Yes, Pramayam has been passed. The hearing is over after 5 hours and 7 minutes. The next item is the 8th, which is the approval of the bond and the karar and bond for the new construction that comes under the Ayova Code Malsara Bidu Parithi. Greenwood Park Bond Bridge is an absolute concrete construction that operates as an absolute group. President Rick Pearson has $77,400. I think there are two people who would like to speak. So, Councillor Bose.

I'll start. There was a bridge on the north side of Greenwood Lagoon. It was part of the Mary Miss installation. When the Mary Miss project was going on, it was cancelled. It feels like last year. Anyway, it feels like that bridge has been lost. This is a great example of how a person can make a difference. Dayan felt that the bridge had been lost. He spoke to the people in the city. He found a person who was willing to pay to rebuild the bridge. I think this is a great example. Dayan is showing an old saying. I think Dalai Lama said this first. If you think it is an unchangeable book. You have not tried to sleep in a room with a bed. I did not make Dayan sleep with a bed. I turned him away. They worked very hard to complete this. I think this will be useful for other people in Greenwood Park. So, this is Josh's way of doing things. This is a very good method in the future. Yes. I appreciate Karl's comments. I also thank Diana for her support. Let me remind you that this is just the beginning. The Greenwood farm is not completely abandoned. The promise we made to the people of the country is that it will continue as part of our park constitution and that their facilities will be improved in the future. We know that the budget is huge, but that doesn't mean that we can't apply for new things. Especially when we have so many people who are so busy, we have a vision of how this park should be and what facilities are needed. I believe that there will be people who will work with us to make these things real, to find funds, and to collect those facilities. Therefore, I think that we should stop this protest and think about what changes we can make in this period. So, Josh, do you want to announce this? Of course. I am happy to announce the eighth issue. I applaud Josh. So... Yes, this is a great method. I am very grateful to our supporters who have come forward. So, this has been announced and applauded. Please vote.

7. Yes.

Pramayam passed. The next topic is the ninth one. I think it is 9a. 590. Is it acceptable to name the Karis Cold Coil Thimline Trail Stop? Cold. Kanakkar Trail. I should have known that. Oh, today's evening is happy.

Two small steps are moving forward in our parks and trails. In order to build a stop on this trail, more than 60 people have taken part. Our friends in Kareel and friends in Kareel Park have also taken part in this process. I have a lot to say about the events that Tim Lane gave to this society. He worked in the Iowa Department of Public Health for 30 years. He also worked for his stepmother, Chapman Karen, for 19 years. He was a volleyball player. He established Team Skunk. He has completed 50 cycles in Iowa. Let me give you a small example of Tim's humor. When he grew up in Waterloo, he was very proud of losing to Dan Gable. In basketball, he decided to go from one end of America to the other end of the Pacific Ocean to go to the Atlantic in a cycle. So he went to the Tim Panama Canal and took 6 hours to get from one sea to another. This is a small part of the diversification Tim did. He was the first to see a bike share program at a national conference in Denver, and then he brought the idea of turning his demo bike into a bicycle program. So, I would like to move 9 forward. I vote for Pindu. I voted for both Nirdesh and Pindu. Please vote. 7. Yes. Pramayam passed.

Next question.

