The city of Seneca is establishing a Parks and Recreation board. 
The Seneca City Council Wednesday evening reviewed the proposed board by-laws and a member application form.  

City Administrator Steve Brooks said the advisory board will consist of seven members—five from inside the city limits and two from outside the city limits, along with a non-voting member.  The non-voting member will act as secretary and be filled by the Parks and Recreation Director once hired.

Initially, two members will be appointed to a one-year term, two members to atwo-year term and three members to a 3-year term.  At the end of their terms, members will be up for re-appointment to a 3-year term.  

The city plans to seek applicants to serve on the board.  

Brooks said the city's personnel committee, which consists of two council members, the mayor, himself and city superintendent, will review the applicants and make a recommendation to the Council for consideration.  

The Council will consider adoption of the board by-laws, by resolution, at their next meeting.

Following an executive session, the Council gave Brooks approval to advertise for new  Parks and Recreation Director.  Jordan Weaver, who had held the position, resigned effective November 12.
