SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: City Manager’s Office
Prepared by: Andrew Hening,
Director of Homeless
Planning & Outreach
City Manager Approval: ______________
TOPIC: MOBILE SHOWERS
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO LEASE TWO MOBILE SHOWER TRAILERS
AND A PICKUP TRUCK TO DOWNTOWN STREETS TEAM FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
MARIN MOBILE CARE MOBILE SHOWER PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution authorizing the City Manager
to lease two mobile shower trailers and a pickup truck to Downtown Streets Team.
BACKGROUND: Beginning in March of 2016, the City of San Rafael began discussions with senior staff and board
members at the Ritter Center to consider possible operational changes to their site. In August of 2016, a final set
of changes was agreed upon (relocating shower services, relocating mail services, and relocating homeless food
pantry services, all contingent upon the creation of comparable services elsewhere), all of which were confirmed
in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and Ritter Center, dated August 15, 2016
(Attachment A).
In November of 2016, the City of San Rafael’s Director of Homeless Planning & Outreach spearheaded the
creation of a mobile shower working group, comprised of local community members, the County of Marin’s
Department of Health and Human Services, and local nonprofit agencies including Downtown Streets Team.
Shortly after forming, the working group learned of a parallel effort to develop a mobile shower program in
Novato, which was being led by Quest Church and a local Rotary chapter. Not wanting to separately invest in the
same asset, these two efforts merged in late December. Beginning in January of this year, the working group
began meeting on a bi-weekly basis to further develop the program concept.
First and foremost, the group looked at partnering with an existing mobile shower operator in the San Francisco
Bay Area. Currently mobile shower programs are being operated by Lava Mae (San Francisco), Catho lic Charities
of Sonoma (Sonoma County), and Dignity on Wheels (Santa Clara County, San Mateo County). Unfortunately,
either due to pre-planned expansion efforts in other communities or a logistical inability to scale, none of the
vendors were able to expand to Marin. Thus, the working group began looking at creating a local model, based
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
on the best practices established by these other providers, whereby Downtown Streets Team would operate the
program as a social enterprise through which they could hire formerly homeless program participants. The
working name for this project became “Marin Mobile Care.”
ANALYSIS: Over the last ten months, the Marin Mobile Care working group has developed a comprehensive
business plan and operational framework for providing this much needed service throughout Marin County.
Historically, there has only been one dedicated, free shower location in Marin County – at the Ritter Center in
downtown San Rafael. Downtown San Rafael is an inconvenient and unsustainable option for the 67% of Marin
County’s unsheltered homeless population who reside outside of San Rafael. Moreover, given Ritter’s current
shower infrastructure, they only actually serve approximately 16% of Marin County’s unsheltered homeless
population over the course of any given week.
Given this significant gap in services and access, Marin Mobile Care is seeking to offer mobile showers at several
locations throughout Marin County. Compared to traditional, costly infrastructure investments, mobile showers
are affordable, flexible and easily scalable. A trailer equipped with three private-entry shower units, including a
bathroom in each unit, can be towed to and from sites by a pickup truck. By providing showers for a limited
period of time suited to a local community’s needs, negative community impacts can be dramatically reduced.
Experience and demand may lead to expanding the mobile shower schedule or adding additional sites. Future
mobile services could include resources such as health care, food pantries, and laundry. Currently, Marin Mobile
Care is planning to launch its shower pilot program in early 2018, with a full rollout in place by summer. Ritter
Center will cease to offer shower services in Downtown San Rafael when the rollout is complete. The Marin
Mobile Care working group is partnering with the County of Marin, Marin Community Clinics, other cities, and
other nonprofit agencies on locations.
Importantly, by disrupting the status quo and reaching people currently off the grid, we reinforce that services
should be a gateway to housing and employment, not an end point. Marin Mobile Care will serve as an entry
point to Marin County's broader system of care. Everyone who signs up to take a shower will be entered into
the County of Marin’s Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), and an onsite Case Manager will
assist clients in accessing supportive services.
Capital Requirements
One of the most critical components of any mobile shower program is the infrastructure itself. The Ritter Center
currently operates four shower units, two of which are California ADA compliant. As the working group soon
learned, not only are there a limited number of mobile shower trailer vendors across the country, there is an
even smaller number who are able to build to California ADA compliance. From this limited pool, our group
received quotes from Portable Restroom Trailers, LLC ($101,820 for six stalls) and Rich Trailers ($39,254 for two
stalls). For each vendor the working group looked at price, specifications, and customer reviews.