The second phase of the fourth urban revitalization plan, which will be suspended temporarily on December 31, 2026, will also be suspended temporarily according to the schedule of 91426. Thank you, Mayor. I am happy to see this progress in the agenda. We started this discussion in the work session held on 8th June. We discussed that this short-term schedule is a disadvantage as it does not allow financial investment to enter into a new financial structure and that it will reduce our income. That is why I am happy to be able to take regular walks. Since this has been decided as a hearing, there are still three weeks left for the hearing. I would like to take a little more strict walk. We had yoga on June 8th. Other cities are passing through the same circumstances. On June 12, Pleasant Hill immediately reduced its population. So we've been waiting for this for three months. I don't think it's a bad idea to give a few notices. I think it's a good idea to give a few more examples about the notices we give. I'm suggesting that there should be a separation within the month of October. People with permits should come again. They need at least a year to complete the construction work, but the process needs to start a little earlier. I know that there is no limit to that, but if everyone agrees, we can make it happen according to the law. If there is no limit, we don't have to worry about it. But if there is a limit, we will be ready to move forward without delaying the steps. Therefore, my expectation is that this time period can be made earlier. But I will leave it to my co-operators. I would like to take this matter forward, and if the Council has permission, I would like to ask the people in need to bring the information about the earlier avoidance. Then take it forward just like that, Josh. Okay, we'll take it forward just like that. If the council wants to avoid early hearing, give instructions to the law department to prepare documents that can be used for hearing. If so, if we are not doing this now, if we have to wait until hearing, we will have to postpone it and bring it back in the next session. If we ask the Department of Justice to bring the documents, we will be able to process the documents or move forward as planned. I need the opportunity to process the documents in the next session. That's all I need. Therefore, if the Council wishes to move this forward, I strongly urge the residents to come up with documents that will be removed in October instead of December. Mayor, me, me. I can understand where the council council is going. We are in a difficult situation, but... I have not fully understood how this will affect the development of our city. There are plenty of farms and vegetables in Ward 4. There is a Malinajala system and water supply there. Now they don't have any financial resources to do anything. We all know that many of the homes that we are able to afford are run by homeless people. Many multi-family homes are also run by homeless people. We expect to get another solution, but it has not been clearly explained so far. Therefore, we talk a lot about the cost and the homes that we are able to afford. This will affect it negatively. Everyone knows that if we don't do anything, people will lose their jobs. What we heard was part of the Council's and Simpson's speeches. The Council's and Westinghouse's speeches were part of it. They told us that no one would build a building here. But I don't fully believe that. I think we will see a breakthrough in this in a short time. So, I'm not sure how much I'm interested in making this a little faster. Okay. So, again... If the Mayor allows, I agreed to this two years ago when you were Mayor. That was about two years ago. As an architect, I feel that we have given too much in terms of the amount of money. So, the government has given us a chance to stop this. That's a good thing. But... The amount of money can be returned. That would be a good thing. According to Josh's suggestion, I don't think there's a problem with that. I don't know what changes are going to come in the next four weeks. Anyway, it's okay. Then I don't want to come here and make such suggestions without discussing it in advance. But I support this suggestion. Because we still have time to talk to our developers. Demoins has the highest price limit. I know that they have been selling their properties for years because of the price limit that has been discussed with the developers. Some of them will have to reduce it. For example, if they sell half of a house in a development, the rest will be given some insurance. Therefore, we should pay attention to the insurance given to those who buy with the possibility of being a developer. However, Josh, your request is to make this four weeks early. Why? However, I support this. Forgive me. Can you make this suggestion clear? Tell me exactly what it is. Instead of January 1, we are doing this on December 1. We are not changing anything now. We are doing it. Hearing is decisive. Hearing is decisive. Let me say this in line with Mike's opinion. I am only asking for an opportunity. That is, an opportunity to discuss the fact that this has been stopped early. If we don't make these options available to the staff now, we won't be able to discuss it in the hearing. So, this is a suggestion for that discussion. I know that other people don't want to work with this, and it's possible that things will happen like in Karada Rega, but I think this discussion is a good one. I would like to make it a little earlier for the Council to agree with Simpson. That is, this is all we are doing. The response to the question of where the Legislative Assembly stands, is that if you complete all this and if you are willing, things will not change. If they take the permit, we will still give people time. I have no objection to giving them a year to complete this, but it depends on how we avoid it. Then I will understand it. So, thank you for the donation. If this is not a donation, I will try to hold discussions within the next three weeks. We can also take the initiative to prepare other food. But I wanted to conduct this discussion in our work session. We have the opportunity to conduct this discussion. Let me ask this to the public. You are not making a special proposal for the rainy season. Instead, you are asking people to bring in another option beyond the rainy season, right? Yes. You want it earlier.

