WHEREAS, in 2011, California Governor Brown signed Assembly Bill 109 (AB 109),
establishing the California Prison Realignment Plan, under which low-level offenders and parole
violators are sent to county jail instead of state prison to serve their sentence; and
WHEREAS, in Fiscal Year 2012-13 the California Board of State and Community
Corrections (BSCC) allotted funds to cities throughout the state to enable a collective effort by
municipal law enforcement agencies in each county to address criminal activity and an increase
in calls for service due to realignment; and
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
WHEREAS, in 2014, the Marin County Police Chiefs agreed to use their departments’
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 (the “Analyst for
Hire” agreement) from BAIR Analytics, Inc. for a period of one year, as a countywide resource;
and that 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 Analyst for Hire agreement with LexisNexis was executed on
July 24, 2020, and its payment and services terms in Schedule A are scheduled to expire on
June 30, 2021. 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 Analyst for Hire
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;
