and
we
want
to

a
a
just
a
week
during.
C
B
Now
therefore,
I
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Des
Moines,
on
behalf
of
our
city
council
and
the
citizens
of
Des
Moines,
who
hereby
proclaim
the
week
of
May
22nd
to
26
2023,
is
National
Public
Works
week
in
the
city
of
Des,
Moines
and
I
call
on
all
of
our
citizens
and
Civic
organizations
to
acquaint
themselves
with
the
issues
involved
in
providing
our
Public
Works
and
to
recognize
the
contributions
which
Public,
Works
and
Engineering
officials
make
every
day
to
our
health,
safety,
comfort
and
quality
of
life.
Let's
give
all
these
people
a
great
big
hand.
B
C
Sure
this
is
a
personal
award.
That
was
that
that
was
that
was
given
to
me
by
the
American
public
works
Association
out
of
30
000
members
every
year
since
about
1960
something
the
association
has
picked.
The
top
10
Public
Works
leaders
of
the
year
for
that,
given
year
and
I,
was
honored
to
be
selected
as
one
of
the
top
10
leaders
for
this
year
in
2023.,
so
I
was
successfully
wrote
up
my
boss
in
2012.
C
It
was
quite
an
undertaking
even
more
of
an
undertaking
to
do
my
own
write-up
20
pages
of
of
application,
basically
a
career
retrospective,
and
after
a
little
bit
of
that,
you
realize
oh
enough
already
just
cap
it
at
19
and
ship
it.
So
it
was.
It
was
a
a
tremendous,
honor
and
I'm
pleased
to
be
able
to
share
that
with
you.
B
And
Des
Moines
just
keeps
getting
these
honors
from
Public
Works
to
parks
to
so
many
other
things
and
we're
proud
of
it
and
we're
proud
of
our
citizens
and
an
awful
lot
of
everything
that
we
do
here
is
because
of
the
work
that
this
Council
does
and
the
input
that
we
received
from
our
citizens
about
what's
wrong.
What's
right,
what
do
we
need
to
work
on
together?
B
How
do
we
improve
everything
from
our
parks
to
our
streets,
to
our
sidewalks,
to
our
sewer,
to
protect
everybody
from
flooding,
and
it's
that
input
that's
so
helpful
to
us?
Is
we
make
a
strategic
plan
to
carry
out
those
actions
that
will
deliver
what
we
hope
to
be
the
city
that
we
all
hope
to
live
in
ourselves
and
for
generations
to
come
after
us?
So
congratulations,
this
city,
we
do
have.
D
E
B
And
since
1978,
the
lgbtq
community
of
Des
Moines
has
annually
celebrated
pride
month
in
the
month
of
June
honoring,
the
fight
for
equality
for
the
lgbtq
plus
community
and
the
progress
made
each
year
and
whereas
everyone
should
be
able
to
live
and
Thrive
without
fear
of
prejudice,
discrimination,
violence
and
hatred
based
on
their
gender
identity
and
or
sexual
orientation.
And
whereas
various
advancements
have
been
made
with

My

raised

Chesterfield

This
is
why
we

Community
use
over
17
years
ago.
We

are
the
only
things
that
are
Jim

B
L
My
name
is
Jolene
Prescott
I
live
at
3013
3rd
Street,
which
is
not
very
far
from
this
park.
I
am
so
glad
to
see
this
coming
to
fruition.
I
remember
way
back
when
we
started
all
of
this
for
Riverview
and
I
really
want
to
see
Riverview
become
a
destination
and
not
just
a
park
in
this
town.
I
think
it's
money
well
spent
and
thank
you
for
all
the
hard
work
that
has
gone
into
doing
this.
My
kids
love
that
Barbara.
My
grandkids
do.
M
First
of
all,
we
have
a
lot
of
people
to
thank
for
making
this
possible
Polk
County
partnered
they
came
in
and
they
put
in
the
the
roundabout
at
the
park
entrance.
So
now,
instead
of
gravel,
we
have
hard
surface.
So
if
you're,
handicapped
you'll
now
have
a
handicapped
spot
and
it's
easily
accessible,
we
also
have
a
million
dollar
playground
at
the
park
that
variety
club
paid
for
and
installed
in
the
Park
Forest,
and
this
restroom
I'm
happy
to
announce
will
have
adult
changing
tables.
M
So
people
that
come
to
the
park,
it
doesn't
matter
what
your
ability
is.
You
can
enjoy
the
park
and
enjoy
the
playground
area,
and
these
restrooms
will
have
adult
areas
where
they
can
have
changing
tables
for
adults.
So
thanks
to
Ben
Page
and
to
others,
I'm
just
really
pleased
that
that
we
have.
This
can.