That's right.

That is, before the rainy season. So, in September, when we come back, we will have more options to discuss. That's right. That's why I insist on creating more options. I don't know if the people who voted for me were aware of the rainy season, but I'm ready to vote for other options. So, since this decision is very important, I'm in favor of this vote because it gives me more options to think about. We only have options to make a difference. So, Scott, I have a question for you.

In this matter, I have worked with Cody Christensen personally.

All the councils have been talking about this, right? Is this how it is? Yes, it has happened. But, in my personal view, millions of different options have been offered. I don't know about others, because I wasn't there at those meetings. So, I'm thinking. Yes, I don't understand why we are doing this. One minute, I know that crores and millions will be in the same direction. And we can give auctions to the living. But this job has been decided to be completed by the end of the year, but I don't want to ignore the view of the house builders who have not received all the permits so far. That's why I think it would be a big mistake for them to end this so quickly. Nevertheless, I need to talk to Kodi about the progress of the construction projects that have been granted by the permit. Can I explain? Thank you, Kodi. That's what came to my mind.

I am Cody Christensen, Development Services Director. To answer your questions, I have put forward the instructions for the implementation of the non-contradictory method. All the methods that have been implemented to get the permit and to start construction are intended to be completed by the end of this year. Therefore, their non-contradictory approach will increase by the end of this year. This was a tough decision. As far as the Council is concerned, this is a challenging decision. The aim of the proposal is to establish a relationship with the development community in Desamoine to ensure financial responsibility. Therefore, wherever we set a time limit, there will be some methods that cannot be implemented. They will be satisfied with that time limit. Wherever we set a time limit, there will be such an opportunity. Can we make other options? Certainly, we can. We can bring her to Yoga on September 14th. Will we get her? That is, are we conducting this discussion on the 14th itself?

Or in the work session? Or what are we doing? This is not an ordinary way. We will have to see what it is. It is very disappointing to see things like this at the end of the day, especially when we have only the best staff. It took time for this. All of us have taken the time to see you and said what we should do. Now, at the end of the day, we need different options. It's not right for us to say we want to talk about this. If we have to talk about this in the workshop, why should we send it on Wednesday? I have no objection to that. That's why we have that option.

The reason is... We are talking about about one month. You have to submit a notice in the morning itself.

Accept it as an alternative. We have a work session, right? Can't we make it a part of the work session, like a roadmap before the decision? Yes, we can't do that on Wednesday. We can't include it in our discussions. Tom, I think we can add an agenda that does not give directions to this Wednesday. Okay, so do you have any different options that you have explained to me? I don't know what you have explained to others, but you have given me some options. So, there are two main steps in the direction. 1. Apply for a permit. 2. Issue a permit. Then start the project. When? Within a year. I thought that a permit would be enough only at the end of the year. Then, that permit is valid for a year. So, to get a permit, you need to get a permit for any project and start the project. Okay. At the end of the year. So, according to the monthly plan for any such project, there is a complete termination schedule. Okay. That permit can be changed.

Or, the permit can be changed. I am saying that we are doing it only because we are investing in it at the end of the year. Okay. That decision is made based on the office calendar year of the assessor.

So, if we try to make it early, it will be more difficult to make a comprehensive plan. So, if you are thinking of making changes to the council, I suggest that you only change the final decision before issuing the permit.

Then the last question.

