hired vehicles) insurance policy in the minimum amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000)
per occurrence.
3. Professional liability. If any licensed professional performs any of the
work required to be performed under this Contract, a professional liability insurance policy
in the minimum amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence/two million dollars
($2,000,000) aggregate, to cover any claims arising out of the Contractor's performance
under this Contract. Where Contractor is a professional not required to have a professional
license, City reserves the right to require Contractor to provide professional liability
insurance pursuant to this section.
4. Workers’ compensation. If it employs any person, Contractor shall
maintain workers’ compensation insurance, as required by the State of California, with
statutory limits, and employer’s liability insurance with limits of no less than one million
dollars ($1,000,000) per accident for bodily injury or disease. Contractor’s workers’
compensation insurance shall be specifically endorsed to waive any right of subrogation
against City.

requirements:

Docusign Envelope ID: 9A6DECCC-33B4-4900-834D-C3E3F4DDB1BA
v. Feb 2025 Exhibit B-2
policies shall be “primary and noncontributory” with respect to any insurance or coverage
maintained by City and shall not call upon City's insurance or self-insurance coverage for
any contribution. The “primary and noncontributory” coverage in Contractor’s policies shall
be at least as broad as ISO form CG20 01 04 13.
3. Except for professional liability insurance or workers’ compensation
insurance, the insurance policies shall include, in their text or by endorsement, coverage for
contractual liability and personal injury.
4. By execution of this Contract, Contractor hereby grants to City a
waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of Contractor may acquire against
City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. Contractor agrees to
obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to effect this waiver of subrogation, but
this provision applies regardless of whether or not City has received a waiver of

than five years.
6. The insurance policies shall provide for a retroactive date of placement

combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess
insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also

contract or agreement) before City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon

8. It shall be a requirement under this Contract that any available
insurance proceeds broader than or in excess of the specified minimum insurance coverage
requirements and/or limits shall be available to City or any other additional insured party.
Furthermore, the requirements for coverage and limits shall be: (1) the minimum coverage
and limits specified in this Contract; or (2) the broader coverage and maximum limits of
coverage of any insurance policy or proceeds available to the named insured; whichever is

Contract are sufficient to cover the obligations of the Contractor under this Contract.
9. Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other
party involved with the performance of work under this Contract, who is brought onto or
involved in the performance of the work by Contractor under this Contract, provide the
same minimum insurance coverage required of Contractor, except as with respect to
limits. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all
responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the
requirements of this Contract. CONSUTLANT agrees that upon request by City, all
Docusign Envelope ID: 9A6DECCC-33B4-4900-834D-C3E3F4DDB1BA
v. Feb 2025 Exhibit B-3
agreements with, and insurance compliance documents provided by, such
subcontractors and others engaged in the work under this Contract will be submitted to
City for review.
10. Contractor agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract
used by any party involved in any way with the Scope of Work reserves the right to charge
City or Contractor for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this Contract.
Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to
reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall
be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect
thereto.
C. Deductibles and SIR’s. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions in
Contractor's insurance policies must be declared to and approved by the City and shall
not reduce the limits of liability. Policies containing any self-insured retention (SIR) provision
shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the SIR may be satisfied by either the named
insured or City or other additional insured party. At City's option, the deductibles or self-
insured retentions with respect to City shall be reduced or eliminated to City's satisfaction,
or Contractor shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related
investigations, claims administration, attorney’s fees and defense expenses.
D. Proof of Insurance. Contractor shall provide to the Project Manager all of
the following: (1) Certificates of Insurance evidencing the insurance coverage required in

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 Contract. City reserves the right to obtain a full certified copy of any insurance policy
and endorsements from Contractor. 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.
Failure to comply with these requirements shall be considered a material breach of
contract.

