A
A
All
right
good
afternoon,
everybody
we're
going
to
get
started
with
our
city
council
meeting
right
here
in
a
second.
But
we've
got
a
very
special
Proclamation
here
today,
related
to
Native
American
heritage
month
and
I've
got
Tim
Perkins
who's.
The
commissioner
at
the
state
of
Iowa
office
of
Native
American,
Affairs
and
kind
of
give
us
an
update
on
what's
going
on
and
then
we'll
do
the
proclamation
Tim.
B
B
Even
though
there's
no
reservation
in
Iowa,
we
have
the
muskwaki
settlement
which
they
actually
bought
their
land,
but
people
seem
to
associate
natives
with
reservations
only
and
don't
seem
to
realize
we're
still
around
they're
still
doing
quite
a
bit
for
one
thing:
veterans
natives
serve
the
military
at
a
higher
per
capita
than
anybody,
because
that's
important
to
us
I
myself,
my
in
my
family.
We
have
to
my
dad
me
and
my
brother
and
my
son,
75
years
of
military
service.
B
So
since
we
have
Veterans
Day
in
November
as
well,
I
always
like
to
tie
that
in
one
of
the
things
I'd
like
to
encourage
you
all
and
it's
a
good
chance
to
tell
the
city
in
18
months
is
a
big
event
for
Native.
Americans
are
going
to
try
to
do
a
big
powwow
here
in
Des
Moines
and
establish
it
most.
People
aren't
aware
that
June
1st
2024
will
be
a
hundred
years
that
natives
have
actually
been
citizens
of
the
United
States
and
I
get
the
same
phase
every
time.
B
It's
like
what
but
yeah
so
we're
gonna
acknowledge
that
June,
1st
and
2nd
2024
is
the
plan.
So
anyone
you
know,
as
we
put
information
on
or
any
support,
you
can
give
sponsors
that
type
of
thing,
we'd
appreciate
it
and
be
really
nice
and
again
I'd
like
to
thank
the
mayor
and
the
city
for
this
Proclamation.
A
Just
stand
up
fairly
close,
you
know
we
went
again
all
right.
Our
Proclamation
reads
as
follows:
our
nation
celebrates
the
history
of
the
Americas
and
the
indigenous
peoples
intrinsic
connection
to
the
land,
their
origin
stories
and
their
contribution
to
the
development
of
our
country
and
whereas
president
G.W
Bush
signed
a
joint
Congressional
resolution
designating
November
1990
as
National
American
Indian
Heritage
Month
and
similar
National
proclamations
have
been
issued
every
year
since
1994.
A
Cultural
history,
including
traditional
knowledge,
experience,
labor
technology,
science,
philosophy,
industry
and
art,
as
well
as
their
cultural
belief
system
that
stipulates
indigenous
people
as
protectors
and
stewards
of
our
natural
environment
for
the
benefit
of
all
and
whereas
Des
Moines,
which
currently
is
home
to
nearly
ten
thousand
residents,
that
identify
as
a
American,
Indian
or
Alaska
native,
joins
other
states
and
cities.
Across,
the
Nation
this
month
to
celebrate
and
honor
the
unique
Heritage
of
this
continent's
first
peoples.
A
But
they
look
at
the
Seventh,
Generation
and
I
think
that
we
all
have
to
use
that
as
sort
of
a
guide,
as
we
think
about
the
future
and
the
things
that
we
need
to
do
today
to
protect
our
land.
Our
natural
resources
right
here
in
Iowa,
not
only
here
but
around
the
world,
so
thank
you
for
everything
that
you're
doing-
and
this
is
for
you,
sir.

item
to

December
12
2022
meeting.
A
E
C
A
All
right,
it
takes
us
to
item
55.
I've.
Had
him
55
Zone
request
from
Sheldon
Rooney
is
the
owner
for
property,
located
at
1626
East
Park
Avenue
to
amend
playing
DSM,
creating
our
tomorrow
plan
to
revise
the
future
land,
use
classification
from

