PRIVATE NETWORK (VPN) TO THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL'S
NETWORK SERVERS
WHEREAS, the City's Public Works Department has relocated three employees to a
trailer at the new City Corporation Yard site to manage the construction of that project and they
have need of access to the City's network servers from that location; and,
WHEREAS, the City's Management Services Finance Division has begun data conversion
to the Eden Financial Applications System, a process which requires remote access to and from the
vendor's location to transfer necessary data; and,
WHEREAS, the City Attorney's Office requires the ability to access the City's network
servers from off-site locations so that the attorneys can continue to perform work when away from
the office; and,
WHEREAS, Eden Systems' transfer of data to the City's servers is currently being
accomplished via a dial -in protocol which is both slow and cumbersome and is susceptible to the
threat of hackers compromising the system; and
WHEREAS, the vendor for the new Police and Fire CAD/RMS application will also
require remote access to the City's servers to transfer data efficiently and securely; and,
WHEREAS, Extra Team has the training, knowledge and experience to provide and install

and to secure the City's network from unwanted and unwarranted intrusions which could
compromise the City computer network;

Rafael hereby:
