Thank
you
mayor.
Nothing
prepared
other
than
it's
a
thrill
to
be
actually
out
in
the
neighborhoods
after
a
couple
years
of
pandemics
and
it's
a
great
celebration
of
neighbor
neighbors
looking
out
for
them
their
fellow
neighbors,
their
friends,
etc.
Keeping
the
neighborhood
safe
in
the
city
of
des
moines
so
appreciate
the
proclamation.
F
A
Now,
therefore,
I,
mayor
of
the
city
of
des
moines,
on
behalf
of
our
city
council
and
all
of
our
residents,
do
hereby
proclaim
tuesday
august
2nd.
2022
is
national
night
out
and
call
upon
our
residents
of
des
moines
to
recognize
and
participate
in
this
special
observance.
Let's
give
a
great
big
hand
to
our.
A
F
I
So
yes,
mayor
and
council,
I
think
all
of
you
have
had
a
chance
to
meet
with
with
mitzi,
but
we
thought
it'd
be
appropriate
to
bring
her
forward
for
the
public
to
be
introduced
to
mitzi
as
well.
We've
had
her
in
a
couple
media
outlets
as
well
to
to
get
out
and
and
be
introduced
to
the
community.
So
mitch,
if
you
wouldn't
mind
coming
forward
and
telling
the
public
a
little
bit
about
yourself.
K
Yeah
well,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
here
today.
I'm
really
excited
to
be
in
front
of
everyone
here.
I
am
been
here
about
two
months
now
and
I'm
slowly
trying
to
get
to
know
folks
in
the
community
and
so
looking
around.
I'm
sure
there's
a
lot
of
faces
that
hopefully
I'll
be
able
to
meet
with
one-on-one
with
you
and
your
organizations.
A
All
right
item
two
is
approving
the
agenda
as
presented
and
or
as
amended.
Let
me
see.
Let
me
borrow
here
on
the
consent
items
tonight.
Those
are
items
three
through
48
4b
4y
have
both
been
withdrawn.
The
inspections
are
incomplete
item
37
is
corrected,
roll
call,
regular
agenda
items,
49
to
67
56,
was
corrected
and
to
continue
to
august
8th
of
2022
at
5
pm
56
a
and
56
b
are
withdrawn.
Those
hearings
are
going
to
be
continued.
A
There
is
an
extra
item
directing
the
city
attorney
to
research
and
provide
council
confidential
advice
regarding
the
legal
ability
of
the
city
to
regulate
certain
home-based
sales
and
sponsored
by
myself
and
mayor
pro
tem
mandelbaum.
So
any
rate
will
those
are
the
items
and
unless
anybody
has
anything
else,
I
would
ask
for
a
motion
move.
F
A
A
E
L
E
L
M
A
J
E
J
A
F
A
E
All
right,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
am
very
excited
for
this
project.
On
sixth
avenue
it's
going
to
be
a
black
and
brown
business
incubator.
It's
going
to
bring
something
wonderful
to
this
corridor
that
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
on.
I
think
it's
a
wonderful
cause,
so
I'm
very
excited
for
it
to
move
forward
and
for
us
to
be
supportive
of
that,
and
with
that
I
would
just
move
to
approve
item
31.
A
and
b.
J
A
A
We
also
have
several
vacation
hearings,
a
conveyance
hearing,
one
lease
purchase
hearing,
one
public
improvement
hearing
and
a
couple
of
other
hearings
as
a
reminder
for
the
zoning
items
only
which
are
again
53
through
58.
We
will
hear
the
parties
in
interest
first
if
they
wish
to
speak
and
then
the
general
public,
the
party's
in
interest
for
the
zoning
items
or
the
applicant
or
somebody
that
lives
within
250
feet
that
is
received
and
notice
from
the
city.
After
all,
the
parties
in
interest
have
commented.
A
We
will
then
open
it
up
for
any
member
of
the
public
for
germain
comments
to
aid
in
the
recognizing
parties
in
interest
who
may
speak
on
the
zoning
arms.
I
will
ask
everyone
else
to
not
step
to
the
microphone
unless
they
are
that
zoning
applicant
or
live
within
250
feet
and
again
receive
that
notice.
