The Broken Bow City Council met in regular session on March 9, 2021, approving routine business and several administrative actions before adjourning at 6:11 p.m.
Council approved the consent agenda — including the Feb. 23 minutes, Bills to Date, the Broken Bow Ambulance Service and Volunteer Fire Department rosters, and a KaBoomers fireworks application — on a motion by Councilmember Jacob Holcomb and second by Larry Miller. The roll call recorded Holcomb, Chris Myers and Miller voting aye; there were no nays.
The council reviewed Bills to Date totaling $98,683.93, which included notable line items such as Broken Bow Municipal Utilities ($11,790.73), an EFTPS payment ($16,425.16) and Municipal Emergency Services ($10,680.00). The bill list and supporting vendor payments were presented as part of the consent routine.
City Administrator Dan Knoell asked the council to postpone the public hearing on a variance application for Golf Course Estates because the public notice date is March 23, 2021. Councilmember Chris Myers moved to postpone and Jacob Holcomb seconded; the council voted unanimously to defer the hearing to the March 23 council meeting.
On personnel business, the council approved appointing David Minnick, MD, as the Broken Bow Ambulance Service Physician Medical Director and naming Jacob Karmazin as Physician Medical Director surrogate. The motion was moved by Chris Myers, seconded by Larry Miller, and carried by unanimous roll call.
The council adopted Resolution 2021-5 to scrap a City-owned Chevy Custom Deluxe 20 pickup (VIN ending in 4084) that the Water/Sewer Department deemed surplus and unsafe for use. The resolution sets the vehicle's value at less than $500. Jacob Holcomb moved the resolution; Larry Miller seconded and the council voted aye.
Councilmember Larry Miller moved to adjourn at 6:11 p.m.; Chris Myers seconded and the motion carried. The meeting minutes were attested by City Clerk Kandi K. Peters.
What happens next: the Golf Course Estates variance public hearing is scheduled for the March 23, 2021 council meeting; no additional public hearings or formal appeals were recorded in the March 9 minutes.