It can be as you wish, I think. This is completely the Council's decision. Council member Manab, do you want to stop this hearing as soon as possible? Is that what you think? I don't know what your opinion is. I would like to know what you think here. Yes, I didn't get a chance to talk about it. Because I was in a hurry, I thought I was the last person Kodi saw. But my opinion with Kodi is that I liked the fact that there are two different types of checkposts in this. Right? Permit has a checkpost and a checkpost that applies to Permit. It says to increase the cost within one year. That's why I thought it was a little different. Okay, if you're interested in this, this is going to end, or we started talking about this in June. You have received this information after 3 months of knowing. We can make the permit checkpoint, i.e., not the value add checkpoint, just the permit checkpoint, a little earlier. Then things will happen quickly. Then, But that doesn't make a difference. Because even if there is a value add, if you don't get a permit within October, you won't have started the project. So it doesn't make a big difference.

Yes, that's right. No, it will make a big difference.

Mayor, I'm following my second opinion. When you think about the development business, it's not a simple one with only two steps to get a permit and start construction. I discussed about the SCOTE contracts. When I talk to SCOTE developers, I think they will make contracts with people who do not get the permit, those who do not start construction, and those who cannot start it for months. And I am happy to hear that, but I don't think there will be any special benefits because of this.

What I have to say more is that I am not sure about December 31. If I decide to build a new house in Des Moines today, the plan, specifications, and design will be completed by December. December 31 will be a very busy time. I'm not happy with December 31, but I... Okay, that's it. I'm saying that December 31 is a very busy time.

For example, if I am going to buy something, some developers have given their plots to other builders, and they start working on it with others. Then I don't know about the two touch points. If you don't get a value on December 31, you won't get a permanent amount. That's very easy. I don't like other check points. That is, it's very clear. I don't understand why we are organizing this.

At the end of the day, we know that we are organizing this. When we try to communicate with the developers and everyone with good faith, I think that adding another layer is a great organization. We are at the end of this. I believe that this is what many of us wanted and agreed upon. So we are in today's agenda.

I, Pramayam, am withdrawing. We can talk about this on Wednesday. I don't have a problem with that. He, Pramayam, is withdrawing.

Pramayam, the topic of discussion today. I need to approve 29 more.

Okay. I am withdrawing. Okay. So, we can vote. Okay. Yes, this is a pass.

Next item, 35. A serious violation of the St. Vincent DePaul Society's Storage Locker Pilot system for people with disabilities.

Yes, I appreciate this. If Chris Johanson is going to move forward, I have a few questions to ask about this suggestion. I have received a lot of feedback on this from the audience today. I would like to find some practical ways to better understand this and move forward. So, Chris, can you explain what the purpose of this suggestion is? Certainly. Mayor, Council Members, I am Chris Johansen, Neighborhood Service Director. As part of the Bloomberg Harvard City Initiative, we focused on the issue of urban mobility. Among the first things we did, 25 different events were held in one community immediately. 20 people with mobility disabilities were among them. We used the information we got from them to see other workers and held sessions of non-profit use. If you remember the discussion we had with some council members, we found 10 things from it. One of them is storage lockers. We would like to talk about how we got to this point. One of the most important things we heard from people like Vavanara is that it is very important for them to keep their personal belongings safe. People's Certificates, Social Security Cards, and other things that need to be protected. So, finding a safe place was one of the things we found. Through our observation, we understood that other communities also use storage lockers. That's how we got to this point. Moreover, we first asked the community about where to take action. People with disabilities were trying to find places to go. Storage lockers had to be placed inside the building, so they couldn't be placed outside. Also, finding a place where they could be kept was another challenge. That is, there were 18 different places as options in the CET staff survey. This was the only place where all the restrictions were met. I appreciate that. Then, the only place where St. Vincent de Paul was allowed to take locals' permission. Yes, that's right. Isn't this the only place that controls the resources? Yes, that's right. Isn't this the only place that controls the resources? Yes, that's right. Isn't this the only place that controls the resources? Yes, that's right. Isn't this the only place that controls the resources? Yes, that's right. Isn't this the only place that controls the resources? Yes, that's right. Isn't this the only place that controls the resources? Yes, that's right. Isn't this the only place that controls the resources? Yes, that's right. Isn't this the only place that controls the resources? Yes, that's right. Isn't this the only place that controls the resources? Yes, that's right.