he
has
a
communication
from
the
Planning

Zoning
commission
regarding
the
request
from
the
greater
Des
Moines
Habitat
for
Humanity
Ryan
Doyle
is
the
officer
for
review
and
approval
of
a
preliminary
habitat
for
East
46th
Street
to
allow
for
the
development
of
15
one
household
residential
lots
on
property
located
at
4320,
East,
46th,
Street,
council
member
westergard.
Thank.
M
B
F
I'm
sorry
Linda
Lawson,
Smith,
4280,
East,
46th
Street,
here
in
Des
Moines
and
as
councilman
westergard
said,
we
didn't
get
that
notice
of
the
meeting
and
everything.
But
what
I'm
asking
you
folks
to
do
is
to
request
request
approval
of
the
stubb
street
and
City
Utilities
to
the
2.88
parcel
to
the
south
of
the
Habitat
for
Humanity
project.
F
I
F
F
F
There's
another
picture
of
it:
it's
a
60
foot
wide
by
300
foot
in
length
and
the
property
is
maintained
by
the
owners
on
either
side
of
it.
Now
when
they
say
access,
that's
the
writer,
the
ability
to
approach
enter
or
use.
That's
why
this
is
a
right-of-way,
because
it
doesn't
give
the
right
to
pass
over
someone
else's
land,
so
a
street
would
have
to
be
built
here
and
then
it'd
have
to
cut
through
the
trees
that
are
there
that
have
been
there
for
the
last
60
years.
F
But
if
you
go
through
that
access
or
the
right-of-way,
you
come
out
on
East
44th
Street,
there
are
no
sidewalks
and
the
the
land
comes
down
and
goes
into
a
ditch
and
then
comes
up
to
the
street.
There's
no
Street
lighting,
because
all
of
this
was
built
before
this
we
were
incorporated
into
the
city.
The
people
would
have
to
come
down.
East
44th
Street,
go
to
Aurora
and
then
cross
up
again
with
no
sidewalks
and
anywhere
in
this.
F
F
But
that's,
but
the
properties
that
they're
wanting
to
show
okay,
the
property
number
five
is
the
one
that
they
would
be
using
for
the
stub
Street.
That's
5492
feet,
that's
the
smallest
square
footage
real
home
in
in
the
15,
Lots
and
property
number.
Six
has
12
144
square
feet
and
property.
Seven
has
thirteen
thousand
one
hundred
and
seventy
six
feet
and
I
was
just
doing
some
math.
F
Seven
would
have
ten
thousand
four
hundred
and
twenty
six
square
feet
more
than
enough,
even
more
than
what
property
number
five
has,
and
so
by
doing
that,
you
could
make
you
could
still
have
the
15
lots
and-
and
you
would
still
have
a
16th
lot
for
the
stub
Street
and
at
the
committee
meeting
this
year,
I
think
it
was
Mr
drost.
He
made
the
comment
to
the
to
the
commissioner
meet
at
the
meeting
that
the
substrate
would
also
serve
as
a
sidewalk
to
any
future
people
at
our
property
could
come.
F
O
Yeah,
we
can
maybe
hear
the
the
full
testimony
here
and
and
understand
that
the
size
of
the
lot
yeah,
as
you
have
shown
here,
it
doesn't
necessarily
help
you're
going
to
have
larger
Lots,
no
matter
what
at
the
end
of
