Summary

The Broken Bow City Council on March 3 approved two change orders on the Highway 2 Sanitary Sewer Extension project and authorized the City Administrator to send one-year notice to Custer County to terminate the current interlocal agreement for the Custer County Communications Center, a procedural step to begin renegotiation.
Change Order #1: The council approved a revision moving the project’s substantial completion date from Dec. 1, 2024, to March 1, 2025. The motion passed with two ayes and one abstention (Joe Wamsley).
Change Order #2: The council approved adding an 8-inch by 8-foot concrete section with rebar spaced at 24 inches on center to protect the sewer main for approximately 80 linear feet at a cost of $9,280.00. The vote was recorded with two ayes and one abstention (Wamsley).
Resolution 2025-01: The council approved a resolution directing the City Administrator to send notice to Custer County that the City desires to terminate the existing interlocal cooperative agreement for the Custer County Communications Center; Mayor Rod Sonnichsen said the one-year notice is required to reopen negotiations. That resolution passed unanimously (ayes: Smith, Wamsley, Holland).
