The

ice

so
we've
had
after
100
years,
and
we've
had
folks
advocating
for
conservation,
water
quality
protection
of
our
natural
resources.
A
Honestly,
we
need
more
groups
like
play,
an
important
role
from
an
advocacy
perspective
and
from
a
conservation
perspective
and
we're
glad
to
have
a
strong
capture
here
in
des

I
were
the
first

Light
bulbs
are
out,
it's
it's
just
not
very
safe
or
sanitary,
and
I
believe
that
everybody
deserves
the
right
to
be
able
to
live
in
a
clean,
safe
environment
and
I
have
met
with
with
the
anna
wim
executive
director,
and
you
know
I
gotta
say
that
did
not
go
very
well.
So
for
that
reason,
I'm
going
to
support
it,
but
I
had
to
make
that
statement
regarding
anna
whim
and
I
just
hope
that
next
year
we
can,
we
can
pull
those
out
to
vote
separately.

It
is,
it's
got
some
really
amazing
things
in

report
outlining
what
the
public
art
foundation
has
helped
with
this
last
year
there
are
there's
a
mobile
app
that
you
can
download.
That
will
tell
you
where
all
the
public
art
is
in
the
city
and
it's
it's
just
an
amazing
model.
They
also
have
a

executive
director,
matt
greiner,
who
has
I

council,
member
bozon.
E
Thank
you
mayor
pro
tem
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
in
that
we
are
going
to
be
assessing
des
moines
police
and
their
policies,
procedures,
training
and
culture.
I
want
to
thank
the
city
manager
for
not
only
looking.
I
think
it
was
four
originally
but
adding
the
2-1
that
we
had
suggested
and
doing
the
due
diligence
to
really
look
at
the
groups
that
best
serve
all
of
the
needs
that
we
wanted
to
accomplish.
E
I
think
that
this
is
a
positive
step.
Along
with
the
public
works
that
we
did
to
say,
how
can
we
improve
outcomes
for
not
only
our
citizens
but
also
for
the
people
that
are
serving
in
the
police
department
and
make
it
the
best
place
it
can
be
for
them
to
work
and
also
make
sure
that
our
citizens
have
a
good
and
you
know,
a
good
relationship.
E
E
I
don't
know
soon
how
fast
they
start
in.
I
know
we
have
to
get
this
approved
then
work
out
those
details,
but
hopefully
they
can
get
started
sooner
than
later
and
we
can
move
forward
and,
along
with,
I
said,
like
public
works,
and
this
we
can
have
a
very
informed
information
on
what
we
need
to
do
going
forward.
O
I'd
like
to
make
comment
as
well,
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear
to
the
public.
This
is
a
result
of
the
request
for
a
third
party
investigation
into
the
des
moines
police.
It
is
not
an
investigation
into
any
specific
incidents,
but,
like
councilmember
rosen,
said
into
culture,
protocol
procedures,
policies
and
training
of
the
des
moines
police
department.
It's
going
to
take
a
deep
look
at
those
things,
and
so
I
want
to
thank
the
cci
racial
justice
team
for
your
diligent
work
in
getting
something
like
this
done.
A
Second-
and
I
I
want
to
thank
councilmember
bozen
for
her
leadership
on
on
keeping
this
at
the
forefront
and
getting
this
through.
I
think
we're
all
interested
in
improving
service
and
improving
public
safety
and
we're
eager
to
see
this
process
play
out
and
hopefully
improve
outcomes
across
the
board.
So
thank
you.
Everyone.
A