A
Anyone
who
approaches
the
mic
before
their
time
will
be
compared
on
the
list
and,
if
not
on
the
list,
will
be
considered,
disruptive
and
will
not
be
recognized
for
the
remainder
of
the
meeting
and
will
be
required
to
leave
the
building.
So
please
wait
until
I
call
on
the
general
public
for
the
zoning
items
or
you
will
not
be
called
on
again
for
the
remainder
of
the
meeting.
A
All

considered
non-germane,

A
A
E
E
A
A
A
A
O
So
I
was
just
curious
what
these
vehicles
were
going
to
get
used,
for.
I
know
we're
buying
electric
vehicles,
which
is
awesome
to
see
and
suvs.
What
has
me
a
little
bit
concerned
is
on
item
46,
that
was
on
the
consent
agenda.
We
were
buying
sedans
and
suvs,
specifically
for
use
of
the
undercover
cops
on
the
police
department
and
I'm
really
disappointed
to
see
that
spending
on
the
consent
agenda.
So
I'd
really
like
to
know
how
these
vehicles
are
being
used
and
dispatched
in
our
community.
I
I
I
A
I
F
Q
I
A
J
I
J
J
Typically,
we
don't,
we
don't
react
as
quickly
as
as
we
did
for
this
project.
This
is
a
great
project
for
the
southeast
side,
and
so
without
their
help,
and
without
them
getting
this
to
this
point
right
now,
they're
on
a
strict
construction
deadline,
so
I'm
hoping
that
we'll
be
able
to
meet
it
with
with
their
help.
So
I
appreciate
staff
I'll
move,
61
and
61a.
J
A
A
62
was
on
tower
park,
futsal
court
resolution,
approving
plan
specifications,
form
of
contract
documents,
engineers
estimate
receive
and
file
bids
and
designating
the
lowest
responsive
responsible
bidder
is
berkey,
homebuilders,
inc,
dba,
concrete
professionals.
Eric
berkey
is
the
president
184
737
and
25
cents,
council
communication
number
22-337
a
is
approval
of
the
contract
and
bond
and
permission
to
sublet
again
we'll
ask
the
general
public
for
comments
as
to
the
plans.
A
O
I
really
like
this
project.
It's
a
great
park
and
a
great
investment.
The
youth
seem
to
love
the
futsal
courts.
I
myself,
and
not
quite
that
agile,
but
also
seeing
that
we
were
under
on
the
estimate
a
bit,
and
I
know
that
we
get
some
donated
lighting
and
like
the
futsal
equipment
and
stuff.
But
I
know
in
some
of
the
other
parks
where
those
exist.
O
It's
still
not
quite
enough
lighting
necessarily
late
at
night
or
maybe
safety
reasons
making
sure
the
area
to
the
futsal
court
is
well
lit
as
well.
If
that's,
the
intention
is
to
use
it
late
at
night,
especially
because
it's
aimed
towards
kids
I'll
just
check
into
that,
but
I
think
this
is
a
great
addition
to
tower.
E
If
there
are
no
more
public
comments,
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
I'm
excited
about
this
going
into
tower
park.
I
was
looking
at
the
plan
and
and
it's
going
to
be
located
near
the
bathroom
facilities
and
other
facilities-
it's
a
large
foothold
court.
So
we
have
some
some
varied
sizes
of
like
a
small
and
medium
one.
E
So
this
is
going
to
be
more
geared
towards
adults
being
able
to
play
more
of
like
a
full-size
game
than
the
smaller
football
courts
and
that
our
football
courts
have
been
been
used
and
the
programming
is
going
very
well,
and
so
I'm
excited
to
see
this
growing
and
I'm
excited
to
see
more
of
these
going
in.
So
with
that,
I'd
like
to
move
62
and
62a
a.
D
A
All
right,
let's
note
that
it's
5
32
and
the
hearings
have
ended.
Let's
move
back
to
approving
item
32,
which
council
member
mandelbaum,
I
believe,
pulled
off,
which
is
terms
of
an
urban
renewal
development
agreement
with
exodus
group
investments,
lc
llc
for
the
construction
of
a
new
distribution,
light
assembly,
warehouse
at
1717,
east
army
post
road
council
communication,
number
22-350.
H
J
All
of
these
are
large
developments.
They're
they're
required
to
do
the
exact
same
thing
is
as
all
of
these
they
are
going
to.
