Sheriff Sean
Deringer
To the Citizens of Wright County,
As your Sheriff, I am honored to serve this community and to stand beside you in collaboration as we
have navigated the opportunities and challenges of 2025. Each year brings change, but our shared
commitment to safety, integrity, and community care remains constant.
Public safety today looks different than it did even a decade ago. Technology continues to evolve, from
advanced emergency response systems to the use of body-worn cameras and data-driven policing
strategies. My office remains committed to using these tools responsibly and transparently, ensuring
they strengthen trust rather than diminish it. Accountability and professionalism are not optional—they
are foundational to the oath we take.
Over the past year, we have expanded community outreach efforts, strengthened collaboration with
local schools, and invested in mental health response training with our co-responder team.
I want to express my gratitude for the trust you place in our agency. We are committed to listening and to
serving every resident with integrity, professionalism, fairness and caring.
Respectfully,
Sean A. Deringer
Wright County Sheriff

Continued Improvements
In recent years we have continued to improve our service by expanding and
offering the following:
Co-responder unit: Pairs a Deputy with a Social Worker to respond to calls involving behavioral
health concerns. Together, they combine safety, de-escalation, and clinical expertise to
manage crises effectively and to connect individuals to appropriate services.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) continue to be a valuable tool in supporting patrol
operations and critical incidents. In 2025, the program expanded with additional pilots and
equipment, and UAVs are now deployed directly from patrol vehicles for faster response. This
has improved situational awareness and strengthened our overall capabilities in the field.
Agenda Page 10
Sheriff Deputies responded to 5,251 calls for service in Albertville in 2025.
Of those calls for service, 2,343 incidents turned into a case report and
required further investigation by the deputies. Below is a 5 year look back

SUBJECT: CONSENT – FINANCE – 10% ANNUAL GAMBLING CONTRIBUTION
BALANCE: The balance of the gambling contribution fund as of April 14, 2026, is $44,943.98.
The annual projection of funds to be collected is approximately $86,000.
BACKGROUND: Per City Code section 4-3-8, organizations licensed by the State to conduct
lawful gambling shall contribute to the City 10% of its net profits derived from lawful gambling
operations within the City. Annually, the city must file a report to the State showing
contributions, expenses, and balance of the 10% gambling contributions.
KEY ISSUES:
• Funds can be used for limited purposes.
• Balance of the gambling fund 208 will be funding a portion of the playground equipment
in Central Park.
PRACTICES/POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council review gambling
contribution balances annually.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no financial considerations at this time.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: MN Statute 349.213 (f)(2) allows a city by ordinance to require
organizations to contribute 10% of their net profit derived from lawful gambling within the City
to be used for limited purposes. The Mayor and Council have the authority to review and direct
staff to act regarding all financial matters.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
April 20, 2026
SUBJECT: CONSENT – FINANCE – AUTHORIZE AND DOCUMENT INTER-FUND
LOANS/ADVANCES FROM INDUSTRIAL PARK DEBT SERVICE FUND
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution No. 2026-10 authorizing and documenting Inter-Fund Loans
to Fund Negative Fund balances.
• Inter-Fund Loan Capital Outlay Fund (102) to TIF# 17 Old Castle Fund (417) in the
amount of $175,019 to fund the negative balance in the TIF fund.
• Inter-Fund Loan Capital Outlay Fund (102) to TIF# 20 Scherer Brothers Fund (420) in
the amount of $543,169 to fund the negative balance in the TIF fund.
• Inter-Fund Loan Capital Outlay Fund (102) to TIF# 12 Schultz & Schupp (412) in the
amount of $420 to fund the negative balance in the TIF fund.
• Inter-Fund Loan Capital Outlay Fund (102) to TIF# 21 Medart Fund (421) in the amount
of $10,239 to fund the negative balance in the TIF fund.
• Inter-Fund Loan Capital Outlay Fund (102) to TIF# 22 Mold Tech (422) in the amount of
$248,513 to fund the negative balance in the TIF fund.
• Inter-Fund Loan Capital Outlay Fund (102) to TIF# 23 Guardian Angels (423) in the
amount of $14,569 to fund the negative balance in the TIF fund.
BACKGROUND: Inter-fund loans provide interim financing until the other financing is
completed. In some cases, inter-fund loans are the primary source of finance for projects that
have a very short financing term. An example of this would be carrying assessments for a project
for a few years where it is not cost effective to issue new debt. At least annually, City staff and
auditors review and recommend inter-fund loans/advances to fund running negative balances so
as to remain in compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is the Mayor and Council’s policy to review and approve all
inter-fund loans/advances.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: At least annually, the City must fund all negative running
balances for Capital Projects, Debt Service, or other miscellaneous funds in accordance with
GAAP. The inter-fund loan or advance is a loan from a specific fund to the respective negative
balance funds at an interest rate equal to the rate of investment earned by the City’s investments.
Included in the loan is a financial commitment detailing the source of funds to repay the loan.
These inter-fund loans are an inexpensive way to fund some City activities instead of issuing
bonds.
