(KMZA)--The Seneca City Council Wednesday evening voted to accept a new redistricting map for its three wards.
The action came on a 5-1 vote, with Councilman Jim Mitchell casting the dissenting vote.
Community Development Director Andrea Beyer presented the Council with copies of the new map for their consideration.
City Administrator Steve Brooks said the new map, which aims to equal population in each ward, was prepared at the request of a city council member.
He said an ordinance will be prepared to formally approve the new redistricting map.
In other business, the Council voted to enter into a contract with the Northeast Kansas Arts Foundation for the painting of mural at the North City Park.
The mural is to be painted on the south wall of the park restroom, and will depict flowers that are native to northeast Kansas.
Brooks said there are certain stipulations that must be followed.
Following an executive session, the Council voted to rescind the offer made last October to Dale McLin for a police officer position.
