The Seward County Commission held a work session on June 23, 2025, where discussions centered around the potential replacement and rebuilding of a motor. The motor in question, identified as a Cobra, is facing significant issues that may prevent it from lasting until 2027.

Commission members expressed concerns about the motor's condition, with one member noting the possibility of a cracked zone that could complicate rebuilding efforts. The estimated cost for a rebuild was mentioned to be around $400, but uncertainty loomed over whether the motor could indeed be repaired.

If the motor cannot be rebuilt, the commission acknowledged that there is no spare available, raising fears about the implications of having to suspend operations. The discussions highlighted the urgency of assessing the motor's condition and the financial considerations involved in either rebuilding or replacing it.

Overall, the meeting underscored the importance of addressing the motor's issues promptly to avoid operational disruptions in the future. Further evaluations are expected to determine the best course of action moving forward.
