Council adopts Ordinance No. 1244 to replat former care-and-rehab site into three lots

The Broken Bow City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1244 on Aug. 24, approving a replat of Sargent's Third Addition Block 1 — the site previously occupied by Broken Bow Care and Rehab — that divides the parcel into three lots.

City Administrator Dan Knoell described the proposal to the Council, saying, "This Plat divides the properties into three lots." Councilmember David Schmidt moved to suspend the statutory rule requiring reading on three different days; Council President Jacob Holcomb seconded the motion and the suspension was approved by roll call. The ordinance was read by title and, on final passage, Holcomb and Schmidt voted to adopt the ordinance while Councilmember Chris Myers recorded an abstention. President Holcomb declared the ordinance adopted.

Council documents do not specify an effective date for the ordinance beyond the formal adoption at the meeting. The replat will allow the property to be treated as three separate lots for future transactions and development; no further details about anticipated uses, sales, or timelines were provided during the hearing. The council did not record any speaker opposition in the minutes.

The council conducted the procedural votes necessary to shorten the ordinance-reading requirement and complete final passage in a single session. No related permits, site plans, or implementation milestones were discussed at the meeting, and the minutes do not list subsequent steps or responsible departments for follow-up.