the
cul-de-sac
and
so
there's
still
going
to
be
a
need
to
take
a
lot
most
likely
to
the
South
off
of
that
cul-de-sac.
So
it's
going
to
be
very
difficult
to
not
take
at
least
one
lot
because
you
still
have
to
have
so
much
Frontage
on
the
cul-de-sac.
O
F
M
P
M
Know
if
they're
Bust
or
how
I
mean
I,
don't
know
how
their
transportation
is
at
Southeast
schools
I
mean
they're,
not
using
that
area
now
to
get
to
school,
because
it's
it's
private
property,
it's
owned
by
The
Smiths,
so
nobody's
using
that
now
to
to
get
there
so
coming
through.
Wouldn't
it
wouldn't
make
any
difference.
I.
D
M
I,
don't
think
anybody
I
I'd
like
for
Lance
to
to
be
able
to
input
this
people
have
tried
to
buy
that
land
from
The
Smiths
in
the
past,
but
there's
no
utility
she
would
have
to
come
in
I've
always
been
told
that
you
would
have
to
come
in
from
the
other
direction
from
44th,
but
Lance
is
much
more
qualified
than
I
am.
But
I
can't
imagine
that
that
that
that
that
piece
of
land
that
the
Smithson
would
ever
be
developed
because
there's
no
utilities
there's
there
are
no
utilities,
there's
nothing
there.
M
It
would
have
to
come
in
a
long
ways,
habitats
already
having
to
bring
in
the
sewer
just
to
make
their
piece
work
from
the
in
front
of
Delaware
School
several
hundred
feet
to
come
in
to
do
this
so
they're,
putting
they're
putting
infrastructure
in
here
at
a
at
a
very
large
expense.
Just
to
make
this
happen
to
to
put
a
street
here
in
lot
5
for
future
development,
I
think
we're
putting
a
street
in
for
something
that
will
never
happen.
M
O
If
I
could
add
just
mayor,
there's
not
a
need
to
to
resolve
this
tonight.
We
need
to
hear
the
testimony.
This
is
a
preliminary
plot
and
so
there's
still
work
to
be
done,
and
so
we
wanted
to
make
you
aware,
give
them
the
opportunity
to
to
provide
this
testimony
and
then
continue
working
with
with
habitat
if
there
is
even
an
option
to
combine
these
projects
so.
B
F
M
The
only
option
is,
if
you
were,
if
you
wanted
to
sell
it,
you
would
have
to
talk
to
Habitat.
I
know.
Neighborhood
Finance
has
also
talked
to
you
and
you
said:
yeah
you'd
maybe
be
interested
in
selling,
but
you
had
no
price
for
it.
So
I
I
think
I
think
we're
a
little
late
to
the
game
to
get
somebody
to
develop
this
right
now.
B
M
M
It
does
not
that's
the
preliminary
plot
now,
there's
still
a
lot
of
work
to
do,
there's
still
things
that
can
be
worked
out,
but
our
job
tonight
is
just
to
approve
this
preliminary
plaque.
It's
not
to
it's
not
to
vote,
whether
there's
a
sub,
a
substrate
or
not
a
substrate
we're
just
approving
the
plant
that
was
approved
by
plan
and
Zone.
M
K
B
M
M
K
M
I
I
don't
have
an
answer
for
you
other
than
if
you're
interested
in
visiting
with
habitat.
You
could
certainly
talk
to
them.
You
could
talk
to
other
