Presentation:

A. Greater Des Moines Partnership
Tiffany Tauscheck and Stacy LoVan with the Partnership presented with Tauscheck focusing
on talent development and LoVan focusing on Economic development. Lauren Campbell
arrived near the start of the presentation. Threase Harms asked for clarification between
investors and affiliates, and how investors were engaged. Tauscheck advised that investors
include businesses and cities, and they provide feedback via surveys. Chambers are affiliates,
and they have more direct feedback. Harms asked to be sent an explanation of benefits for
investors and affiliates. Tauscheck stated she would provide. Harms asked about their successes
at the 2026 legislative session. Tauscheck stated the Partnership remains pro-growth and
continues to advocate for workforce and childcare. Mayor Mike Jones asked how the
Partnership defines "small business". Tauscheck advised it is defined as businesses between 1
and 100 employees, but sometimes only up to 50. They are working to streamline this
terminology internally. Susan Skeries asked about the exact amount of money needed for an
investing agency to be listed under investors. LoVan advised $2,000, $500 more than what is
asked of Windsor Heights. Fletcher Barry asked how the Greater Des Moines area was defined,
as there were various communities outside the metro who were included. Tiffany advised that
communities can opt in, and they represent communities in 13 different counties at this time.

Consideration of the Second Reading of Ordinance 26-03 - An Ordinance Amending Provisions
Pertaining to Bicycle Regulations
Motion by Susan Skeries to approve. Seconded by Threase Harms.
Adam Plagge presented the staff report. Changes were made to the helmet section of the
ordinance, specifically to apply to more dangerous conveyances. Changes were also made
regarding following emergency vehicles and requiring a 500-foot waiting period before
conveyances could resume travel.
Alex Rice, 2111 48th St in Des Moines, representing the Street Collective spoke and
congratulated staff on the strong ordinance. Rice had two concerns: language regarding
following emergency vehicles and speed limits on trails. Rice made recommendations to
remove speed limits and move to a reasonable and proper standard, citing other cities who had
done so, and to refer to state code regarding following emergency vehicles. Susan Skeries
wanted clarification of the current wording limiting speeds to 20 MPH and 15 MPH in Colby
Park. Plagge confirmed and cited other cities that had speed limits in place. Lauren Campbell
spoke in favor of speed limits, especially with the ICON water trail access at Colby Park.
Threase Harms spoke against speed limits, citing limitations on enforcement. Campbell and
Page 4 of 97

Page 5 of 97

Skeries asked how we would enforce the reasonable and proper standard. Mike Jones spoke in
favor of speed limits, citing the enforceability of other laws such as seat belt laws. Pete Roth
cited Clive and Urbandale, the communities that share our trail, as having speed limits posted.
Harms countered, citing that 20 MPH was high and that "reasonable and proper" was more
enforceable. Rice offered for the Street Collective to do community education regarding trail
speeds and different types of conveyances. Campbell moved discussion to the limitations on
following emergency vehicles. Rice cited state code and how she believed Windsor Heights
code should follow that example. Susan Skeries withdrew her original motion, and Threase
Harms withdrew her second. Motion by Threase Harms to strike the last two sentences of
60.13.07 subsection 2, to cite State code in 60.13.07 subsection 7, and approve. Seconded by
Susan Skeries. Motion passed 3-1. Ayes: Susan Skeries, Fletcher Barry, Threase Harms. Nay:
Lauren Campbell.

Staff Report: 1st Quarter Operating Expenditures Report
As of October 1, the City was 25% of the way through the fiscal year and had expended 25% of its
budgeted operating expenditures.
The first quarter of the fiscal year typically includes several annual payments, such as insurance
premiums, that are paid in full early in the year. These upfront expenditures contribute to higher
spending in certain budget categories, including Cultural Services and Emergency Management.
Ambulance expenditures are also elevated due to costs associated with the Fire Study and remaining
invoices from the City’s former GEMT contractor.
Building Inspection expenditures are notably higher due to a $40,000 trade permit issued for Sam’s Club,
which has generated approximately $35,000 in associated inspection expenses.

