(KMZA)--The Seneca Police Department will be getting a new tool to deter speeders.
Police Chief Jordan Weaver discussed plans to purchase two mobile radar speed signs at the June 19 Seneca City Council meeting for a total cost of $5,800. He said donations will cover most of the cost.
Weaver said plans are to use the signs on 11th street at both ends of the school zone during the school year and along Highway 36 the rest of the year.
He said the signs, which are solar powered, will digitally register the speed of on coming vehicles.
Council members voiced support for the purchase of the radar signs.
In other business, the Council approved an ordinance amending the city’s zoning regulations to allow billboard signs along Highway 36 outside of the city limits but within the city’s two mile zoning jurisdiction. Off-premise signs are not currently allowed in the area.
Signs will be allowed with a maximum size of 640-square-feet and maximum height of 30 feet.
The Seneca Planning Commission recommended approval of the zoning amendment.
The Council also approved a resolution setting a public hearing for their August 7 meeting for the condemnation of a structure at 101 North 2nd Street that the city has deemed as unsafe.
The owner or their representative will have an opportunity to show cause at the hearing why the structure should not be order removed.
