Lafayette Consolidated Government

What Lafayette Consolidated Government does

Lafayette Consolidated Government (LCG) is the consolidated city-parish government administering municipal and parish-level services for Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, under Mayor-President Monique B. Boulet. LCG serves 250,000+ residents across the parish through a portfolio of operating departments and wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the Lafayette Police Department, Lafayette Fire Department, Lafayette Utilities System (LUS), LFT Fiber (municipal broadband), Lafayette Animal Shelter and Care Center (LASCC), PARC (Parks, Art, Recreation and Culture), OHSEP (homeland security and emergency preparedness), and the Juvenile Detention Home. Service delivery spans public safety, electric/water/wastewater utilities, fiber internet, drainage maintenance across 2,500+ miles of systems, trash and recycling, transit, permitting, and recreation programming, with $80 million invested annually in public safety and 180+ active infrastructure projects totaling $186 million.

The underlying technology layer is built on third-party civic platforms: Esri ArcGIS for GIS mapping and the public Capital Improvements dashboard, Socrata for the Financial Transparency Dashboard, Survey123 for forms such as animal shelter adoptions, LexisNexis for police crash report processing, and a 311 Lafayette citizen service portal for issue reporting and tracking. LUS operates as a regulated municipal utility managing electric, water, wastewater, environmental compliance, engineering, power production, and power supply under a $300 million annual budget with 470+ full-time employees, and LFT Fiber delivers high-speed internet across the parish.

LCG's revenue model is non-commercial and statutory, drawing from recurring streams (property taxes, LUS utility tariffs, LFT Fiber subscriptions) and transactional streams (sales tax collections, fees for crash reports at $7.50, fire reports at $5, criminal history checks at $5, public records duplication, permits and licenses, parking). Distribution is direct to residents and businesses through the 311 portal, physical offices (City Hall at 705 West University Avenue, Central Fire Station, Police Records, LFT Fiber office), online billing portals, the LafayetteNOW emergency alert system, and dedicated transit (ridelts.com). Marketing and civic engagement run through the official website, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, YouTube, and the LafayetteNOW notification system.
