(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Commission has agreed to provide funding to help with a brick and mortar restoration project at the old jail building and sheriff’s residence in Seneca.

Representatives of the Nemaha County Historical Society met with the Commission Monday to request the financial assistance.

The group said they have a $10,000 grant for the project, but need another $9,000 to complete it.

The Commission voted to provide the $9,000 needed, with the funding to come from the Commissioner’s fund.

In other business, the Commission accepted a quote from Eisenbarth Plumbing, of Seneca, in the amount $22,541 for improvements to the restrooms at the Nemaha County Community Building.

Sheriff Rich Vernon informed Commissioners that he had problems last week with the backup generator at the Law Enforcement Center. Vernon said the warranty on the generator is no longer valid and it will cost the county about $3,500 to repair the generator. Commissioners advised the sheriff to move forward with the repair.

Kansas Fur Harvesters Association representative Jim Buser met with the Commission about holding the association’s annual conference in Seneca in either 2018 or 2019 and again in 2022.

The conference would require use of the Nemaha County Community Building and Nemaha County Recycling Building.

Commissioners told Buser said they would be glad to see the conference held again in Seneca and would allow use of the specified buildings.
