From the meeting
At its September 22, 2026 meeting, the council discussed a resolution to submit for a $50,000 Sourcewell Impact Funds grant for a police squad car and equipment. Schroeder said the request was tied to cuts in the police department, and council also discussed using one-time public safety funds to reduce the levy. The grant application is the immediate funding trigger for the vehicle and equipment purchase.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will City of Wadena issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Wadena's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
