This regular meeting of the Sioux City Council convened on September 22, 2025, at approximately 20:18 UTC. The council considered a consent agenda containing routine approvals, followed by multiple public hearings on zoning, urban renewal, and property matters. Key discussions focused on housing accessibility, a park vacation, a contested street vacation (later withdrawn), and council concerns about community events and a pending rezoning.
More. Here. Okay. Here. Shayner. Here. Scott. Here. Waters. Here. Stand for a moment of silent prayer followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag in the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God. Indivisible Liberty Justice. There are no proclamations or interviews today, so we'll go right to the consent agenda items two through 11B. Is the consent agenda you can consider these items passing unanimously unless a separate roll call is requested by a council member? If you want to speak on 11 through 2 through 11B, please come up as I read that item. If you want to speak on an item not on the agenda, please come up under citizen concerns. Remember to always state your name for the record. I'll move the consent agenda. Second. Two is a reading of the September 15th City Council minutes.

C is a resolution approving an air service development agreement with IDOT for marketing efforts at the airport. I just wanted to ask about that. Mike, I just had one question about this, and I know that we've been working on these different marketing efforts down at the airport. My question is do we I know you've used a lot of different um avenues to try to do that marketing and different you know possibilities and different angles to how to draw in? Do you watch or monitor like do we do paid advertisements and see and monitor the progress or how many people are signing up or clicking on different things or we do track that and what that's yielding? We have a pretty extensive social media campaigns that we do once if not semi-annually, that we get all that information of all. We uh our consultant will give them a report when that campaign is over. Because yeah, I just always wonder. I mean, we've talked about whether it's um banners on the skywalks or buses or just you know, it's whether it's billboard advertising or social media or paid advertising or different camp Facebook campaigns. You know, I think that there's a lot of different avenues. I just want to make sure that we're actually getting good return on that investment. But thank you.

E is a resolution approving a transit joint participation agreement with the IDOT for grant for two STD buses. Seven interactions relating to agreements and contracts.

B is a resolution approving an addendum to the restated mission square retirement government 457 deferred compensation plan. C is a motion authorizing staff to enter into negotiations with CC properties for a contract for the housing property management services at the airport. I did I have a question on that. I should have asked it before. I have clients who use them quite a bit, so I understand, but they normally pay the bills. How is that gonna change for the way you I mean are they paying your bills now? They are their NAI is currently doing that through their management.
