(KMZA)--The Seneca City Council approved a contract for the purchase of three generators for the new electric substation to be constructed at the Jaycee's ball field when they met last week.
The contract with Foley Equipment is for a total amount $8,270,000 for the 3 Caterpiller generators.
The generators haven't yet been built, but have been reserved.
Once built, Foley will store the generators for the city until the new substation has been constructed.
The city won't have to make a payment until September 2027.
In other business, the Council approved the purchase of the haydite and oil for this summer's chip and sealing of city streets for a total cost of $103,380.
City Superintendent Brian Ruske said plans are to do about 60 blocks of streets.
Also on the recommendation of Ruske, the Council approved the purchase of a new Case skid steer loader with the trade-in of the city's 2000 model for a cost of $42,600 with an extra two-year warranty on top of the two-year warranty the machine comes with.