below
council
communication
number
22-399
a
the
city
council
remains
the
decision
and
order
to
the
zoning
board
of
adjustment
for
further
study.
The
effective
date
of
the
board's
decision
will
be
deferred
for
30
days.
From
the
date
of
this
remand
b,
the
city
council
takes
no
action
to
review
the
decision
in
order.
A
H
L
O
I'm
I'm
always
down
for
opening
up
to
speakers
to
the
audience,
but
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
consistent
with
how
we're
doing
that.
We
haven't
opened
it
up
to
anyone
else.
I'm
not
saying
don't!
Do
it
this
time,
I'm
just
saying
if
we
want
to
pick
and
choose
when
we're
doing
that,
we
should
be
consistent,
at
least
in
the
meeting
and
open
up
all
ordinance
items
to
the
speakers
in
the
public.
L
L
K
L
We
hear
from
someone
from
steve
neighbor
or
is
it
steve
in
the
background?
Well.
L
A
K
Would
rather
be
consistent
and
I
don't
think
we
typically
have
opened
this
up
very
often
to
a
public
comment
about
parking.
I
would
rather,
I
guess
once
we
hear
from
the
city
engineer,
then
maybe
I
can
make
it
a
a
different
decision,
but
I'd
like
to
hear
from
staff.
First.
H
A
D
All
right
mayor
pro
tem
members,
city
council,
my
name
is
steve.
Neighbor
city
engineer,
talking
about
specifically
specifically
item
b,
we
city
received
a
concerns
from
a
resident
about
park
vehicles
on
the
curve
on
pleasant
drive
between
cummins,
parkway
and
56th
street,
creating
site
distance
concerns.
D
There
was
there
was
already
parking
prohibited
on
some
sections
of
the
street
and
you
can
find
that
in
the
exhibit
in
the
map
to
show
where
that
is
so.
We
we
sent
out
technicians
to
actually
go
out,
take
pictures
measurements
and
then
they
calculate
the
site
distances
based
on
the
americans,
association
of
highway
and
transportation
officials.
D
It's
a
national
standard
on
how
to
calculate
site
distance,
and
then
they
that's
how
they
determine
where,
where
the
parking
lengths
are
for
restrictions,
so
that
this
was
brought
to
council
actually
back
in
november
of
2021
residents
did
express
concern
about
the
parking
removal,
citing
concerns
that
that
for
for
speeding
and
and
that
that
the
parking
was
helping,
alleviate
the
speeding
and
so
a
traffic
calming
study
was
done
for
the
street
and
that's
that
study
is
has
recommended
some
improved
measures,
race,
crosswalk,
four
speed,
humps
that'll
go
into
effect.
D
I
think
it's
targeting
construction
in
2024
and
but
with
the
the
fact
that
it
is
a
a
safety
concern
for
visibility,
cities.
My
recommendation
and
city
staff's
recommendation
is
to
is
to
move
forward
with
a
parking
restriction.
O
I
have
a
question:
do
you
feel
that
leaving
the
parking
there
until
the
construction
is
about
to
start
to
for
to
levy
alleviate
those
speeding
concerns?
I
guess
how
do
you
balance
out
the
safety
concerns
of
like
leaving
the
parking
there
to
alleviate
speeding
versus
removing
the
parking
for
sightline
safety
reasons.
D
That's
a
good
question.
I
I
think
the
issue
of
actually
leaving
a
known
site
concern
would
be
would
be
more
of
a
concern
than
than
actually
just
the
the
parking
with
the
hope
that
it
it
calms
traffic.
So
I
so
I
would.
I
would
recommend
that
we
we
address
the
site,
distance
safety
issue
now.
Okay,.
D
So
so
there
there
was
actually
through
the
traffic
calming
process.
Notifications
were
sent
out
to
the
residents
on
the
street
and
then
some
resident.
I
I
apologize.
How
many
showed
up,
but
residents
did
come
to
the
transportation
safety
committee
meeting.
So
actually,
what
was
brought
up
at
the
transportation
safety
committee
meeting
was
also
adding
a
parking
restriction
at
the
intersection
at
the
west
end
at
63rd
street
62nd.
So
actually
that
that
stemmed
from
from
comments
from
residents
that
showed
up
to
the
to
the
meeting.
D
It
it
may
have
been,
I
I
don't
apologize,
I
don't
have
those
yeah
but
yep,
so
that
so
that's
there
actually
are
two
parking
restrictions
that
you'll
see
on
the
agenda
are
in
the
exhibit,
there's
one
at
62nd
place
and
then
there's
one
on
the
curve.
So
the
one
at
62nd
place
was
brought
up
by
a
resident
that
was
responding
to
the
notifications
and.
D
Just
checking
and
seeing
my
notes
if
I
had
that
there
are
there
is
some
crap.
There
was
nine
crashes
over
a
not
about
a
ten
year
period
and
involving
14
vehicles.
That
was
determined.
I
think
that
six
were
speed
related
two,
but
two
of
those
six
were
were
duis
so
and
then
there
is.
I
do
want
to
point
out.
There
is
a
speeding
that
this
this
street
did
meet
the
criteria
for
traffic
calming
as
we
went
out
and
measured
speeds.
The
speed
limit
is
25
miles
an
hour.
D
The
85th
percentile
was
usually
around
30
to
31
miles
an
