That
area
just
looks
pretty
terrible
and
kind
of
like
somebody's
trying
to
corral
in
animals,
which
is
probably
not
the
image
that
we
want
to
portray
as
des
moines
and
the,
and
so
I
think,
having
a
larger
conversation
about
why
this
is
happening
in
this
particular
way
would
be
helpful
and
why
we
need
more
security,
which
I'm
assuming
is
police
presence.
There.
A
H
D
A
A
J
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
carl
vos
and
I
sit
on
the
board
of
the
investia
sm
that
was
created
to
help
make
improvements
into
neighborhoods
and
there's
four
piloted
pro
neighborhoods,
but
this
is
open
to
all
neighborhoods
except
those
four,
so
I
think
it's
important
it's
limited
dollars,
but
it's
what
we've
learned
that
has
been
very
successful,
with
invest
dsm
as
a
block
challenge
grant
where
people
can
get
with
their
neighbors
and
get
together
and
get
a
matching
grant.
D
Mayor,
thank
you
and,
and
thank
you
to
yourself
and
council
member
vos
and
bozum
for
serving
on
this
committee.
This
is
a
great
thing
that
we
partnered
with
the
county
to
do,
and
you
know
we.
We
appreciate
that
just
wondering
how
we're
going
to
get
to
word
out
to
the
neighborhoods
and
to
particular
property
owners,
of
how
we're
going
to
do
that.
Would
that
be
part
of
maybe
the
county
would
put
that
in
maybe
the
water
bills
to
everyone.
D
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
have
discussed
that,
but
I
think
that
goes
to
every
property,
so
possibly
if
we
can
partner
with
them
and
then
our
city
source
letter
that
goes
out
I'd
like
to
see
that
in
there
also.
But
I
think
this
is
a
great
idea.
I
know
it's
worked
well
in
some
of
the
areas,
and
I
appreciate
you
guys
serving
so
diligently
over
the
past
few
years
with
this,
the
three
of
you
so
thank
you.
K
I
was
actually
at
a
tree
planting
on
42nd
street
this
weekend
and
that
that's
one
of
the
areas
that
I
had
used.
The
block
grant
challenge
this
past
year
and
when
you
talk
with
the
neighbors
there
I
mean
they
they've,
seen
an
immediate
impact
and
it's
it's
gotten
more
folks
engaged
from
a
neighborhood
perspective
and
more
folks
investing
and
taking
steps
to
improve,
improve
their
properties
and
and
doing
so
collectively.
So
I
think
it's.
C
A
J
Thank
you
mayor.
I
think
again,
we've
had
a
lot
of
conversation
on
how
can
we
help
the
houseless
population
and
I
think
this
looks
like
it
could
be
a
very
strong
project,
and
I
want
to
thank
anyone
for
coming
forward.
I
know
we
don't
know
what
the
amount
is
yet,
but
I
think
it
has
a
lot
of
components
that
many
of
us
would
be
very
supportive
of,
and
I
look
forward
to
the
final
project.
A
C
Coffee
with
russ
frazier
bannon
on
friday-
and
he
gave
me
quite
a
few
of
the
details-
it
looks
like
a
very
exciting
project.
It's
one
of
the.
If
they
can
do
it,
you
know
we're
in
the
early
stages
right
now
they
still
haven't
purchased
the
property,
but
according
to
russ,
there
is
a
good
chance
that
the
owner
has
pretty
much
extinguished
his
working
career
there
and
wants
to
return
back
to
england.
C
So
there
it's
pretty
good
chance
that
they're
going
to
be
able
to
buy
it
about
the
only
two
things
that
they
have
to
do
is
a
sprinkler
system
and
they're
going
to
do
some
work
in
the
restroom.
So
it's
pretty
exciting
to
hear
they're
going
to
it's
going
to
be.
They
hope
to
have
it
to
be
a
one-stop
shop
and
hopefully
get
people
the
homeless,
people
that
are
out
there.
It's
on
a
bus
route,
so
there's
a
positive
there.
C
They
can
get
them
trained,
get
them
their
skills
back
up,
provide
any
needed
treatment
that
that
has
to
go
on.
It
is
almost
like
a
one-stop
shop,
so
I
agree
with
connie.
I
think
this
is
a
great
opportunity
here
and
it's
not
too
far
from
the
place
that
they
originally
want
to
do
over
there
on
the
corner
of
the
merle
hay
and
the
entrance
house,
I'm
going
to
support
that
as
well
connie.
Thank
you
all.
A
H
Yeah
I
mean
I
just
wanted
people
to
be
able
to
have
speaking
time
on
this.
I
can
give
a
comment
that
it
looks
good
and
we're
excited
to
see
that
this
is
happening.
It's
yeah.
We
just
need
to
see
more
stuff
like
this
happening
in
the
city,
I'm
glad
to
see
that
it's
it's
starting
somewhere.
This
is
a
good
starting
point.
C
C
A
B
D
A
J
Again,
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
this.
This
is
something
that
I
worked
on
when
I
was
on
school
board
for
implementing
something
for
the
school
district,
and
I
know
we've
had
a
lot
of
discussion
with
this
in
the
city.
I
I
don't
know
if
all
the
details
have
been
finalized
100,
but
I
know
that
conversation
has
come
up
with
cci
and
the
racial
justice
team
about
getting
more
employees
living
in
the
city.
L
Yeah
absolutely
council,
member
bose,
and
we
can-
I
can
share
that
with
with
the
school
district,
as
you
mentioned,
this
is
this
has
been
in
the
works
for
about
two
years
and
early
on.
