(KMZA)--The Seneca Police Department is getting new radios.
City Administrator Matt Rehder says the City Council Wednesday evening approved the purchase of ten 800 megahertz radios from Haug Communications for a total cost of $12,572, with the trade-in of the current radios.
"Right now, our police force can only communicate with each other, and dispatch, they can't communicate with any of the other first responders in town," Rehder said. "With the purchase of these radios, they'll be able to communicate with everyone in real time."
Being purchased are 7 portable radio’s and three vehicle mounted radio’s.
In other business, Rehder says the Council approved the purchase of a new monument sign for the Seneca City Park at a cost of almost $6,000.
Rehder said the current sign, located at the northwest corner of the park, is showing it’s age and needs to be replaced.
The new sign will say “ Welcome to the Seneca City Park” and include the city logo.
