LCFD is an independent <br />corporation that provides contracted service only to Little Canada. <br /> <br />The City contracts for police protection through the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department. We are one <br />of seven jurisdictions in the County to participate in the relationship. Managers/Administrators of each <br />participant jurisdiction meet monthly to review operations, set budgets, and discuss service level in a <br />cooperative manner that helps keep police costs as low as possible while meeting the public safety <br />needs of our communities. <br /> <br />The City is 1 of 45 jurisdictions that contracts with Metro-INET for information technology (IT) services. <br />This arrangement creates an “economy of scale” that enables us to obtain excellent services that would <br />be far more expensive for comparable quality. <br /> <br />Little Canada provides building inspection services to Falcon Heights. This arrangement allows both <br />communities to provide a responsive and professional service at lower costs than if we each staff our <br />own inspection program. The City is also exploring other potential partnerships related to building <br />inspection services that may help to make this even more sustainable in the future. <br /> <br />Water and Sewer Infrastructure: <br />The City operates and maintains both a water distribution and sanitary sewer collection system. <br />The City of Little Canada maintains a water tower and manages its own water distribution system, but <br />does not have its own wells. Water is purchased from St. Paul Regional Water Service (SPRWS). This <br />water is
