The Rock County Board of Supervisors meeting on October 29, 2026, included a public hearing on the recommended 2027 budget. Speakers urged the board to reconsider reductions affecting the Veterans Assistance Center, emphasizing the service’s role in helping local veterans access benefits and other support. One written comment opposed reclassifying a deputy veterans services officer position. No budget vote or procurement action was recorded during the hearing.

The board approved a resolution converting one deputy sheriff position to a detective position in response to increased and more complex criminal investigations, with the goal of assigning two detectives to second shift. The estimated 2026 budget cost was $1,763.20; the resolution had passed unanimously in the Public Safety and Justice Committee and County Board Staff Committee. No contracts, vendor selections, or purchasing decisions were identified.
