Wright County board adopts fiscal 2025–26 budget and schedules amendment hearing
Summary
The Wright County Board of Supervisors adopted the fiscal year 2025–26 budget and certified tax levies by roll call vote, and set a public hearing for a budget amendment on May 27, 2025. Trustees heard no oral or written public comments during the budget hearing.
The Wright County Board of Supervisors voted May 5 to adopt the fiscal year 2025–26 county budget and certify tax levies, and later scheduled a public hearing on a proposed budget amendment for May 27, 2025.
At 9:30 a.m. the board opened a public hearing on the proposed FY2025–26 budget; no verbal or written public comments were submitted. Motion by Lynn Luke and second by Lynn Luke (as recorded) closed the public hearing at 9:32 a.m., and the board proceeded to adopt the budget by roll-call vote. Recorded ayes were Dean Kloos, Ashley Bosch, Greg Rasmussen, Lynn Luke and Betty Ellis; nays were none. The meeting record identifies the adopting instrument as Resolution 2025-17 (resolution for adoption of budget and certification of taxes for fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2026). The resolution passed and is on file with the county.
Later in the meeting, during a special-session portion addressing publication notice corrections, the board approved a separate budget-adoption resolution (recorded in the minutes as Resolution 2025-19) to correct a publication notice; the board recorded ayes and the resolution was filed as presented.
The board also set a budget-amendment hearing for May 27, 2025. Supervisors asked county staff to verify ARPA fund balances before the amendment hearing; a motion to approve the amendment hearing was passed and recorded. Trustees asked county staff to ensure the amendment notice met legal publication requirements and confirmed notification timelines could be met for the scheduled hearing.
County staff said ICAP (insurance) renewal numbers are still being finalized and will be brought back to the board once updated replacement-cost estimates for buildings and equipment are available. A motion was made to consider paying the ICAP renewal from the general fund rather than pro-rating costs across departments; the board asked for a future agenda item with accurate figures.
By adopting the FY2025–26 budget and scheduling the amendment hearing, the board certified tax levies and set a timetable for any further adjustments before the fiscal year begins July 1.
