(KMZA)--A new concession building will be constructed at Seneca's Swisher ballfield.

The Seneca City Council at their May 18 meeting accepted a $100,000 donation from John and Janie Kramer for construction of the new building, which is to be completed by 2023.

The building is estimated to cost a total of $135,000 to $140,000. The city has agreed to come up with any funds needed to finish the building over $100,000.

In other business, the Council also approved fees for the city to provide fire protection to four Nemaha County townships for 2025-2027. The fees total $138,569 annually. The townships include Center, Clear Creek, Richmond and Gilman.

The Council approved plans presented by the Seneca Fire Department to celebrate the 100th birthday of the department's 1922 Stutz fire engine on August 27. Most of the events are scheduled to take place at the Seneca City Park. The activities will include a parade, live band and free-will lunch and dinner.

In addition, the Fire Department was given permission to prepare specifications and seek bids for the replacement of truck #5.