developers,
but
it
may
be
that
it
would
be
have
to
come
in
Access
through
your
property
because
you
own
the
property
in
front
of
it
yeah.
So
that
would
provide
access
to
that.
So
it's
not
really
landlocked.
You
could
come
in
through
there
and
then
the
city
has
the
stub
on
the
other
side.
That
would
be
for
a
future
Street.
M
Well,
I,
don't
think
you
missed
anything.
This
is
your
opportunity
plan
and
Zoning
approved
the
preliminary
plant
as
it
was
presented,
and
the
motion
that
I'll
make
tonight
will
be
to
to
approve
that
preliminary
plaque.
That's
a
preliminary
plant
there's
still
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and
that's
between
City
staff
habitat.
Whoever
else
is
involved.
O
O
Up
to
you,
so
it's
up
to
you!
If
I
could
councilman
it's
really
up
to
you
to
decide
as
a
property
owner
if
you
want
to
get
involved
in
developing
your
property
now
with
habitat
or
if
you
want
to
wait
and
use
that
street,
that
would
have
to
be
built
along
44th
to
give
access
to
your
property.
So
you
have
the
choice
of
waiting
and
only
using
that
access
or
working
with
habitat
today
to
to
work
through
one
of
their
Lots.
F
M
P
P
P
The
15
units,
with
the
cul-de-sac
just
one
habitat
for
Mandy-
we
are
a
non-profit
trying
to
build
houses
with
Workforce
housing.
Low-Income
families
across
the
community
also
do
major
repairs
and
do
homebuyer
counseling
Financial
education,
the
at
the
planning,
zoning
also
I,
think
I
believe
that
in
2019,
Planning
and
Zoning
approved
at
cul-de-sac,
as
well
as
it
was
going
through
on
their
staff,
did
recommend
the
street
stub
and
then
planning
zoning.
P
There,
too,
is
possibilities.
There's
challenges
on
developing
that
South
property,
both
water
and
storm
water-
are
significant
challenges
being
able
to
do
that.
One
thing
on
the
access
to
utilities:
what
we
did
agree
with
on
Planning
and
Zoning
is
that
we
would
do
an
easement
so
that
the
sewer
could
connect
through
there
as
part
of
that
being
able
to
do
that
project
on
there.
So
yeah.
D
Hypothetically,
if
that
self-plot
was
developed
in
the
future
and
their
kids,
who
live
there
and
going
to
at
Delaware
School
hey,
it
would
I
think
be
helpful
to
have
some
sort
of
sidewalk
access
to
the
cul-de-sac.
So
they
could
just
walk
that
block
rather
than
walk.
All
the
way
around
is
that
is
that
something
it.
P
D
K
P
P
That's
what
you
can
actually
write
down
today
and
I
think
there's
probably
some
other
unseen
costs
of
doing
that
and
then
to
develop
single
family
in
the
South
Side
law
down
there,
depending
on.
If
you
had
to
put
that
road
on
Northeast
44th
in
or
not,
the
Lots
would
work
out
somewhere
between
110
and
180
000
per
lot,
so
160
110
to
160
000
per
lot.
So
there's
some
significant
costs
there
in
being
able
to
do
something
like
that.

