After 15 months, the Des Moines City Council will resume in-person meetings Monday, but not without first implementing a number of new public health and security measures at City Hall.
To start, according to a Tuesday news release, the building will close at 4 p.m. ahead of council meetings to allow for a security sweep. The building will reopen to the public at 4:30 p.m., effectively pushing back the start of council meetings to 5 p.m.
Members of the public will be able to enter the building from the center doors on the east side or through doors located on the west side, which is ADA accessible.
The Des Moines City Council unanimously voted Monday to offer forgivable loans and reimbursements for city staffers housing costs in an effort to incentivize them to ditch the suburbs and come live where they work in Des Moines.
Currently, only 38% of city staff live in Des Moines, and just 18% of the Des Moines Police Department employees live where they serve, according to city spokesperson Al Setka.
The Des Moines Civil and Human Rights Commission recommended the policy to city officials in 2019 as part of its Bridging the Gap initiative, a project focused on achieving equity through systemic change.
The program is modeled after other programs around the country and aims to promote employee investment within the city and enhance employee-community relations, a news release said.
The city of Des Moines now officially owns an 11-story parking garage that s part of embattled project The Fifth, which was in foreclosure after the developers failed to pay a construction loan.
A $42 million purchase agreement was finalized last week, according to documents filed with the Polk County Recorder s Office. With this action, the foreclosure petition against the developers, brothers Justin and Sean Mandelbaum and their company, Mandelbaum Properties, has been dropped though legal wrangling over other, undeveloped land on the site continues.
The 751-stall garage, located on Fifth Avenue between Court Avenue and Walnut Street, was the first of three buildings, including a 40-story skyscraper and a three-story movie theater, planned for the landmark development.