At the conclusion of the working group’s analysis, Portable Restroom Trailers, LLC was determined to meet our
needs in terms of specifications and competitive pricing. In addition to meeting the California ADA threshold,
they offered the best price per shower stall rate. Even though they’re based in South Carolina, our team was
able to tour a unit they sold to Heart Consciousness in Lake County, which was purchased to serve the people
displaced by the 2015 Valley Fire.
In addition to assessing price and specifications, we also needed to be mindful of trailer weight and
comparability to Ritter’s current services. As long as a vehicle’s tow-load is below 10,000 lbs, the vehicle’s driver
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
can use a Class C license. In thinking about Downtown Streets Team’s Team Members operating these vehicles,
we want to keep the fully loaded (waste water, shower supplies, units themselves) trailers under 10,000 lbs.
In needing to provide a comparable service level to what is currently offered at Ritter, we want to provide at
least two ADA stalls and at least four stalls overall. Therefore, the working group recommended the purchase of
two of Portable Restroom Trailers’ ADA + 2 Combo trailers. Together, these two units provide six showers
overall, with two California ADA stalls overall.
With the shower equipment identified, the City of San Rafael’s Director of Homeless Planning & Outreach began
developing potential funding sources. Through that outreach the working group was invited to apply for a Buck
Family Foundation capital grant. At the end of June we were notified that we were selected for a $120,000 one-
time capital grant.
After much debate and input from local providers and public agencies, it was ultimately decided that the City of
San Rafael should formally accept the funding from the Buck Family Foundation. For one, the City of San Rafael
initiated this process through its negotiations with the Ritter Center about moving services. Secondly, there
were concerns about the capital funding going directly to a service provider. If, for some reason, the service
provider decided to stop providing shower services and/or decided it wanted to shift the resource to another
jurisdiction, our community would not have a formal recourse to prevent that. Thus, the City accepted the
funding in mid-August 2017, and the units were ordered at the end of August.
In addition to the trailer units themselves, Downtown Streets Team will also need two pickup trucks to tow the
units. Again, both pickup trucks will need to be able to tow a minimum of 10,000lbs. The City of Larkspur has
generously already donated one of the pickup trucks to Downtown Streets Team. For the second truck, the San
Rafael Police Department offered a pickup truck that was no longer needed by the Department.
To provide Downtown Streets Team with the necessary capital to launch the mobile shower program, the City
will enter into a one-year lease in the amount of $1 annually for both the shower units and the pickup truck.
The lease agreement is attached as Attachment B.
Operations
The mobile shower program will be operated by Downtown Streets Team as a social enterprise. DST will be
responsible for all onsite operations. Specifically, DST will bring (and remove) a shower trailer, a portable
canopy, and a few chairs to prospective pilot sites. The shower trailer, built to specifications, has three separate
entry private shower/toilet units, one of which is CA ADA compliant and is accessed by an 8' long ramp.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 4
The trailer includes a black water waste tank, which will be dumped offsite. Gray water from the showers can be
dumped into storm drains. Fresh water for the showers is provided through a standard 5/8" hose hookup to a
bib and the trailer is powered by 110v. Downtown Streets Team is expecting to provide approximately 9 people
with showers per hour. The trailer will be hauled to and from the site by a full-size pickup truck, which can be
unhitched during operation if needed. Parking at proposed sites will be blocked off while the showers are in
operation. The ADA ramp, which will be accessed from the sidewalk, will be marked with cones. Cones will also
be placed at the rear of the trailer and in front around the trailer tongue. Protective rubber covers will be
placed over the power cord and hose to prevent tripping. The portable canopy will be set up on the blocked off
parking area to provide shade and rain protection to staff and to clients. There will be a few chairs for the Case
Manager and those who are waiting.
Staffing
There will be three paid staff members: an operations manager, an assistant, and a case manager. In addition,
there will be at least two volunteers, either from the community or from DST. The operations manager will be
responsible for transporting, operating, and maintaining the unit, supervising the assistant and the volunteers,
and managing client behavior. The assistant will be responsible for assisting with unit operation, stocking
supplies, cleaning shower stalls, and behavior management. The volunteers will be responsible for greeting
people and distributing towels. The Case Manager will be responsible for referring people to services, data
collection, and general assistance. There will be training, including behavior management strategies, for all
positions.
Guest Experience
There will be a check-in system on site that will schedule people, create a waitlist, and collect data on those
using shower services. Initially, services will be offered on a first-come-first-serve basis. Once all time slots have
been scheduled, there will be few spots available on a waitlist where people can wait on-site in case a time slot
becomes available. There will be protocols in place for any conflict that may arise on site during this waiting
period.