The
construction
group
is
estes
and
they
will
be
in
direct
contact
with
katie
from
mid-america
energy
with
some
of
these
programs.
So
staff
has
did
a
wonderful
job
directing
exodus
and
and
estes
the
construction
to
to
make
sure
that
that
these
goals,
that
we've
implemented
as
a
council
and
as
a
community
made
sure
that
they're
they're
consistent
with
other
projects
in
the
city.
E
I
would
like
to
add
on:
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
incorporating
sustainability
as
a
matter
of
policy
in
any
of
our
assistance
and
any
any
projects
where
we're
giving
assistance,
and
so
I
would
like
to
see
any
energy
efficiency
things
we
can
do
that
are
similar
to
what
we've
been
doing
before.
But
that
is
a
matter
of
policy
that
we
would
need
to.
I
think
that
we
should
stay
right
in
stone,
essentially.
H
R
R
J
I
think
I
think
mike
I'm
asking
for,
I
think
mike's
here,
okay,
so
this
is
the
same.
This
is
the
same
place
where
a
trailer
sat
there
for
almost
two
years
and
enforcement
had
to
force
him
to
move
that,
and
so
we're
asking
to
to
be
able
to
put
boats
and
to
be
able
to
put
cars
there
and
they're
going
to
work
on
that.
So
all
that's
going
to
be
working
inside
they're,
going
to
put
the
boats
inside
the.
R
Technically,
the
upholstery
is
for
boats,
but
the
boats
aren't
there
that's,
and
if
the
boats
do
come
there,
they
don't
stay
there,
they
they're
just
taking
them
apart,
so
they
can
work
on
them
this.
The
trailers,
I
agree,
were
there
because
of
the
landscaping
company
that
was
working
out
of
the
building.
Mr.
R
E
R
S
S
This
zoning
was
fairly
limited,
very
limited,
actually
to
one
additional
minor
use
from
what
they
have
on
the
property.
Today,
the
staff
and
the
planning
commission
did
recommend
approval
of
the
rezoning
at
that
time,
and
so
this
ongoing
enforcement
action,
it's
just
part
of
any
property
in
the
city.
We
would
have
to
enforce
upon
it.
Tonight's
action
isn't
going
to
prevent
a
future
violation
on
the
property.
There
could
always
be
a
violation
and
we
would
have
to
enforce
it.
J
But
mike
we're
asking
for
another
business,
I
mean
it
just
seems
like
that.
We're
we're
constantly
focused
specifically
on
on
these
two
addresses
and
now
we're
now
we're
asking
to
to
have
another
business
come
where
I
mean
I'm
sorry.
If
you're
going
to
take
a
seat
out
of
a
boat,
do
you
think
they're
going
to
drive
their
boat
back
home
and
then
bring
the
boat
there?
No,
the
boat's
going
to
sit
out
front,
and
so
are
the
cars
that
you're
going
to
work
on
the
upholstery
and
then
we're
going.
J
Gonna
call
enforcements
and
we're
gonna
get
complaints,
and
then
you
know,
and
then
it's
gonna
be
a
cat
and
mouse
game
that
we
played
for
the
last.
I
I
mean
it's
been
forever.
I
mean
a
trailer
sat
there
for
two
years
on
this
site
in
the
parking
lot
on
our
repos
road
and
enforcement.
Finally
was
going
to
have
to
take
him
to
court
and
he
finally
moved
it
at
that
point,
am
I
correct
yeah.
S
S
J
J
I
mean,
if
that
doesn't
send
a
clear
message
of
what
we're
dealing
with.
I
don't
know
what
more
I
could
say.
I
mean
I
I'm
not
going
to
support
any
anything
for
for
this.
I
know
it's
josh's
ward,
but
I
mean
it's
it's
something
that
I
filled
a
lot
of
complaints
on
on
this
corridor,
and
so
I
mean
it's
just
clearly.
S
F
S
E
S
S
I
J
H
R
R
R
We
did
have
a
site
plan
that
was
reviewed
by
the
city,
but
because
of
changes
in
zoning,
some
of
them
unbeknownst
to
him.
When
we
adopted
the
new
ordinance
we've
gone
through
several
rezoning
actions
on
this
property,
we
thought
we
were
to
a
point
where
the
the
tenants
he
had
were
within
the
ordinance,
but
we
realized
then
technically
the
upholstery
place
wasn't
because
of
the
boats
and
cars
and
then
the
trailers
we
all
know
about
the
trailers.
