Broken Bow adopts Ordinance 1268, moving city attorney pay to $3,000 per month
Summary
On unanimous final passage the council amended the 2022-2023 wage ordinance (Ordinance 1268) to change the City Attorney's compensation from $200 per hour to a flat monthly rate of $3,000.
The Broken Bow City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1268 on April 25, amending the 2022-2023 Wage Ordinance to change the City Attorney's compensation from a $200 hourly rate to a flat monthly salary of $3,000.
Mayor Rod Sonnichsen explained the change during a public hearing opened at 6:44 p.m. Councilmember David Baltz introduced the ordinance, the council suspended the statutory rule requiring a final reading, and after a motion and second the ordinance was passed on final reading by unanimous roll-call vote.
Why it matters: the change alters how the city attorney is compensated moving from hourly billing to a set monthly payment. The minutes do not record the name of the city attorney affected or any projected fiscal impact beyond the stated rate change.
Next steps: Ordinance No. 1268 was declared adopted at the meeting; the minutes do not specify an effective date beyond the council's adoption on April 25.
