Several Sioux City residents used citizen comments to press the council on neighborhood infrastructure and public engagement.

Homeowners on Glen Ellyn Road described ongoing erosion, voids under pavement and what they said were insufficient city investigations. John Aldroyd and Jerry Van Persen asked the council to instruct city engineering to examine the relevant road sections, and if necessary to hire an independent engineer to identify root causes and remedies. They said prior work had not targeted the areas of concern and urged the city to act to prevent further damage.

Neighbors of the Lieber Heights site asked for written documentation on the expected number of cubic yards of earth to be moved, a buffer between developed lots and adjacent properties, and clear erosion control and monitoring commitments. Residents said changing estimates — from earlier larger figures to lower ones — had reduced trust and asked staff to secure concrete plan documentation at higher design completion.

Other commenters urged more accessible meeting times and greater public interaction options. One resident suggested opening moderated comment channels for remote viewers; council and staff noted constraints including verification and liability concerns but said they would consider options and highlighted the existing channels for civic engagement.

City staff directed follow‑up to engineering staff for the Glen Ellyn concerns and told Lieber Heights neighbors that plan sets and more detailed haul estimates would be available as designs progress. The council did not take immediate binding action on the citizen requests at this meeting but recorded the concerns and assigned staff follow‑ups.
