The Worth County Board of Supervisors on April 20, 2026, adopted the county's fiscal year 2026'27 proposed budget and approved a separate resolution setting elected-official salaries for the coming year.

During a public hearing that produced no comments, the board voted to adopt Resolution 2026-11, which the resolution text says follows public notice published April 8 and 9, 2026, in the North Anchor and the Manley Junction Signal and the hearing held April 20. The chair closed the hearing and the board moved to a roll-call adoption of the budget; the board recorded the motion as carried.

At the same meeting the board adopted Resolution 2026-10, which establishes specific pay changes for elected officials. Under the resolution the chair and the supervisors receive a 0% base increase; the sheriff receives a 10% increase; the county auditor, treasurer and recorder each receive 3%; and the county attorney receives a 12.5622% increase. The resolution also provides a $500 stipend for the supervisor chair and a $7,500 stipend for the auditor for budget duties. A roll-call vote was recorded and the resolution was adopted.

According to the resolution text presented at the meeting, the board's actions follow the required public-notice procedures and the public-hearing record; the chair stated, "This resolution is adopted," after each roll-call vote to adopt the measures.
