City staff will recommend that Dubuque City Council members postpone an upcoming work session to discuss the future of the Five Flags Center. Leisure Services Manager Marie Ware said she will request the postponement of the July 11 work session in order to give city staff more time to prepare and research potential options for improvements to Five Flags to present to council members. Ware’s recommendation is expected to be considered by council members at their meeting on Tuesday next week. She said she had not yet determined how long of a postponement she will request. Earlier this month, City Council members voted unanimously to not move forward with a March vote asking residents to approve the city borrowing up to $92 million to construct a new Five Flags Center, which would have expanded seating from 4,000 to 6,400 and made renovations to the Five Flags Theater.
