RESOLUTION NO. 15505
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT FOR
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES WITH PETALUMA PEOPLE SERVICE CENTER TO EXTEND
THE TERM THROUGH JUNE 30, 2027 FOR CONTINUATION OF THE SPECIALIZED
ASSISTANCE FOR EVERYONE (SAFE) TEAM IN A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT $775,000
PER YEAR THROUGH THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT EXTENSION
WHEREAS, the City recognizes that there are individuals and entities that are better
trained, suited, and equipped to navigate and deliver services related to mental health, substance
abuse, and unsheltered and housing services available to individuals in need; and
WHEREAS, the City has a need for the SAFE Team to respond to a wide range of mental
health related crisis, including conflict resolution, welfare checks, substance abuse and suicide
threats; and
WHEREAS, community members will be diverted from the criminal justice system,
emergency departments and crisis stabilization units by providing a more specialized response;
and
WHEREAS, following a competitive procurement, on January 17, 2023, the City Council
selected and authorized the City Manager to enter into a contract with Petaluma People Services
Center (PPSC) for specialized assistance for everyone (SAFE) team services; and
WHEREAS, Petaluma People Services Center (PPSC) has a proven track record of
providing wrap-around services to clients as a trusted community partner; and
WHEREAS, PPSC has the capabilities, staff, and experience to implement an Alternative
Response Team in San Rafael; and
WHEREAS, PPSC will provide a two-person mobile team of Crisis Counselors and
Emergency Medical Technicians 12 hours per day / 7 days per week / 365 days per year; and
WHEREAS, the noncompetitive procurement is justified due to the lack of contractual
coverage between the date the applicable grant agreement was executed on December 18, 2025,
and the date a new contract is required to be in place by February 28, 2026. Entering into a
competitive procurement process within this timeframe would result in a service gap, disrupting
crisis response services relied upon by the community and emergency responders; and
WHEREAS, Additional justification for sole source procurement is based on prior
competitive efforts. A Request for Proposals for the same services was advertised and distributed
approximately three years ago, and Petaluma People Services Center was the only organization
that met the City’s requirements. Since that time, PPSC has developed and maintained the
existing SAFE Team staffing model, completed extensive training, and achieved full
interoperability with San Rafael Police and Fire dispatch and response protocols; and
Docusign Envelope ID: 38798359-9DB4-4303-A833-0F9D789B3656
WHEREAS, PPSC’s three years of operational integration, institutional knowledge, and
demonstrated performance cannot be readily replicated without significant fiscal cost and delay.
Transitioning to a new service provider during the active grant period (August 1, 2025 through
September 30, 2027) would require recruitment, onboarding, training, and system integration that
would delay implementation, increase reliance on sworn and fire personnel for behavioral health
calls, and negatively impact individuals in crisis who have come to expect a SAFE Team
response; and.
WHEREAS, the City having been awarded the grant funding and having identified
dedicated local funding sources, such as Cannabis Fund and the Opioid Settlement fund, to cover
the cost of the contract extension.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of San Rafael hereby
finds the foregoing recitals true and correct and authorizes the City Manager to negotiate and
execute an amendment to Professional Services Agreement with Petaluma People Services
Center to: 1) extend the term to June 30, 2027,2) in the not to exceed amount of $775,000 per
year through the term of the contract extension,, 3) to amend the scope of work to conform to the
parties’ existing practices and 4) to amend the insurance requirements for clarity. .
I, Lindsay Lara, Clerk of the City of San Rafael, hereby certify foregoing resolution was
duly and regularly introduced and adopted at a regular meeting on the City Council of said City
held on Monday, the 2nd day of February 2026, by the following vote to wit:

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:

of certain information from us, and to withdraw your prior consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically as

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

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.
