(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council approved an agreement with SEL Engineering in an amount of $231,007 for design services for the Power Plant SACADA system when they met Monday night.

The relay replacement integration project is the first step to modernize the control and protection system of Falls City's electric system. It will allow recording of electrical events, troubleshooting electric system issues and immediately know when a circuit trips offline.

Eventually the completed project will have a price tag around a half-million dollars.

The council also approved the investment of up to $20 million in special reserve funds that will eventually be used to pay for electrical upgrades including a new line to deliver additional electricity to the city.

$15 million is from a state grant and the City will have additional reserve dollars that can be reinvested.

The Council voted to invest $10 million in a 12-month CD and $10 million in a 24-month CD both at Frontier Bank in Falls City.