SUBJECT:

Approve Resolution No. 2026-70 - A Resolution Approving a Revised
Independent Administrative Services Agreement with Hart Halsey LLC DBA
Extra Duty Solutions

GENERAL INFORMATION
An agreement between Extra Duty Solutions and the City of Windsor Heights was previously
considered by City Council on 9/21. Subsequent discussions with Extra Duty Solutions
identified three revisions to the agreement considered minor in nature.
• Section 6.9 Use of Subcontractor. Extra Duty Solutions has advised they will not utilize
subcontractors to perform the services in the agreement. A provision regarding use of
subcontractors is struck from the attached.
• Section 7F Workers Compensation. Extra Duty Solutions has indicated the current
effective rate for coverage under Extra Duty’s workers' compensation coverage is 2.5%.
The rate previously provided was based off Indiana rates, not Iowa. The city is not party
to this expense.
• Section 9 Limitation of Liability. This section is revised to preserve EDS's ability to
recover damages for negligence or willful misconduct. Section 10 indemnification
protective language is retained.
Staff, Legal Counsel, Public Safety Committee, the Police Union and Extra Duty Solutions have
reviewed this agreement and support execution of the agreement as drafted.

Consideration of Resolution No. 2026-71 - A Resolution Approving Funding
Requests for Greater Des Moines Partnership

GENERAL INFORMATION
The City Council previously deferred a funding decision regarding membership in the Greater
Des Moines Partnership for FY 26/27 until after a presentation from the Partnership. This $1,500
funding request is now being brought back to Council for consideration.
The City contributed $1,000 annually to the Partnership in FY 22/23 and FY 23/24 and $1,500
in FY 24/25 and FY 25/26. No funding commitment has been made for FY 26/27.
The City anticipates approximately $15,000 in Hotel/Motel Tax revenue will be available for use
or allocation this fiscal year. Council previously approved FY 26/27 allocations of $2,500 to the
Children's Museum, $2,000 to the Foundation, $2,500 to IMPACT, and $3,250 to the Chamber,
totaling $10,250. This leaves $4,750 in anticipated Hotel/Motel Tax revenue available for
additional allocation or use.
Administration recommends maintaining an active membership in the Greater Des Moines
Partnership.

Consideration of the Third Reading of Ordinance 26-03 - An Ordinance
Amending Provisions Pertaining to Bicycle Regulations; and to Adopt and
Publish

GENERAL INFORMATION
Noted Revisions:
1. 60.13.07 Responsible Riding Subsection 2.
Elimination of trail, sidewalk and multi-use trail 20mph speed limit. Code compliant Electric
Scooters are limited to 20 mph by device limitations. Bicycles, or other code compliant
devices, may exceed 20mph if reasonable and proper under the conditions existing at the
point of operation, taking into account the surroundings and environment, such as inclement
weather, infrastructure conditions, and grade.
2. 60.13.07 Responsible Riding Subsection 7.
Language revised to only apply a 500 ft. spacing requirement to personal transportation
devices following a fire apparatus traveling in response to a firm alarm. This is in alignment
with State Code.
3. 60.13.08 Place of Riding Subsection 8.
Creates an additional restriction for OPDMD devices capable of speeds more than
20mph. After discussion at Public Safety Committee Thursday evening, this revision was
drafted to attempt to balance City Code Section 60.14 which prohibits devices such as golf
carts from streets, trails and sidewalks while also meeting ADA requirements for OPDMDs.
An additional option may be to specifically state that a golf cart is NOT an OPDMD.
4. Minor grammatical clean-up.
Public Works is ordering pedestrian crossing signage to place on the trail near the ICON Water
Access.

Know Before You Ride
Do

Don’t

Follow all traffic signs, signals and
laws. Stop at stop signs and red
lights. Yield when required.

Don’t carry more riders than
your device was built for. Most
are only made for one person.

Ride at a safe speed. Stay in control
and at a speed no greater than
reasonable under conditions. Slow
down when you can't see well or
when paths are wet or crowded.

Don't block sidewalks or
driveways. Keep fire hydrants,
mailboxes, loading zones and
curb ramps clear.

Yield to people walking. People on
foot always have the right of way.

Don’t use a whistle or siren.
A small bell is ok.

Use hand signals to show which
way you will turn.

Don’t go onto playgrounds,
sport courts, soft surfaces or
landscaped areas. Always stay on
the designated paths and trails.

Let others know you're passing. Say
"On your left" or "On your right" when
you come up behind someone.
Wear the right safety gear. Choose
a helmet made for the type of
device you're riding. Faster devices
may need more protection than a
regular bike helmet provides.
Lights are required from sunset to
sunrise or times when you are harder
to see, like in rain or fog.