We
had
repeat
conversations
with
the
school
district
and
and
how
we
might
design
it.
So
they
were
where
the
front
end
of
those
conversations
and
we'll
get
back
with
them
with
where
we're
at
today.
B
A
E
L
L
L
That's
a
few
weeks
away
from
being
completed,
and
then
there
is
an
obligation
to
pay
our
percentage
of
of
the
annual
cost
of
that
new
organization.
The
central
iowa
water
trails
and
that
cost
is
roughly
142
000
and
the
future
year
cost
will
be
determined
by
the
board
as
it
gets
established
here
in
in
this
summer.
A
But
I
want
to
say
that,
given
the
reception
that
des
moines
got
not
only
locally
but
nationally,
given
the
the
olympic
trials
of
our
the
the
do
contest
of
skateboarding,
it
really
was
interesting
and
looked
at
at
a
future.
And
I
think
that
as
we
that
event
took
place
along
the
river
and
the
amenities,
the
river
and
the
des
moines
river
and
the
the
raccoon.
A
For
so
many
years
and
decades.
The
city
turned
their
back
on
the
river,
and
I
think
that
we
now
look
at
it
as
such,
an
amenity
and
an
opportunity
to
for
people
to
not
only
boat
on
it
but
paddle
on
it
and
really
have
a
great
experience.
So
working
with
every
so
many
of
our
partners
in
the
region.
I
think
is
a
very
positive
step.
M
M
For
about
the
last
year
year
and
a
half
on
getting
this
put
together,
the
design
has
been
modeled
and
found
to
fit
within
our
levee
design.
We
weren't
we
weren't
required
to
redesign
our
levees,
so
that
was
good
news
on
our
side.
They
worked
very
hard
to
to
minimize
that
impact
to
fit
within
whatever
area
that
we
could
allow
within
our
levee
design.
So
we
are
prepared
to
recommend
going
forward
with
this
portion,
it's
time
to
submit
to
the
corps
of
engineers
for
final
approval
as
the
design
progresses.
M
K
Yeah,
well,
I
I'd
be
happy
to
to
move
items
42
a
b
and
c.
You
know
mayor,
as
you
said.
I
think
this
project
has
tremendous
possibility
for
for
our
community
and
we
want
to
continue
to
be
engaged
with
our
partners
and
to
work
through
the
details
to
to
bring
this
to
reality
in
the
most
successful
way.
We
can
so
I'm
glad
to
to
see
that
we're
continuing
to
make
progress.
K
K
Our
blue
letter
talked
about
the
operational
revenue,
funding,
ongoing
costs
and
reference,
the
the
pro
forma
that
the
water
trails
have
and
I'd
like
to
understand
that
piece
of
this
a
little
bit
better
understand
the
assumptions
the
number
of
days
in
the
water,
how
variables
like
weather
and
flooding
and
drought
and
water
quality
all
play
into
that.
I
I
know
we've
seen.
D
D
I've
I've,
I've
pushed
that
and-
and
I
will
continue
to
to
work
diligently
on
trying
to
to
get
that
cap
in
there,
because
I
think
it's
very
important
as
far
as
the
performa
goes,
that
is
going
to
be
a
difficult
one
and
a
good
thing
that
there
is
going
to
be
an
endowment
portion
of
it
in
there.
That
will
have
to
look
at
some
of
the
things
that
you
focused
on,
and
I
know
that
we
can't
put
that
on
the
taxpayers
of
the
city
of
des
moines.
D
D
A
C
A
A
A
That
one
was
continued
from
our
last
meeting
and
we
will
hear
from
the
parties
in
interest
first
and
then
the
general
public.
The
parties
in
interest
again
are
only
those
the
applicant
for
the
rezoning
and
those
persons
living
within
250
feet
of
the
property
to
be
re-zoned,
to
whom
the
city
sent
a
a
notice.
A
We
are
asking
for
only
those
who
haven't
spoken
on
this
matter
and
only
for
new
information
that
hasn't
been
presented
to
the
council.
During
that
previous
hearing,
the
remainder
of
those
hearings
this
evening,
any
interested
person
may
make
germaine
comments
and
not
to
exceed
one
minute
per
person
to
a
maximum
of
five
minutes.
So
let's
go
ahead
and
get
started,
and
our
first
item
is
item
43.
K
A
B
B
A
E
H
A
All
right,
our
next
item
is
46..
This
is
our
hearing
item
and
it's
on
a
request
from
fairway
stores,
inc
matt
heath
is
the
officer
for
property
at
27,
23
41st
place
to
amend
plan
dsm,
creating
our
tomorrow
future
land
use
classification
from
low
density,
residential
within
neighborhood
node
to
a
community
mixed
use
within
a
neighborhood
node,
and
to
rezone
from
n

to
a
limited
mx3
mixed-use
district
to
allow
off-site
parking
and

be
developed
in
conjunction
with
a
limited
retail

A
This
item
was
continued
from
may
10th
of
2021
a
is
the
first
consideration
of
the
ordinance
above
and
b
is
a
final
consideration.
The
ordinance
above
the
waiver
is
requested
by
garrett
s,
picklab
epa
secretary
and
general
counsel
for
fairway
stores
inc
and
requires
six
votes
again.
This
is
a
zoning
item
and
we're
going
to
first
ask
for
the
parties
in
interest
that
would
be
the
applicant
in
those
persons
living
within
that
250
feet,
we'll
see.
If
the
is
there,
someone
representing
the
applicant
on
this
evening.
A
I
I
Okay,
thank
you,
mr
mayor
members
of
council,
like
I
said
kobe,
pritchard,
fairway
stores
7158
street
through
in
iowa.
