Chairman Rusty Eddy and Supervisors Greg Barnett and Wayne Dralle met Nov. 18 in Butler County to conduct routine county business. The board approved the meeting agenda, accepted the Nov. 12 meeting minutes and approved claims; each motion was moved and seconded and carried “all ayes.”
Butler County Auditor Leslie Groen reported the Social Security Administration's 2026 cost-of-living adjustment is posted at 2.8% and said she will contact the Compensation Board to schedule that board’s meeting to consider local pay matters. The auditor presented the COLA as posted on the federal government website; no local compensation decisions were made at this session.
