The Wright County Board opened and closed a public hearing on the proposed FY2026–27 budget and, with no public comment, adopted Resolution 2026-14 by roll call. County staff explained the apparent 253.99% increase in capital projects in the budget notice, attributing the jump to a large secondary-roads capital project that will be paid locally and may be reimbursed later; staff cited a change from roughly $187,000 to $2,343,700 for capital projects in the comparison used in the notice.
The board recorded votes in roll call (Dean, Rick, Lynn, Betty, Ashley voting in favor). Staff also reported the overall county levy at about 10.75409 and a rural-basic levy near 3.83; trustees were told that the countywide levy decreased slightly overall while rural services increased marginally.
The board authorized the chair to sign the budget resolution; staff will publish the official resolution and levy certifications according to statutory timelines.
