Seneca City Hall

(KMZA)--The Seneca City Council voted to move forward with a project at Skoch Park to honor the man who made the park possible when they met last week.

The memorial in the honor of the late Sylvester Skoch will consist of a lighted flag pole with an American flag and two metal canopy benches on a concrete pad. Landscaping will be added as part of an Eagle Scout project.

The cost of the project has been placed at about $34,000-not including the landscaping.

The Council was told Skoch 's family has approved the city plans.

In other business, Scott Heinen, with Heinen Brothers Agra Services, appeared before the Council to discuss a proposal to put a unmanned aerial systems test range at the Seneca Municipal Airport. He said it would be the only privately owned test range. Heinen is seeking a long-term lease with the city. City Administrator Steve Brooks will work on a contract with Heinen.

Also at the meeting, the Council approved the purchase of a new bucket truck for the city's Public Works Department at a cost of $41,000.

In the addition, the Council accepted the resignation of public works employee Tim Heinen. His last day of work will be September 30th.