R
He
also
had
a
mobile
home
that
he
was
placing
on
a
lot
directly
behind
this
property
they
originally
purchased
together
and,
if
you
probably
all
remember
that
said
they're
all
at
least
a
winter
and
longer
probably
so-
that's
been
placed
now.
So
he
is
moving
forward
with
all
these
projects
that
he
started,
I'm
going
to
say,
kovit
didn't
help
any.
There
was
just
a
lot
of
things
that
slowed
him
down,
but
he's
moving
forward
again
now,
if
we
don't
approve
the
action
tonight,
it
will
just
basically
mean
the
upholstery.
R
R
Tenant
doesn't
want
to
pay
right
to
do
that.
You
know
you
have
to
rent
more
space,
so
my
client
is
trying
to
move
ahead
and
get
this
cleaned
up
and
get
the
the
property
rented
and
get
the
site
plan
approved.
So
we
can
do
the
streetscapes
and
everything
else
that
are
part
of
that
project,
but,
as
mike
has
stated
really
the
only
thing.
The
only
action
tonight
is
really
the
upholstery
aspect
of
it.
The
trailers
are
just
part
of
the
landscape.
Okay,.
H
S
E
So
I
guess
with
all
of
these,
you
said
that
there
were
multiple
uses
that
were
approved.
How
close
are
we
getting
to
industrial,
because
it
kind
of
seems
like
we're
getting
into
a
situation
where
the
zoning
violations
would
be
approved
in
an
industrial
zone,
and
so
what's
effectively
happening
on
this
lot.
Is
that
it's
an
industrial
like
the
use
is
industrial,
but
the
zoning
is
not
and
that's
where
the
violations
are
coming
from,
and
so
it
doesn't,
it
wouldn't
make
sense.
We
wanted
to
keep
this
non-industrial
to
then
approve
all
the
difference.
E
E
H
M
A
Just
so
everybody
I
think
understands,
I
ought
to
at
least
state
that
the
uses
that
are
prohibited
on
this
party
property
right
now
are
animal
boarding,
a
bar
bail
bonds,
delayed
deposit
services,
pawn
brokers,
signed
general
advertising,
billboard
whatever
vehicle
sales
service
category,
including
fuel
station
vehicle
sales,
vehicle
rental,
vehicle
maintenance
and
repair,
with
a
minor
exception,
which
I
think
we're
looking
at
now,
which
is
automotive
upholstery
and
automotive
detailing
uses,
are
permitted.
But
anything
that
involves
a
cell
and
service
of
alcohol
wine
or
beer
is
prohibited.
So
not
a
lot
of
options.
J
J
Yeah,
no,
I
understand
and
trust
me
I
I
wish
that
you
know
we
were
all
in.
He
was,
I
mean
we're
chase,
it's
a
cat
and
mouse
game.
I
mean
in
I
mean
you
talk
to
the
zoning
enforcer.
I
mean
they're
they're
constantly
having
to
harp
on
on
on
this
particular
pro
property
when
we've
got
other
properties
throughout
the
city.
J
J
I
would
consider
that
an
industrial
use
and
we
never
had
that
type
of
problem
for
mr
benson's
printer
shop,
that
was
there,
and
so
I
I
mean
there's
ways
to
use
this
building
if,
if
an
owner
wants
to
be
responsible,
I
just
feel
like
he
he's
thumbing
his
nose
at
us,
and
you
know
he's
only
coming
to
us,
because
the
enforcement
has
gone
to
him
many
times.
That's
probably,
why
he's
not
here
in
front
of
the
podium.
D
I
I
would
agree,
I
just
have
a
problem
with
with
giving
a
change
zoning
on
somebody,
that's
been
not
as
cooperative
as
probably
could
and
try
to
go
after
different
type
of
businesses
that
are
more
reflective
of
what
we're
asking
to
be
in
the
corridors
right
now.
That's
why
we
had
changed
a
lot
of
zoning.
I
believe,
and
we
shouldn't
have
to
have
code
enforcement
telling
them
after
we
had
a
meeting
with
a
month
ago
that
we
have
it
still
issues
so,
but
I
can't
support.
