Board begins FY26–27 budget deliberations, opens discussion on elected-official pay
The Muscatine County Board of Supervisors began ongoing fiscal year 2026–27 budget deliberations on Jan. 26, focusing first on elected-official compensation. Staff provided a packet that compared pay for county elected officials with peer counties, and the sheriff provided a separate breakdown required by Iowa Code to guide comparisons for the sheriff's salary.

Supervisors discussed the materials and noted the packet incorporated past comparisons; the conversation was in progress at the close of the transcript. No formal action on compensation was recorded in the transcript segment provided; supervisors signaled they would continue deliberations as part of the ongoing budget process.
