The resolution directs the Council to maximize review of items by subject matter committees prior to full Council consideration to streamline Council meetings and expand public participation time on non-consent items, with the Council to consider shifting to a Consent Calendar without public comment in March 2024.

The Des Moines City Council considered an ordinance to continue the Downtown Self-Supported Municipal Improvement District (SSMI) for an additional five years beginning July 1, 2009, pursuant to Chapter 386 of the Iowa Code. The SSMI would generate approximately $2,125,444 in annual revenue based on a maximum assessment rate of $2.00 per $1,000 of non-residential property valuation within the district (current rate is $1.00 per $1,000), with funding sourced entirely from non-residential property owners and no impact on the city's general tax rate. The ordinance was presented for its second reading and vote on January 26, 2009, following the Plan and Zoning Commission's review and a public hearing held on December 8, 2008.