Coordinated Entry: Connecting Clients to Services
As a countywide program, Marin Mobile Care will use coordinated assessment and referral tools to connect
clients to services and to track usage and demand in order to scale and locate services as needed. The goal is to
have every client in HMIS, which is the countywide data system for tracking outcomes for people experiencing
homelessness. In many cases, clients who take showers will already be in HMIS through another agency, and
Downtown Streets Team will use HMIS to track their Marin Mobile Care usage. Any new client will be entered
into HMIS unless they refuse (per the guidelines established by the HMIS Rules and Procedures). The onsite
staff will track those individuals separately for reporting purposes. In addition, Downtown Streets Team will
coordinate with the County to have resources on site as often as possible to do the VI-SPDAT assessment to help
get people in the queue for housing resources via the Coordinated Entry process.
Security
The operations manager will be responsible for handling any client behavior issues. If problems arise that
require a more focused intervention, the operations manager will work with site staff or other site security and
determine whether police or fire services should be called to the site. Prior to the beginning of operations,
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 5
Marin Mobile Care will meet with local police and onsite security services to advise them of the shower location,
schedule and overall operational plan.
FISCAL IMPACT: The City of San Rafael has received $120,000 from the Buck Family Foundation (Marin
Community Foundation) for capital costs related to the Marin Mobile Care program. The City purchased the
mobile trailer units for $103,000 and now owns the units. The units will be leased to Downtown Streets Team
for one year for $1. The City will pass through the remaining $17,000 to Downtown Streets Team for the
purchase of any additional capital requirements (e.g. generators, laundry facilities, branding and marketing on
the units) per the terms of the original grant from the Buck Family Foundation.
OPTIONS: The City Council has the following options to consider on this matter:
1) Adopt the Resolution authorizing the City Manager to lease two mobile shower trailers and a pickup truck to
Downtown Streets Team.
2) Request changes to the Resolution.
3) Reject the Resolution.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") is entered into as of August 15, 2016
("Effective Date") by and among the City of San Rafael (the "City"), a municipal corporation;
Ritter Center ("Ritter"), a California non-profit corporation; and Richard Bottarini and Bonnie
Bottarini (owners of 12 Ritter Street) and Leonard 1. Nibbi and Janet L. Nibbi, Trustees of the
Leonard 1. Nibbi and Janet L. Nibbi Revocable Trust, and Alma Adda Brovelli, Trustee of the
George E. and Alma Adda Brovelli Trust, and Karen M. Brovelli, Trustee of the Karen Marie
Brovelli Revocable Trust (owners of 16 Ritter Street) (collectively "Owners"), (each, a "Party,"
collectively "Parties") with reference to the following matters.
RECITALS
A. Ritter Ccnter was established in the early 1980s to serve the needs of local low-
income residents (including homeless residents and those at risk of becoming homeless). Ritter
currently provides a variety of services, including medical, mental health, case management,
substance abuse, day, food pantry, shower, laundry, mail, and housing and rental assistance to
low income and homeless people at real property commonly known as 12 and 16 Ritter Street,
San Rafael, CA 94901 (the "Premises"), which is located in downtown San Rafael. Ritter leases
the Premises from Owners (Ritter leases 12 Ritter Street from Richard Bottarini and Bonnie
Bottarini; Ritter leases 16 Ritter Street from Leonard 1. Nibbi and Janet L. Nibbi, Trustees of the
Leonard J . Nibbi and Janet L. Nibbi Revocable Trust, Alma Adda Brovelli, Trustee of the
George E. and Alma Adda Brovelli Trust, and Karen M. Brovelli, Trustee of the Karen Marie
Brovelli Revocable Trust). Ritter cUlTently operates pursuant to certain approvals issued by the
City, including Conditional Use Permit UP13-030 ("CUP"), which was issued by the City in
2013. Ritter has rights to operate Ritter Center at the Premises pursuant to the terms of the CUP.
B. Some members of the City's community perceive that (i) in recent years, the
popUlation of homeless and near-homeless persons in Marin County ("County") generally, and
in downtown San Rafael in particular, has significantly increased, (ii) actions of some of the
homeless and near-homeless persons in downtown San Rafael have caused adverse impacts to
local residents, businesses, and visitors. It is the City'S belief that changes in the services
offered at Ritter Center for those persons who use its services ("Ritter Clients") could mitigate
such adverse impacts .
C. Over the course of the last several months, the City and Ritter have been
discussing relocating some of the services offered at Ritter Center to other locations, while also
preserving the availability and accessibility of those services for Ritter Clients. In addition, the
City and Ritter have been cooperating in good faith to identify potential alternative sites for
Ritter to relocate its facilities for serving Ritter Clicnts.
