- 3. Workshop regarding Inclusion and Diversity in Establishing ASSET Funding Priorities.
This Workshop was scheduled as follow-up to a conversation in November 2020, in which Council discussed adding language related to social justice to our ASSET funding priorities. The current priorities are organized into three categories, centered around:- Meeting mental health and substance abuse disorder needs (with four services identified in order of priority)
- Meeting basic needs, with an emphasis on low-to-moderate income (with nine services identified in order of priority)
- Providing youth development services and activities (two services identified)
Communications to Council: The following items are requests and communications to Council that aren't published on the agenda, so we won't deliberate them substantially. This includes staff reports and communications or requests from constituents and developers. Typically, Council will ask city staff for more information, put the item on a future agenda for deliberation and possible action, or just accept the communication, taking no further action.
- DM International Airport Presentation .
The Des Moines Airport is expanding, and is asking nearby municipalities to contribute toward their expansion. Their rationale is that the DSM Airport serves Iowans from a wide radius including neighboring counties and cities like Ames and Story County. - Foley DM International Airport Request for Funding.