Isn't this the only place that controls the resources? Yes, that's right. Isn't this the only place that controls the resources? Yes, that's right. Isn't this the only place that controls the resources? Yes, that's right. Isn't this the only place that controls the resources? Yes, that

Certainly, I appreciate that. To the knowledge of my colleagues, this is not a big problem. I understand this. However, in such matters, there are many questions for the society. Therefore, I would like to make it more clear for people to understand some things. Because, in such matters, after 8 months in this role, one thing that I understood is that some people do not believe in a institution like ours. Therefore, I want to make sure that we can talk less about this. Then they can feel that their part is heard. Therefore, Chris, when we talked about this, St. Vincent de Paul chose to talk to me many times today, or they came forward because they are serving Bavana Rahitha. What do you expect from people who ask for food and are able to use these lockers? Their number is that they see around 100-150 people a month. Food and education facilities are included in the food they provide. I know that some people are interested in this facility. So they will help them use the lockers. Every time we open the lockers, we need a small biometric scan or a scale. We are trying to find out how many people are using it through this pilot project. And whether it should be available in other places in the city. And whether other laws should be followed. So, I think they are a good partner to work with us. Then this is a six-month trial. Yes, so we can learn from this and then decide what to do. Yes, have other municipalities made this happen? Have you spoken to them? Our people have done it. I know it was part of our activity. And this was used for the first time there. I know that the company he is building is in Washington State. So, many of our conversations took place there. I think this was also possible in Cedar Rapids. Cedar Rapids. Yes, the people of Rapids went there and saw it for the first time. So, to St. Vincent de Paul, Will they be able to report where they are and whether they are familiar with these lockers? That is, will they be able to report the people who use these lockers? We can add that information. Or we can add the things they report to us. Certainly. The reason I think is that, as a councillor representing Ward 1 to take things to a more practical level, the local residents feel that they are bringing in many unauthorised services without their permission. Yes, that is why a discussion and improvement is important in this regard. So, I don't think this is an opposition. Yes, but a more just and good relationship. There is a need to settle down, so we can talk about these things there. We can also understand the situation they are going through, because there are a lot of slaves in this small area. Those who are not in this area. They bring people here. When they bring people here, it makes it difficult for the villagers. That's why they experience an anxiety. No one is telling me to do this. Yes, but they are telling me. We want to hear your opinions. We also want to be a part of this process. I want them to understand things. Let's talk more about what would be the right solution for their anxiety. That's why I have sent an email to my co-operators today. I have some good suggestions that I would like to take forward. I know Margaret Wright is here. Also, I'm not sure if the other people in Ayalpaka are here. But I'll talk to you later. Chris, I'll take you to that meeting. I'll find some practical ways. Because there are some things that people need for a short time. I believe this is the reality. It will allow us to continue fulfilling the needs of this government, but don't do it otherwise. Don't ignore what the people in Ayalpak have to say to us. Also, we must really appreciate the security that they have conducted in this city and in Ayalpak. So, if there are more discussions, I'll give you a chance. Otherwise, I'm ready to announce a deal. Chris, can you explain the size of this? Or almost. 3 feet tall, do you know?

This is a bit small.

It's 18 inches wide. Yes. Then that's enough. If it's not suitcases, you know that, right?

No, we can put a backpack.

I think it's like a gym locker in high school.

