Pottawattamie County adopts FY2026–27 budget, approves elected‑official pay adjustments
Summary
After public hearings and a series of resolutions to amend and appropriate funds, the Board adopted the FY2026–27 county budget and approved a 3% salary increase for certain elected officials; the adoption included transfers and debt‑service adjustments.
Pottawattamie County’s Board of Supervisors completed the FY2026–27 budget process on April 28, adopting the county budget after public hearings and approving related appropriations and transfers.
The board approved budget amendment and appropriation resolutions to address necessary departmental expenses in FY2025–26 and proceeded to adopt the new fiscal year budget. The April 28 meeting recorded the adoption of multiple resolutions (including amendments to FY2025–26 and the FY2026–27 budget adoption). The board also set salary levels for elected officials for FY2026–27, approving a 3.0% increase for the County Attorney, County Auditor, County Recorder, County Treasurer and Sheriff; supervisors did not receive a salary increase.
Documents recorded with the Auditor show detail for transfers and reported departmental adjustments. The board followed Code of Iowa procedures for public notice and hearing before adoption. County staff said the appropriation and transfer resolutions did not increase county taxes beyond what was reported in public notices, and the public hearing included multiple citizen speakers offering comment on the levy.
