A
B
I
will
again
repeat
to
many
of
you
who
have
been
here
before,
but
due
to
the
increased
community
transmission
of
covet
19,
including
the
variants
that
are
getting
a
little
scary,
we
have
implemented
a
fast
face
mask
covering
requirement
in
all
of
our
city
buildings.
The
requirement
applies
to
both
staff
and
visiting
public
and
includes
attendance
at
our
council
meetings.
If
you
don't
have
a
mask
or
a
face
covering
one
will
be
provided
so
we're
happy
to
help
out
with
that.
B
B
Anyone
engaging
in
disruptive
conduct
in
the
city,
council,
chambers
or
the
great
hall
will
result
and
those
being
disruptive
being
ordered
to
leave
the
building
and
being
denied
re-admittance
for
the
remainder
of
the
day,
no
person
will
be
permitted
to
stand
between
or
on
the
chairs
and
the
council
members,
except
the
persons
addressing
the
council
at
the
speaker's
microphone
only
after
being
recognized.
So
those
are
the
ones
that
are
permitted.
B
B
The
last
time
when
I
spoke
with
my
mask
on
the
time,
so
I
will
be
taking
it
off
when
I
speak
this
evening,
but
otherwise
I
will
wear
it
so
that
the
people
that
are
listening
on
the
air
can
hear,
and
hopefully
those
in
the
audience
here
can
as
well.
So
let's
call
the
meeting
order
and
I'll
ask
clerk
to
please
take
roll.
B
All
right
item
two
is
approving
the
agenda
as
presented
and
or
as
amended.
I
will
quickly
say
that
the
consent
agenda
items-
item

17,
is
corrected
with
a
term
that
was
corrected.

also

there
was
apparently
a
page
missing
which
is
now
corrected
in

corrected,
chapter
114.
There
was
a
piece
of
it
that
was
unreadable
page
and
it
was
re-scanned
and
then
re-linked.
So
with
that,
could
we
have
a
motion.
B
Can
these
are
routine
items
and
will
be
enacted
by
one
roll
call

G
B
Usually
on
on
these
on
the
hearing
items,
we
have
a
lot
of
different
directions
like
for
zoning
items,
but
tonight
there's
no
zoning
items
so
we're
gonna
dispense
with
going
through
all
that,
but
with
item
51,
that's
being
dismissed
at
the
request
of
the
applicant,
and
we
also
have
several
public
improvement
hearings
for
all
of
the
hearings.
This
evening,
any
interested
person
may
make
germaine
comments
and
not
to
exceed
one
minute
per
person
to
a
maximum
of
five
minutes
per
hearing.
B
Unless
the
hearing
is
ended
sooner
for
failure
to
make
germaine
public
comments
or
one
come
and
cease.
As
a
reminder
on
the
public
improvement
hearings,
only
comments
as
to
the
plans,
specifications,
form
of
documents
and
the
engineer's
estimate
and
low
bidder
designation
will
be
considered
germaine.

