SIOUX CITY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND PENN NATIONAL GAMING REPRESENTATIVES GOT TOGETHER ON A CONFERENCE CALL WEDNESDAY MORNING TO DISCUSS THE LEASE AGREEMENT ON THE ARGOSY RIVERBOAT CASINO.
THE AGREEMENT EXPIRES IN JANUARY. A STATEMENT FROM CITY MANAGER PAUL ECKERT SAYS THE CALL WAS PRODUCTIVE AND THAT THE CITY SHARED REASONABLE POSITIONS WITH PENN OFFICIALS.
MAYOR BOB SCOTT SAYS HE'S OPTIMISTIC THE TWO SIDES CAN REACH AN AGREEMENT QUICKLY:
THE LEASE AGREEMENT UNDER REVIEW IS FOR UP TO TWO YEARS AND WOULD NEED APPROVAL FROM THE IOWA RACING AND GAMING COMMISSION.
THE CITY AND PENN WILL TAKE PART IN ANOTHER CONFERENCE CALL LATER THIS WEEK.
