Text: Our review of the decision by the district court is de novo. Iowa Code § 400.27; Sieg v. Civil Serv. Comm'n, 342 N.W.2d 824, 827 (Iowa 1983). Although we give weight to the findings of the district court, we are not bound by them. See Sieg, 342 N.W.2d at 828; 5 C.J.S. Appeal and Error § 761(c), at 202 (1993). We confine our review to the record made in the district court. Johnson Mach. Works, Inc. v. Parkins, 171 N.W.2d 139, 145 (Iowa 1969). Thus, we do not receive new evidence. Id.; 5 C.J.S. Appeal and Error § 761(b), at 201. Additionally, we limit our review to the same issues that were raised in the district court. McKee v. McKee, 239 Iowa 1093, 1098, 32 N.W.2d 379, 382 (1948); 5 C.J.S. Appeal and Error § 761(b), at 201.
