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

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 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, 2022 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

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.
