From the meeting
At the November 2, 2026 meeting, the Police Chief asked to move a patrol officer into a dedicated investigations role and backfill the vacancy with an entry-level officer. The memo said the change was driven by heavier data-entry burden after Tyler Technologies software was implemented by the Stearns County Sheriff's Department Dispatch center, plus increased demand for fraud investigations, fingerprinting, background checks, overdoses, human service referrals, and assaults. The plan would change staffing from 13 officers and 2 non-sworn to 14 officers and 1 non-sworn.
Decision state: scheduled for approval.

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.
