Casey Doggett, owner of Doggett Tree Service, asked the City of Broken Bow council on Jan. 24 for permission to access the municipal tree dump outside of regular hours to accommodate customers.

Mayor Rod Sonnichsen said the city must consult with legal counsel regarding insurance and liability implications. City Administrator Knoell said the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE) would need to be consulted before the council could approve any after-hours access. The council took no formal action that evening and deferred the matter for review.

No timeline or conditions were recorded in the minutes for a follow-up decision; the request remains pending legal and environmental review.
