REV: 12-17-25 LR AGREEMENT FOR CONFIDENTIAL DATA EXCHANGE BETWEEN THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY, CALIFORNIA AND THE JOHN W. GARDNER CENTER FOR YOUTH AND THEIR COMMUNITIES AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY This Data Exchange and Confidentiality Agreement (“Agreement”) between the City of Redwood City and The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University by and through its John W. Gardner Center for Youth and Their Communities (hereinafter referred to as JGC) describes the means to be used by JGC to ensure the confidentiality and security of information and data exchanged between the City of Redwood City, California (hereinafter referred to as “Redwood City”) and JGC for the purposes stated below. I. GENERAL TERMS A. PURPOSE The JGC has developed the Gardner Center Data Archive (GCDA), an archive of matched longitudinal administrative data to facilitate collaborative policy analyses and program improvement studies for agencies and community-based organizations. Policy and program improvement questions to be addressed using the GCDA will be developed in collaboration with participating public agencies and representatives of local community-based organizations. In January 2020, a partnership was approved for the CWCRT pilot program for San Mateo County (“County”) acting through the Behavioral Health and Recovery Services of San Mateo County Health (“BHRS”) and four City Police Departments, Daly City, South San Francisco, San Mateo, and Redwood City (“Participating Cities”) to embed in each of these cities’ police departments, a mental health clinician to provide a crisis co-response to crisis calls involving mental health issues (“the Program”). In furtherance of the Program, the County and Participating Cities are partnering with JGC to support the Program’s planning and implementation efforts and have agreed to share the costs of JGC’s work, as set forth in Memorandum of Understanding between the County and Participating Cities. The scope of JGC’s work to support the Program includes regular data analysis to determine the Program’s effectiveness, assess outcomes, and consider appropriate adjustments, and Redwood City is sharing data extracts pursuant to this Agreement to achieve the above stated purpose. B. NATURE OF DATA To further the achievement of the above stated purpose, Redwood City will at its discretion provide JGC with data extracts from Redwood City’s data systems to include data elements identified in Attachment A, as well as any additional items required to answer research questions defined by Redwood City alone or in collaboration with the County and/or other Participating Cities. Redwood City warrants that it has the authority to provide such data to the JGC under the terms of this Agreement, and that Redwood City will not be in breach of any law or representations to any person by providing such information to the JGC. These data extracts will include historical information wherever possible. Additional data elements may be provided at the discretion of Redwood City. ATTY/AGR.2025.343/John W.
