Now that the location, funding and plans have been drawn up the only thing that is left is to start building, uh wait, that’s right, we should probably show the public what we are doing at the last minute;
A neighborhood meeting to discuss the indoor aquatic center at Spellerberg Park will be held on Monday, March 23, 2015, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Oyate Community Center, 2421 West 15th Street (adjacent to Garfield Elementary School). The public is encouraged to attend.
At the neighborhood meeting, members of the project team from TSP, Inc., Counsilman-Hunsaker & Associates, and Sioux Falls Construction will present updated plans of the indoor aquatic center, park site plan improvements, and the upcoming construction schedule.
It was nice of the city and parks department to actually let us see what we are spending our $24 million on just a few weeks before they break ground. I’m sure a copy of the MOU with the VA will be on display at the meeting also 🙁
It’s just more hoopla. Citizens never had a voice in this project. The city throws up this smokescreen. They’ll refer to it later as justification. The Events Center was planned before there was a vote, location, or funding. Non-competitive contracts for both were awarded before the ideas became concepts. I’m used to it now. The corruption could make the city bankrupt. I’ll move (not cry) when city employees lose their retirement and police/fire walk off the job.