I
think
on
the
call
also
I
have
tim
west
who
who
was
with
us
on
the
meeting
on
the
10th
with
snyder
associates,
who
is
our
architect
and
first
off
just
a
quick.
Thank
you
for
your
support
and
consideration
following
the
last
council
meeting,
I'm
gonna
keep
this
fairly
brief.
I
think
everyone
fully
kind
of
understands
the
project
at
this.
I
At
this
point-
and
I
thought
kind
of
the
best
way
to
move
forward
is
talk
about,
what's
happened
since
the
last
meeting
and
that's
the
reason
why
I'm
pulling
this
up
today.
So
what
you're
looking
at
is
kind
of
an
updated,
exhibit
site
plan
which
is
going
to
show
a
few
changes,
and
I
just
thought
it'd
be
most
beneficial
to
just
show:
what's
changed
since
the
continuation,
so.
I
Over
the
last
two
weeks,
we've
worked
hard
with
staff
to
put
forth
a
number
of
conditions,
and
the
intent
here
is
just
to
work
with
staff
and
figure
out
ways
that
we
can
improve
both
the
site
plan
and
just
look
closer
at
the
concerns
that
we
heard
at
last
meeting.
So
the
first
condition
that
was
talked
about
and
which
we
brought
forward
in
a
rezoning
ordinance
is
the
commercial
truck
traffic.
I
So
as
you're
looking
here,
we
have
added
two
signage
points,
both
into
the
property
to
be
rezoned
and
also
at
the
address
to
show
no
commercial
traffic
and
prohibiting
that
from
entering
or
exiting
this
portion
of
the
property
and
the
intent.
There
is
just
to
obviously
keep
that
traffic
off
the
41st
priest
41st
place
access
point.
I
Secondly,
was
the
setback
requirement
that
got
brought
forward
and
the
difference
that
you
see
here,
it's
kind
of
hard
to
tell,
but
the
condition
read
parking
shall
not
extend
further
west
and
the
west
facade
of
the
house
of
the
adjoining
lot
to
the
south.
So
this
property
down
here
and
what
we
did
here
was
comply
with
that
condition
and
remove
three
stalls.
I
One
two
and
then
three
and
what
that
does
is
just
also
add
some
sort
of
insulation
to
this
41st
street
place
access
point,
giving
some
more
room
separate
from
this
residential
road
and,
lastly,
also
concentrating
on
this
access
point.
We've
added
paving
to
help
influence
the
traffic
that
it
enters
and
exit
this
piece
of
the
property
where
we're
also
going
to
be
adding
two
pieces
of
signage
here
and
here,
and
also
the
paving
here
to
allow
no
left-hand
turns
obviously
discouraging
anyone
from
driving
down
the
road.
I
So
once
we
got
this,
exhibit
we
brought
this
to
this
property
owner
and
this
property
owner
and
we
walk
walk
through
these
conditions,
in
addition
to
the
site
plan
and
after
we
did
that,
I
feel
that
city
staff,
fairway
and
also
those
most
affected
feel
more
comfortable
with
with
the
direction
we're
going.
I
hope
we
we
see
their
support
tonight
and
that's
kind
of
what
we've
been
working
on
to
get
everybody
at
a
better
comfort
level
to
move
this
forward.
I
E
Oh,
thank
you,
mayor
county.
I
can't
quite
tell
from
this
drawing
where
what,
if
there's
a
bike
lane
that
that
still
parallels
eastbound
on
urbandale
avenue,
it
looks
like
it
drops
off
before
it
gets
to
the
gets
to
the
intersection,
but
I
can't
well.
I
guess
the
our
drawings
are
not
up
on
our
screen
anymore,
but
can
can
someone
from?
Can
someone
from
engineering
respond
to
that
question?.
I
P
Good
evening,
mr
mayor
and
members
of
council,
my
name
is
tim
west
with
snyder
and
associates
we're
the
civil
engineer
and
landscape
architect
for
the
project,
we're
not
making
any
changes
to
the
bike
lane.
You
can
see
it
slightly
dashed
in
there
if
you
were
to
zoom
in
along
that
curb
line
that
were
improving
currently
there's
an
existing
turn
lane
that
exists
between
the
sidewalk
and
is
part
of
urbandale
avenue.
P
We're
closing
that,
based
on
the
city's
request
to
incorporate
more
green
space
in
there
and
build
a
new
curb
and
that
dashed
line,
that's
just
above
there
that
says
concrete
kind
of
above
it.
That
is
the
pavement
marking
for
the
the
existing
bike
lane,
which
is
going
to
be
unaffected.
It
will
be
in
the
same
spot
as
it
is
today.
P
E
A
Q
You
very
much
appreciate
it.
I've
learned
a
new
word
in
this
process
nimby
and
I'm
sure
there
are
people
that
are
using
that
to
describe
me
and
I'm
okay
with
that.
What
I'm
not
okay
is
that
my
neighbors
and
I
have
been
left
out
a
majority
of
conversations
throughout
this
process.
Those
of
us
most
affected
by
this
decision
and
those
of
us
who
know
this
portion
of
the
neighborhood
best
have
often
been
dismissed
to
date.
There
are
two
entities
who
have
not
dismissed
us.
Q
Q
Even
one
of
the
commissioners
in
support
of
the
rezone
added
the
additions
of
the
front
yard
setback
and
the
restrictions
of
commercial
traffic
on
41st
place.
These
are
imperative
to
make
this
situation
work
after
the
last
council
meeting,
I
took
a
step
back
and
I
thought
about
what
is
needed
in
this
process.
