Key Items on the Agenda
Fiscal Year 2026–2027 Budget Amendment
A budget amendment is the most prominent scheduled item on the Board of Supervisors agenda. At 9:15 a.m., the Board is scheduled to hold a Budget Amendment Hearing on the Wright County Budget for Fiscal Year 2026–2027.
Following the hearing, the agenda calls for the Board to review and act on Resolution 2026-27, which concerns adoption of the Fiscal Year 2026–2027 Wright County budget amendment and appropriations to various departments. The packet does not provide the proposed amendment amounts or department-by-department appropriation details.
Secondary Roads Budget
The Board is scheduled to consider an amendment to the FY27 Secondary Roads IADOT Budget. The packet agenda identifies the proposed budget amendment but does not provide financial figures or additional explanation of the changes under consideration.
Annex Building Lease
The agenda includes consideration of leasing the Annex Building. No proposed lessee, lease terms, financial terms, or other details are included in the packet text.
Medical Examiner Training Reimbursement
The Board is scheduled to consider reimbursement for Medical Examiner Training. The packet does not specify the reimbursement amount, recipient, training costs, or proposed terms.
The Board of Supervisors agenda also includes several recurring administrative and public-participation items:
- Approval of the tentative agenda.
- Approval of minutes from the last regular meeting.
- Approval of claims for payment.
- An open forum for public input.
- Old business.
- New business.
- Updates on meetings.
The packet identifies these matters on the tentative agenda but provides no additional substantive documentation about them.
Drainage Trustees
After the Board of Supervisors portion, the agenda calls for officials to convene as Drainage Trustees.
Scheduled Drainage Trustees business includes:
- Approval of the tentative agenda.
- Approval of minutes from the last meeting.
- Approval of drainage claims.
- An open forum for public input regarding Drainage Districts.
- Review of previously submitted work orders.
- Review and signing of any open drainage invoices.
The packet does not identify specific drainage districts, work orders, claim amounts, or invoice amounts associated with these agenda items.
What to Watch at the Meeting
The Fiscal Year 2026–2027 budget amendment is the clearest scheduled policy and financial action in the packet because it includes both a public hearing and subsequent consideration of Resolution 2026-27.
Other items to watch include the proposed FY27 Secondary Roads IADOT Budget amendment, potential Annex Building lease, and Medical Examiner Training reimbursement. Because the packet provides only brief agenda descriptions for these matters, details about their scope, financial impact, and proposed terms are not available in the supplied materials.