District
to
allow

use
of
an
accessory
structure
for
a
motor
vehicle
repair
business.
A
A
E
Honor
I've
I've
had
discussion
with
Sheldon
and
he's
had
a
use
variance
and
he
he
runs
a
very
clean
operation
and
he
wants
to
go
the
route
of
the
board
of
adjustment.
I
think
that's.
The
stat
staff
has
recommended
that.
So
we
have
to
deny
this
request.
So
I
will
move
55
a
to
deny
it,
but
I
would
be
supportive
of
giving
him
a
use.
Variance
he's
been
doing
it
a
while.
He
does
provided
service
and
he
does
have
it
very
clean.
A
A
D
Good
evening
darling,
Armstrong
Ward
2.,
my
biggest
concern
for
Eastern
Boulevard
is
by
East
33rd
Street,
going
to
Four
Mile
Creek,
because
especially
the
sidewalks
for
people
with
disabilities
and
then
those
who
to
have
the
sidewalks
a
little
bit
more
a
little
more
wider
because
sometimes
whenever
people
in
wheelchairs
or
Walkers,
because
the
sidewalks
is
a
little
narrow
and
then
on
the
south
part
of
it
going
down
there.
The
Sidewalk
Ends
at
35th
Street.
But
it
doesn't
go
right
there
to
the
Four
Mile
Creek
by
the
bridge
area.
D
So
just
want
you
to
know
about
that.
So
are
they
going
to
probably
have
a
little
more
type
out
there
from
right
there
by
it's
on
the
south,
like
on
the
Southeast
corner
of
it
going
to
Four
Mile
Creek
because
they
got
the
bridge
there.
But
then
how
will
people
be
able
to
get
access
to
it
because
there's
this
because
they
would
have
to
go
in
the
streets
for
those
in
power
wheelchairs
or
manual
wheelchair
and
then
they
or
they
would
have
to
cross
over.
So
how
they're
going
to
do
something
about
that?

is

and
permission
to

again,
we'll
ask
the
general
public.
If
they'd
like
to
make
any
comments
regarding
the
plans,
the
specifications,
the
form
of