All
right,
our
next
piece
is
request
to
speak
from
some
of
our
residents
come
in
this
way,
the
public
speaking
items
for
again
for
our
citizens.
Speaking
this
evening
under
the
public
speaking
item,
we
will
only
be
calling
on
those
who
have
registered
to
speak.
All
speakers
must
comply
with
the
rules
regarding
their
names
and
addresses,
or
they
will
not
be
recognized.
Each
of
the
three
speakers
this
evening
will
receive
two
minutes
each
to
make
their
comments.
B
Please
keep
your
own
time
because
at
the
end
of
the
time
the
clerk
will
announce
time
and
the
speaker
Mike
will
be
closed
and
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
speaker.
We
want
to
hear
from
our
residents
and
we
encourage
residents
to
be
respectful
of
others,
viewpoints
and
comments,
and
even
if
they
have
different
ideas
from
their
own,
let's
go
ahead
and
get
started.
N
So
I
can't
help
but
notice
that
Linda
cares
a
lot
about
hearing
from
her
constituents.
That's
genuinely
awesome,
but
I'm
a
little
confused
as
to
why
she,
nor
any
of
you,
will
support
a
virtual
meeting
model
like
in
Iowa,
City
I.
Think
it's
genuinely
really
funny
that
council
is
always
more
than
ready
to
tout
everything
they've
accomplished
at
the
drop
of
a
hat,
but
when
they
are
presented
with
a
simple
logistical
problem,
like
virtual
meetings,
it
somehow
becomes
an
impossible
request.
N
N
I
also
can't
help,
but
note
that
in
2020
the
council
emphatically
repeated
that
it
exists
to
conduct
the
city's
business,
yet
nowadays
it's
often
referred
to
as
the
council's
business.
That's
really
strange
to
me,
perhaps,
though,
instead
of
asking
who
the
city
is
for,
we
can
ask
how
to
ensure
that
the
right
to
urban
life
is
respected
or
better
yet
whose
rights
to
Urban
Life
are
respected.
N
N
If
you
can't
get
around
because
the
city
neglects
its
public
transportation
system,
is
your
right
to
urban
life
being
respected
if
you
can't
get
to
a
grocery
store
or
a
clinic
or
a
pharmacy
in
a
reasonable
amount
of
time,
because
there
just
aren't
anywhere
you
live?
Is
your
right
to
urban
life
being
respected
if
you
pay
local
taxes
and
get
nothing
in
return
in
the
way
of
services,
because
the
city
wants
to
spend
that
money
on
more
weapons
for
more
cops,
is
your
right
to
urban
life
being
respected?
N
N
Q
Hello,
my
name
is
Adam
callanan,
ward,
3
and
Trigger
warning
will
be
talking
about
some
police
violence.
At
the
start
of
this
meeting
mayor
County
read
a
pride
month.
Proclamation
I
wanted
to
note
in
hearing
that
I
wanted
to
note
that
dmpd
rated
a
gay
bar
during
pride
month
in
2020,
seemingly
for
offering
first
aid
to
protesters
and
unless
I've
missed
an
update
from
the
courts.
The
city
is
still
fighting
the
victims
of
that
raid
in
court
years
later.
Q
I
also
wanted
to
note
that
a
last
minute
was
item.
Last
minute
item
was
added
late
to
this
meeting's
agenda
without
context
at
first
I'm,
just
saying
it
was
hiring
outside
of
council
due
to
a
conflict
of
interest,
which
means
City
is
hiring
private
lawyers
instead
of
using
its
own
for
something
I
have
not
seen
any
explanation
of
what
the
conflict
is
provided
even
now.
This
morning,
on
the
day
of
the
meeting,
there
was
more
context
added
to
this
item,
but
still,
unless
I
missed
something
which
is
possible
because
it
was
added
very
late.
Q
Q
Similarly,
Tomorrow
there's
a
work
session
that
the
internet
said
it's
for
governance,
I,
don't
know
what
governance
means
every
meeting
the
city
has
is
to
do
with
governance.
So,
to
me
this
seems
to
violate
the
I,
will
meet
open
meetings,
law
I,
don't
know
what
your
meeting
is
about
tomorrow,
but
you're
supposed
to
announce
that
at
least
24
hours
before
the
meeting
anyway.
Thank
you,
foreign.
R
R
Okay,
I'm
going
to
start
with
this
I've
been
in
Des
Moines
44
years
I
raised
my
family.
My
children
have
moved
away,
I
have
grandkids
kids
I'm,
a
veteran
I've
ran,
I've
walked,
I've,
rode,
bicycle
I,
rode,
motorcycle
I
was
right
off
the
road
by
a
motorcycle
people
in
cars,
don't
really
see
Walkers
bicyclists
or
motorcycle
people.
They
they're
looking
for
a
different
thing.
R
Unfortunately,
that's
the
case
the
history
44
years
ago
downtown
it
was
hard
to
get
around
downtown.
It
really
was
and
we
as
a
stranger,
so
the
traffic
was
difficult,
and
so
now
there
are
about
400
000
people
back
then,
in
the
greater
Des
Moines
area.
Now,
there's
about
what
do
I
know:
800
000
people
in
the
greater
Des
Moines
area
within
25
miles
of
here.
R
In
addition
to
that,
there's
a
million
people
that
come
to
the
fair
or
more
there
are
people
coming
to
Des
Moines,
all
the
time
the
fair
goes
on
all
year
round,
there's
always
something
going
out
there
we
have
strangers
in
Iowans
coming.
We
have
people
from
all
over
the
country,
the
interstates
bring
people
to
Des
Moines.
My
point
is
this:
we
we
are
not
getting
smaller,
we
are
getting
bigger
and-
and
so
this
is
an
action
plan
for
zero
deaths
by
20,
20
40..
Here's
my
action
plan
forget.