hour,
so
that
would
meet
the
traffic
call
me.
But
to
answer
your
question
mayor
that
there
there
there
was
nine
crashes
over
a
10-year
period
on
the
street.
K
P
K
K
A
K
A
I
do
want
to
take
a
second
and
address
the
the
residents,
because
I
know
this
is
impactful
and,
and
it
has
a
direct
impact
on
on
specific
residents.
We
had
this
conversation
back
last
year
as
well,
and
the
residents
were
correct
to
bring
up
safety
concerns
in
this
area.
I
mean,
I
think
the
safety
concerns
probably
relate
a
little
bit.
The
fact
that
they're
speeding
cars
makes
a
sight
line
issue
that
much
more
challenging
and
difficult.
A
So
I
I
think
this
is
the
right
outcome
to
prioritize
safety
of
our
our
residents,
but
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
it
is
impactful
and
a
change
for
some
of
our
residents
as
well
and
so
appreciate
the
work
of
staff
and
the
work
of
council
to
make
sure
that
we
were
discussing
and
considering
these
issues.
K
H
A
A
is
final
consideration
of
the
ordinance
above
waiver
requested
by
suanne
donovan
assistant
director
of
neighborhood
service
services
and
requires
six
votes
b,
is
approving
and
adopting
administrative
fees
for
the
vacant
property
registration
ordinance
and
before
I
open
it
up
for
for
discussion,
I
I
do
want
to
thank
staff
for
the
the
good
work
on
this
item.
We
had
a
work
session
discussing
a
number
of
these
pieces.
A
I
I
would
ask
my
colleagues,
I
had
a
number
of
questions
just
in
reading
the
ordinance,
because
I
think
we
saw
it
for
the
first
time
when
the
agenda
went,
live
I'm
comfortable
moving
forward
with
the
first
reading,
but
I
would
like
a
little
more
time
to
digest
the
the
ordinance
and
work
through
some
questions.
A
So
before
there's
other
discussion,
I
I
would
hope
that
we
don't
wave
the
the
second
and
third
readings
so
there's
an
opportunity
to
dig
in
a
little
bit
more
and
then
I
would
open
this
up
for
further
discussion.
I.
O
Was
going
to
say,
I
feel
the
same
way.
That
was
the
concern
that
I
had
as
well,
given
that
we
had
about
two
pages
of
question
and
responses
to
go
over
for
this,
I
would
like
time
to
kind
of
go
through
that
go
through
the
ordinance
a
little
bit
more.
There
were
some
at
least
one
piece
that
I
wasn't
quite
comfortable
with,
which
is
the
requirement
of
the
city
being
able
to
require
additional
security
on
vacant
properties.
O
I
don't
think
that
that's
really
our
place
to
put
that
in
there
or
to
add
additional
surveillance
to
neighborhoods
that
we're
generally
dealing
with,
we
would
generally
be
dealing
with
vacant
properties
in,
and
so
I,
unless
there
is
more
discussion,
I
would
move
just
74.
K
D
K
R
My
name
is
terry
mcfarland
and
I'm
the
director
of
sales
at
the
surety
hotel
des
moines
downtown,
I'm
here
to
discuss
the
growing
concerns
due
to
the
unsafe
activity
on
sixth
avenue,
between
malnbury
and
malnut
street,
since
the
hotel's
opening
in
november
2020,
the
homeless,
vagrant
and
youth
loitering
activity
has
significantly
increased
to
a
point.
Bringing
us
here
today
pleading
for
your
assistance.
R
My
job
today
is
to
share
how
this
affects
my
business
from
a
guest
perspective
and
how
that
also
bleeds
into
the
poor
example
of
what
our
city
has
to
offer
out
of
town
guests.
I'd
like
to
share
a
few
snippets
of
guest
comments.
These
are
their
words
positive.
The
staff
was
amazing.
The
negative
there
was
a
fair
amount
of
sketchiness
within
30
to
40
yards
of
the
front
door.
I
was
solicited
by
two
people
and
another
time
walked
outside,
as
five
people
were
on
the
corner
of
mulberry
getting
into
a
fight
beautiful
hotel.
R
In
addition
to
des
moines,
all
in
concern
was
the
loading
outside
and
on
the
sidewalks
by
the
homeless,
I
witnessed
several
police
encounters.
This
is
the
only
reason
I
will
not
return
to
the
hotel,
which
is
unfortunate.
I
did
not
feel
comfortable
in
the
area,
exceptional
hotel
and
experience
only
issue
where
the
people
hang
around
the
corner
on
the
outside
of
the
property.
R
The
ladies
we
were
with
did
not
feel
safe
and
every
time
we
walked
by
the
homeless
were
begging
for
food
and
money,
not
sure
what
you
can
do
about
that,
given
it
as
a
public
area,
but
it's
a
turn-off
since
it's
such
a
nice
property,
hotel
and
rooms
were
great.
Unfortunately,
the
streets
around
the
hotel
were
frequented
by
lawyers,
vagrants
and
unsupervised
youth
suggest
working
with
city
officials
to
more
closely
manage
the
area.
R
We
also
have
and
will
continue
being
a
sought
after
hotel
for
vips
into
the
city
and
state
at
city
and
state,
and
therefore
I
want
to
share
with
you
who
has
stayed
with
us.
So
you
can
also
understand
how
this
affects
those
visiting
our
city
and
state.