E
L
L
A
E
I
J
L
A
Item
a
entered
as
a
final
consideration,
the
ordinance
above
the
waivers
requested
by
jonathan
gainer,
our
public
works
director
inquires,
six
votes
and
b
is
amending
the
schedule
of
administrative
penalties,
regulating
hold
waste
wriggling,
fat,
oil,
grease
discharge
by
food
service
establishments
and
as
council
member
shoemaker
mentioned
a
minute
ago.
This
was
part
of
our
discussion
earlier
this
morning.
A
A
D
T
D
E
I
would
like
to
make
it
just
a
clarifying
comment
for
the
public.
I
think
there
has
been
just
just
for
more
awareness
about
the
process
when
kay
announced
her
retirement,
we
started
looking
for
a
new
clerk.
There
were
multiple
candidates,
laura
was
the
most
qualified
partially,
given
that
she
had
been
with
the
city
and
so
knows
all
of
our
processes
and
programs,
and
that
is
why
we
chose
to
appoint
her
as
the
city
clerk.
J
Mr
mayor,
real
quick,
just
like
to
thank
the
three
of
you
on
the
personnel
committee
and
I
know
our
former
city
clerk
is
in
the
crowd
that
laura
had
worked
under
for
many
many
years
and
I'm
happy
happy
to
to
to
vote
for
this.
I'm
glad
I'm
glad
that
laura.
I
agree
with
carl.
We
need
to
get
them
back
out
here,
so
hopefully,
in
august,
yeah
they'll
be
coming
out,
we'll
be
able
to
to
get
them
back
out
here
in
front.
So.
E
A
A
J
A
A
A
A
U
Hi
I'm
jolene
prescott.
I
live
at
301,
three
third
street
and
indira.
I
am
glad
you're
back
because
a
few
weeks
ago
you
said
something
about
not
wanting
to
have
security
down
there,
where
you
have
to
have
that
security
checkpoint,
and
you
had
a
problem
with
someone
having
their
purse
look
through.
Well,
yes,
you
did,
and
you
know
how
easy
it
would
be
if
we
didn't
have
that
down
there,
for
someone
to
bring
a
weapon
in
here.
J
R
T
Callanani
him
ward,
three
content
running
for
police
violence,
two
dmpd
officers,
peter
wilson
and
jeffrey
george,
recently
filed
civil
lawsuits
against
six
protesters
from
july.
First,
twenty
twenty
on
july,
first
dmpd
and
the
iowa
state
patrol
claimed
they
had
warrants
and
then
proceeded
to
unlawfully,
detain
certain
protesters
to
the
iowa
capital
resulting
in
capital
bans
where
several
protesters
were
banned
from
their
own
state
capital.
T
These
bans
were
unconstitutional
and
were
overturned
by
the
courts
because
of
that,
while
the
suit
is
brought
by
two
individual
cops,
not
the
city
proper,
the
city
is
still
ultimately
responsible
because
the
cops
are
city
employees
who
are
working
for
the
city
at
the
time
in
question.
The
cops
are
using
city
resources
through
their
jobs
to
bring
these
suits
forward.
The
cops
can
only
do
this
because
they
have
reason
to
believe
the
city
will
protect
them.
T
That's
because
the
city
councils,
the
city
and
the
council's
inability
to
criticize
dmpd
in
the
city's
silencing
of
dmpt
critics,
the
city
is
still
fighting
lawsuits
from
other
protesters
who
are
abused
by
dmp
during
2020
as
well.
These
cops
are
managed
by
chief
wingert,
who
is
managed
by
city
manager,
scott
sanders,
who
is
managed
by
the
council
in
this
filing
in
the
court
filing
the
cops
claimed
in
writing
that
they
feel
racial
justice
protesters
were
engaged
in
domestic
terrorism.
T
We
are
not
safe
when
our
police
force
refers
to
presidents
this
way
as
enemy
combatants.
The
department
cannot
feasibly
claim
to
offer
public
safety
to
people
that
it
views
this
way.
A
lot
of
us
know
that
dmpd
considers
protesters
as
terrorists,
but
now
it's
actually
admitted
in
a
court
following
it's,
not
just
something
that
we
kind
of
think
they've
actually
admitted
it.
T
A
O
Yeah
echo
adams,
comments
and
concerns.
