Greg Dietterick to receive assistant

Seneca’s top man in charge is to receive an assistant. At a special meeting this week, the city council approved the diversion of salary for a vacated utilities’ position to create the job of administrative assistant for City Administrator Greg Dietterick. According to Joel Seavey, Seneca clerk-treasurer, a job description for the new position has yet to be written, but the idea is to salary the position between now and the end of the fiscal year June 30—-and then set funding for a full year starting July 1. Seavey said to fund the position the next three months, salary left over from last year’s retirement of Dewitt Martin is being redirected.
