Seneca council approves $250 donation for child-safety program, requests fence removal after lease termination

Councilor Barbara Northington moved to donate $250 to the Grant County Sheriff's Office for a child safety and drug-education program; Councilor Melvin Herburger seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The council recorded the donation as a straightforward support item for the sheriff's community program.

Separately, the owner of property adjacent to 312 E Ave sent notice terminating the lease for the adjacent city property. After discussion the council reached consensus to write to that owner and request that the owner remove the fence along the adjoining property. Mayor Brad Smith signed lease documents during the meeting. Council also approved the July 9 minutes and voted to pay the bills; each of those motions passed with unanimous consent. The meeting adjourned at 7:10 p.m.
