As the contracted law enforcement <br />provider for Falcon Heights, SAPD experiences a direct operational burden associated with these <br />impacts. To maintain public safety and service levels, SAPD must deploy additional personnel, <br />equipment, investigative resources, and administrative support. This Agreement establishes a fair <br />and reasonable mechanism for the Society to reimburse SAPD for those necessary and directly <br />attributable public safety services. <br />32
