(KMZA)--The new ballfield project on the west side of Seneca is running about a month behind schedule, with completion now expected by the end of November.

City Administrator Steve Brooks updated the City Council during its November 4th meeting, saying weather has been a factor in the delay.

Brooks said he recently met with Eric Stallbaumer of AHRS Construction to discuss concerns about drainage at the ballfield and the fact that the outfield has not yet been seeded.

He said the delay in seeding could mean sod will be needed to ensure the field is playable next spring.

Work still remaining includes irrigation, chain-link fencing, dugouts, safety netting and the scoreboard. A concrete sidewalk extending to Branch Street will be among the final items completed.

In other business, the Council approved an ordinance vacating a portion of Pioneer Street east of First Street to accommodate the new water plant project.