A

A
E
B
Item
53
is
on
the
proposed
douglas
avenue
urban
renewal
area
receiving
and
filing
the
determination
of
the
des
moines
planning
and
zoning
commission
in
adopting
the
urban
renewal
plan
council
communication
number
21-531-a
is
a
resolution
of
necessity
for
the
douglas
avenue
urban
renewal
area,
we'll
open
this
up
and
see.
If
anybody
has
any
jermaine
comments
for
the
general
from
the
general
public
again,
one
minute.
B
I
I
A
H
I
mean,
I
think,
we've
had
some
discussions,
at
least
among
council
I'd
like
us
to
see
a
policy
where
we
move
towards
certified
payroll
as
a
condition
of
all
future
tif
related
projects,
so
that
that
becomes
a
standard
term.
I
I
think
council
member
westerguard's
sent
some
emails
about
that,
and
I
know
I've
talked
with
with
others,
but
I
think
there's
likely
support
on
the
council
for
something
like
that
and
I'd
like
to
get
that
formalized
so
that
particularly
for
this
urban
renewal
district
but
others
as
well
as
new
projects
come
forward.
N
Okay,
that's
fine!
Okay!
Thank
you,
yeah!
Thank
you!
Council
members,
marcus
kanan,
beaverdale,
neighborhood
association.
President.
I
just
wanted
to
stop
by
and
say
thank
you
so
much
for
getting
this
underway.
This
is
going
to
be
great
for
the
douglas
avenue
corridor.
One
item
that
I
would
like
to
bring
to
your
attention
is
the
intersection
of
38th
street
and
douglas
avenue.
It's
it's
in
in
the
douglas
corridor
plan.
N
It's
recognized
as
one
of
the
entrances
to
beaverdale
and-
and
I
would
just
like
to
have
additional
conversations
about
adding
that
into
this
urban
renewal
area
at
an
appropriate
time
in
the
future,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
as
incentives
go
into
the
redevelopment
of
this
corridor
and
design
an
implementation
of
the
corridor
plan
gets
underway,
but
that
intersection
is
not
lost
in
the
in
the
overall
project.
So
thank
you.
I
support
this
great
work.
L
F
I
also
am
a
representative
of
the
north
central
states,
regional
council
of
carpenters.
I,
along
with
felicia,
help
represent
a
little
over
a
thousand
blue
collar
working
members
that
perform
work
and
live
in
not
only
this
one
piece
here
with
this
urban
renewal
that
we're
talking
about
here
but
all
over
the
city,
and
my
comment
is
to
commend
you
and
thank
you
very
much
for
the
consideration
of
adopting
such
language
when
it
comes
to
the
verified,
payroll
and
other
other
pieces
that
may
go
along
with
that.
F
This
has
been
a
long
time
coming,
and
this
is
really
going
to
help
shore
up
the
practices
of
construction
and,
again,
those
blue
collar
type,
people
that
are
doing
these
projects
and
make
businesses
perform
in
that
forthcoming
manner,
where
they
are
truly
employing
true
employees
and
true
craftspeople
that
are
out
there.
Building
these
projects,
not
storefront
contractors
with
scrupulous
business
practices
when
it
comes
to
the
folks
performing.
O
India
shoemaker,
I
am
a
city
council
person
elect
for
ward
one.
I
want
to
thank
the
carpenters
for
being
here
and
speaking
and
everything
that
you
said.
I
had
some
questions
answered
about
this
project
earlier,
but
I
did
just
want
to
ask
it.
I
didn't
get
a
question
answered
about
the
neighborhood
association
meetings
and
kind
of
what
the
response
was
in
those
meetings.
P
Q
Q
I
think,
when
you're
talking
about
individuals
who
are
lucky
enough
to
own
property
and
driving
property
value
down
because
of
that
connotation
that
might
come
along
with
it
and
other
tertiary
things
that
maybe
aren't
in
our
purview
for
fixing
the
neighborhood
that
might
kind
of
be
causes
and
effects
of
what
we're
doing.
I
