Seneca Approves Initial Budget Adjustment for City Administrator Severance Agreement

Seneca officials unanimously passed the initial reading of Ordinance 2026-24, expanding the fiscal year 2026–27 general fund revenue and expenditures by $193,170—drawn directly from municipal reserves—to accommodate payroll and benefit adjustments linked to City Administrator Scott Moulder’s $500,000 settlement package.
