The Broken Bow City Council approved a union contract to run from Oct. 1, 2022, through Sept. 30, 2025, and adopted Resolution 2022-9 setting spending limits for department foremen, department heads (excluding the library trust) and the City Administrator during its regular meeting on July 26, 2022.
Mayor Rod Sonnichsen called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. in the Broken Bow Municipal Auditorium and announced the availability of the open meetings law. After the Pledge of Allegiance and a brief statement about submitting future agenda requests, the council took up the consent agenda.
The council approved the consent agenda, which included the minutes of the June 12, 2022 meeting, bills as posted and the May Treasurer's Report. The bills as entered in the minutes list payments to numerous vendors and a total of $197,237.93 was recorded.
During regular business, Councilmember Larry Miller moved to approve the Union Contract effective Oct. 1, 2022, through Sept. 30, 2025; Councilmember David Schmidt seconded the motion. The minutes record the roll-call vote as Miller, Schmidt, Baltz and Myers voting aye and the motion carried.
The council then considered Resolution 2022-9, described in the minutes as setting spending limits for department foremen and department heads, excluding the library trust, and for the City Administrator. Councilmember David Schmidt moved to approve the resolution; Councilmember David Baltz seconded. The roll-call vote is recorded as Schmidt, Baltz, Myers and Miller voting aye and the resolution carried.
At the conclusion of business, Councilmember Chris Myers moved and Councilmember David Baltz seconded a motion to adjourn. The minutes show the meeting adjourned at 6:09 p.m.; the roll-call text for the adjournment lists a repeated name and appears to contain a transcription error but indicates the motion carried.
The minutes were attested as filed in the record. The attestation line in the transcript includes a clerk signature line that is garbled in the minutes record; the clerk's attestation is noted in the official minutes but the name is unclear in the provided transcript.
