good evening and thank you u r joining us tonight good evening and thank you for joining us tonight im tim seaman. jenna rehnstrom has the night off. 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. a special committee wants to close 2 pools after next season.... tonight (tuesday) users got one last chance to speak out on the issue. 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 tonight's 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 i'm begging the city council give us reason to keep my kids in town." "you're doing a good job i think, but don't 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 it's proposal park and rec director matt salvatore says the committee has worked hard to show why the numbers don't 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.

"is this going to work, i hope so. you're dealing with a population that can't help themselves," said clausen. that's just half the battle. once the doors close.... woodbury county will need to find a new use for the social services spspe... and how to re-distribute current funding for the dept. . the vetetens affairs office is also located in the tri- view office so closing the building isnt an option. one idea being considered by supervisors is the implemention of a program designated for alcohol abuse called 24/7.

jeff schulte is s really in trouble this time. he's pulled over by johnston police for the second timi in a year. except this time, you're loooing at a set-up. this police body cam video captures a very clever plan between jeff and johnston police. nats - more interaction between jeff and officer a year ago at thanksgiving time it was for real. jeff was actually ticketed for speeding right in front of his girlfriend's'sarent's house when he was going to meet them for the first time. her whole family saw it. jeff was embarrassed. so a year later, when jeff decided to propose to jenna, he figured johnston p.d. might do him a favor. sb jeff "wanted to do something crazy." "a lot of timing involved, i was nervous." he and officer matt chiles, the same guy who gave him the real ticket a year earlier, worked it all out. nats - you were doing 46 in a 35 a bogus speeding violation. jeff was even pretend handcuffed behind his car. and jenna was finally asked to get out of the car too. nats from cop -- would you get out

merchandise to seeee if it's stolen. he has a theft warrant. the look on jenna's face proves she has no idea what's going on, and the next few moments are priceless. nats - will you marry me? her reaction up until they hug sb - it took my emotions to the extreme. i was in shock for a long long time and it was a welcome break from the difficult work of real policing for officer matt chiles. sb -- just a nice break to be able to do something fun like this.
