(KMZA)--Plans for a memorial project at Seneca's Skoch Park to honor the man who made the park possible were discussed at last week's City Council meeting.

Council President Kris Enneking presided over the meeting in the absence of Mayor Joe Mitchell.

City Recreation Director Jordan Weaver appeared before the Council to discuss the proposed project, which has received the approval of the family of the late Sylvester Skoch.

Weaver said the memorial project is planned east of the tennis courts. It would consist of a concrete slab containing a 50-foot lighted flag pole with two canopy benches on each side.

Landscaping would be added around the memorial as part of an Eagle Scout project.

The total cost has been estimated at about $34,000, not including the landscaping.

The Council tabled action until their next meeting in order for additional information to be obtained.

Local Boy Scout Kyler Ganstrom appeared before the Council to discuss his Eagle Scout project, which he estimated would cost just over $1,000.

The council approved his landscaping plans, contingent on the approval of the Skoch Park memorial project.
