Broken Bow council approves consent agenda and excuses two members in brief July meeting

Mayor Rod Sonnichsen called the Broken Bow City Council to order at 6:00 p.m. Tuesday in the Broken Bow Municipal Auditorium. Councilmembers Larry Miller and Chris Myers were present; David Schmidt and David Baltz were recorded as absent.

Councilmember Larry Miller moved and Councilmember Chris Myers seconded approval of the consent agenda, which the record shows included the minutes of the June 28, 2022 council meeting, bills as posted, the Broken Bow Ambulance Service roster and the Broken Bow Volunteer Fire Department roster. The roll call vote listed Miller and Myers as voting aye, and the motion carried.

A detailed bills list was included in the meeting record and shows vendor and payroll disbursements totaling $189,461.74. The list names multiple payees, including Broken Bow Municipal Utilities, Broken Bow Ambulance Service and other municipal vendors; the record does not provide additional line-item detail beyond the posted list.

Miller moved and Myers seconded a separate motion to excuse Councilmembers David Schmidt and David Baltz; the roll call vote recorded both as voting aye and the motion carried. Mayor Sonnichsen told the council that, because a majority of members were not present, the body would not enter a closed session.

Councilmember Chris Myers moved and Councilmember Larry Miller seconded to adjourn the meeting; the roll call vote listed both members as voting aye and the meeting was adjourned at 6:01 p.m. The minutes were attested in the record with the notation "ATTEST:" followed by the attestation text "Ka23."
