NORTH SIOUX CITY, S.D. — The City Commissioners are seeking a third possible plan to mitigate flooding in the short term while county and state officials find a long-term plan.

Monday, members of the Commission asked for a third option. 'That could divert that water over to an area called Good Enough Lake, which flows into Mud Lake. That would totally bypass McCook Lake,' Mayor Chris Bogenrief said. 'We don't know if it's a viable option, but it's worth looking into. ' Bogenrief hopes to have that alternative plan at the May 12 commissioners meeting to discuss. Commissioners also received their appointments to city departments.