D. Contemporaneously with the discussions referenced in the prior recital, the City
held public hearings before the City Council regarding whether to modify or revoke the CUP
based on, among other things, concerns expressed by members of the community that Ritter was
causing or allowing nuisance conditions around the Premises. Ritter disputed these contentions
and asserted, inter alia, that Ritter was in full compliance with the CUP and that the City lacked
12574336 .112573926.1
OAK #4845-2649-7842 viI
Page 1 of 11
proper legal grounds to modify or revoke Ritter's CUP. The City did not make any findings or
decision to modify or revoke the CUP.
E . Contemporaneously with the entry of this MOU, the City Council has publicly
announced its suspension of such administrative proceedings in order to provide the Parties an
opportunity to enter and implement this MOU.
F. City staff has considered whether to recommend that the Planning Commission
and the City Council consider a zoning change for the Premises to prohibit continued operation
of the Ritter Center (after an amortization period), but neither City staff, the Planning
Commission, nor the City Council have pursued such potential legislation. Ritter believes there
is no legitimate basis to support a zoning change or other limitation of its rights under the CUP.
G. At a duly noticed City Council meeting on June 6, 2016 (which included a duly
noticed public hearing regarding Ritter's CUP), the City Council and Ritter representatives
discussed the formation of a memorandum of understanding to address the City's and Ritter's
interests in pursuing certain operational and locational changes regarding Ritter's services. The
City Council directed City staff and counsel to pursue the drafting and entry of such a
memorandum of understanding .
H. The Pat1ies have now agreed to a process to implement certain voluntary
operational changes to Ritter's use of the Premises as described in this MOU, once comparable
replacement services have been established at alternative locations . Replacement services must
be accessible to the target population and be of similar or better quality and quantity - i .e.
available during similar hours and be able to serve at least the same number of people, as set
forth in this MOU.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals hereof and the mutual covenants and
agreement contained in the MOU, the parties agree as follows :
AGREEMENT
1. INCORPORA TION OF RECITALS
The recitals set forth above, and all defined terms set forth in such recitals and in the
introductory paragraph preceding the recitals, are hereby incorporated into this MOU as though
set forth in full.
2. CONDITIONS AND TERMS FOR VOLUNTARY DISCONTINUATION OF
CERT AIN PERMITTED SERVICES BY RITTER
Provided that the conditions of Subsection (A) have been and remain satisfied, Ritter
shall discontinue its provision of certain services on the Premises, on the replacement service
telms set f011h below in Subsection (B).
12574336 .112573926.1
OAK #4845-2649-7842 \'11

A. Conditions Precedent.
(i) The City has not, subsequent to the Effective Date, recommenced
administrative proceedings regarding whether to modify or revoke the CUP
(which administrative proceedings were suspended contemporaneously with the
City Council's approval of this MOU, as discussed in the Recitals). While
satisfaction of this condition (or written waiver by Ritter thereof) is a prerequisite
to the triggering of Ritter's obligations in Subsection (B) below, the City reserves
and retains its police power authority to recommence administrative actions to
modify or revoke the CUP. In the event that the City recommences administrative
actions to modify or revoke the CUP, Ritter Center shall have no further
obligations under this MOU.
(ii) The City has not, subsequent to the Effective Date, commenced
any legislative proceedings to consider whether to change the zoning for the
Premises to prohibit such uses of the Premises made by Ritter as of the Effective
Date. In the event that the City commences legislative proceedings to consider
rezoning to prohibit any such use of the Premises, Ritter Center shall have no
further obligations under this MOO,
B. Replacement Service Terms. This Section 2(B) addresses rights and obligations
with respect to replacement services, once third party providers have commenced providing
certain services Ritter now provides, as follows (see Section 3, below, regarding the process for
identifying such providers, among other things):
(i) Food Pantry. Within 30 days of the date on which a third party
commences providing (or two or more third parties commence providing), in a
location mutually agreeable to the City and Ritter, no fewer than 90 meal p011ions
per week (in the aggregate and collectively) in a reasonably comparable manner
as Ritter's existing program to individuals without access to indoor cooking
facilities, Ritter shall stop providing food pantry services to individuals without
access to indoor cooking facilities at the Premises (and shall not resume providing
such services at the Premises, except as provided in Section 5 below). For
purposes of this provision, Ritter will use good faith efforts to determine those
Ritter Clients who are homeless. Nothing in this Section 2(B) affects Ritter's
right to provide food pantry services at the Premises to individuals and/or families
with access to indoor cooking facilities. However, Ritter will provide information
and meet and confer with the City with respect to food pantry services for housed
individuals and/or families as discussed in Section 3. Ritter emphasizes that the
best practice is to provide food pantry service for residents with access to cooking
facilities co-located with benefit enrollment for Cal Fresh and Medi-Cal.
