The Broken Bow City Council had their regular meeting Tuesday, June 26, at 6 p.m..
The council’s first order of business involved appointments to two boards within the city. Paul Proctor received approval for his appointment to the Broken Bow Airport Authority Board, a position he will hold until December 2029. Similarly, Steven Fricke was appointed to the Broken Bow Park Board, with his term set to expire in February 2026.
In other matters, the council extended temporary authority to County Supervisor Dwain Bryner to close parking spaces on the east side of the Custer County Courthouse. This extension is meant to ensure the safety of the ongoing stair construction at the courthouse. Between South D and South E Street will be closed on an “as needed” basis until September 1.
The council also approved the temporary closure of South D Street from South 8th Ave to South 9th Ave on July 26 approximately between 4 and 11:59 p.m.. The closure will accommodate the Broken Bow Youth Sports Club Ball Drop Fundraiser and beer garden. Representing the fundraiser, Ryan Wetovick addressed the council, detailing plans to sell 200 tickets for the event. He emphasized its status as a completely nonprofit initiative through the Custer County Foundation. The mayor and other council members took a moment to commend the DYO for their dedication to youth and community enrichment.
The meeting adjourned at 6:07 p.m., with the next council meeting scheduled for July 9th at 6 p.m. in the Broken Bow Municipal Building.