It's
all
super
valid.
It's
really
difficult
to
watch
that
happen
because
us
as
citizens,
if
we
felt
we
were
harmed
by
police
officers
in
the
interaction
with
them,
we
couldn't
do
anything
about
it.
We're
not
allowed
to
sue
them.
We
can't
hold
them
accountable
for
their
actions
and,
as
you
guys
have
shown
when
it
comes
to
their
budget,
you
won't
either
connie.
I
was
pretty
disappointed
to
see
you
making
some
comments
about.
We
need
to
pay
off
duty,
police
officers,
more
money
and
more
overtime
to
enforce
fireworks.
O
It
seems
like
they
were
absent
and
not
enforcing
it
at
all.
Based
on
listening
to
the
tracker
of
what
calls
are
coming
in
versus
what
they
ticketed
paying
off
duty
police
officers
is
just
paying
overtime
to
cops.
I
would
also
like
to
say
it
seems
it's
really
disappointing
that
we
didn't
have
on
the
item
in
question
where
you
purchased
two
nissan
leafs.
O
Nowhere
in
any
of
the
linking
that
the
public
could
be
aware
of
what
those
vehicles
were
being
used
for,
even
though
on
the
item
on
the
consent
agenda,
you
explicitly
say:
you're
buying
police
undercover
vehicles
there,
so
I
would
encourage
you
to
get
with
staff
and
make
sure
you're
publicly
allocating
the
resources
so
that
we
can
inform
the
public
properly
on.
What's
going
on.
Second,
I
guess.
Lastly,
I
would
really
just
on
that
item
that
adam
brought
up
that
civil
suit.
O
I
have
yet
to
hear
a
comment
from
anyone
else,
standing
up
and
saying
any
attacks
against
indira
by
other
city
employees
or
defending
her.
In
fact,
I've
heard
to
the
contrary,
where
frank
is
saying
that
she
isn't
doing
a
good
enough
job
representing
her
community
while
she
was
out-
and
that's
really
disappointing,
to
hear
you
guys
all
going
and
targeting
one
of
your
own
colleagues,
so
I
think
you
should
do
better.
A
P
At
1807,
south
west
second-
and
I'm
going
to
quickly
address
three
things:
one
is
the
noise
ordinance.
What
if
you
allowed
patrols,
who
don't
carry
decibel
meters,
a
method
to
keep
folks
from
repeatedly
disturbing
the
peace
simplify
it
it
doesn't
have
to
take?
It
doesn't
take
a
meter
to
know
when
something
is
too
loud.
We
need
to
be
able
to
hear,
what's
going
on
around
us,
be
outside
without
being
scared
by
fireworks,
mufflers
radios
and
hurt
over
85
decibels
causes
hearing
damage,
and
maybe
quiet
vehicles
aren't
as
much
fun
to
speed
two
motorcycle
parking.
P
For
some
reason:
our
roads
don't
have
shoulders,
it's
a
white
line
if
we're
lucky
and
then
a
curb
or
a
ditch.
Sidewalks
are
for
pedestrians,
and
sometimes
bicycles
go
on
them
too,
because
there
are
no
shoulders
to
ride
safely
on
the
street.
Motorcycles
are
parking
on
sidewalks.
It
happens
repeatedly.
If
there
isn't
a
law
that
says
we
can't
park
on
sidewalks.
Maybe
there
should
be,
or
maybe
it's
time
to
enforce
it.
Third
one
I'm
gonna
start
with
the
story.
P
Once
upon
a
time,
I
was
late
for
work
because
elephants
were
making
their
way
from
a
train
to
a
circus.
Obviously,
elephants
aren't
allowed
on
the
streets.
It
was
downtown
minneapolis,
but
you
know
they
didn't
have
any
other
option.
We
had
to
see
them
at
the
circus
and
I
don't
have
elephants
going
back
and
forth
in
front
of
my
house,
but
they'd
be
less
intrusive
than
the
forklifts
I
do
have.
P
Instead
of
maintaining
the
route
used
for
decades
to
haul
pallets
between
two
warehouses,
the
business
across
the
street
from
me
decided
to
start
using
my
street
daily
and
repeatedly,
but
and
obviously
forklifts
aren't
meant
for
streets,
but
dubois
officials
say
forklifts,
don't
occur
in
city
ordinances,
bylaws
regulations
etc.
