The Broken Bow City Council met for their regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday, June 11, in the Municipal Building at 6 p.m..
The two ordinances regarding vendor permit fees and Broken Bow’s city code were approved tonight! With six meetings in three months and over 60 hours of rewriting, the city and council members rewrote and approved the final product to both ordinances.
Ordinance 1285 created allowances for a max of 2 permits along with the original, the area for trash was widened to 25 feet and advertising permissions were changed as well. Ordinance 1286 scaled costs down, removing the electric portion which will now be assumed in the permit fee. The section for Special Events was entirely removed, and was replaced with a note about having no extra charge for any special events or multiple location food vendors.
In other news, the Council approved a bid of $153,097.19 from Myers Construction for the Highway 2 Sewer Extension Project.
The surplus property from J.P. Gandy’s Addition to Custer County Construction Inc. was approved for $8,200 by way of a municipal deed. A municipal deed is a document used to transfer a property from a municipality (such as a city or town) to a private individual.
North C St. from N. 7th to N. 9th Avenue will be closed on an “as needed” basis from now until August 31, 2024. Broken Bow’s Superintendent Darren Tobey requested to close this area to protect the public from construction hazards to safely continue the school’s renovation project.
City Treasurer LeeAnn Taylor was authorized to sign for all city bank accounts and was authorized to be the name on the safety deposit box for the city. Mayor Rod Sonnichsen thanked everyone for their involvement in helping make the laws fair for the upcoming square events.
The meeting adjourned at 6:27 p.m., and the next meeting will be held Tuesday, June 25, 2024 at 6 p.m..
