Summary
The council approved the consent agenda including the $38,980 administrative vehicle purchase, authorized payment timelines and accepted a single snow removal bid from Myers Construction for 2025–2026 (one councilmember abstained). The council also voted to cancel the Dec. 23, 2025 meeting.
The Broken Bow City Council approved routine and procurement items during its Nov. 25 meeting, including a low bid purchase of an administrative vehicle and acceptance of the 2025–2026 snow removal contract.
Councilmember Russ Smith moved and Travis Kleeb seconded approval of the consent agenda, which included the Nov. 10 minutes, bills to date and the October Treasurer's Report. City Administrator David Schmidt told the council the Ranchland Ford bid of $38,980 for a 2024 Ford Explorer (approximately 3,000 miles) was the low responsive bid and recommended acceptance. The consent agenda passed on a unanimous roll call vote.
Separately, the council voted to cancel the Dec. 23, 2025 council meeting and authorized the administration to pay bills within the required time frame; the motion passed unanimously.
The council accepted the lone snow removal bid from Myers Construction for the 2025'1026 season after Paul Holland moved and Russ Smith seconded the motion. Roll call showed Smith, Kleeb and Holland voting aye and Joe Wamsley abstaining. Administrator Schmidt noted the city had advertised the solicitation and received only the single bid.
The council did not discuss detailed contract pricing in the meeting record; staff are responsible for executing procurement documents and ensuring contract terms meet city requirements.