think,
unfortunately,
the
council's
shown
as
of
late
and
we're
even
going
to
vote
on
some
things
later
tonight
that
we
haven't
been
using
tiff
money
to
really
truly
help
the
city.
Q
Q
So
I
really
encourage
not
only
if
we're
going
to
be
adopting
language
to
make
sure
we're
having
a
level
of
pay
for
corporations,
making
sure
we're
looking
at
accessibility,
making
sure
that
the
bipod
community
is
represented
and
making
sure
that
we're
taking
care
of
our
people
and
making
sure
that
we
don't
hurt
businesses
that
already
exist
there.
Instead
we're
uplifting
them.
D
I
just
wanted
to
bring
up
on
the
extension.
I
know
the
issue
of
up
on
38th,
but
that
we
look
at
that
going
forward.
I
know
not
in
this
agreement,
but
I
think
it's
important
not
to
have
these
cut
offs.
Sometimes
we,
you
know
that
I
think
we
have
to
keep
going
forward
and
use
other
tools
to
make
sure
the
whole
corridor
is
good.
As
far
as
the
businesses
are
existing
there.
I
think
we
could
do.
D
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
incentives
and
things
for
the
small
businesses
and
how,
if
we
are
redeveloping
or
if
somebody
is
redeveloping,
how
we
make
sure
that
they
can
still
stay
within
their
neighborhood
and
look
at
some
incentive
in
some
way
when
we
redevelop
so
just
going
forward.
I
think
that
there's
a
there
needs
to
be
the
ongoing
discussion
within
all
of
our
hub
areas,
or
I
call
the
arterial
roads
the
development.
D
I
know
that
the
economic
development
people
are
working
on
covering
different
parts
of
the
city
where
the
such
as
the
douglas
avenue
or
whether
it
be
hubble
or
whether
it
be
southeast
14th
or
something
to
take
the
strategies
of
how
we
develop
and
really
encourage
re,
rebuilding
and
reorganization
and
getting
new
businesses
into
those
corridors.
So.
K
I
mary,
you
know
we
started
this
process
back
in
2016.
and
I
think
scott
you
were
in
one
of
the
initial
meetings.
We
started
at
the
deborah
heights
wesleyan
church
with
about
three
people
and
it
built
and
built
and
built
and
got
real
momentum
going.
Brian
o'leary
is
the
one
that
did
all
the
heavy
lifting
on
this
and
he's
done
a
fantastic
job
of
keeping
this
process
going
forward.
K
I
think
the
game
plan
we've
been
looking
at
has
always
been
to
continue
it
further
west
and
then
also
continue
further
east
to
take
in
ward
two.
We
had
to
take
a
bite
somewhere
get
a
start
in
here
and
with
the
loss
of
plaza
lanes,
we
have
a
very
rural
danger
of
that
whole
area,
just
kind
of
sliding
back
into
almost
nowhere
land.
So
I
think
this
is
a
great
step
forward.
I've
been
a
part
of
this
process
the
entire
time,
so
I'm
going
to
move
53
and
53a.
E
B
Item
54
is
accepting
a
revised
development
proposal
from
des
moines
climate
controlled
self
storage.
Llc
mark
bodenstedt
is
the
owner
to
develop
city
owned
property
in
the
vicinity
of
503
southeast
12th
street
in
the
metro
center
urban
renewal
area
and
accepting
the
conceptual
development
plan
for
the
project
council.
Communication
number
21-527
again,
council
any
comments.
Any
thoughts
here.
G
Mayor,
I
understand
the
the
problem
that
has
arised
with
with
this
project
with
the
soil.
I
think
that's
why
we've
gone
back
and
revisited
it
and,
as
you
go
through
the
blue
letter
and
you
look
at
the
estimated
tax.
Yes,
the
estimated
tax
without
this
project
for
a
total
of
ten
years
is
sixty
six
thousand
dollars.
G
The
estimated
tax
with
the
project
is
three
point:
seven
million
dollars.
So
I
I'm
glad
that
that
you
know
that
the
net
taxes
received
will
be
2.5.
That's
a
heck
of
a
lot
better
in
my
book.
It's
simple
math
of
66
000
or
2.5
million.