I
heard
several
members
of
fairway's
team
say
they
wanted
to
be
good
neighbors,
so
I
reached
out
to
start
that
conversation
in
the
past
two
weeks.
Q
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
kobe
fairway's
representative
several
times
he
met
with
us
and
we
were
able
to
discuss
our
concerns,
give
input
into
possible
changes
and
kobe
took
those
changes
back
to
his
team
to
see
if
they
were
feasible
at
this
stage
in
the
process.
That
really
meant
a
lot.
Q
While
I
wish
we'd
been
part
of
the
conversation
from
the
inception,
I
believe
fairway
was
under
the
impression
that
our
input
was
being
sought
by
the
neighborhood
association.
It
was
not
after
seeing
the
changes.
Fairway
has
made
to
the
site
plan
based
on
the
suggestions
of
the
pnz
commissioners
and
in
consideration
of
the
neighbors
bordering
the
parking
lot.
Q
I
do
definitely
feel
more
comfortable.
We
will
try
to
mitigate
the
impact
on
our
street
as
much
as
they
can.
My
issue
has
always
been
the
safety
of
the
walkers
and
bike
riders
who
use
urbandale
avenue.
I've
heard
several
times
from
people
involved
in
the
process
that
there's
an
expectation
that
neighbors
will
walk
and
bike
to
the
store,
as
well
as
drive
there,
and
this
is
a
good
thing,
which
is
why
we
also
need
to
ensure
the
pathways
to
walk
and
ride
continue
to
be
as
safe
as
we
can
make
them
to
do
this.
Q
Fairway
currently
proposes
the
signage
at
at
the
exit
to
deter
those
left
turns
onto
41st
place
and
they've
assured
me.
They've
had
much
success
with
it
and
I'm
very
happy
to
hear
this.
It
then
stands
to
reason
there
could
be
do
not
enter
signage
in
the
same
place,
and
that
makes
the
access
point
on
urbandale
avenue
the
main
entrance
to
give
cyclists
fewer
conflict
points,
as
was
mentioned
as
a
concern
in
the
traffic
portion
of
the
pnz
staff
report.
Q
A
R
N
R
A
little
disappointed
to
see
if
fairway
didn't
have
that
ready
for
tonight,
because
my
understanding
was
that
was
discussed
and
relatively
positively
received
by
them
before.
If
that
were
an
exit.
Only.
That
would
pretty
much
prevent
traffic
from
the
rest
of
the
portion
of
41st
place,
which
has
been
a
big
improvement
and.
R
R
I
you
know,
I
think
we
all
want
fairway
to
succeed.
So
we
want
cars
to
be
turning
in
there
to
to
give
their
business
there
so,
and
that
in
itself
is
is.
It
is
what
it
is,
but
I
think
we
need
to
do
more
to
protect
the
people
biking
in
that
bike
lane
and
to
me
we're
doing
two
things
to
make
it
more
dangerous
with
what
we
just
saw
on
screen.
A
S
O
A
S
S
But
I
just
wanted
to
say
that,
with
the
new
information
and
with
the
inclusion
of
the
neighbors
in
the
area,
I
think
that's
been
a
good
process,
but
I
would
like
to
see
that
with
there
are
continuing
concerns
with
the
neighbors
in
the
area.
So
I
would
like
to
see:
46a
be
passed
and
46b
be
rejected.
Do
not
pass
the
final
consideration
of
the
ordinance,
as
there
are
still
there's
still
more
discussion
to
be
had
and
more
solutions
to
be
brought
forward
for
the
issues
that
were
presented
by
teresa
and
dan.
S
So
I
would
request
that
at
least
two
people
on
the
council
vote
now,
because
it
requires
six
votes.
I
know
that
carl
vos,
you
are
concerned
about
the
bike
lane
and
I'm
sure
that
there
are
other
people
in
the
council
who
are
concerned
about
the
residence
concerns
and
since
fairway
has
been
a
good
partner
in
discussing
these
things,
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
me
continue
this
on
to
the
next
meeting.
Thank
you.
A
A
T
Two
people
vote.
No,
I
would
I
was
hoping
I
could
get
some
clarification
on
why
a
meat
market
wants
to
go
up
in
this
neighborhood
when
there's
been
continuous
ass
from
people
who
need
actual
like
a
good
grocery
store
in
this
neighborhood,
also
josh.
If
you
could
answer
to
why,
I
know
you
love
sustainability,
why
why
you
know
meets
impact
on
the
environment
and
why
we
would
even
think
about
putting
up
something
called
a
meat
market
in
this
neighborhood.
U
Hey,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
awesome.
I
just
want
to
definitely
uplift
the
comments
of
leah
indira,
as
well
as
the
two
community
members
who
were
parties
of
interest.
I
think
that
this
this
can
still
be
fixed
and
made
better,
so
I
would
definitely
encourage
you
know
a
little
bit
more
work
being
done
on
this
to
try
to
fix
all
of
the
issues
that
community
members
were
raising,
because
I
think
it's
important
that
council
gets
this
right.
U
I
think
a
lot
of
these
things
that
council
talks
about
like
this
issue
right
here
number
46.
We
need
more
community
input
like,
for
example,
the
things
that
y'all
are
putting
on
the
consent
agenda
are
things
that
we
need
to
be
talking
about
like
the
water
trails
project.
We
need
to
be
talking
about
that
stuff.
Why
is
the
public
not
allowed
to
talk
about
those
issues,
because
I,
for
one,
don't
support
it,
but
I
wasn't
able
to
even
voice
my
opinions
on
that.