It's only half the size. It's not that long, it's not that tall. I think the most important thing is that we understand the needs of the people and the society. This is a small thing. There are only 12 people in the world who have disabilities, whether they are Muslims or coming to St. Vincent's Pole. So, this is an experiment because it is completely biometric, so no one can enter it. So, there has been a protest in it. We will vote for it. We will vote for it. We will vote for it. Please vote. Yes. The approval has been accepted. The next item is 53. The 114th article of the Municipal Code is related to traffic control changes. A is a change in parking from Walden Street to Water Street to 2nd Avenue. B is a change in parking from Des Moines Street to Robert D. Ray Drive to East 2nd Street. C is a change in parking from Grand Avenue to Watson Powell Jr. Way. D is the parking of Andrews Circle from South-East 25th Street. The last part of South-East 25th Street. E is East 13th Street from East Euclid Avenue to East Douglas Avenue. F is Garnet Avenue from South-East 42nd Street to South-West 42nd Street. G is the speed limit and parking checks. Second Avenue from Court Avenue to University Avenue. H is the speed limit and parking checks on Third Street from Watson Powell Junior Way to University Avenue. Mayor, I declare from 53 to H. In addition, as per Rule 42, I rule out 2nd and 3rd.

No one is against it.

What are you talking about? It was done to Avadharipika and Pindangu. Please vote for Deva. 7. Yes, Pramayam has passed. The 114th chapter of the municipal code on the changes in the Gathakadu system is the next 54th chapter. Parking inspections related to the changes in the DART, DART bus stop locations in the city. 1. From 6th Avenue, Marlbury Street to Croker Street. 2. From 7th Street, High Street to University Avenue. 3. 7th Street from Park Street to University Avenue. 4. High Street from 6th Avenue to 12th Street. 5. Locust Street from 5th Avenue to 15th Street.

I have received a lot of complaints about the Locust area. We keep many things inside the park at night and then have to clean it. Therefore, I know that many of their businesses and DART have removed their stops. Are they removing more parking spaces inside the locust stop? For businesses, they have a lot of businesses. All over Avenueville, yes, that is, yes, I think, I don't know what. In fact, some parking spaces in the city are increasing, it is increasing, yes, it is doing. I heard someone say that they don't know what to do in front of a business in the city. That's why the doctor stopped there. They closed that meter. There is no place there.

Yes. To close it.

Because they moved the DART stop away. I think we can investigate it. Me? Okay. John Davis is there. If we want, we can talk to him later. On the one hand, we may not have to avoid the second or third hearing. We can come back to it at the next council meeting. Then we can talk about what I'm saying clearly. I vote 54-1-5. Pindangu. This was voted by Pindangu and Pindangu. Please vote.

7. Yes.

The vote is passed. The next speaker will have three minutes to speak. At this time, the speaker will have three minutes to speak. At this time, the speaker will have three minutes to speak. At this time, the speaker will have three minutes to speak. We urge all of you to call each and every one of the speakers and to make their names, values and words clear before speaking. The opinions should be related to the subject. Avoid personal opinions or individuality. Because such opinions are not beneficial for the purpose of this General Assembly. Let me remind you, for the council and the public, we are only here to hear your opinions at this time. If you need more information, we will be happy to contact you after the meeting. Thank you for your attention. Now, the first speaker is Tim Hickman. Tim Hickman, 2222 Willamette Drive, De Moines, Iowa. Mayor Bhoosesan, Council members, CET Manager Sanders, thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak to you tonight. I have come here as the President of the Board of Trustees of De Mooyen Public Library to talk about the budget cuts to be made by 2028. I thank you for accepting comments from the community. When these proposals are reviewed, the people who voted agree that the budget should be distributed among all the departments in Velluvilligal. As suggested by the Library Trusts, these profits should be sustainable. We need these profits to be repaid. Because there is very little feedback from the community about the closure of facilities. The Library is ready to contribute to this budget. In September 14, when the budget is ready to accept the first round of cuts in the next meeting, I would like to request the two proposals that the Library Trusts have put forward for the diverse citizens of our city. First, do not spend too much from the library's financial budget of $2,028 or $2,029 or $1,700,000. Anubadhika Vihitham will be $6,80,000 and the library budget will be $7,50,000. This will be a 10% increase in our Anubadhika Vihitham. This will be possible even if it is more than our Vihitham. Secondly, in 2028 and 2029, I declare that the 14th of April should be officially voted to remove the intention of closing the library from the budget. Ensure that your colleagues have access to their community libraries, warming centres, public buildings, and safe spaces throughout the year 2028 and 2029. I only have a few seconds, but at this time when the city is filled with crowds, we need a strong and clear leadership that will protect the safety of our residents and ensure their safety in a proper way. That is happening in the library. Please protect them. Thank you.

