Summary
During a Jan. 13 special session on sheriff negotiations, the Palo Alto County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the meeting agenda and then unanimously voted to adjourn. The session included presentation of union bargaining proposals; no contract votes were taken.
The Palo Alto County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the agenda for its Jan. 13, 2026 special session on sheriff negotiations. Supervisor Ron Graettinger moved to approve the agenda and Supervisor Keith Wirtz seconded; the record states the motions were carried with ayes from Supervisors Roger Faulstick, Craig Merrill, Ron Graettinger, Keith Wirtz and Linus Solberg.
After the bargaining presentation — in which the Palo Alto County Sheriff’s Office Employee Association presented initial FY27 proposals and the board offered a counterproposal — the board moved to adjourn. A motion to adjourn (moved by Craig Merrill, seconded by Roger Faulstick) carried with the same unanimous tally. No roll-call objections, abstentions, or recusals were recorded in the meeting minutes.
The meeting record notes that the initial bargaining proposal is on file in the auditor’s office; the transcript does not include vote tallies tied to individual roll-call statements beyond the all-aye summary.
