(Greenfield, IA) – The Adair County Board of Supervisors, Wednesday, passed a motion that called for a zero-percent wage increase for the Board of Supervisors, in Fiscal Year 2027. Supervisor Michael Christoffersen requested the item be placed on the agenda because the carryover percentages in the General Basic and Supplemental funds is lower than what the Board is typically comfortable with or where they have been in years past.

In exploring ways to cut costs, Christoffersen say he kept coming back to the matter of wages.

He said he compared Supervisor’s wages in Adair County with other counties of comparable size.

After the Board approved the zero-percent wage increase for FY27, they discussed holding meetings with County departments in order to identify other ways to keep costs under control.