the

G
E
Mr
Mayor,
thank
you.
I
I
thought
it
was
best.
I've
had
a
lot
of
questions
about
31
and
32
over
the
last
day,
or
so
so.
I
thought
it
would
be
best
to
kind
of
clarify
where
we're
at
in
this
project,
where
we'd
like
to
see
this
project
go
first
off
this.
This
agreement
is,
is
not
finalized.
Correct,
Scott,
preliminary
preliminary
terms
that
there's
no
money
exchanged
until
the
project
is
built
is
that
is
that
what
I'm
hearing
as
far
as
the
incentive
right,
okay,
so
I
I,
guess,
go
ahead
as.
J
E
A
J
E
And
the
tax
abatement
is
also
doesn't
go
into
effect
until
years,
so
one
one
thing
that
I
would
like
to
add
Scott
as
you
as
you
move
through
the
terms
first
off.
This
is
a
this
is
an
asset
to
our
community
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
built
correctly.
We
would
like
to
see
an
apprentice
program
for
whoever's
going
to
build.
E
So
if
you
can
work
through
those
terms
with
the
developer,
that
is
just
for
us
to
give
the
the
arpa
funds
I
know
the
tip.
We
probably
can't
do
that,
but
I
I
feel
I
feel
like
that.
We
can
do
that
for
the
for
the
federal
funds
that
we're
going
to
give
out.
That
could
be
part
of
the
the
agreement
that
we
would
like
for
you
to
lay
out.
F
F
That
I
thought
that
we
should
be
looking
at
particularly
for
large
Tiff
agreements
requiring
Apprentice
programs
and
prevailing
wage
for
some
time.
I
think
we
have
the
ability,
that's
wouldn't
be
a
requirement,
so
I
think
we
we
could.
That
is
something
that
we
could
ask
for,
is
a
condition
of
incentives.
F
I'd
be
interested
in
exploring
that
and
getting
that
incorporated
in
this
project,
but
also,
if
that's
something
that
legal
comes
back
and
says
we
can
do
making
that
a
part
of
our
policy
going
forward.
So
folks
know
if
they're
coming
for
incentives
like
this
on
on
large
construction
projects,
that
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
expect,
that
they
do
quality
jobs,
that
they
help
build
our
Workforce
for
the
future
and.
G
H
J
L
L
We
believe
we
can
start
the
construction
by
April
or
Mar
or
may
excuse
April
or
May,
where
we're
at
today
is.
This
is
extremely
important
to
where
we're
going
to
finance
us
with
tax
exempt
bonds,
and
we
have
a
commitment
for
about
100
million
now
just
moved
out
from
96
million
to
100
million
because
of
their
excitement
that
the
city
is
going
to
be
so
highly
involved.
It
allows
us
to
buy
the
Project's
cost
down.
L
The
last
piece
that
needs
to
fit
is
a
subordinate
debt
to
finish
that
project,
but
we
couldn't
even
offer
subordinate
down
until
we
knew
what
the
a
Bonds
were
going
to
look
like,
which
we
just
found
out
on
Monday.
So
between
now
and
the
next
couple
of
months
where
we
still
have
to
place
about
20
million
dollars,
subordinate
debt,
we
have
five
or
six
very
interested
institutional
organizations,
but
it
just
all
falls
in
order.
Okay,
okay,.
E
F
One
of
the
things
and
I'm
excited
about
the
prospect
for
for
this
project.
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
that
everyone
at
this
table
into
council
member
gotta,
gato's
question.
We
want
to
make
sure
it's
real
and
the
thing
that
I
in
conversations
with
staff
have
you
know,
try
to
impress
upon
staff
as
we
go
between
preliminary
terms
and
final
terms
is
making
sure
that
there
are
protections
for
the
city.
F
You
know
so
that
you
know
it's
nice
to
have
this
Vision
laid
out,
and
we
very
much
I
I
think
a
33-story
tower
that
adds
a
lot
of
new
housing
downtown
would
be
a
tremendous
asset
but
making
sure
that
that
there
are
Protections
in
place.
If
this
project
doesn't
go
forward,
we'll
be
looking
to
see
that
in
the
in
the
final
terms,
as
well,
understood
and
then
I'll
also
be
looking
to
staff
and
the
the
due
diligence.
F
J
K
The
development
agreement
will
come
back
before
us.
What
we're
voting
on
tonight
would
just
be
that
preliminary,
but
then
Jeff
is
going
to
work
into,
because
it's
very
important
that,
with
the
project
of
this
size,
that
we
get
some
wording
in
there,
that
we
have
an
apprenticeship
program
that
it's
going
to
be
verified.
Income
payroll
income
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
those
that
are
working
that
are
building
this
project
are
are
qualified
and
that
they
are
paid
a
decent
wage.

