Greeley County adopts multi-year pay plan for elected officials through 2030
Summary
The Greeley County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 13 approved Resolution 2026-1 setting elected-official salaries for 2027–2030, including a $30,200 commissioner salary and $73,000 base for several county officers with annual 5% increases; the vote was unanimous.
The Greeley County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted Resolution 2026-1 on Jan. 13, 2026, setting salaries for elected county officials through the 2027–2030 terms.
Under the resolution, each county commissioner’s annual salary will be $30,200 for calendar years 2027 and 2028 and remain $30,200 for 2029 and 2030, with future increases tied to the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI‑U) as specified. The board set base salaries of $73,000 for the offices of county assessor, county attorney, county clerk and county treasurer, with a 5% increase applied annually during the 2027–2030 term. The county clerk will receive an additional $5,000 in compensation for carrying the Election Commissioner and Register of Deeds responsibilities; $1,250 of that amount will be paid from the Election Commissioner budget.
The sheriff’s annual base salary was set at $82,000 with a 5% annual increase for the 2027–2030 term. The county surveyor’s salary was set at $5,000 for each year from 2027 through 2030. The resolution was moved by Commissioner Dennis Wadsworth and seconded by Commissioner Joe Leslie; the roll-call vote was recorded as all yes.
The board discussed the statute requiring salary action before Jan. 15 in election years and noted the upcoming general election on Nov. 3, 2026, which includes several county offices on the ballot. The meeting record shows the board entered and exited executive session earlier in the meeting to discuss personnel matters; no public action resulted from those sessions.
The resolution takes effect as recorded in the board minutes. Further administrative details — such as how pay increases will be implemented in payroll and any budgetary offsets — were not specified in the minutes.
