Crawford County supervisors vote to dissolve county compensation board and assume salary-setting duties
Summary
The Crawford County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted Resolution #2026-16 to dissolve the county compensation board and take on its salary‑setting responsibilities immediately, citing Iowa Code §§331.905(7) and 331.907.
The Crawford County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted Resolution #2026-16 on March 31, 2026, dissolving the Crawford County Compensation Board and immediately assuming the board’s duties for setting salaries of elected county officials.
The resolution, adopted with votes from Supervisors Schultz, Muhlbauer, Dozark, Heiden and Rosburg, cites authority granted by the Iowa General Assembly under Iowa Code §331.905(7) and references Iowa Code §331.907 for the transfer of duties. The text states the dissolution takes effect immediately and that the resolution supersedes prior inconsistent resolutions.
Board minutes record no separate debate or amendments to the resolution; the motion passed unanimously. The resolution specifies that the Board of Supervisors will carry out duties otherwise assigned to the county compensation board for the current and subsequent fiscal years unless the Board repeals or amends the action.
The change shifts the formal process for setting salaries from a compensation board to the Board of Supervisors. The minutes do not record discussion of implementation steps such as a timetable for salary reviews, public notice of salary changes, or any transitional procedures. No public comment opposing the resolution is recorded in the minutes.
