(KMZA)--Long-neglected repairs will be made to the exterior of the Seneca City Hall.

The City Council last week accepted a proposal from Restoration and Waterproofing Contractors, of Topeka, to perform the work at a cost of $125,000.

The work will consist of the cutting out and re-pointing of ever masonry joint on the north and east walls, re-caulking of all doors and windows, and replacement of all deteriorated or broken bricks.  A water repellent will then be applied to the masonry surface.

The city had sought a grant to help fund the project, but weren't successful.
