The Broken Bow City Council will meet for its regular session on Monday, November 10 at 6:00 PM. The meeting is being moved from its regular Tuesday time-slot due to the Veterans Day Supper being held at the Broken Bow Municipal Building on the 11th, and due to the City Office closure that day.
The Council will hear an update from Emergency Services Head David Baltz. The third reading of Ordinance 1302, Electric Use Fees will also be held. The ordinance will increase electric fees for users from between 2% and 7%.
Much of the meeting will be spent addressing Street and Utility issues, with the appointment of Steven Parr of JEO Consulting Group as the Street Superintendent for 2026, and actions required for water main replacement projects.
