Sioux City Council to weigh lease of Rec Center’s 2nd floor [Video]

SIOUX CITY — The City of Sioux City wants to lease Long Lines Family Recreation Center’s second floor for the operation and management of athletic and sporting events.

The city is seeking to collect a $6,500 monthly rental fee for the space. The climbing wall and party room will be excluded from the lease, according to city documents.
