(KMZA)--A vacancy has been filled on the Seneca City Council.

The Council Wednesday evening approved the appointment of Kylee Luckeroth to fill the vacant Ward I Council position, and she took her seat on the Council after being sworn in.

Luckeroth was among two applicants for the position, formerly held by Bruce Hermesch. The other applicant was Jim Musselton.

The Council determined that since Musselton was planning on moving from the ward in about a year, Luckeroth was best applicant.

Council member Ray Shinn asked Luckeroth if she had any conflict of interest since she is the executive director of the Seneca Area Chamber and Downtown Impact.

Mayor Joe Mitchell said City Attorney Martin Mishler had been consulted, and the only conflict would be when the Council is voting on travel and tourism grants that might be awarded to the Chamber/SDI. At that point, Luckeroth would need to abstain from voting.

In other business, City Superintendent Brian Ruske updated the Council on the sewer rehabilitation project.

He said the work of lining the sewer lines with PVC type piping is 60 percent done. After that, Ruske said minor repairs will done on some lines that have collapsed or fallen.

The work is expected to be completed by the end of June.
