Worth County supervisors discuss levy rates and law-enforcement agreements
Summary
At a March 4, 2026, special meeting Worth County supervisors approved the day’s agenda and discussed General Basic, General Supplemental and Rural Basic levy rates, a “Back the Blue” item and potential law-enforcement agreements with Northwood and Manly; no votes on specific levy changes or contracts were recorded.
Enos Loberg, chairperson of the Worth County Board of Supervisors, presided over a special meeting on March 4, 2026, where the board approved the day’s agenda and reviewed several budget-related items.
Mark Smeby moved to approve the agenda and A.J. Stone seconded; the motion carried. The board then discussed General Basic, General Supplemental and Rural Basic levy rates, a listed "Back the Blue" item, and law-enforcement agreements involving the towns of Northwood and Manly. The record does not include any proposed levy amounts, contract texts, or roll-call votes on those items.
Jacki A. Backhaus is listed in the record as the county auditor and Jesse Luther is listed as sheriff; Kris Kenison of the Northwood Anchor was present. The minutes do not show public testimony, specific funding figures, or formal motions to adopt or change levy rates or to authorize the law-enforcement agreements during this meeting.
A final motion to adjourn was made by A.J. Stone, seconded by Mark Smeby, and carried; the meeting adjourned at 9:57 a.m. The record includes signatures for Auditor Jacki A. Backhaus and Chairperson Enos Loberg.
Because the transcript is a brief meeting record, additional details — including any proposed levy percentages, budget allocations, or the draft terms of the Northwood and Manly law-enforcement agreements — were not specified in the minutes. The board may consider or vote on those items at a later meeting.
