municipal law enforcement agencies in each county to address criminal activity and an increase

WHEREAS, each county was to elect one city/town to be the fiscal agent for the funds
and the City of San Rafael was chosen as the fiscal agent for Marin County; and

BSCC funds, with additional funds from the Marin County Probation Department’s AB 109
funds, to hire a regional crime analyst to provide crime data analysis to all the Marin County law
enforcement agencies; and
WHEREAS, on March 3, 2014 the City Council approved a resolution authorizing an
agreement to use these funds to obtain professional crime analyst services from BAIR Analytics,
Inc. for a period of one year, as a countywide resource; and the agreement has been renewed
with BAIR Analytics, Inc. and subsequently to that company’s successor, LexisNexis Risk
Solutions, Inc. (LexisNexis), continuously since; and
WHEREAS, the current agreement with LexisNexis is scheduled to expire on June 30,
2020 and the Marin County Police Chiefs wish to renew the agreement for another one-year
term; and
WHEREAS, the City of San Rafael will again act as the fiduciary agent and project
manager for the agreement, on behalf of the law enforcement agencies in Marin County; and

WHEREAS, the cost of the crime analysis services under the renewed agreement will
again be supported by funds provided by Marin County Probation AB 109 funds and the Marin
County Police Chiefs’ BSCC funding, to be deposited in the City’s Safety Grant Fund;