U
So
I
think
again,
like
community
input,
is
important
on
item
46.
I
think
you
also
listen
to
the
community
and
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
and
figure
out
what
other
solutions
can
be
implemented
here,
to
make
sure
that
this
is
really
a
a
good
project
and
something
that
has
the
full
approval
and
the
backing
and,
of
course,
prioritizes
safety
in
the
community.
O
A
V
This
is
kt,
I
use
say
them
pronouns.
I
want
to
uplift
indira
leah
jalen
and
the
two
others
ask
I'm
really
asking
you
to
have
two
people
vote.
No
one
of
my
biggest
concerns
is
the
bike
lane
issue.
I
don't
know
how
many
of
you
on
this
council
would
be.
Okay
with
you
pull
this
through.
You
vote
it
through
and
then,
like
a
few
months
after
it
opens
bam.
Somebody
gets
ran
over
by
a
car
because
of
that
bike.
Lane
issue
I
just
want
to
throw
that
out
there
for
you
yeah.
C
If
none
mayor
I'll
be
happy
to
move
item
46,
this
has
been
a
year-long
process.
I
think
hearing
from
therese
speaks
volumes
for
the
amount
of
work
that
fairway
has
put
in
on
this,
and
even
after
the
vote
today,
fairway
has
been
and
always
will
be,
a
good
neighbor
wherever
they
go.
So
if
there's
extra
comments
or
ideas
that
teresa
or
anybody
wants
to
share
the
nearby
neighbors
fairway
has
an
open
and
willing
ear.
C
W
A
All
right,
we
look
forward
to
fairways
new
presence
up
there
and,
as
was
pointed
out,
we
do
need
to
to
work
on
public
safety
around
the
bike
lanes
and
in
grass
egress.
So
thank
you
for
continuing
to
stay
engaged.
Let's
move
on
to
item
47,
which
is
on
the
proposition
to
authorize
an
amendment
to
lease
agreement
with
the
uss
hussman
llc
for
the
rental
of
warehouse
space
at
301,
southeast
8th
street,
for
temporary
use
by
the
public
works
department.
A
A
A
U
Hey
speaking
on
item
47
warehouse
space,
I'm
renting
that
to
the
public
works
department,
I
think
that's
interesting.
Warehouse
space
is
important.
I
think
that
space
is
something
that
is
is
really
important
for
folks,
one
where
one
place
where
it
is
really
important
is
when
someone's
having
a
seizure.
But
we
know
that
mike
fong,
who
y'all
apparently
approve
of
being
the
best.
A
H
Adam
my
name
is
adam
callum
and
I
use
him
pronouns
yeah,
I'm
kind
of
curious
what
this
warehouse
space
is
going
to
be
used
for.
Just
because
like
why
we're
getting
temporary
warehouse
space,
if
it's
probably
something
that
we're
going
to
need
for
a
long
amount
of
time,
especially
because
we're
tearing
down
warehouses
in
in
some
areas,
just
kind
of
feels
weird.
V
X
Hi
I'm
curious
about
everything
else
that
has
been
going
on
with
these
public
comments,
but
I'll
move
on.
I
think
it's
very
interesting
that
there
are
other
unoccupied
warehouse
spaces
in
des
moines
and
instead
of
asking,
for
I
mean
using
some
of
these
resources
to
help
fight
the
homeless
problem
in
des
moines,
which
I
mean
was
a
real
problem
last
winter,
because
several
people
died
due
to
the
cold.
This.
X
A
Y
A
A
A
J
A
O
L
A
A
Z
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
I
wanted
to
speak
to
item
40.
as
I
do
believe
that
this
movement
will
only
disproportionately
impact
those
that
are
already
put
in
danger
by
police
preference.
What
you
have
done
essentially
in
this
movement,
if
you
do
move
forward
with
it,
is
make
court
avenue
a
safe
space.
Only
for
white
cisgender
straight
people
as
well
as
other
as
other
members
of
our
community,
cannot
safely
access
that
space
for
fear
of
police
brutality,
especially
as
we
continue
to
see
police
violence
in
our
community.
Z
We
cannot
continue
to
create
spaces
in
des
moines
that
are
inaccessible
to
folks,
as
there
are
already
heavily
surveilled
and
unsafe
spaces
in
the
city.
This
is
not
what
I
want
taxpayer
money
used
for,
but
rather
the
abolition
of
the
des
moines
police
department
in
relation
to
the
rezoning
for
fairway.
I
echo
the
concerns
of
other
folks
that
have
spoken
that
city
council
members
often
are
very
concerned
with
commercial
interests,
but
take
no
interest
in
housing,
homeless,
folks,
defunding,
the
extremely
violent
des
moines
police
department,
or
upholding
folks's
right
to
speak.
Z
Additionally,
because
I
was
slated
to
speak
in
the
last
city
council
meeting,
but
wasn't
able
to
because
of
the
change
in
speaking
time,
I
wanted
to
revisit
this
change
and
give
my
input.
I
am
amazed
by
the
folks
that
have
come
out
this
evening
to
speak
at
city
council.
These
people
have
made
me
feel
more
empowered
to
engage
with
people
in
positions
more
than
any
other
person
on
council.
I
am
frustrated
by
the
comments
accompanying
the
change
of
speaking
time
as
a
way
of
fixing
messing
up
the
flow.
Z
Z
AA
Hi,
my
name
is
cora
egerman
and
there
are
a
number
of
things
that
I'm
concerned
about
with
the
way
that
city
council
is
run
and
the
utter
lack
of
concern
for
the
people
you
all
are
supposed
to
be
representing
my
dog
agrees.