Nor
I'm
sure
do
elephants.
P
Therefore,
my
neighborhood
turned
into
a
commercial
loading
zone,
because
the
company
is
too
cheap
to
fix
their
driveway.
So
ignoring
these
small
things
leads
to
bigger
things
and
leads
to
many
copycats
parking
illegally,
intentionally
disturbing
the
peace
being
defiant
on
all
laws.
It's
not
the
des
moines
I
want
to
live
in
and
I
think
we
can
do
better.
V
shall
not
be
moved.
It's
a
black
spiritual,
not
only
sung
in
black
churches,
but
at
protests
all
around
the
country.
Now
this
song
resonates
with
our
work,
our
community
with
message,
a
message
to
let
you
know
we
remain
steadfast
like
a
tree
planted
by
the
water
and
we
shall
not
be
moved
cci.
Racial
justice
teams
shall
not
be
moved
and
I
will
call
for
a
third
party
investigation
of
the
des
moines
police
department.
V
Now,
despite
the
bells
and
whistles
of
distractions
and
deflections,
the
promotions
and
the
recent
commotions,
this
request
only
makes
sense
and
is
long
past
due.
I
want
to
reiterate
the
racial
profiling
of
dwbs
that
is
driving,
while
black,
overly
aggressive
police
tactics
resulting
in
a
payout
of
just
over
a
million
dollars
so
far
also
reported
sexual
harassment
within
the
police
department
continues
to
be
issues
of
concern,
prompting
our
request
for
this
department
to
be
investigated
like
that
tree
planted
by
the
waters.
V
We
shall
not
be
moved
on
the
third
party
investigation,
dmpd
and
councilwoman
shoemaker,
along
with
other
council
members
that
have
willingly
worked
with
us.
Let
us
hope
you
too
will
be
like
that
tree
planted
by
the
rolling
boiling
waters.
You
will
not
be
moved
and
continue
to
work
with
our
community
with
that
much
needed
change
in
des
moines,
oh
wait
a
minute,
I
might
add.
I
believe
we
were
told
these
issues
would
be
on
the
agenda.
W
W
Those
actions
resulted
in
many
of
the
concerns
and
why
we're
here
and
continue
to
show
up
we'll
continue
to
push
for
a
third
party,
invest
independent
investigation
of
the
des
moines
police
department,
primarily
for
the
safety
of
our
city.
It
took
a
woman
to
lead
the
charge
about
an
investigation
that
represents
our
city.
It's
a
scandal.
W
M
E
Second,
okay,
if
I
could
just
make
a
comment
about,
I
appreciate
being
stood
up
for.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
we
are
all
public
publicly
employed
officials
and
people
have
every
right
to
make
comments
about
what
policies
we
support,
including
whether
or
not
we
believe
security
should
be
at
city
hall.
People
are
allowed
to
to
say
pretty
much
whatever
they
want
about
us.
They're
legally
allowed
to
do
that.
E
So
I
don't
mind
if
people
want
to
come
here
and
make
negative
comments
about
about
about
me
or
about
my
policies
or
anything
like
that,
that's
absolutely
their
right
and
I'll
leave
it
at
that
I'll
go
ahead
and,
second
that
motion-
or
it
was
already
seconded
sorry,
never
mind
I'll,
withdraw.
My
second.
A
H
Comment
yeah
so
this
comes.
There
is
a
separate
zoning
board
of
adjustment
action
that
will
work
itself
through
the
process
about
gun
sales
out
of
homes,
but
that
has
prompted
a
number
of
constituents
in
the
third
ward
to
raise
questions
about
what
we
can
do
as
a
city
from
a
zoning
perspective
and
to
to
address
that-
and
you
know,
we've
had
some
conversations
and
I
know
we're
pretty
limited
by
the
preemption
bills
up
at
the
state.
H
But
given
the
current
current
issue,
I
think
this
is
a
fair
time
to
revisit
this
question
and
get
some
advice
from
our
legal
counsel
on
what
options
we
may
have
and
if
we
don't
have
options
because
of
state
law
we'll
we'll
be
able
to
to.
Let
folks
know
that
and
maybe
direct
efforts
of
a
change
towards
where
they
need
to
happen,
and
so
that's
the
purpose
and
origin