now
have
companies
telling

that
until

problem
is
handled

the
outside

is
cleaned
up,
they
will
unfortunately

elsewhere,

S
Good
evening
my
name
is
allison
stroon,
I'm
the
journal
manager
at
the
surety
hotel,
I'm
here
to
reiterate
the
increasing
concerns
of
the
unsafe
activity
on
6th
avenue
between
mulberry
and
walnut
street.
Unlike
tara,
my
job
is
to
share
how
this
affects,
how
I
manage
the
business,
the
staff
safety
and
how
this
deters
from
the
over
40
million
dollars
in
development.
That's
been
added
to
the
address
to
share
a
few
examples
of
what
my
team
and
I
deal
with
as
it
relates
to
the
unsafe
activity
right
outside
our
doors.
S
Within
recent
months
we
have
made
144
calls
to
the
des
moines
police
department
march
15th,
ui,
youth
loitering
and
turning
into
a
mugging
right
outside
the
hotel's
entrance,
may
11th
youth,
antagonizing
guests
and
hotel
staff
at
4
pm
in
the
afternoon
and
continue
to
loiter
out
for
another
additional
hour
june.
17Th
homeless
man
enters
hotel,
carrying
something
made
to
look
like
an
assault
rifle
and
commits
theft.
S
These
are
just
a
few
of
the
examples
of
the
constant
issues
that
occur
in
our
street
and
our
trend
with
the
direct
feedback,
as
tara
mentioned,
with
the
closure
of
evolve
on
the
corner
of
walnut
and
sixth,
no
doubt
a
reflection
of
the
issues
at
hand.
The
homeless
are
now
spreading
out
around
the
corner,
sleeping
and
setting
up
camp
city
code,
section,
70,
70-73
states,
no
person
shall
congregate,
stand
loaf
or
loiter
upon
the
street
sidewalk
bridge
or
crossing.
S
As
I
stated
earlier,
we've
made
144
calls
to
the
des
moines
police
department.
We
are
splitting
the
cost
for
a
gate
to
keep
people
out
of
the
city
alley
north
of
on
the
north
side
of
our
property.
We
escort
our
team
and
guest
their
cars
because
they
feel
unsafe.
We
increase
staffing
levels
to
keep
a
constant
eye
on
the
exterior
of
the
building.
We
are
doing
our
part
to
combat
the
issue.
Q
Yeah,
so
thank
you,
I'm
basically
here
to
speak
on.
Essentially
the
exact
same
things
these
two
ladies
have
spoken
to,
but
my
concerns
go
beyond
the
scope
of
a
business
and
spread
beyond
out
into
the
entire
city.
I
drive
by
trade.
I
see
it
everywhere.
This
is
a
big
problem.
This
is
exacerbating
crime.
Q
Q
You
can't
go
anywhere
without
seeing
people
grifting
on
a
corner,
there's
trash.
This
is
a
public
health
and
safety
issue,
trash
everywhere
under
off
ramps
bridges,
you
name
it.
This
is
bad
stuff
and
I
mean
something
needs
to
be
done
and
there
is
some
there's
some
laws.
This
is
illegal.
These
people
are
public
trespassers,
also
on
public
on
private
property,
the
gas
stations
ever
they're
all
over
some
were
sleeping
outside
everywhere.
This
is
purely
unacceptable
and
it's
mostly
from
what
I've
seen
in
the
des
moines
proper.
Q
I
don't
really
see
this
in
johnston,
milwaukee
or
any
of
the
other
suburbs,
but
somehow
it's
become
acceptable
here
and
I
don't
find
that
acceptable
and
I
don't
think
anybody
here
does
either
I
mean
I
guess
I'll
seat.
My
two
minutes,
the
rest
of
the
time.
I
think
that
pretty
well
makes
the
point
so,
but
I
appreciate
you
giving
me
the
opportunity
and
that's
pretty
much
it.
O
P
Rj
miller
ward,
one
district
34.
where's
the
mayor
at
come
here:
oh
okay,
good!
You
can
hear
me
because
I'm
reporting
from
my
district
and
I
had
some
complaints
so,
while
campaigning
I
spoke
to
some
young
ladies
of
color,
and
they
were
discouraged
with
the
political
process
in
the
city
because
of
how
the
mayor
treated
miss
shoemaker,
they
showed
me
a
video
of
the
council
meeting
and
I
was
appalled
and
disgusted
by
the
behavior
of
the
mayor
as
the
leader
of
our
city.
P
You
should
support
her
as
she
has
good
ideas
that
she
can
be
beneficial
to
the
council.
I
think
you
owe
her
an
apology
also.
If
you
continue
to
continue
treating
people
like
this,
there
will
be
consequences
on
the
ballot.
Other
constituents
have
reported,
their
voices
are
not
being
heard
and
they
have
complaints
about
gentrification
police
misconduct,
the
lack
of
cooperation
of
other
city
officials
with
other
organizations.
P
The
city
is
also
not
returning
emails
and
they
are
transferring
emails
that
is
directly
sent
to
the
city
to
other
individuals
who
they
did
not
authorize
to
get
those
emails
universally.
Since
I've
been
going
through
these
different
wards,
people
are
saying
you
guys
are
not
listening.
We
elect
you
guys
to
represent
us,
you
guys
are
working
against
us,
so
I
think
you
guys
need
to
start
listening.
P
You
guys
have
ears,
please
listen,
feel
me
feel
me,
oh,
and
which
one
of
you
guys
took
this
this
lady's
email
and
sent
it
to
the
person
who
she
complained
to
you
guys
about.
You
want
to
speak
to
that
y'all.
Looking
at
me,
speak
on
that.
A
On
that
josh,
thank
you
very
much
we'll
go
to
our
next
speaker.
Our
next
speaker
is
hakeem.
Muhammad.
U
U
In
the
past
few
years,
we
have
seen
an
unprecedented
