The Converse County Board of Commissioners on May 6 adopted Resolution No. 06-26, establishing salaries for elected county officials for the four-year term beginning January 2027 and ending December 2030.
Commissioner Rick Grant moved to adopt the resolution after a lengthy discussion that referenced regional cost-of-living data, comparable county salaries, Bureau of Labor Statistics figures and Employers Council survey data; the motion carried. The resolution sets annual salaries for the Assessor, Clerk, Clerk of District Court, Sheriff and Treasurer at $125,000 in 2027, rising to $138,590 in 2030. It sets the full-time County Attorney salary at $153,700 for 20272030 and establishes commissioner pay at approximately 40% of other elected officials (e.g., $50,000 in 2027, rising to $55,435 in 2030).
The resolution was adopted pursuant to the authority cited in the minutes as W.S. 18-3-107, which allows the board to set elected county public official salaries every four years and prescribes a statutory maximum. The minutes state salaries are to be divisible by 12 and paid in equal monthly payments under W.S. 18-3-108. The board approved the resolution for the period January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2030.
Commission Chairman James H. Willox and County Clerk Karen Rimmer signed the resolution for the record. The action followed commissioner discussion about regional cost-of-living and comparable data; the minutes do not record a roll-call tally beyond "motion carried."