So
I'm
happy
to
move
this
project
forward.
I
understand
with
the
soil
when,
when
you're
ready
to
build
something
you
go
out
and
you
do
borings
and
you
realize
that
you're
dealing
with
not
very
good
soil.
The
cost
goes
up
tremendously,
and
so
I
will
move
item
54.
A
Q
Three
again,
I
appreciate
the
you
know
trying
to
get
tax
money
off
the
city
land
that
we
own
today
and
cm
develops
great.
I
guess
the
issue
I
have
with
this
is
we
just
said
in
the
last
item
that
we
talked
about
how
we
want
to
make
improvements
to
the
tif
process,
and
I
think
here
is
an
example
of
where
how
is
this
benefiting
the
people
of
des
moines
to
make
sure
that
we
are
using
up
to
1.2
million
dollars
in
tiff
funding?
Q
Q
M
D
O
G
But
I
would
just
clarify
a
simple
answer:
is
there
is
no
tiff
if
there
is
no
project,
so
we
get
a
base
tax
and
if
there
is
no
project
they're,
basically
paying
all
the
taxes
in
and
we're
refunding
a
portion
of
their
tax
back,
but
without
a
project
there
is.
There
is
no
money
to
refund
back
or
to
help
build
the
build.
Whatever
we're
going
to
build
that's
kind
of
a
simple
answer
of
explanation
of
how
tiff
works.
I
would
I
would
say.
B
Item
55
on
the
proposition
to
authorize
the
lease
in
the
principal
amount
of
not
to
exceed
one
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars
for
the
purpose
of
acquiring
certain
items
of
equipment
for
winter.
Snow
removal
consisting
of
three
motor
graders
and
one
bulldozer,
germain
comments
again
we're
going
to
ask
but
quickly
ask
council
any
comments
here.
A
L
G
Can
I
just
clarify,
maybe
scott
you
can
give
an
answer?
What
is
our
policy
for
removing
snow
from?
However
many
bus
stops,
we
have
who
who's
responsible?
Are
we
responsible
who?
Who
is
going
to
be
doing
that?
Because
we've
we've
been
dealing
this
for
a
while,
and
we
need
to
get
some
type
of
solution?
Yeah.
H
H
Other
member
communities
in
dart
are
looking
at
stops
that
may
not
have
shelters
where
there
might
not
be
a
sidewalk
pad
that
is
cleared
thinking
about
incorporating
that
into
their
opera
or
their
capital
improvement
budget
over
time.
I
think
that's
something
that
we
should
be
doing
as
part
of
our
sidewalk.
J
And
I
would
just
add
that
I've
I've
had
multiple
conversations
with
elizabeth
from
dart,
because
there
are
many
stops
where
the
grass
is
overgrown,
it
doesn't
get,
doesn't
get
mowed,
it
doesn't
get
shoveled
in
the
winter
and
it
was
it's
been
made
very
clear.
It
is
the
property
owner's
responsibility
to
clear
those,
as
it
is
right
now.
G
P
Hey
my
name
is
adam
50309,
ward,
3..
I
appreciate
this
is
a
complicated
problem
with
the
private
business
owners
being
like
somewhat
responsible
for
it.
But
when
the
stops
aren't
clear
the
stops
aren't
cleared.
It
doesn't
really
matter
like
whose
fault
it
is,
and
we
know
that
last
year
the
city
had
a
surplus
of
money
for
snow
removal.
P
R
R
R
That's
what
dart
is
saying
as
well,
but
the
fact
remains
that
there
are
over
1700
stops
in
the
city.
It
becomes
a
public
safety
issue
when
people
are
standing
on
the
roads
or
going
over
treacherous
ice
patches
to
get
to
the
stops.
So
yeah
just
want
to
re-emphasize
the
point
that
this
really
needs
to
be
taken
care
of,
doesn't
matter
whose
fault
it
is
it's
an
issue
thanks.
O
O
To
tell
someone
to
stand
on
the
street,
or
you
know,
even
their
mobility
devices
are
not
always
going
to
be
able
to
access
those
areas
wave
down
their
bus,
and
we
also
know
the
bus
is
not
necessarily
going
to
stop
if
you're
not
at
a
bus.
Stop
so
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
this
is
an
issue
that
we
need
to
be
working
on
with