rise
in
violence
amongst
our
youth,
and
we
ask
ourselves
why.
But
we
don't
know
why?
Because
we
never
ask
all
that
ends
today,
because
we
can
start
asking
now.
We
need
to
come
together
and
create
some
kind
of
program
to
give
our
youth
a
voice
and
not
just
the
poster
board
youth.
I'm
talking
about
the
at-risk
use,
I'm
talking
about
the
youth
fighting
in
schools,
I'm
talking
about
the
youth
involved
in
gangs,
I'm
talking
about
the
youth
who
dropping
out
of
school.
U
We
have
to
give
them
a
voice.
We
have
to
listen
to
their
voice,
because
if
we
continue
to
ignore
their
voices,
we'll
see
more
and
more
parents
bury
their
children
and
we
have
enough
blood
in
our
hands
as
it
is.
We
can't
ignore
the
voices
of
the
ghetto
forever,
because
eventually
they'll
force
us
the
whole
world
to
hear.
V
Hello,
my
name
is
bernice
thompson,
I'm
the
person
that
rj
mentioned
I
sent
you.
I
sent
you
all
an
email,
I'm
the
mother
of
des
moines,
first
homicide
victim.
My
son's
name
is
trishay
thompson.
He
was
gunned
down
not
far
from
here
on
january
9th
and
he
passed
away
january
27th.
V
I
sent
you
all
an
email,
because
I
had
concerns
regarding
this
joint
project
that
you
all
have
the
city
of
des
moines
have
with
abdul
samad
and
creative
vision,
and
I
wanted
to
bring
to
your
attention
that
that
program
actually
or
that
project
program.
Whatever
you
call,
it
does
not
exist.
V
Many
people
in
the
community
had
not
heard
of
this
cure
violence.
Violence
interrupters
until
I
used
my
daughter's
social
media
page
as
a
platform
to
address
gun
violence.
I
actually
believe
well.
It
is
my
belief
that
the
city
of
des
moines
has
used
ako
and
created
vision
in
this
violence,
interrupters
or
whatever,
as
a
way
to
appease
the
black
community.
V
I
also
believe
that
it's
the
city's
way
of
not
addressing
the
concerns
that
the
black
community
have,
as
far
as
the
police,
treating
individuals
differently
based
on
the
color
of
their
skin.
I
don't
think
that's
something
that
that
you
guys
are.
You
all
are
ready
to
to
deal
with,
and
I
think
that
you
need
to
you
all
need
to
really
think
about
this
project,
this
joint
project
that
you
have
with
creative
vision,
it's
not
working
time.
W
Hello,
my
name
is
adam
callanan,
we're
three.
He
him
pronouns.
I
would
like
to
start
off
just
saying
somebody
earlier
said,
like
everybody
in
the
room
agrees
that
clemson
should
be
criminalized.
Is
somebody
in
the
room?
I
just
want
to
say.
That
is
not
true,
because
I
do
not
believe
that
I
was
a
bit
taken
aback.
Somebody
would
say
everybody
in
the
room
agrees
with
something
it's
putting
words
in
a
lot
of
people's
mouths,
and
I
would
also
just
like
to
say
homeless.
W
People
are
our
neighbors
and
housing,
and
food
is
the
answer
not
criminalization
into
my
main
comments.
I'd
like
to
again
reiterate:
we
need
virtual
participation
options
for
these
meetings.
I'm
glad
that
the
mayor
has
that
option,
but
residents
and
other
people
should
have
that
option
as
well
content
warning
for
talking
about
issues
with
policing
on
the
consent
agenda.
W
The
city
is
not
a
named
party
in
the
suit,
but
they
are
now
as
of
this
agenda,
paying
to
defend
the
racist,
violent
cops
from
that
protest,
peter
wilson
and
jeffrey
george.
This
reeks
of
police
union
collusion,
I'm
not
sure
if
the
police
union
is
involved,
but
it's
really
alarming
for
the
city
legal
to
be
involved
in
this
way
in
what
is
just
a
bizarre-
and
I
don't
even
know
the
words
of
like
how
weird
this
lawsuit
is
because
they're
claiming
they
have
privileges
as
officers
but
they're
suing
as
private
citizens.
W
This
way
in
the
court
filing
the
cops
call
all
racial
justice
protesters,
domestic
terrorists
chief
winger
is
proud
to
employ
cops,
who
believe
that
racial
justice
protesters
are
domestic
terrorists,
and
the
city
is
now
paying
to
defend
two
specific
cops
in
a
court
case
where
they
are
using
that
argument
in
a
court
filing
that
racial
justice
protesters
or
domestic
terrorists
is
inexcusable,
and
it
really
goes
against
a
lot
of
the
other
work
that
the
city
has
done
to
supposedly
be
addressing.
X
And
if
I
may
give
you
these
photographs.
X
H
X
X
I
called
the
police
and
the
police
tell
me
that
there's
nothing
they
can
do,
and
I
need
to
talk
to
our
city
officials,
and
I
get
told
this
so
many
times,
and
that
is
why
I'm
here,
because
they
always
tell
me
talk
to
your
city
officials,
I'm
at
quick
trip
and
I
see
the
ambulance
coming,
which
I
hear
I
own
exile,
brewing
company.
I
hear
multiple
times
a
day
and
there
is
a
woman
being
wheeled
out,
and
I
asked
him
is:
is
this
a
homeless
person
and
he
said
ma'am?
X
I
can't
tell
you
that,
and
I
said
that's
fine.
I
understand
I
I
said:
what
can
we
do
as
a
city
in
a
community?
What
do
we
need
to
do
and
he
told
me
you
need
to
talk
to
your
city
leaders.
We
need
a
drunk
tank
when
people
are
passed
out
on
drugs
strung
out
there
needs
to
be
someplace
to
take
them
