The county board approved Resolution No. 41 setting total annual compensation for the County Clerk, County Treasurer and Register of Deeds for 2025–2028 with amounts rising from $86,000 in 2025 to $96,042 in 2028; the measure passed 22‑2 with one abstention.
The Waupaca County Board on March 19 set total annual compensation for three county elected officials for terms beginning after the resolution.
Resolution No. 41 establishes identical salary schedules for the County Clerk, County Treasurer and Register of Deeds: $86,000 in 2025, $89,010 in 2026, $92,348 in 2027 and $96,042 in 2028. The resolution states the amounts are separate from fringe benefits, which remain subject to change under county policy, and that the positions participate in the Wisconsin Retirement System as required by law.
The measure cites Wis. Stat. §59.22 as the statutory authority for the board to set compensation and was recommended by the county finance committee. The motion to adopt passed by recorded vote: 22 in favor, 2 opposed and 1 abstention.
The resolution takes effect for terms beginning after its adoption and sets only the total annual compensation; the county clerk and finance department retain responsibility for administering benefits and retirement contributions under existing county policies.