Thank you, John. Russell, right? Russell Jones, is that right? I don't know. Right. Karolin Yanhee Walker. Are you done with your work, Karolin? Not until November. Okay.

Good evening. Karolin Euland Hickwalker, 4111 Angris Avenue. Green Iowa America worker and the coordinator of Okridge's 2026 summer camp, Christy Lawson-Snyder, who hosted Green Iowa America Worker and Oak Ridge, has asked me to submit the two student booklets they brought to you tonight. Laura, can you show them on the screen? Okay. The topic of this summer camp was De Moines' Climate Action Plan, ADAPT. 7 weeks, 61 students and 10 professors attended the seven main activities of ADAPT. They talked to guests from energy to food, did science projects and conducted energy audits in their own homes. These books in front of you are a thank you letter to the CET Council for passing the Climate Action Plan ADAPT in 2023. This is one of the things we are thinking about for the future. When we submit this to you, please spend some time to watch these projects and the pictures of the children. In 2030, which is only four years away, I and Christy will represent the Des Moines Citizens Task Force, which aims to achieve this goal. The 2030 Ode Haridagriha promise is to reduce 45 percent. We have been thinking about how we can achieve this within four years without any money. The benchmarking ordinance of the big companies that were passed in 2019 and now need to be implemented again is rising again. This will make a big difference in the reduction of poverty. This will help to reach the target of 45% by 2030. So please think about this. This will help us to earn money and help us to reach our target. Let's do this. Let's bring back the benchmarking ordinance for all the kids who have studied the Adopt Plan. Thank you. Thank you. Riley. Okay. Riley.

Do we have to accept this and file it? Mayor, I request you to accept these documents and file them. Have you received them? Yes, I have. No, I requested you to accept the documents that were given to council member Baran and file them. Is he only here to look after the city or to inspect it?

If we don't inspect it, we will receive it. Okay, I didn't know if it was like that. Okay, then we don't need it.

I thought there were complications because of this.

So, for one thing, it's okay. We don't have any problem. I thought there were complications. Everything is fine, my friend. Okay, okay. Continue, Kay. Okay. My name is Kay Riley.

I live in Kauga Point, 2010, in the south part of Damoyin. At the end of the 1980s, when the city wanted to close down the Mid-City Library, I was chair of the Library Board of Trustees. It was a controversial time for the Shaktaraya Library Pindunakar to build the Forest Avenue Library. At that time, I realized that libraries are not suitable for people. They go there for many different reasons. To search for cases, to find jobs, to search for information that is not available elsewhere. To spend time with others safely in a place where it is hot or cold, to know that you and others are welcome there. There is a photo of the Des Moines Library in the late 1930s. Many people read letters and books in the library. They are looking for ways to survive in that terrible time. Andrew Carnegie believed that libraries were necessary to maintain democracy. He wanted everyone to have the opportunity to be self-sufficient without having to worry about wealth, heritage, heritage, and art. Libraries protect American resources. They are the soul of our city. I have heard a lot of discussions about the Council on Security. There is no other city in the world that is more secure than a library. The library and its employees are good civil servants. They are responsible corporate workers. Therefore, I request you to increase the tax rate to $7,50,000 this year. This is more than the library's budget. In addition, I request you to implement a policy to close down the library. Thank you. Thank you.

Mayor, I intend to accept files from 50J to D. That has been done by Nirdeshikku and Pindam. Please vote. 7. Yes.

I intend to withdraw the petition. I am sorry.

Okay. Is there anyone else in Pindam? All those in favor?

Yes. Yes. I am withdrawing this petition. Thank you for coming.