comments
from
the
general
public
again
will
ask
but
ask
first:
if
council
members
have
any
comments
on
that.
G
I'll
wait
to
have,
I
mean
we've
talked
about
this
multiple
times
with
existing
buildings,
I'm
hoping
that
we
come
up
with
some
type
of
solution:
that's
workable
for
new
construction
in
existing
buildings.
If
menards
had
to
do
this,
this
would
completely
shut
them
down,
and
you
know,
we've
talked
a
lot
about
tiff.
We've
talked
about
a
lot
about
economic
incentives
tonight
and
in
this
corridor
we
have
none
and
so
I'll,
listen
to
public
comments.
G
G
O
J
S
Good
evening
nick
brunner,
with
menards
5101
menard
drive.
I
appreciate
you
having
me
here
tonight.
This
is
the
last
step
in
a
long
process
been
working
on
this.
For
about
two
years.
I've
been
in
front
of
you
guys
virtually
before
doing
different
things
for
this
and
we're
excited
to
get
moving
on
this
project,
we're
a
little
bummed
that
we
had
to
go
through
this
route.
Just
because
we
delayed
the
expansion
for
more
year,
but
every
area
of
the
parking
lot
we
are
touching,
we
are
complying
with.
You
know
the
code.
S
You
know
we're
planting
over
50
trees
along
the
perimeter
of
the
site.
You
know,
I
even
said
at
the
planting
zoning
commission
we'll
plant
the
trees
on
the
entrance
coming
up,
provided
we
can,
you
know,
excuse
these
last
landscape
islands
parking
lots
in
great
shape.
We
don't
want
to
tear
it
up
yet
to
put
all
these
extra
landscape
islands
in.
L
S
This
remodel
on
its
own
is
less
than
10
of
the
value
of
that
building,
so
just
this
project
alone
wouldn't
meet
that,
but
because
we
added
so
much
to
it
10
years
ago.
That's
why
we're
here
again
having
to
do
this,
so
we're
just
asking
to
help
get
this
remodel
through
and
wave
the
rest
of
these
islands,
and
we
can
proceed
next
spring.
Q
Yeah,
I
think
my
side
of
town,
I,
like
menards,
I'm
stoked
to
it's
getting
these
updates.
I
guess
one
of
my
concerns
is
this
seems
like
it's
a
continued
problem
where
we
continuously
are
asking
for
these
types
of
exceptions,
for
these
type
of
updates
that
are
happening,
and
so
we're
talking
about
one
for
next
meeting
as
well.
Genesis
is
going
to
go
through
the
same
thing
and
have
the
same
sort
of
discussion.
I
would
like
to
see
more
tree
coverage.
I
would
like
to
see
us
follow
the
standards
we've
set.
Q
Q
Be
companies
like
menards
corporations
that
can
navigate
our
tricky
process
to
get
their
project
done,
where
it's
things
like
community
fridges
and
other
assets
to
the
community
that
are
violating
zone
issues
as
well,
which
that's
what
this
is
is
a
code
violation
that
we're
exemptioning
but
we're
not
working
with
community
resources.
That
aren't
a
hardware
store
or
a
health
club
that
you'll
be
voting
on.
T
Hi,
my
name
is
carol
maher.
I
live
in
ward,
three
zip
code
50312.
I
have
attended.
I
typically
attend
the
planned
zoning
meetings
and
this
issue
comes
up
a
lot,
especially
for
legacy
parking
lots.
I
think
it's
it's
a
mistake
to
not
address
the
heat
island
issue
and
the
storm
water
runoff
by
adding
the
required
islands.
T
It
also
adds
a
beautifies
the
area-
and
I
know
council,
member
gatto
you're
very
interested
in
beautifying
this
area,
but
every
time
you
don't
go
along
with,
you
want
to
override
the
plan
and
zoning
commission
on
what
they
require:
you're
you're,
degrading
sort
of
the
south
side
on
and
the
beauty
and
the
stormwater
runoff
issues
that
exist.
So
I
would
encourage
you
to
think
about
all
the
cement
concrete.
H
H
H
H
I
I
have
not
seen
anything
in
this
particular
instance.
That
would
would
allow
me
to
support
that
exception.
So,
if
you
move
on
on
the
second
item,
I
will
plan
on
on
voting
against
approval
of
the
type
two
design
alternative,
consistent
with
what
our
planning
and
zoning
commission
did
unanimously
and
consistent
with
what
our
staff
has
recommended.

