"if we would have raised them 2% a year, we wouldn't still be where we're at," said sioux city mayor bob scott. "so, those citizens got a break for a little while. number two, i don't want to bid this contract right now, because i'm afraid the rates will be much higher than what than what these are proposed to be." that rate will stay the same for

years. hoping to compete with neighboring cities, the sioux city city council approved an "enhancement study" for the tyson events center. consultants will look at improving concession stands, increasing premium level seating and possibly widening a number of concourse areas. the sioux city events & facilities executive director hopes the outcome will result in better ticket sales, and an improved experience at the venue. "we're looking not only for things that we can do at the tyson events center to make it better, but also what is our niche for booking, like what sorts of show should we be booking now that we have a lot of increased competition around us," said erika newton, executive dir. for sioux city events & facilities. the enhancement study won't exceed $68,000 the city council also approved new members to the mayor's youth commission, tonight. there are 71 new members this year and about 190 in total. the most students on the commission come from bishop heelan high school. the sioux city pool committee

"we've been talking about it for a long time," said matt salvatore, sioux city parks and recreation director. "for the most part, people seem to be okay with the plan. it's not ideal, but we're moving forward. and we're going to provide a recommendation one way or the other." the pool committee will be presenting the recommendati ons with the parks and recreation advisory committee. that will be this wednesday at four p-m at the long lines family recreation center third floor conference room. the meeting is open to the public. city council.