Be Prepared

Slow down and give space to
others on the trail or sidewalk.

Don't ride recklessly. Avoid stunts,
sharp turns, sudden swerves or
other unsafe riding.

If You Break
the Rules
Rule violations may result in a
$25 fine and applicable
surcharges and costs. Some
violations under state law
may have different penalties.
You may get a traffic ticket if
you ride without the required
license or permit.
Parents, guardians or other
adults may also get a ticket
for allowing someone without
a required license to operate
the device.

Before You Buy
Check the top speed and motor size before you buy. These
features affect where you can legally ride and what rules apply.

Practice = Safer Rides
Take time to learn your device in a safe area.
Practice stopping, accelerating, turning, signaling
and using lights before riding in traffic or around other people.

CITY COUNCIL

FROM:
SUBJECT:

Discussion Regarding Policies and Procedures for the Approval or Denial of
Device Retailer Permits

GENERAL INFORMATION
Background
Iowa Code Chapter 453E requires retailers selling certain glass or metal smoking devices,
including pipes and water pipes, to obtain a Device Retailer Permit. This permit is separate
from a Retail Tobacco Permit. To qualify, a business must hold both a valid Retail Tobacco
Permit and an Iowa sales and use tax permit.
Device Retailer Permits are subject to approval by the city or county in which the retail
establishment is located. The annual permit fee is $1,500, is nonrefundable regardless of
whether the application is approved or denied, and expires on June 30 of each year.
State law further requires that devices be displayed and sold only in areas where they are
not visible to individuals under 21 years of age and where individuals under 21 are not
permitted to enter at any time. Violations of Iowa Code Chapter 453E are subject to civil
and criminal penalties.
Relevant State Requirements
Super Quick Mart has submitted a Device Retailer Permit application that was previously
tabled by the City Council. At that time, Council anticipated reconsidering the application
following the establishment of a City policy to guide the review and approval of Device
Retailer Permits.
Committee Discussion
The Public Safety Committee met to discuss potential policies and criteria for evaluating
Device Retailer Permit applications. The Committee recommended that applicants be
requested or required, dependent on legal advice, to provide the following information as
part of the permit application process:

Page 82 of 97

Page 83 of 97

1. Device Display and Security: A description of the retailer's proposed procedures for
displaying, storing, and securing regulated devices in compliance with state law.
2. Age Verification: A description of the retailer's policies and procedures for verifying
customer age and restricting access to regulated devices.
The Committee also discussed the following potential criteria for consideration when
evaluating permit applications but did not recommend their inclusion in the proposed
policy so that local requirements were not overly restrictive of products legally allowed
under state law:
1. Proximity to Youth-Oriented Facilities: Whether the applicant's location is within a
specified distance of a school, child care facility, public park, or youth recreation
facility.
2. Recent Compliance Violations: Whether the applicant has sold or furnished agerestricted products to an underage individual or failed a City-conducted
compliance check within the 12 months preceding the application.
3. Prior Permit Suspensions or Revocations: Whether the applicant has had a license
or permit to sell regulated products suspended or revoked within Windsor Heights
or elsewhere in Iowa during the 12 months preceding the application.
Potential Action
Provide direction to staff regarding the development of a Device Retailer Permit policy for
consideration at the next City Council meeting, concurrent with reconsideration of the
pending Super Quick Mart permit application.

OVERVIEW
One “Dead or diseased trees” request and one “Unsafe building or structure” request pushed
the average time up, as the former was over a year old and the latter was submitted in
December ‘23. I’m quite pleased to have both off my list. Factoring those two items out,
average time to close was closer to 4 weeks (28 days). Enforcement continues to go well with
minimal pushback.

Contacts
In the 3rd quarter of 2026 the CIT team responded to 5 calls for service in Windsor Heights: 3
were from direct contact with CIT instead of the person going thru dispatch. The team received 5
referrals and the team conducted 9 follow ups to ensure continuum of care. This led to total
number of CIT related contacts being 19. CIT continues to respond to a variety of different call
types, not just the 5 types in the CIT CAD profile. This confirms that CIT training is valuable
for all Officers as mental health, substance use, and housing crisis can come to light on any type
of call.

Jail Diversions
One of the mail goals of a CIT program is jail diversion. CIT consistently works to make sure
persons they come in contact with are connected to resources to keep them out of jail, or to keep
from returning to jail. Currently jail diversion stats consist of both those who went to jail and
received services or were deflected from jail and immediately connected with resources. In the
3rd quarter there were 0 documented diversions/deflections.