I'll

it's

K
Thank
you
mayor.
This
is
phase
three
of
the
project.
We
a
few
of
us
connie
mayer
how
this
all
started
was
the
flood
of
2018
and
we've
got
an
earful,
and
this
is
showing
that
we
do
listen.
We
make
commitments
and
we
follow
through
on
them.
You
know
we
put
seven
million
dollars
into
47th
and
and
holcomb
we
put
seven
million
dollars
on
that
makoka
to
drain
project.
K
Right
now
we
got
2.2
million
on
the
retention
base
and
over
there
41st
in
college,
and
if
you
drive
down
beaver
and
and
34th
street
you'll,
see
the
work
that
we're
doing
for
widening
the
culvert
under
beaver
avenue
on
both
sides.
Taking
that
drain,
that's
coming
from
the
coconut,
we're
doing
the
things
that
we
promised
to
do
with
the
the
lost
sales
tax
money
that
we
promised.
We
it's
a
good
thing
that
we
are
seeing
these
progress
and
we
put
the
signs
up
to.
K
Let
people
know
that
this
is
your
tax
dollars
at
work,
and
this
is
a
good
thing
to
keep
people
wanting
to
live
in
ward
one
and
bring
people
in,
because
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
their
belongings
being
watched
down
the
road
because
of
inadequate
sewer
treatment.
So
I'm
really
happy
to
make
this
is
going
to
be.
The
buzz
is
on
franklin
avenue
right
now.
People
are
already
making
plans
to
improve
their
properties
and
take
advantage
of
the
things
that
the
reconstruction
of
the
franklin
and
48
is
going
to
bring.
B
G
G
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
scott,
I'd
like
to
direct
you
as
part
of
this
hearing
item
direct
staff
to
part
of
the
agreement
with
genesis,
health
club
and
it's
it's
not
going
to
be
just
a
health
club.
It's
going
to
be
a
catalyst
for
the
south
side.
It's
going
to
be
five
courts
or
where
tournament
ball
is
going
to
be
played,
basketball,
volleyball
and
with
that
the
applicant
is
willing
to
give
right
now.

