Public health presents 2026 budget and mill levy request; fair board seeks supplemental funding
Summary
Western Plain Public Health presented its 2026 budget and mill levy request; the Grant County Fair Board requested supplemental 2026 funding and the commissioners discussed salary and wage constraints for next year’s budget.
Western Plain Public Health provided the Grant County Commission with its 2026 budget and a mill levy request during the July 16 meeting. The presentation from Erin Ourada was received by the board for inclusion in forthcoming 2026 budget deliberations.
Representatives of the Grant County Fair Board presented their 2024 revenue and expense report and formally requested supplemental funding from the county general fund for 2026. The board did not make an immediate funding decision during the meeting; the request was entered into the budget discussion record.
Commissioners also discussed salary and wage changes for the 2026 budget cycle. Board members noted that limitations on budget increases may constrain pay raises because increases in living costs are currently well above a three percent planning benchmark referenced in the discussion.
Other administrative items recorded in the minutes: Jackie Steinmetz, Director of Tax Equalization, continues assessment work on rural residences that failed to submit exemption applications; Jon Alt presented a road maintenance plan for the remainder of 2025; resident Betty Sprenger asked about placing traffic-slowing signs on 58th Street. No formal budget votes were recorded at the meeting.
