(KMZA)--The Seneca City Council approved two bids for maintenance projects at the city's Aquatic Center when they meet last week.

Torrey Brothers Construction, of Wamego, will paint the pool and refinish the mushroom features for a cost of $89,750. Preparatory work will begin this fall, with the pool to be painted next spring.

Safe Slide Restoration, of Fredericktown, Missouri, will refurbish the slides for a cost of $44,022. That project is expected to be completed this fall.

Bids were reviewed at the Council's August 7th meeting, but action was tabled so warranties and references could be checked.

In other business, the Council on a 5-1 vote approved a resolution giving the owner a mobile home trailer located in the Seneca Mobile Home Park at 501 Merton Street, which the city has deemed as unsafe, 60 days to remove the structure before the city takes action. Council member Ray Shinn abstained from voting because he wasn't present at the August 7th meeting when a public hearing was held on the structure. During the public comment portion of the meeting, local Attorney Gordon Olson, representing the mobile park owners, asked that the Council delay condemnation of the structure.

Also members of the Northeast Kansas Arts Foundation appeared before the Council to request permission to hold a “ Chalk the Walk” event on September 4th. The public will be invited to create sidewalk chalk art on a block of Main Street sidewalks. The Council gave their approval, contingent on the approval of affected business owners.