(ii) Mail Services. Within 30 days of the provision, by a third palty
(or two or more third parties), of mailboxes or facilities capable of receiving mail
for at least 150 Ritter Clients (in the aggregate and collectively) in a reasonably
comparable manner as currently provided by Ritter, Ritter shall stop providing
12574336.112573926.1
OAK #4845-2649-7842 vii
Page 3 of 11
mail services to Ritter Clients at the Premises (and shall not resume providing
such services at the Premises, except as provided in Section 5 below).
(iii) Shower and Laundry Services. Within 30 days of the provision, by
a third party (or two or more third pru1ies), of shower and laundry services
(mobile or stationary), in a reasonably comparable manner as currently provided
by Ritter, Ritter shall stop providing shower and laundry services at the Premises
(and shall not resume providing such services at the Premises, except as provided
in Section 5 below).
3. CITY-RITTER COOPERATION TO IMPLEMENT SECTION 2
A. Tasks and Timing for Implementing Section 2. The City and Ritter shall
cooperate in good faith to implement Section 2(B) in a timely manner, with the understanding
that (1) the City will take the lead in this regard and (2) Ritter will, acting in good faith, provide
informational support and take such actions as are reasonably necessary to assist with the
transition of these services. To that end, the City and Ritter shall cooperate to meet the following
deadlines with the understanding that the City will be responsible for arranging for the
establishment of the replacement services and Ritter will be responsible for transitioning services
once replacement services are established:
(i) Identification of Third Party Providers. The City and Ritter shall
reasonably cooperate to identify third parties (including other non-profit
organizations and the County) capable of providing each of the services
described in Section 2(B). The City shall create a list of potential third
party providers for each of the three services identified in Section 2(B)
using informational support provided by Ritter by late September 2016.

(ii) Negotiation with Third Party Providers. The City shall contact and, with
Ritter's input (including providing relevant information regarding the
service(s) provided by Ritter and the target population for such services),
negotiate the terms of agreement(s) and/or arrangement(s) with third
parties capable of providing each of the services described in Section 2(B).
The City shall have contacted and have made good faith efforts to
commence negotiations with such third party providers by mid-October
2016. The individuals from the City who are primarily responsible for
implementation of this task are as provided for in section 3 (A)(i),
subdivisions (a) and (b).
(iii) Commencement of Third Partv Services. The City, with good faith
assistance and support from Ritter, shall use good faith, commercially
reasonable efforts to cause one or more third party service providers to

Section 2(B)(iii) by early July 2017. The individuals from the City who
are primarily responsible for implementation and individuals from Ritter
primarily responsible for the transition of this task are as provided for in
section 3(A)(i), subdivisions (a) and (b).
B. Food Pantry Services Information and Consideration. Ritter will promptly
provide, to the City, data and information reasonably requested by the City regarding the
jurisdictions from which Ritter's housed and homeless clients come to receive food pantry
services (though disclosure to the City of individuals' names and precise street addresses will not
be required), so that the City can better understand the scope, nature, and capacities of Ritter's
current food pantry operations (for housed and homeless clients alike).
4. RELOCATION OF RITTER CENTER'S REMAINING SERVICES
A. Identification of a Relocation Site. The City and Ritter will continue to
cooperate in good faith to identify other suitable premises in Marin County, both inside and
outside the City's jurisdictional limits, where Ritter Center can potentially relocate (for the
continuation of the services Ritter Center has continued to provide as of that time) ("Potential
Relocation Site"). This provision does not obligate Ritter to relocate from the Premises.
B. Land Use Review. The City will process in good faith any application by Ritter
and potential co-tenants for entitlements (e.g., a use permit) for a Potential Relocation Site within
the City's jurisdiction.
5. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
A. Resumption of Services. If a third palty or parties discontinue the provision of
the services identified in Section 2(B) beyond the cure period identified in Section 7, and Ritter
has continued to provide any services at the Premises (e.g., it has not completely relocated
pursuant to Section 4), Ritter shall be entitled to immediately begin providing such services on
the Premises consistent with the CUP.

following as requested: (l) Certificates of Insurance evidencing the insurance coverage required in
this Agreement; (2) a copy of the policy declaration page and/or endorsement page listing all policy
endorsements for the commercial general liability policy, and (3) excerpts of policy language or
specific endorsements evidencing the other insurance requirements set forth in this Agreement.

from LESSEE. Failure to exercise this right shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise it
later. The insurance shall be approved as to form and sufficiency by the City Attorney.