a
is
a
final
consideration,
the
ordinance
above
the
waivers
requested
by
ben
page,
our
parks
and
recreation
director.
It
requires
six
votes,
counsel.
B
Item
61
is
ma
mending
chapter
114
of
the
municipal
code
regarding
traffic
regulation
changes
as
follows:
council
communication
number
21-517
a
is
the
parking
restriction.
Dean

and
b
is

modification
accessible
parking
space
on
east
25th

between

and

B
B
H
H
This
is
part
of
the
whole
process
to
improve
our
parking
downtown,
and
this
is
this-
is
some
code
changes
that
that
go
along
with
that
process
and
look
forward
to
seeing
that
implemented?
I
think
our
residents
will
benefit
and
it'll
provide
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
improve
how
we
provide
that
particular
service.
B
G
B
Item
64
is
an
exception
to
the
procurement
ordinance,
competitive
procurement
requirements
for
good
cause
and
approving
an
agreement
with
broadlawn's
medical
center
for
mobile

health
response
team
services
and
the
crisis
advocacy
response
effort
program.
Council
communication
number
21-5.
B
H
D
Just
wanted
to
comment
too,
I
want
to
thank
everybody.
That's
been
involved,
because
I
think
this
is
something
that
we
can
only
keep
expanding
upon
to
really
give
the
services
and
help
people
instead
of
putting
them
into
the
police
system
or
the
incarceration
system.
So
I
look
forward
for
more
avenues
to
do
more
work
in
this,
and
I
applaud
bride
lawns
and
all
the
work
everybody
in
polk
county
who's
helped
put
this
together.
G
Connie,
I
would
echo
those
comments.
I
think
a
lot
of
us
asked
the
same
question
of
how
do
we
expand
it?
What's
the
cost
of
it?
We
really
we
got
these
answers
really
late
and
there
really
wasn't
a
clear-cut
answer
of
you
know.
My
question
was:
how
do
you
do
it
365
days
a
year?
You
know
you
know
instead
of
just
40
hours
a
week,
and
I
didn't
see
a
clear-cut
answer
with
that,
but
I
would
be.
G
I
just
feel
like
we're
just
putting
everyone
in
jail
and-
and
that's
that's
not
where,
where
folks
need
to
go,
so
I
would
be
interested
we'll
see
how
this
goes.
But
I
would,
I
would
look
to
you
as
a
budgeting
item,
to
work
on
this
to
expand
it
and
because
we
can
use
this
as
a
pilot
program.
I
guess,
but.
D
G
E
M
M
V
V
One
of
the
people
we
brought
on
for
additional
mobile
crisis
wasn't
exactly
what
they
were
used
to
in
a
clinic
setting.
We
we
anticipated
this,
but
we
absolutely
it's
been
a
tremendously
successful
program
for
over
a
decade,
an
award-winning
program
in
the
mobile
crisis.
This
is
a
natural
evolution,
natural
expansion
and
we
embrace
and
look
forward
to
continuing
that.
A
H
My
hope
is
that
we
can
start
tracking
the
the
data
from
dispatch
and
identifying,
because
I
think
that
would
make
the
case
to
help
us
make
the
case,
and
you
know,
justify
budget
expenditures
on
expanding
the
program
quicker
when
we
can
see
how
many
calls
there
are
that,
because
we
don't
have
the
staffing
we
still
have
to
respond
to
in
our
normal,
through
our
normal
system
or
through
the
system
that
currently
exists
rather
than
with
mental
health
workers.
It,
I
think
in
other
communities
that
have
been
doing
an
expanded
system
like
this.
H
I'm
happy
to
move
this
item.
You
know
it's
been
almost
two
years
since
I
think
I
I've
put
an
item
on
the
agenda
to
talk
about
pure
violence
and
look
at
how
we
could
bring
that
model
to
des
moines.
I'm
appreciative
of
the
fact
that
we've
worked
through.
We
did
an
assessment.
We
were
very
thoughtful
and
deliberative
in
how
we
look
to
bring
this
program
here.
H
H
The
partners
in
this
community,
who
I
think
can
be
successful
partners
in
implementing
an
approach
like
this,
and
so
I'm
excited
to
to
build
the
capacity
to
train
the
folks
to
implement
this
model
I'll,
be
watching
closely
to
see
the
results,
and
I'm
excited
that
we're
we're.
Finally,
taking
the
step
and
moving
this
forward.
K
M
Yes
matter
than
council
members,
I
do
want
to
shout
out
to
creative
visions.
Further
work
on
this
proposal
took
a
lot
of
time
and
effort.
This
is
a
new
approach
with
the
partnership
aspect
of
this
and
bringing
in
the
national
partner
of
cure
violence.
So
I
really
appreciate
the
hard
work
that's
been
put
into
this.
Thank
you.
B
Request
to
speak,
we
have
two
this
evening.
You
know
for
those
persons
wishing
to
speak
this
evening
under
the
speaking
agenda.
We
will
be
calling
on
you.
All
speakers
must
comply
with
the
rules
regarding
their
names
and
ward
and
zip
code.
Each
of
the
two
speakers
this
evening
will
receive
up
to
their
two
minutes
and
please
keep
your
own
time,
because
at
the
end
of
the
two
minutes
mike
will
be
closed
and
we
will
move
immediately
to
the
next
speaker.
P
P
Frankly,
I'm
kind
of
tired
of
being
the
person
who's
here
and
say
it,
but
the
people
who
need
to
be
listened
to
on
this
can't
be
here
which
is
the
heart
of
the
problem,
because,
first
off,
we
need
a
virtual
option
just
between
accessibility.
Generally,
it
really
helps,
and
especially
during
covet
a
lot
of
people
just
cannot
risk
coming
to
these
meetings.
P
We
also
need
asl
and
translators
and
translated
agendas
and
other
materials.
There's
a
lot
of
things.
The
city
is
failing
to
do,
some
of
which
it
used
to
do,
and
I'm
not
sure
why
it
stopped,
but
it
did
stop
over
the
past
year
or
two,
and
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
we
could
have
paid
for
all
that
and
more
if
we
hadn't
instead
paid
for
around
14
swat
cops
to
be
in
these
meetings.
For
the
past
few
months,
surveilling
things
and
treating
residents
like
threats
as
well
as
the
private
security.
P
Defund
dmpd,
we're
talking
about
things,
are
spending
way
too
much
money
on
paying
cops
to
do
things
that
cops
shouldn't
be
doing,
which
moving
that
to
things
like
accessibility
and
providing
things
for
residents
instead,
and
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
it's
not
just
a
factor
of
like
moving
money
around,
because
the
city
is
also
actively
ignoring
accommodation,
requests
for
these
meetings,
and
I
really
don't
feel
that
public
meetings
are
public
when
you
exclude
entire
populations
of
people.
I
always
like
to
talk
about
the
appointment
today.
P
That
was
on
the
consent
agenda.
Dana
winger
was
appointed
to
a
joint
services
board.
We
weren't
allowed
to
talk
about
it.
It
was
considered
non-controversial
even
though
dmpd
has
a
lot
of
lawsuits
against
it.
Right
now
and
council's
been
silent,
a
lot
of
those
last
lawsuits
since
the
recent
ones
came
out
and
we've
been
told
it's
for.
