Many folks have childhood memories of spending time at the city pool. But as costslimb and attendence drops. Sioux city officials are facing a tough balancing act.

Last month a special Pools Committee unananously supportsts a plan to close cook and leeds pools after 2016. With leif erikson and lewis pools eventually closing as well. Building splash pads and a new Regional Water park are the alternatives. The commitees final report will be presented to city council for consideration but not before final 4 people spoke at tonights meeting. And all supported changes. Times are changing and i take my kids, between 9 and 16, we take our kids out of town to go do stuff. Please im begging the city council give us reason to keep my kids in town. Youre doing a good job i think, but dont go backwards. When you make that park out there, put in all kinds of things and make it work. Initial Community Response was not as supportive. But since announcing its proposal park and rec director Matt Salvatore says the committee has worked hard to show why the numbers dont support keeping 5 city pools open. He thinks people are hearing the message,. People are starting to come around to the idea of splash pads and the impact they could have. Free facilities for kids to use in the summer. They encourage us, if we do the aquatic center, to do it right. Obviously nobody wants to see their Swimming Pool close. Says director of parks rec. Director Matt Salvatore. Committee will meet again monday to talk about the feedback and dicuss any alterations to their recommendations. The city park and rec Advisory Board will vote on the plan next wednesday.

And how to redistribute current funding for the dept. The vetetens Affairs Office is also located in the tri view office so closing the building isnt an option.

It would need legislative approval, some possiblity for building space, would be a program for those thth have a dui ananwould have to come in and show compliance, state code does not allow that right now, but it would be a perfect location. Were working on legilative approval to have a program like that, said taylor. As for county dollars. Previously designated for socials services, supervisors arent saying how they might be used in the future.
