"the only real consenens the committee has right now is to move forward with a regional aquatic center in the morningside area and keep lewis pool until that new facility would open" says matt salvatore, director of sioux city parks and rec. some solutions discussed at monday's meeting included replacing some pools with splash pads, costs are cheaper to renovate and maintain. but the biggest debate: which pools to close and which leave open with possible renovations. some committee members were concerned about location and transportation to the facilities, but emotions are playing a large role too. "emotions play a large part on this. there's a lot of swimming poolslsn sioux city and they've been here for a long time, they're part of this history of the neighborhoods. so, it's something that we really need to take into consideration, but we can't make a decision just based on emotion, we have to make a decision based on statistics and future livlihood of those facilities" says matt salvatore, director of sioux city parks and rec. but it hasn't been easy. the committee has been meeting since august, currently meeting on a bi weekly basis. the director of parks and recreation says, he's they'll come to a decision in november.