Clearly
holding
these
meetings
virtually
has
made
them
accessible
to
far
more
people
than
could
otherwise
attend
and
with
in-person
meetings
starting
up
again,
there
needs
to
be
an
ongoing
virtual
option
as
well.
AA
I
know
you've
heard
this
before
from
plenty
of
sincerely
concerned
residents,
but
officers,
michael
fong
and
sean
o'neill
need
to
be
fired,
not
made
de-escalation
trainers.
You
cannot
honestly
believe
that
someone
who
hog-tied
and
sat
on
a
man
who
was
having
a
seizure
is
an
appropriate
choice
for
leading
the
escalation
training,
much
less
remain
employed
with
that
said,
I
want
to
uplift
the
back.
The
black
demands
fire
scott
sanders,
fire
dana
wingert
fire,
all
the
mpd
officers
with
violent
records
act
on
the
cannabis
task
force
legalize
decriminalize.
A
These
are
it's
an
independent
organization
that
focuses
on
critical
issues
of
policing
and
they
would
were
founded
in
1976
and
they
have
identified
best
practices
on
fundamental
issues
and
so
we're
very
encouraged
to
bring
our
next
training
and
which
will
be
run
by
that
particular
group,
but
any
rate
that
isn't
ready
to
put
on
the
council
agenda.
But
I
think
that
the
general
public
should
know
that.
X
Yes,
thank
you
for
that
neoliberal
announcement
frankie,
but
I'm
from
iowa
city
and
grew
up
visiting
des
moines
several
weekends
a
year
since
I
was
a
child,
I
always
thought
I
would
move
there
not
anymore
the
terrible
things
that
the
city
government
government
promotes
and
its
reluctance
to
change
have
completely
torn
away
that
veneer
of
progressivism
leave
the
public
fridge
alone.
The
way
you
have
strangled
public
comment
is
a
disgrace
and
a
stain
in
the
pages
of
municipal
political
history
in
this
country.
X
I
want
to
support
the
back
the
back.
The
black
demands,
fire,
michael
wong,
sean
o'neill
and
other
city
officials
who
are
clearly
racist
and
routinely
violent
to
the
public.
They
serve
bong,
isn't
even
qualified
to
be
dog
catcher,
let
alone
a
de-escalation
trainer.
We
remove
parizek
as
the
mpd
spokesperson.
X
He
has
been
found
to
be
a
liar
by
the
american
court
system
and
even
his
family,
hates
him
remove
dana
weiner
as
dmpd
chief
he's
a
racist
who
believes
that
minority
residents
thrive
best
under
his
boot,
prevent
dmpd
from
enforcing
archaic
laws
regarding
marijuana,
prohibition,
tear
dmpd
apart
break
by
brick
and
replace
it
with
a
system
that
doesn't
terrorize
bypoc
residents
and
others
pushing
for
change.
Scott
sanders
you
suck
deborah
howe
and
brenda
mcdonald
are
apologists
for
violent
rapists
or
racists
and
embarrass
all
of
des
moines.
Their
public
comments
are
routinely
despicable.
X
If
council
doesn't
feel
the
need
make
the
changes
needed
to
free
your
constituents
from
police
violence.
These
smoldering
justices
will
ignite
more
than
they
already
have,
and
people
the
people
swearing
at
you
in
public
comment
will
be
the
least
of
your
problems.
Lastly,
council,
I
don't
know
any
any
of
you
jokers
personally,
but
there
is
one
thing
I
can
say
definitively
your
horrible
politic
policy
decisions
are
harming
the
des
moines
community
and
y'all
are
some
pretty
awful
people.
Also
gilgado,

don't
even
live
in

you
represent.

Carrie
gosnell
she
her
hers
from
dsm
surge
as
a
fellow
white
person.
I
feel
responsible
for
naming
the
ways
in
which
white
supremacy
shows
up
at
these
city.
Council
meetings,
I've
emailed
you
teammate
o'coon's,
15
characteristics
of
white
supremacy,
and
I
hope
you
read
it
and
reflect
on
it.
White
supremacy,
values
a
sense
of
urgency
over
taking
time
to
think
long-term
and
considerable
consequences
using
officers
with
a
history
of
excessive
force
complaint
sleep,
deescalation
training
demonstrates
caring
more
about
checking
a
box
rather
than
actually
accomplishing
the
goal.
G
Additionally,
you
rush
through
these
meetings
seeming
to
care
about
finishing
quickly
rather
than
listening
to
the
concerns
of
the
public.
These
are
acts
of
white
supremacy,
white
supremacy
is
defensive,
of
the
organizational
structure,
creates
processes
to
protect
their
power
and
views
critics
as
threatening,
inappropriate
or
rude
your
attempt
to
maintain
power
and
order
in
these
meetings
with
your
mainness
and
public
speaking
rules.
Silence
is
the
community.
This
is
white,
supremacy,
white,
supremacy,
fears,
open
conflict
and
people
in
power.
Try
to
ignore
it
or
run
from
it.
G
You
have
completely
avoided
holding
scott
sanders
and
chief
winger
accountable,
winger
didn't
attend
the
marijuana
task.
Force
meetings
can't
enforce
anything.
The
task
force
recommended
and
was
the
one
who
appointed
fong
and
o'neill's
trainers
in
the
first
place.
Yet
you
do
nothing.
This
is
white,
supremacy,
white,
supremacy,
values,
paternalism,
those
with
power
think
that
they
are
capable
of
making
decisions
for
and
in
the
interests
of
those
without
power,
even
though
they
don't
understand
their
viewpoint
or
experience.
