Clark County adopts 2026 salary schedule with 2% staff increase, effective Jan. 3
The Clark County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on Dec. 29 to adopt Resolution 27-25, the county's 2026 wage and salary schedule. The resolution, moved by Commissioner Sara Gjerde and seconded by Commissioner Chris Sass, was recorded as approved by all commissioners.

The resolution specifies a 2% pay increase for staff, excluding ambulance shift employees. The increase is effective Jan. 3, 2026 and will be reflected in the Jan. 20, 2026 payroll. The minutes include an itemized salary schedule listing monthly salaries and shift-pay rates for county positions, including commissioners, department heads and ambulance shift pay levels.

The motion record and signed resolution were filed with the county Auditor on Dec. 29, 2025. No dissent was recorded in the minutes; the action nullifies prior wage scales when adopted.
