(KMZA)--The city of Seneca is moving forward with plans for the replacement of the next section of the city's Main Street.

The Seneca City Council approved a letter of agreement with Wilson and Company last week to provide engineering services for the project from 7th and 11th Streets at a cost of $31,975.

The Salina firm worked with the city on the last two Main Street projects, which utilized grants funds to rebuild the brick street from 3rd to 6th Streets and from 6th to 7th Streets.

Grant funds are not available this time. The council is looking at rebuilding the street with a concrete surface, along with new curb and gutter and storm drainage. An alternate bid will sought for sidewalk replacement.

In other business, the Council approved a resolution that implements the new electric rates approved by the council at their October 6 meeting to pay off the high wholesale power costs the city incurred during February's artic blast. The new rates will take effect November 1. The average residential customer will see an around 10 percent increase.

The council also approved a contract for the sale of lot 11 in Fairway Addition #2 to BS Development for $91,000.