G
Your
refusal
to
institute
a
community
review
board
demonstrates
that
you
don't
think
about
that.
You
don't
think
you
need
anyone's
perspective
in
order
to
do
what
is
right,
that
is,
white,
supremacy,
white
supremacy,
values,
the
right
to
comfort
and
scapegoats.
Those
who
do
who
cause
discomfort
shutting
down
a
community
fridge,
because
a
neighbor
is
uncomfortable
as
an
act
of
white
supremacy.
G
A
AB
AB
I
can't
imagine
why
you
didn't
remove
these
men
from
this
team,
especially
in
light
of
last
week's
revelation
that
in
2019
less
than
two
years
ago,
sergeant
michael
fong
hogtained
a
man
experiencing
a
medical
emergency.
He
had
another
officer
then
laid
on
top
of
the
man
who
was
having
a
seizure
until
he
turned
blue
and
a
medic
instructed
the
officers
to
get
off
of
him,
so
he
could
breathe
even
if
this
man
had
been
drunk
as
they
speculated.
This
is
violence.
AB
This
isn't
an
officer
who
puts
the
safety
of
des
moines
residents
first
or
an
officer
ready
to
lead
others
in
doing
so.
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
you're.
Finally,
after
months
of
comments,
looking
at
removing
these
two
violent
officers,
the
external
training
team's
funding,
if
it
comes
to
pass,
must
come
from
the
existing
budget
for
ammo
and
military-grade
gear.
Rather
than
giving
the
des
moines
police
department
additional
taxpayer
dollars,
you
are
elected
to
be
the
voice
of
the
communities
you
serve.
AB
Yet,
when
I
hit
two
minutes,
I
will
be
immediately
immediately
muted
and
you
won't
respond
to
my
concerns
or
answer
my
questions.
You
have
been
doing
and
will
do
the
same
to
the
other
19
people
who
will
be
allowed
to
speak
tonight,
not
to
mention
the
many
others
that
you
have
moved
to
later
weeks
and
that
are.
You
are
not
letting
comment
during
the
meetings.
You
will
continue
to
sit
in
silence.
While
people
continue
to
ask
you
for
solutions,
we
keep
coming
because
our
concerns
are
being
ignored.
AB
Aside
from
mr
mandelbaum,
who
wrote
an
editorial,
we
want
statements
on
the
record
like
this
and
we
want
action
above
all,
ignoring
the
public
isn't
going
to
make
us
go
away.
Changing
the
rules
isn't
going
to
make
us
go
away.
We
want
to
be
heard
and
we
want
action
and
we
want
violent
officers
removed.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
A
AC
AC
I
live
at
10,
11
42nd
street
here
in
des
moines,
and
I
have
watched
the
city
council
over
the
last
two
years,
grapple
with
a
lot
of
racism
and
police
violence,
shootings
downtown,
and
I
look
to
iowa
city
and
and
cedar
rapids,
and
I
see
what
they're
doing
with
you
know
implementing
what
has
been
asked
of
them.
A
citizen
review
board
a
board
like
this
would
have
been
able
to
help
you
and
the
city
manager
navigate
this
de-escalation
thing
all
of
you
are
white
and
I'm
also
white.
I
don't
have.
AC
I
hope
I
don't
have
to
tell
you
that
without
a
voice
of
a
person
of
color
on
your
city
council,
you
are
at
a
disadvantage
when
it
comes
to
dealing
with
violence
and
racism
towards
people
of
color.
I
think
it's
imperative
that
you
I
I
I
would
really
like
you
to
fire
those
two
officers.
I
maybe
you
read
my
letter
to
the
editor
of
the
register.
They
have
cost
the
city
over
a
million
dollars
combined
and
to
give
them
the
opportunity
to
have
a
position
of
power
where
they
are
training.
AC
AD
Dirk
is
being
kicked
up,
accusations
that
they
started
it
and
a
refusal
to
look
at
the
issues
with
the
eyes
of
the
one
with
whom
we
disagree
has
led
us
to
where
we
are
today.
However,
when
you
look
up,
the
word
mean
in
the
dictionary
you
will
find.
One
of
the
definitions
is
an
average
between
two
extremes.
AD
Our
city
deserves
and
expects
elected
leaders
who
are
mean,
as
in
occupying
a
middle
point,
between
the
extremes.
Those
at
both
extremes
need
to
be
heard
by
our
elected
leaders.
A
uniform
badge
and
weapon
should
not
wield
more
power
than
a
single
voice.
Speaking
two
minutes
or
less
at
the
end
of
a
city
council
meeting
one
of
the
most
important
weapons
I
wielded
against
meanness
with
my
middle
school
students
was
my
undivided
attention.
AD
A
A
AE
AE
At
the
same
time,
linda
westergard
had
a
cop
propaganda
piece
published
in
the
des
moines
register,
using
the
same
language
and
referencing,
a
silent
group
of
concerned
citizens
who
support
police.
Oddly
we've
never
heard
from
these
people.
They
haven't
signed
up
in
the
hundreds
to
speak
up
at
city
council
meetings,
no
marches
of
thousands
of
people
through
des
moines
streets.
They
haven't
organized
sustained
access,
civil
disobedience
or
endured
brutality
from
militarized
police,
using
weapons
banned
in
war
and
putting
their
life
and
livelihood
on
the
line
through
illegal
detainment
and
false
charges.
AE
What
do
you
think
it
does
for
public
trust
when
you
hide
evidence
and
ignore
us
to
say
that
you
can't
hear
our
voices
or
that
they
don't
represent?
A
majority
means
you
don't
care
about
black
people?
