The Kearney Board of Aldermen approved a temporary closure of Washington Street from Highway 33 to Grove for the Optimist Club's annual Labor Day Races on Sept. 1, 2025, the board recorded at its Aug. 20 meeting at City Hall.
The request came during the meeting's personal appearances portion. Alderman David Lehman moved to approve the closure; Alderwoman Gerri Spencer seconded. The minutes state the motion passed unanimously.
The minutes specify the stretch of Washington to be closed and the event date but do not record details in the file about traffic management, detours or permits beyond the board's approval. Mayor Randy Pogue presided over the meeting, which opened at 6:30 p.m.; City Administrator Sheila Ernzen and other city staff were listed as present.
The action was recorded as a motion and approved by the board during the meeting; the minutes show the board then moved on to a separate procedural item later in the session.
