Wright County adopts resolution to correct and adopt FY2025–2026 budget
Summary
Wright County approved Resolution 2025-19 to adopt the fiscal year 2025–2026 budget after staff corrected errors in the budget notice that briefly raised the levy rate; commissioners voted unanimously.
Wright County approved Resolution 2025-19 to adopt the fiscal year 2025–2026 Wright County budget after meeting participants said staff corrected errors in the budget notice that had briefly increased the property tax levy rate.
County participants said the resolution rescinds and replaces a prior resolution and fixes mistakes in the budget notice that affected the levy calculation. A speaker explained that a spreadsheet mismatch while on maternity leave had produced a higher levy; the corrected levy rate was reduced by $0.20 per $1,000 of taxable value.
During discussion Speaker 1 (role/title not specified) said, "I changed some numbers around and it made the levy rate go up." Speaker 1 later stated the corrected levy rate "will go from 10.97081 to 10.77081." Speakers also noted that the maximum-levy letters were sent correctly despite the discrepancy in the working spreadsheet.
The board moved and seconded the resolution; the motion passed on a unanimous vote recorded as "all ayes." Meeting remarks closed with a motion to adjourn.
The adopted measure was identified in discussion as Resolution 2025-19 and was described in the meeting as rescinding and replacing Resolution 2025-27 to correct errors tied to Resolution 2025-17's budget notice. The transcript did not specify the dollar total of the adopted budget or further line-item changes.
