(KMZA)--The Seneca City Council Wednesday evening approved a resolution authorizing the redemption and payment of outstanding revenue bonds issued by the city in 2015 on behalf of the Nemaha Valley Community Hospital to finance facility improvements.
The city issued bonds in 2008, 2015 and 2023 on behalf the hospital.
The 2023 bonds mature on September 1st of this year.
Bond counsel said the resolution unwinds all the city's involvement in the bond issues.
In other action, the Council approved increasing the pay of Municipal Judge Scott Anson from $300 to $400 a month.
The municipal judge's pay has not been increased for about 10 years.
The Council approved submitting a notice to the county clerk of the city's intent to exceed the revenue neutral rate of just under 30 mills.
The city is looking an estimated mill rate of 32.58 mills, which is the same levy as last year.
The mill rate has remained about the same for the last 20 years.
The RNR and budget hearings have been set for September 3.
Also at the meeting, the Council approved the appointment of Brad Lueger to fill the unexpired term of Jim Reitz on the city Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals.
The term will expire in September 2026.
