(KMZA)--After months of discussion, the Seneca City Council has approved a site for the new substation and generation project.

On the recommendation of the council's utility committee, the City Council voted unanimously Wednesday evening to go with the Jaycee's ball field site for the location of the project, which will include 3 generators.

It was among two sites considered.

Utility committee member Joe Schmelzle said its the cheapest site and the best use of taxpayer funds.

City Administrator Steve Brooks said the project layout has been changed to allow for more green space at the ball field site. He also said some trees could be planted in the future to improve the aesthetic appeal.

Brooks said plans are to re-locate the ball field to Skoch Park.

During the public comment portion of the meeting, Lacy Bergman addressed the Council with her concerns about food trucks being allowed in the downtown commercial business district, which she says hurt local businesses. Bergman said food trucks should be limited to times when local businesses are not in operation, and asked that the city ordinance be changed. Mayor Joe Mitchell said he agreed and has asked the city administrator to draft a revised ordinance for Council consideration.

In other business, an ordinance was approved establishing new water rates as approved by the Council at their January 2nd meeting. The new rates will take effect next month.

In a related matter, the Council approved a new water rate agreement with Nemaha County Rural Water District #3.

The Council also accepted the resignation of police officer Austin Watts.
