Gosper County recommends 4% wage increase effective Jan. 1, 2027, and caps budget requests at 4%
Summary
The Board recommended a 4% across‑the‑board wage increase for county officials and employees effective Jan. 1, 2027, and asked officials and department heads to limit total budget requests to no more than a 4% increase for FY2026‑27; motion passed with Commissioner Hofman recorded as absent.
Clerk Karen Corder and Treasurer Nicole Towsend requested guidance for preparing the county’s FY2026‑27 budget. The Gosper County Board of Commissioners on June 30 recommended a 4% wage increase, effective Jan. 1, 2027, and instructed officials and department heads to limit total budget requests to no more than a 4% increase for the coming fiscal year.
The motion was made by Chair Terry Lerdall and seconded by Commissioner Bruce Bader; the roll call vote recorded Aye: Lerdall, Bader; Hofman was marked absent for that motion. The minutes do not specify whether the wage recommendation applies to all employee classifications, elected officials, or temporary employees; those details were not recorded and should be clarified in department budget guidance.