Mr. Rob Epstein
City Attorney
City of San Rafael
1400 Fifth Ave., Rm. 202
San Rafael, CA 94901
Dear Mr. Epstein,
I am pleased to provide this proposal to provide professional consulting services to the City
of San Rafael.
Based on my discussions with City staff, this is my understanding of the City’s needs:
• A performance evaluation was recently conducted for the San Rafael City Manager,
Christine Alilovich.
• Separately, a 360° “survey” was conducted, seeking input from City Councilmembers,
staff and some outside organizations. Due to the way the survey was constructed and
implemented, it was not possible to disaggregate the feedback by group, nor
determine who responded to the survey.
• To assist in the City Manager’s continued professional development, the City is seeking
a process that focuses on senior leadership feedback. This process will build upon the
results of the survey to provide more detailed insights into the team’s perceptions of
the City Manager’s leadership and management of the organization.
• The City also seeks to engage an external consultant to provide confidential,
individualized coaching and support to the City Manager, enabling her to thoughtfully
interpret and respond constructively to the additional senior leadership feedback.
Docusign Envelope ID: 9A6DECCC-33B4-4900-834D-C3E3F4DDB1BA
Page 2
As a former City Manager for 22 years and as a consultant for the last 4 years
conducting performance evaluation processes and executive coaching, I believe I am
well qualified to assist the City.
Scope of Work
I propose the following scope of work for this engagement, which is subject to modification
upon mutual agreement:
1. Initial Preparation
a. Interview Questions
Review questions to be used for individual interviews with City Manager.
b. Identify Interviewees
Working with the City Manager, prepare a list of senior leadership staff to be
interviewed. Assemble contact information for each interviewee.
c. Coordinate Communications Regarding Process
Working with the City Manager, develop communications to be sent by the
City Manager to senior leadership staff about the process, including a
guarantee of confidentiality and the anonymity of feedback provided in
interviews.
2. Interview Senior Leadership Staff
I will conduct one-on-one interviews via Zoom or Teams with the following 12
members of the senior staff:
• City Clerk Lindsay Lara
• Police Chief Dave Spiller
• Fire Chief Abe Roman
• Community and Economic Development Director Micah Hinkle
• Digital Services & Open Government Director Sean Mooney
• Finance Director Paul Navazio
• Human Resources Director Marissa Sanchez
• Library & Recreation Director Catherine Quffa
• Public Works Director April Miller
Docusign Envelope ID: 9A6DECCC-33B4-4900-834D-C3E3F4DDB1BA
Page 3
• Chief Assistant City Attorney Andrea Visveshwara
• Assistant City Manager Angela Robinson Piñon
• Assistant City Manager John Stefanski
For the interviews, I will use a set of open-ended questions that will be shared
in advance. The interviews will be confidential, and feedback will be reported
anonymously.
3. Prepare Report
I will prepare a comprehensive draft report summarizing the feedback obtained from
the interviews. The report will identify major themes, summarize perceptions of
strengths and weaknesses, and identify opportunities to enhance working
relationships and leadership effectiveness.
4. Review Draft Report
I will review the draft report with the City Manager, providing additional insight from
the interviews, and answer questions she may have about the feedback while
maintaining the anonymity of the interviews. I will then provide a copy of the final
report to the City Manager in advance of the facilitated meeting with the City Council.
5. Facilitate Meeting with the City Council
I will facilitate a meeting with the City Council to review the interview feedback. The
City Manager will be present throughout the meeting and participate in the
discussion. The meeting will begin with a PowerPoint presentation summarizing the
feedback from the interviews. The closed session discussion will focus on the key
themes identified during the interviews about perceived strengths and weaknesses
and areas where there may be opportunities to increase effectiveness. We will also
discuss other constructive feedback provided by interviewees.
6. (Optional) Assist City Manager in Responding to the Feedback
Optionally, I will assist the City Manager in reviewing the feedback and developing a
written response to the Council that:
Docusign Envelope ID: 9A6DECCC-33B4-4900-834D-C3E3F4DDB1BA
Page 4
o Acknowledges any concerns professionally
o Demonstrates understanding of issues raised
o Outlines steps being taken to address concerns
o Reinforces commitment to organizational improvement
o Strengthens the City Manager’s capacity to receive feedback
productively and creates structures for ongoing two-way
communication with staff
Depending on the results of the interview process and feedback from the City Council
following review of the written report, one outcome could be the development of a
detailed plan outlining:
o Key behavioral goals
o Leadership development milestones
o Organizational improvements or procedural adjustments
o Checkpoints for self-assessment and observable outcomes
o Support structures (mentoring, coaching, training).
o Development of short-term (30–60 day), medium-term (90–120 day), and
long-term (6–12 month) targets.
Timeline and Fee
The fee for the senior leadership team interview process (Scope of Work items 1-5) is $10,000.
This fee includes all expenses related to conducting interviews, preparing the feedback
report, and facilitating the meeting with the City Council in San Rafael. All interviews will be
conducted remotely via the Zoom or Teams platforms, while I will facilitate the meeting with
the City Council on site in San Rafael. In the event that an additional executive session
meeting is needed, an additional fee of $500 plus actual travel expenses will be charged.
Optional Scope of Work item 6 would be billed at a rate of $250 per hour, up to a maximum
of 20 hours ($5,000).
Consultant
I will conduct all consulting work outlined in this proposal. My brief qualifications are
summarized below:
Former city manager for 22 years in five diverse communities across the State of
California: La Palma, Seaside, Novato, Concord, and Vallejo.

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of San Rafael (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to you certain written
notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures
electronically through the DocuSign system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can
access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
(ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to ‘I agree to use electronic records and
signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign system.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us.
You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and
immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a
limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us
that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your
decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and
disclosures electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can
complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the
required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your
acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the
DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from
us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you
through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents
that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the
chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and
disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the
disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with
this process, please let us know as described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures electronically from us.
How to contact City of San Rafael:
You may contact us to let us know of your changes as to how we may contact you electronically, to request paper copies
of certain information from us, and to withdraw your prior consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically as
follows: To contact us by email send messages to: city.clerk@cityofsanrafael.org

Parties agreed to: Van Bach, Daniel Keen, Cristine Alilovich
previous email address, your new email address. We do not require any other information from you to change your email
address.
If you created a DocuSign account, you may update it with your new email address through your account preferences.
To request paper copies from City of San Rafael
To request delivery from us of paper copies of the notices and disclosures previously provided by us to you electronically,
you must send us an email to city.clerk@cityofsanrafael.org and in the body of such request you must state your email
address, full name, mailing address, and telephone number. We will bill you for any fees at that time, if any.
To withdraw your consent with City of San Rafael
To inform us that you no longer wish to receive future notices and disclosures in electronic format you may:
i. decline to sign a document from within your signing session, and on the subsequent page, select the check-box
indicating you wish to withdraw your consent, or you may;
ii. send us an email to city.clerk@cityofsanrafael.org and in the body of such request you must state your email, full name,
mailing address, and telephone number. We do not need any other information from you to withdraw consent.. The
consequences of your withdrawing consent for online documents will be that transactions may take a longer time to
process..
Required hardware and software

requirements are found here: https://support.docusign.com/guides/signer-guide-signing-system-requirements.

disclosures that we will provide to you, please confirm that you have read this ERSD, and (i) that you are able to print on
paper or electronically save this ERSD for your future reference and access; or (ii) that you are able to email this ERSD to
an email address where you will be able to print on paper or save it for your future reference and access. Further, if you
consent to receiving notices and disclosures exclusively in electronic format as described herein, then select the check-
box next to ‘I agree to use electronic records and signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign system.
