The Tama County Board of Supervisors on March 30 adopted Resolution 3-30-2026A, increasing the salaries of county elected officials for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026.
The resolution, moved by Supervisor Curt Hilmer and seconded by Supervisor David Turner, lists the approved salaries and percent increases: county attorney $136,596 (14.794%), auditor $85,010 (8.26%), recorder $80,660 (3.0%), sheriff $125,306 (4.249%), supervisors $40,224 (3.873%), and treasurer $80,771 (3.0%). The board adopted the resolution by roll call vote; all present supervisors voted aye.
Board members said the increases followed a study of comparable pay and the county’s budget planning. The action was introduced as a resolution and recorded in the meeting minutes as Resolution 3-30-2026A.
The salary adjustments take effect with the county’s FY2027 payroll cycle beginning July 1, 2026. The board did not identify a specific line‑item budget offset during the meeting; the auditor’s office is tasked with implementing payroll changes and reporting required state filings.