Any

A
All

So
let's
go
ahead
and
open
it
up
on
item
62
item
a
is
Carol
Maher
Carol.
I
Bayer
County
and
members
of
the
Des
Moines
city
council,
my
name
is
Carol
Maher
I
live
in
ward,
3,
zip
code
50312
earlier
tonight
on
the
consent
agenda.
You
confirmed
my
nomination
to
serve
on
the
plan
and
Zoning
commission.
Thank
you
to
council
member
Voss
and
who
submitted
my
nomination
for
and
to
all
of
you
who
approved
it,
unlike,
unlike
where
I
move
from
I'm
thrilled.
That
I
was
able
to
Garner
this
nomination
without
leveraging
family
connections
being
a
political
Insider
or
a
big
dollar
donor,
because
I
have
none
of
those
things.
I
What
I
learned
was
that,
even
though
I'm
not
an
architect
or
an
engineer,
I
can
provide
meaningful
input
on
projects
being
built
in
Des
Moines,
while
I
lean
heavily
into
bike
parking
and
amenities.
As
you
know,
on
new
projects
I'm
also
a
fierce
advocate
for
Innovative,
creative,
dare
I,
say
sexy
design.
Please,
let's
not
have
every
apartment
building
look
like
a
Hampton
Inn.
I
It's
also
important
that
we
encourage
sustainable
and
green
business
practices,
including
Landscaping
requirements
and
building
all
electric
projects
I'm
also
cheering
for
more
affordable
units
in
our
current
tip
agreements
and
I
lean
hard
into
increased
density
and
less
parking.
I'm
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
work
with
the
amazing
planning
department,
City
staff,
Jason,
Burch,
Rosie,
Jeremy
and
others,
and
to
serve
with
commission
chair
Emily
Webb
and
my
fellow
Commissioners.
Thank
you.
M
Even
though
Iowa
turned
Republican
red
on
November,
8th
I
know
the
most
important
politics
are
local
politics.
This
season
I'm
grateful
for
the
sincere
efforts
of
some
of
you
to
sit
down
and
talk
and
better
yet
listen
to
the
community.
I'm
speaking
of
council
members,
Josh
mandelbaum
Carl
Voss,
Connie,
bozen
and
Indira
Shoemaker
I
even
had
a
pleasant
meeting
with
gato
earlier
this
year.
M
I'm
grateful
that
in
2022
as
a
council,
you
openly
received
the
report
from
Public
Works,
LLC
and
ways
to
make
dmpd
data
collection
better,
more
actionable
and
more
transparent
I'm
grateful
that
you
unanimously
approve
the
hiring
of
21st
century
policing
solutions
to
do
an
independent
third
party
review
of
the
dmpd
I'm
grateful
for
the
dmpd's
recent
policy
change,
which
requires
documentation
on
all
traffic
stops
at
minimum.
A
written
warning.
M
This
change
will
help
ensure
that
we
have
complete
data
and
reduces
the
likelihood
of
pretextual
stocks,
I'm
grateful
too
and
finally,
for
the
advocacy
community
that
has
done
a
great
job
in
educating
our
residents
around
policing
issues
in
our
city.
More
people
are
now
getting
involved
in
Civic
engagement,
which
is
everyone's
responsibility,
but
with
my
gratefulness
comes
watchfulness,
we
certainly
have
lots
of
work
to
do
in
2023
and
we,
as
a
community,
will
be
watching
for
action
and
accountability
policy
and
ordinance
changes.
M
N
N
Des
Moines
gets
things
done
in
the
past
two
years,
I've
been
to
most
of
their
neighborhoods
and
I
went
out
there
with
a
voice
for
peace
and
agreement
where
I'm
going
is
a
988
campus.
I
spoke
with
a
50-year
plan
for
Polk
County
in
988
is
something
on
the
horizon
and
I
want
to
step
away
with
the
the
Indian
Heritage
I
did
grow
up
in
Indian
village
Iowa,
which
is
Tama
70
years
ago.
N
They
integrated
the
sack
and
Fox
Nation
and
with
the
school
kids
in
Montour
lots
of
poverty,
lots
of
mental
health,
lots
of
addictions.
Well,
the
988
system,
if
you
have
the
true
Vision,
especially
with
buildings
on
this
side
of
the
river
coming
available,
I
know
the
governor
and
different
legislative
things
talks
about
a
Clearinghouse,
so
that
I
could
feel
as
a
young
man
or
an
adult
coming
from
a
different
County
or
even
in
Polk
County
into
Des
Moines.
N
That
there's
going
to
be
that
Clearinghouse
that
place
where
I
can
go
to
not
only
just
call
the
phone
number
but
go
there
and
get
guidance
and
assistance,
and
in
this
past
year
there's
plenty
of
organizations
with
housing
and
and
health
care
and
and
Rehabilitation,
but
but
that
one
place
where
I
could
go
and
send
somebody's.
Not
there
and
I
read
this
book
on
the
good
Society
by
John,
Kenneth
Galbraith,
and
he
talks
about.
N
The
poor
of
the
planet
and
I
just
I
just
know
that
buildings
government
buildings
that
have
been
set
up
a
hundred
years
ago
can
be
used
for
this
988
Venture
so
that
the
professionals
can
put
it
together.
So
they
come
there
and
like
this
Great
Hall
37
different
individual
groups
to
to
have
that
answer
and
I
hope
to
engage
in
a
conversation
and
express
my
voice
to
you.
Thank
you.
