(KMZA)--The Seneca City Council has given the green light to the construction of a batting cage at the Seneca West ball field for a senior class project.

Nemaha Central High School senior Reagan Gerety appeared before the Council last week to seek approval for the project.

The total cost of the project is projected to be $14,157. Gerety says she has received $10,161 in donations and requested the city donate the remainder of the funding for the project in the amount of $3,996, which the Council approved.

In other business, the Council accepted the resignation of Seneca Police Officer Rachel Grimm, effective September 29th. She has served with the Police Department for 7 months. Grimm plans to take a job in the private sector.
