(KMZA )--A new recreation director is on the job in Seneca.

Seneca City Administrator Matt Rehder said Drew Conwell, of Lawrence, began work Friday.

He was hired last week.

Conwell previously served for more than 8 years as assistant recreation director in Bel Aire, Kansas in the Wichita area.

Rehder said the 2020 Seneca Aquatic Center season remains up the air due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Seneca City Council discussed the issue at their May 6 meeting and plans to revisit it at their June 3 meeting.

Normally, the Aquatic Center opens for the Memorial Day weekend.

Rehder said they hope to be able to open the Aquatic Center at some point this season.

The earliest it could open is June 16 under the Governor's re-opening plan.