Community Engagement/Training
During the 3rd quarter of 2026 CIT was able to get out and engage with the community
during 2 major events. One being assisting with Safety City which teaches
preschool/kindergarten aged kids safety lessons on a variety of topics such as bike
safety, fire safety, and water safety. CIT was also able to engage with the public during
National Night Out where they manned the UPD booth handing out swag and info.
Also during this quarter CIT regularly attended 2 major meeting types held by Iowa
PCA. One being the CORE meeting which brings in law enforcement, fire/ems, and
crisis providers from all over Polk County to share successes and work through any
concerns. The other meeting is a smaller meeting for Law Enforcement, Mobile Crisis,
and Hospitals to discuss any issues with 229 commitments. This meeting has been
invaluable in improving warm handoffs at the hospital and ensuring clients are getting
proper care.
CIT was also invited to attend a Learning Collaborative about Assisted Outpatient
Treatment. There is a general desire to strengthen AOT efforts across Iowa and this
day of learning highlighted the need and how each core group would assist in the
program. CIT is hopeful these conversations continue so that behavioral health
services in Iowa can continue to be strengthened.

Proposed DMWW Water Rate Change and Capital Fund Report

Water Rate and Capital Fund Report

Page 94 of 97

STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL
September 21, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Adam Plagge, City Administrator
SUBJECT: DMWW Rate Change and Capital Fund

The Board of Water Works Trustees will hold a public hearing on the proposed rate changes
for DMWW customers at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 20.
The City of Windsor Heights is a full-service customer of Des Moines Water Works
(DMWW) and is subject to DMWW operational and rate decisions and is represented by
DMWW within Central Iowa Water Works.
DMWW will continue its current
residential rate structure in 2027. The
structure keeps rates lower for basic
household water needs and charges a
higher rate as water usage increases. A
rate increase of 6.5% is planned for most
DMWW customers this year, including
Windsor Heights. This increase equates to
approximately a $1.95 per month increase for the average residential user at 3,500 gallons.

Page 94 of 97

Page 95 of 97

The DMWW commercial water rate structure is not proposed to change this year.
The water availability fees will remain the same for 5/8” meter sizes, which serve most
residential homes and increase for those with higher meter sizes.

The City of Windsor Heights’s Water Capital Improvement fund balance was at $2,322,281
at the end of calendar year 2025. This is a balance increase of $180,886 from 2024.
Watermain related expenses from 74th St. reconstruction Phase 1 and 2 will be submitted
before the end of this calendar year for reimbursement from this fund. Capital
improvement funds are anticipated to be spent down to approximately $1 million over the

Page 95 of 97

Page 96 of 97

next five years as part of 67th St. (2028) and 76th/Marilyn Drive (2030) reconstruction and
upsizing of the Del Matro (2029-2031) watermains. Utilization of TIF to fund 73rd St. and 68th
St. reconstruction enabled the building up of these capital reserves over the past several
years.
A capital improvement fee increase is not recommended at present based on the City’s
current Capital Improvement Plan.
Total water use within Windsor Heights has decreased 12% over the past decade and peak
demand, a critical component of water service costs, in Windsor Heights is relatively
stable compared to other suburbs due to limited irrigation within the city. A sufficient
allocation of water is available to account for potential growth identified in the Windsor
Heights Comprehensive Plan.

TO:

CITY COUNCIL

FROM:

Adam Plagge, City Administrator

SUBJECT:

Workers Compensation Report

GENERAL INFORMATION
Administration met with the Iowa Municipalities Workers’ Compensation Association to review
the City’s claims history and rate structure.
Over the past ten years, the City has had six indemnity claims, with one occurring in the past
five years (22/23). During 25/26, the City had three medical claims totaling $15,160, with no
delays in injury reporting.
The City was previously on a Risk Management Action Plan in 15/16, 16/17, 18/19 and 22/23
due to elevated loss ratios. The City is no longer on an action plan and has no high-level risk
management recommendations.
The City’s current experience modification factor, which influences workers’ compensation
rates, is 92%. Barring a significant new claim, the City is expected to reach the lowest risk factor
next year as the last substantial indemnification claim will fall outside the applicable lookback
period next year. This would likely result in a reduction in workers’ compensation costs.
