Anyone who wants a seat -- or a spot to stand -- in the Council chamber on Tuesday should plan to arrive early. Two highly-anticipated presentations planned for the beginning of the meeting should steal the show at the first meeting in June.

The first will introduce the public to the recreation facility proposed for the South Side Rec. We will finally find out if this facility will be as large as neighbors fear, and what we're gaining by loosing some green space in the heart of the city. This issue has been a hot topic as of late, and will surely draw a large crowd.

The second is a similar presentation on the proposed Public Safety building. It's been a few months since this building was last in the headlines, so it should be interested to see how the public and Council receive the plans. Will it be a castle as some say? Do the architects think they can deliver it for the alloted $8 million?

The answers to these questions and many more on Tuesday, at 7 p.m. in the City Council room.
