
she
her
pronouns.
I
would
like
to
address
a
comment
made
earlier
about
joe
gatto,
telling
his
constituents
or
the
constituents
of
the
city
talking
down
to
people
and
claiming
that
we
don't
know
how
the
budget
works
when
we
ask
for
the
police
budget
to
be
cut
to
fund
good
projects
like
connecting
sidewalks
in
our
city.
So
I
want
to
talk
about
the
capital
improvement
budget
on
the
finance
website.
H
It
says
that
since
cip
projects
often
impact
operating
costs,
the
two
budgets
are
tied
together
and
then
in
the
powerpoint
that
you
all
got
during
your
quarterly
work
session.
This
week
we
see
listed
as
part
of
the
funding,
for
the
cip
is
the
general
fund.
So
if
we
can
talk
about
cutting
police
budget
from
the
general
fund,
some
of
that
can
go
to
capital
improvement
projects.
H
So
I
just
want
to
yeah
not
allow
people
to
talk
down
to
their
constituents,
telling
us
that
we
don't
know
how
it
works,
because
also,
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
fact
that
that
is
a
failure
on
council
and
the
city's
part
that
your
citizens
don't
know
how
to
engage
with
their
government.
If
that
is
the
case,
it
is
your
job
to
make
sure
that
we
know.
What's
going
on
you're
literally
holding
public
hearings
about
the
budget,
we
should
know
what's
going
on.
H
So,
if
we're
sitting
here
like
talking
about
something-
and
you
think
that
we
don't
understand
the
problem-
that's
a
failure
on
your
part.
When
an
entire
class
fails
in
school,
they
don't
say
that
all
those
children
failed.
They
said
the
teacher
fails
teaching
them.
So
I
also
want
to
talk
about
the
fact
that
general
fund
goes
into
cip,
but
also
a
lot
of
that
money
comes
from
general
obligation,
bonds,
which
could
absolutely
be
used
to
fund
projects
like
housing
and
sidewalks,
and
things
like
that.
H
But
you
guys
only
use
that
for
big
development
projects
and
you
don't
ever
use
it
for
housing.
In
fact,
most
of
the
items
regarding
sidewalks
in
the
cip
are
funded
by
general
obligation,
bonds
or
by
tiff.
I
also
want
to
talk
about
tiff
and
how
you
guys
claim
that
these
big
developments
that
you're
subsid
I'm.

Hi,
can
you
hear
me
yes,
hi?
My
name
is
leah
plath
I
go
by
she,
her
pronouns
trigger
warning
for
death.
I
also
want
to
speak
on
the
death
of
a
community
member
last
night,
I'm
from
ward
one
myself,
it's
just
so
disheartening
and,
like
vanessa,
said
violent
that
the
same
day
after
this
news
came
out
that
the
city
of
des
moines
put
on
their
facebook
quote,
these
wind
chills
can
be
dangerous
if
precautions
are
not
taken.
Residents
are
reminded
to
avoid
exposure
to
the
extreme
cold
and
to
take
precautions.
AC
Anywhere
to
go-
and
you
guys
just
love
the
police
here
in
des
moines,
but
they're,
the
ones
who
are
tearing
down
these
on
these
homeless
camps
these
on
the
house
camps
with
like
what
are
they
supposed
to
do?
Those
are
the
precautions
they
can
take
and
yet
those
are
destroyed,
and
then
they
have
to
keep
repeating
the
cycle.
While
you
guys
have
nothing
of
value
to
give
them,
you
don't
actually
care
you
just
want
to.
You
just
want
it
to
seem
like
you
care
anyway,
there
are
better
things
you
can
do.
AC
AC
A

G

Okay,
so
I
I
think
that
that
definitely
needs
to
be
said.
We
just
we
need
to
be
able
to
get
people
inside
and
encourage
them
to
go
inside.
I
know
we
face
this
problem
every
winter
and
we
face
it
every
summer
when
it's
over
100
degrees,
and
so
it's
it's
a
tragic
thing,
but
we,
however,
we
can
get
the
word
out.
That's
that's
what
we
need
to
do
to
make
sure
that
people
know
there
is
a
safe
place
in
a
bed
and
a
warm
warm
food
that
they
can
go
to
and
and
kept
warm.