besides
the
hospital
that
was
his
suggestion
to
me.
X
X
We
are
undermining
all
the
good
that
the
homeless
shelter
is
doing
by
allowing
these
people
to
come
and
get
breakfast
and
dinner
a
hot
meal,
and
you
can
see
the
pictures
of
them
all
lined
up
drugged
out,
passed
out
and
then
I
call
and
say:
are
there
beds
available?
Yes,
ma'am,
there
are
beds
available,
she
says,
but
you
can't
come
on
the
first
night
and
you
you
can't
come
on
the
second
night.
We
have
rules.
X
O
T
Okay,
sam
davidson
in
ward,
3
and
first
of
all,
I
want
to
say
I
don't
want
to
be
here.
I
I'm
trying
to
think
about
you
guys,
and
I
don't
know
I
come
to
this
analogy.
It's
like
we've
all
been
to
school.
We've
all
had
teachers,
some
teachers
were
wonderful,
they
were
there
for
us,
they
were
there
for
the
kids.
T
The
other
ones
are
just
there
to
be
seen
and
have
an
audience,
and
I
think
you
guys
are
just
missing
it,
because
the
the
the
decisions
that
are
being
made
is
affecting
everybody's
quality
of
life.
You
know
the
loitering
well
they're
coming
here
for
the
cans.
If
you
talk
to
them,
you
I
mean
they
walk
by.
I
give
them
shoes
and
water,
I
don't
give
them
any
money.
They're,
like
oh
I've,
never
been
to
des
moines
before
I'm
here,
for
the
canning
get
rid
of
the
canning
and
we
get
rid
of
the
vagrants.
T
But
there
is
a
code
you
have
to
actually
talk
to
the
city
and
they'll
put
up
a
sign,
and
then
you
can
call
the
police
and
once
the
signs
there,
then
the
police
can
do
something
about
it.
But
I
just
think
that
you
guys
look
really
good
on
paper.
Everybody's
working
really
hard,
everybody's
filling
out
all
these
forms,
but
the
city's
really
really
going
downhill
and
it
just
sucks
for
people
to
try
to
live
here.
That's
all.
O
Would
like
to
respond-
and
I
know
that
we
don't
typically
like
to
respond
to
these
things,
but
there's
not
really
a
rule
against
it.
I
appreciate
that
there
are
problems
that
are
caused
in
our
city.
O
O
A
lot
of
the
time
and
not
quite
meeting
the
need
that
we
have
in
the
city,
and
so
what
I
take
from
hearing
these
concerns
and
we
have
had,
I
believe,
an
increase
in
concerns
about
panhandling,
which
is
first
amendment
protected
by
the
way
but
panhandling
and
and
loitering
and
people
camping.
K
Mr
mayor,
mr
mayor,
mr
mayor
pro
temp,
we
we
also
do
have
an
ordinance
in
place
for
panhandling.
That
also
needs
to
be
enforced.
It
it
it
is.
It
is
a
safety,
it
is
a
safety
issue.
There's
a
pedestrian
safety
right.
There.
K
Lloyd,
there's
no
point
panhandling,
but
there
is
a
safety
issue
with
one
specific
when
the
speed
is
at
a
certain
speed
on
a
street
and
you
have
a
pedestrian
there
with
their
dog.
I've
witnessed
this
dog
trying
to
bite
a
motorcycle
someone
on
a
motorcycle,
especially
when
you
haven't
given
them
any
money.
This
dog
right
here
he's
always
at
the
corner
of
army
post
road
and
floor
drive.
K
As
you
go
down
the
southwest
ninth
bridge,
where
there's
less
than
one
foot,
there's
pedestrians
hanging
over
the
bridge
that
someone's
going
to
get
killed,
so
we
do
have
things
in
place
that
need
to
be
enforced,
and
so
yes,
it
is
a
first
amendment
right,
but
it's
also
a
safety
issue
for
for
some
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
protect
them
to
be
able
to
have
their
first
amendment
right
or
else
that
that's
not
going
to
happen
as
far
as
the
businesses.
K
I
know
tara's
reached
out
multiple
times
to
every
single
person
at
this
council
and
she's
had
meetings,
but
no
one
is
acting
on
anything.
She
we've,
we
put
up
a
gate,
it's
gotten
worse,
I
mean
these.
Are
businesses
trying
to
survive
that
are
paying
taxes
that
are
that
are
paying
the
bills
at
the
city,
and
you
know
what
we
better
step
up
and
do
something
about
it
or
they're
not
going
to
be
here
and
they're
all
going
to
go
to
the
suburbs,
and
maybe
that's
what
some
of
you
want
sitting
up
here.
K
I
personally
do
not
as
a
business
owner
and
someone
that
depends
on
people
to
come
to
our
city
and
to
spend
money.
I
personally
don't
want
that
to
happen
as
a
taxpayer
of
the
city
of
des
moines.
That
is
not
what
should
be
taking
place.
We've
heard
it
multiple
times.
We've
had
multiple
people
come
in
and
tell
us.
We've
had
plenty
of
emails
that
has
people
tell
us
and
for
some
reason,
we're
scared
to
death.
K
We
better,
look
and
figure
out
what
we're
going
to
do
with
that,
and
if
that's
something
that
we've
got
to
direct
you
to
figure
out
what
we
got
to
do,
I'm
all
for
that,
because
you're
right
there
is
substance,
abuse
and-
and
you
know
what
that
is
running
rapid
in
our
city-
there's
meth
use,
there's
alcohol
use,
there's
all
kinds
of
drugs
fentanyl.
We
need
to
figure
out
how
to
get
a
grip
on
it
and
and
whether
we
work
with
primary
care
or,
however,
we're
going
to
do
it.
K
E
Council
member,
I
agree,
I
mean
everybody
should
be
able
to
be
safe,
they
should
be
able
to
walk
outside
of
a
hotel
and
not
have
somebody
accost
them
