(KMZA)--A consulting firm has been hired to help in the search for a new Seneca city administrator.

The Seneca City Council at their regular meeting last week approved a contract with Osenbaugh Consulting, of Derby, for a fee of $7,500 plus expenses.

Consultant Don Osenbaugh will meet with the Council in executive session during a special meeting Wednesday evening, March 22, to discuss the parameters of the city administrator search process.

The Council at their March 1 meeting accepted the resignation of current City Administrator Tammi Haverkamp, effective April 21.

In other business, the Council heard an update from Angie Crider of Rainbow Communications about the company's plans to expand its fiber network to residential areas in the city. The $4.4-million project will start in 2024.

The Council approved an agreement with S & S Automotive and Towing, of Seneca, to provide impound lot services. They will charge a $100 fee for any vehicle towed at the direction of law enforcement and a $50 daily storage fee.

The Council also approved the re-appointment of David Haverkamp to another four-year term on the Seneca Housing Authority Board.

In addition, the Council voted to allow the Nemaha County Catbackers to use Skoch Park to host the KSU Athletics and Alumni Association on Thursday, May 25, and to allow food truck vendors at the event.
