BACKGROUND In mid-2020, the City Council hosted a series of listening sessions and special City Council meetings focused on policing in Pleasanton. Through these meetings, the City Council directed staff to present a proposal for an Alternate Mental Health Response Program. At its meeting on November 16, 2021, the City Council approved a recommendation to create the Alternate Response Unit (ARU) program. This program pairs a non-uniformed officer with a mental health clinician to respond to calls for service involving individuals suffering from a mental health crisis as well as the unhoused population in Pleasanton. A Request for Proposals (RFP) process was conducted, through which Bonita House, Inc. (BHI) was selected to provide clinician services to partner with the Police Department in implementing the Alternate Response Unit. Following the initial two-year professional services agreement, the agreement was extended for a one-year term, through June 2025. DISCUSSION The initial term of the professional services agreement with BHI was for two years, from July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2024. The third amendment included a one-year extension, from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025. Staff recommends a fourth amendment to this professional services agreement to increase the agreement by $896,500 and extend the term by two years.