You
don't
care
about
poor
people,
don't
care
about
gay
non-binary
people,
immigrants
or
anyone
who
isn't
white
and
cisgendered.
AE
A
AF
Okay
hi,
my
name
is
stephanie
cardwell
pronoun,
she
her
I'm
a
resident
of
the
beaverdale
neighborhood,
and
I
have
a
few
things.
I
would
like
to
say
first,
limiting
comet
times
of
your
constituents
voices
limits
their
voices.
You
need
to
do
more
listening
to
the
community
and
not
shutting
them
down.
Second,
you
need
to
figure
out
a
way
to
keep
the
community
bridges
going
and
get
them
accepted
within
code,
because
the
extent
of
hunger
in
our
community
is
devastating
and
we
need
to
feed
people.
AF
Third,
you
need
to
help
out
with
the
rising
danger
of
hate
crimes
that
are
posed,
posing
against
our
bipartisan
aapi
neighbors.
I
have
a
friend
whose
family
was
recently
targeted
and
it
is
devastating
to
them
and
their
entire
extended
family
and
they
are
very
concerned
for
their
safety.
And
finally,
I
echo
the
others
who
have
previously
said
this,
but
michael
fong
needs
to
go
not
only
as
de-escalation
trainer
but
from
dmpd
entirely.
AF
A
N
Okay,
thank
you
good
evening,
lori
young,
with
cci's
racial
justice,
justice
team.
Tonight
I
want
to
share
my
concerns
about
the
des
moines
police
department.
Recently,
the
des
moines
register
reported
that
another
excessive
force
lawsuit
is
being
bought
against
the
city
and
the
police
department
because
of
the
actions
of
sergeant
michael
fong
in
a
2019
incident.
This
is
the
third
excessive
force
charge
for
sergeant
fong.
N
Obviously,
if
it
works
to
have
a
drake
university,
professor
teach
implicit
bias
training.
Why?
Wouldn't
it
work
to
have
an
expert
rather
than
a
repeat
offender
teach
de-escalation.
For
so
long.
I
have
felt
that
maybe
the
reason
this
council
has
not
exercised
its
authority
to
do
what
the
community
is
asking
is
number
one.
You
don't
care
number
two
you're
scared
to
go
against
the
poor
judgment
of
city
manager
sanders
and
chief
winger
and
number
three.
You
lack
the
courage
to
do
the
right
thing.
N
We're
asking
you
to
be
proactive
and
ensure,
on
behalf
of
the
safety
of
all
des
moines
citizens,
that
officers
like
michael
fong
are
held
accountable.
Are
you
going
to
wait
until
mr
fong
seriously
hurts
another
person?
It's
a
shame
that
the
capital
city
of
iowa
is
lagging
behind
other
smaller
cities
in
embracing
real
police
reform.
It's
about
public
safety
council!
N
It's
about
improving
the
community's
trust
in
the
police
and
it's
about
being
fiscally
responsible.
All
these
lawsuits
are
costing
the
taxpayers
money.
We
need
safeguards
in
place
like
a
citizens,
review
board
to
investigate
and
adjudicate
complaints
against
the
police
like
cedar
rapids
has
recently
established.
If
you
don't
lead
with
courage,
you
will
be
replaced.
A
W
Hi
good
morning,
good
evening,
my
name
is
mariela
soma
and
I
live
in
des
moines.
I
would
really
like
to
uphold
all
the
very
eloquent
speakers
who
have
really
been
asking
all
of
you
to
listen.
You
really
need
to
be
to
fire
people
like
michael
thong
and
sean
o'neill.
I
mean
it's
a
disagree.
I
was
heartened
to
hear
that
you
are
actually
going
to
get
a
third
party
to
lead
the
de-escalation
trainings.
I
mean
this
has
to
happen.
W
It
would
also
be
nice
to
hear
the
details
as
a
city
council,
you're
great
at
addressing,
inconveniences
and
annoyances
in
des
moines
you.
You
also
welcome
business
opportunities.
Well
done,
however,
you
are
solely
lacking
in
your
attention
to
the
civil
rights
of
the
muay
residents,
particularly
those
of
our
black
and
brown
fellow
residents.
W
W
A
A
T
AG
A
AG
AG
I'm
sorry
to
hear
that
so
many
people
think
that
everyone
has
not
been
given
a
voice,
because
those
of
us
who
have
been
listening
and
been
involved
for
the
last
six
to
nine
months
knows
that
everyone
has
had
an
opportunity
to
be
heard
when
it
is
time
to
talk
about
our
issues,
not
in
the
middle
of
the
council.
Meeting
to
extend
it
and
the
reason
times
have
had
to
change
is
because
people
do
not
know
how
to
act
accordingly.
AG
AG
AH
AH
AH
I
also
wonder
about
where
is
the
rfp
for
police
collection
of
statistics?
This
action
was
supposed
to
have
been
taken
months
ago
and
without
that
information,
no
one
knows
how
prevalent
racial
profiling
is
just
because
we're
not
counting.
It
doesn't
mean
that
it
doesn't
happen.
We
need
to
know
so.
We
need
to
know
how
to
respond
appropriately
and
why
have
the
ideas
from
the
task
force
on
marijuana
not
been
acted
on?
AH
All
they're
doing
is
collecting
dust
weren't
those
members
bright
enough
for
you
and
then
again,
where's
the
effort
for
creating
a
citizen's
review
board
for
des
moines
police
department
is
an
accountability.
Important-
and
I
don't
know
if
any
of
you
noticed
but
last
meeting
people
people
were
giving
public
comment
were
assigned
letters.
