(KMZA)--The Seneca Volunteer Fire Department saw a decrease in fire calls last year.

Fire Chief Tom Scott presented the department’s annual report to the City Council Wednesday evening.

Scott said the department responded to a total of 45 calls last year, which is ten less than in 2016.

The department responded to 11 city calls, 33 rural calls and 1 mutual aid call in 2017.

At the request of Scott, the Council approved the purchase of five new radios for the department's trucks from Haug Communications for a cost of $6,855 and some rescue tools for $2,801.

In other business, Wilson and Company Engineers representative Doug Goetz provided an update on the sewer rehabilitation project.

Goetz said the project is 60 percent complete and is on track to be finished in May.

He said the project should come in under budget.

The Council also approved a zoning change for property located at 1st and Branch Streets from light industrial to low density residential. City Superintendent Brian Ruske said the property has been sold and the neighboring lots are residential.