or
be
robbed
or
whatever.
Nobody
should
have
that
in
any
city.
I
appreciate
many
of
the
people
that
they
don't
want
to
go
into
the
shelter
they
don't
want
to
fall,
as
many
cases
follow
the
rules
if
they
are
drunk
or
have
drug
issues.
E
That's
why
we're
trying
to
work
with
polk
county
on
getting
a
sobering
center
so
that
we
have
some
place
safe
to
take
people,
so
they
can
get
the
treatment.
Hopefully
they
need
and
get
them
on
a
course
or
trajectory
that
is
in
a
more
beneficial
way,
but
I
know
a
lot
of
the
people
when
you
hear
I've
heard
more
aggressive
behavior
on
the
panhandling.
E
I've
heard
more
aggressive,
behavior
out
on
the
streets
than
I
have
heard
in
the
past
and
in
some
form
we
need
to.
This
isn't
just
a
des
moines
issue,
because
many
of
these
people
aren't
from
des
moines
they're
coming
into
this
city,
and
I
know
that
you
know
everybody
needs
help,
but
we
need
to
do
this
collectively.
This
isn't
just
a
des
moines
issue.
They
seem
to
be
congregating
here.
I
do
think
we
need
to
enforce
issues
that
we
have.
E
O
We
are,
we
are
working
on
those
things
on
the
homeless
coordinating
council,
but
I
will
say
that
we
know
that
the
tools
that
we
have
right
now
are
not
solving
the
problem,
and
so
we
can't
just
say
we
need
to
enforce
more.
We
need
to
enforce
more.
We
know
that
that
doesn't
solve
the
problem
and
when
we
ask
where
is
camping,
allowed
clarifying
where
camping
is
loud
and
where
it's
not,
there
isn't
camping
allowed
anywhere?
Where
are
people
supposed
to
go
when
they
don't
have
anywhere
to
live?
K
H
E
A
A
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
that
folks
don't
see,
but
we're
we're
we're
trying
to
work
through
processes
where
we
get
street
outreach
to
those
folks.
So
at
at
sixth
avenue,
we've
had
multiple
conversations
with
street
outreach,
we've
also
enforced.
You
know
one
of
the
challenges,
though,
and
I've
been
there.
A
You
know
I
walk
by
by
the
hotel
and
sixth
avenue
on
a
regular
basis.
I've
actually
been
there
when
an
officer
was
waiting
for
the
drunk
tank
to
take
someone
take
someone
away,
probably
responding
to
a
call
enforcement
like
that.
Doesn't
change
that
person's
circumstance,
because
they're
taken
away
they're
held
for
the
time
they
can
be
held.
A
It
does
not
change
the
circumstances,
so
we've
got
to
work
holistically.
We
know
I
do
think.
A
sobering
center
is
a
piece
of
what
what
we
need
in
this
community,
we're
going
to
keep
working
towards
solutions
and
I'd
like
to
ask
staff.
I
know
folks
have
been
in
in
contact
with
the
surety,
but
I'd
like
for
additional
staff
follow
up
and
conversation
there
with.
A
We
can
have
additional
conversation
both
from
neighborhood-based
service
delivery,
but
also,
let's
make
sure
chris
johansen
and
street
outreach
folks
are
also
involved
in
that
as
well.
K
I've
particularly
asked
for
a
sobering
center
for
the
last
four
years
and
nothing's
happened.
So
I
you
know
you
you
guys
are
on
the
homeless
coalition,
I'd
like
to
know
where
we're
at
with
that
and
who
you're
working
with
and
how
we're
going
to
accomplish
it,
because
I
personally
is
at
that
I've
had
many
times.
I've
had
conversations
and
we're
going
to
put
it
here,
we're
going
to
put
it
here
and
then
the
funding
falls
through
and
then
we
don't
do
it,
and
for
two
years
I
haven't
heard
anything
about
it.
E
Boson,
I
was
just
at
a
meeting
with
broadlawns
where
they
brought
in
the
community
many
communities
together
and
they
are
seriously
looking
at
and
I
think
they
have
perspective
possible
site.
It
is
getting
everything
in
a
row,
but
it's
with
polk
county
and
there
will
be
follow-up
meetings.
They
are
serious
about
doing
it
with
broadlawns.
E
The
new
ceo
is
very,
I
know
much
behind
it
and
I
think
it
will
happen
and
it
will
happen.
Hopefully,
within
a
year
this
year,.
A
Thank
you
for
the
discussion.
I
think
we
have
some
direction
for
the
the
city
manager
and
with
that
we
can.
K
H
A
And
we
can
move
on
to
our
next
agenda
item,
which
I
think
takes
us
to
the
so.
A
A
I'll
just
start
these
couple
of
items,
but
by
noting
we
had
a
work
session
this
morning
on
the
nationwide,
the
nationwide
building
and
the
potential
for
the
city
to
acquire
that
property.
A
So
I'm
excited
that
we
have
this
opportunity
and
I
turn
it
over
to
the
manager.
If
you
want
to
add
anything.
G
Just
just
a
few
words
to
the
public,
because,
yes,
we
had
this
conversation
this
morning
at
7
30,
but
it
is
transforming
in
the
sense
that
we
have
well
over
100
year
old
buildings
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
get
our
staff
into
more
efficient
space
designed
for
21st
century
office
uses
there.
It
will
impact
no
less
than
six
locations
across
the
city
where
staff
are
currently
working
out
of
and
consolidate
that
and
get
the
efficiencies
out
of
having
them
closer
together
working
together.
G
So
it's
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
also
hit
