WHEREAS, in 2011, California Governor Brown signed Assembly Bill 109 (AB

offenders and parole violators are sent to county jail instead of state prison to serve
their sentence; and

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 Assembly Bill (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 with 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, 2019 and the Marin County Police Chiefs wish to renew the agreement for
another one-year term; and
2
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;
