(KMZA)--The City of Seneca has a new fire chief.
Tom Scott has been elected as fire chief for 2016. Darin Schmitz will serve as 1st assistant chief and Keith Haverkamp as second assistant.
Outgoing Fire Chief Allen Henry presented the Seneca Volunteer Fire Department's annual report to the City Council Wednesday evening.
Henry said the department responded to 62 total calls last year---including 44 rural calls and 18 city calls.
In other business, the council approved the purchase of new truck for the city’s electric department. The low bid was accepted from Honeyman Ford, of Seneca, for $27,703. It was among three bids received.
Representatives of the Nemaha Central SADD chapter updated the Council on their activities during the school year with the help of funding from United 4 Youth. The students asked the Council to continue to fund the group. The Council voted to provide United 4 Youth 25-hundred dollars in funding for this year, which is the same amount they provided last year.
