The Broken Bow City Council adopted Ordinance 1312 to confirm sale of the former armory to Becton, Dickinson and Company for $900,000 after the right-of-remonstrance period expired July 6, 2026. Council suspended the three-reading rule and finalized the sale, with one abstention on final passage.
The Broken Bow City Council on July 14 adopted Ordinance 1312 to confirm the sale of surplus property (the armory) to Becton, Dickinson and Company for $900,000. Mayor Rodney W. Sonnichsen introduced the ordinance and the council voted to suspend the statutory three-reading rule so the measure could be considered for final passage the same night.
City Administrator David Schmidt told the council that "the right-of-remonstrance period expired on July 6, 2026, and all statutory requirements have been met at this time." On the final passage roll call, Councilmembers Russ Smith, Joe Wamsley and Paul Holland voted aye; Councilmember Travis Kleeb abstained. The mayor declared Ordinance 1312 adopted. The council record does not indicate additional conditions tied to the sale in the meeting minutes.
The adoption completes the city's formal approval process as recorded at the meeting; any deed execution and closing steps will follow the ordinance terms and execution by the mayor and city clerk.