the
market
at
its
low
point
in
the
sense
of
avoiding
the
highest
cost
for
construction
by
not
constructing
the
building
across
the
street,
but
rather
purchasing
what
is
vacant
office
space
today
at
a
very
reasonable
price,
and
it
is
a
win-win
situation
with
nationwide.
I
really
appreciate
them
working
with
us
on
this
project
as
well
as
all
the
staff.
G
Matt
anderson
led
the
effort,
but
tom
fisher
was
crucial
on
the
legal
work,
jim
hoff,
with
the
facilities
and
many
many
others
that
chimed
in
so
very
great
great
opportunity.
G
The
this
item
here
in
front
of
you
is
not
associated
with
with
the
purchase,
but
rather
some
cleanup
opportunities
in
other
arrangements
that
we
had
with
nationwide
so
but.
O
Unless
scott
had
anything
more
to
say,
I
we've
had
many
conversations
about
what
buildings
we
needed
to
acquire.
If
we
were
going
to
update
buildings
that
we
currently
had
or
not.
So
those
conversations
have
been
going
on
for
months,
and
I
had
had
those
conversations
for
months
with
staff
about
you
know
a
potential
city,
annex
or
or
buying
nationwide
building
or
updating
some
of
our
older
buildings.
O
Not
once
in
any
of
those
conversations
was
the
police
station
mentioned,
I
don't
believe
it's
appropriate
for
the
police
station
to
be
in
the
same
building
as
other
city
services,
where
people
can
go
to
deal
with
city
problems.
I
not
once
was
it
mentioned
specifically
when
I
asked
about
money
that
we
were
allocating
with
arpa.
O
I
asked
what
that
money
was
going
to
and
I
believe
that
money
is
being
allocated
for
a
renovation
police
station
was
not
mentioned
when
I
specifically
asked
police
station
was
not
mentioned
at
any
time
in
build
up
to
this
decision
before
nationwide
was
a
part
of
it
in
the
discussion
about
buying
the
nationwide
building,
and
while
I
do
think
that
getting
this
space
for
the
city
is
going
to
be
very
good
for
a
lot
of
our
departments,
specifically
getting
I.t
out
of
the
armory,
I'm
very
supportive
of
that,
because
there
has
been
intentional
misrepresentation
of
the
project
it
has
lost.
O
N
Just
wanted
to
make
a
comment.
I
fully
support
it.
I
did
receive
a
couple
of
phone
calls
today
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
publicly
that
this
building
is
not
being
abandoned.
The
concern
was
the
news
had
said.
City
hall
was
moving
and
I
assured
the
callers
that
no
we're
not
leaving.
We
may
move
some
departments
around
like
human
services.
N
Human
rights
department,
who's
at
river
place
may
come
here
and
we
may
move
another
department
to
another
building,
but
we
will
not
be
leaving
this
building
and
as
far
as
the
other
buildings,
I
think
the
we
should
work
on
getting
the
message
about
why
we
need
additional
space.
I
mean
the
historians
have
called
me
and
said:
hey
these
are
beautiful
buildings.
We
don't
want
to
see
them
turned
into
condos.
I
just
think
I
think
we
need
to,
and
I
know
that
we
will
work
to
make
it
the
best
possible
use
for
those
buildings.
E
Member,
I
just
want
to
thanks
for
clarifying
that
linda,
because
I
had
a
lot
of
I
had.
Maybe
the
same
people
call.
I
think
that
the
importance
of
this
is
no
matter.
It's
a
chance
for
us
to
really
utilize
a
building
to
get
our
staff,
whether
it
be
the
place
whether
it
bit
whether
into
a
more
modern
facility
and
the
opportunity
for
redevelopment
of
the
space
right
across
the
street,
is
where
we
were
projecting
a
36
million
dollar
building.
E
So
for
30
million
plus
a
parking
garage,
we
get
everybody
from
three
basically
buildings
into
one:
an
opportunity
to
redevelop
that
land,
the
land
down
the
armory
and
then
also
the
police
station,
which
is
the
whole
market
area,
is
being
redeveloped.
So
I
think
it's
a
win
for
this
community
of
possibility
of
redevelopment
and
it
gets
us
into
buildings
where
we
can
provide
the
correct
space
for
our
employees.
K
Yeah,
absolutely
scott,
I
I
appreciate
you
and
your
team
thinking
out
of
the
box
and
and
getting
us
to
this
point.
You
know
our.
We
talk
about
the
not
only
the
police
facility,
but
the
police
training
facility
that
was
built
in
1973.
K
That
has
one
shower
for
a
woman,
and
we've
always
talked
about
upgrading
that
the
third
party
review
is
going
to
show
that
our
facilities
need
upgraded.
So
I
appreciate
you
getting
out
in
front
of
it
and
one
question
I
did
ask
today
to
you
and
you
answered
it.
I
think
it
would
be
beneficial.
This
does
not.
We
have
36
million
in
our
cip
budget.
K
K
Yes,
that's
I
just
wanted.
I
think
it
would
be
one.
I
did
hear
the
same
report
linda
that
you
were
talking
about
and
got
the
same
calls
from
a
station
that
said
that
we
put
all
this
money
into
this
building
and
then
we
were
leaving
this
building
and
buying
a
different
building.
So
it's
unfortunate
that
some
some
some
can't
get
the
story
correct,
but
I'm
glad
that
we
were
able
to
to
put
the
record
straight
tonight.
A
A
Item
3
is
approving
waiver
and
consent
to

of
