Council accepts David Schmidt's resignation and approves his contract as Broken Bow city administrator; East Ward vacancy declared
Summary
Councilmember David Schmidt read and submitted his resignation, which the council accepted. The council then approved a contract to hire Schmidt as City Administrator; he abstained from both votes. The council declared an East Ward vacancy effective April 27, 2023.
Councilmember David Schmidt read his resignation and the Broken Bow City Council voted to accept it on April 25. Schmidt then entered into a contract with the city to serve as City Administrator; the council approved that contract in a separate vote. Schmidt abstained from both votes; the other councilmembers voted aye.
Following those actions, the council approved a Declaration of Vacancy for the East Ward, effective April 27, 2023, with the vacant term ending Dec. 31, 2026. The Declaration of Vacancy motion was moved by Chris Myers and seconded by Paul Holland and carried by unanimous vote.
Why it matters: the council simultaneously processed a member's resignation and employment with the city, creating a ward vacancy that the council will fill according to the city's procedures. The minutes record Schmidt's abstentions on votes concerning his resignation and contract.
