(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Commission is considering improvements to the Community Building in Seneca. 

The Commission toured the building Monday with Jerry Stallbaumer of AHRS Construction, of Bern.

Several areas of the building were looked at including the storage area on the west side of the building, the roof access to the building, the overhead garage door in the gym area, the restrooms, the kitchen, and the small meeting room.

Commissioners will discuss the improvements they would like to make at the building at next week’s meeting.

In other business, Deb Duncan with Atchison-based Doves, Inc. met with the Commission to let them know of two new programs they now have in place in the counties that they serve in northeast Kansas.  Duncan also requested an appropriation from Nemaha County to help fund the new programs. Following discussion, Commissioners made no decision concerning the funding request at this time.

And the Commission signed a letter of support for a grant application being submitted to the Kansas Department of Commerce on behalf of Nemaha County Fire District #4.   If awarded, the KAN-STEP grant will be used to build a new fire barn in Bern.
