AYES: Supervisors Powers , Fanden, McPeak and Torlakson
NOES: None
ABSENT: Supervisor Schroder
ABSTAIN: None
Approval of Consulting Services Agreement with
SUBJECT: Lori Griggs for Committee for Water Policy Consensus
Staff-Services (7825-6X 5294)
On January 25, 1983, the Board of Supervisors, as Governing Board
of the Contra Costa County Water Agency, authorized the Public Works Director,
as Chief Engineer, to execute a consulting services agreement with Solem & Associates
to develop "a proposal to help establish a Bay-Delta Consensus on Northern California
Water Policy" with the firm of Solem & Associates. The work of Solem & Associates
resulted in the formation of the Committee for Water Policy Consensus. Additional
funding from the Contra Costa County Water Agency, other governmental agencies,
private companies, and foundations, funded the Committee for Water Policy Consensus,
staffed by Solem & Associates until August 31, 1984.
The staff of the Contra Costa County Water Agency (the Environmental
Control Division of the County Public Works Department) will be providing staffing
services to the Committee for Water Policy Consensus during the interim period
until the Committee decides on a permanent staffing arrangement. A subcommittee
of the Committee for Water Policy Consensus meets on September 17, 1984 to discuss
future options for the Committee. The full Committee will meet in October 1984
to decide on its future. The Public Works Department envisions an arrangement
where various agencies will provide staff services to continue the Committee
for Water Policy Consensus and that grant funding may play a major role in financing
future Committee activities. In any case, it appears that the Contra Costa
County Water Agency will play a lead role in coordinating the Committee.
A consulting services agreement has been negotiated with Lori Griggs
to assist the Water Agency staff in providing staff services to the Committee
for Water Policy Consensus. Ms. Griggs was hired by Solem & Associates to perform
a similar function. Now that the Committee's agreement with Solem & Associates
has expired, Ms. Griggs is available to work for the Water Agency. The consulting
services agreement states that Ms. Griggs will be paid on an hourly basis, as
needed, under supervision of the Environmental Control Division of the County
Public Works Department. The contract has a payment limit not to exceed $20,000
for Fiscal Year 1984-1985. This cost can be reduced through supplemental grant
funding and less use of Ms. Griggs due to staff contributions from other agencies.
The Public Works Director, as Chief Engineer for the Contra Costa
County Water Agency, recommends that the consulting services agreement be approved
and the Public Works Director be authorized to execute the agreement.
IT IS BY THE BOARD, AS GOVERNING BOARD OF THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
WATER AGENCY, ORDERED that the recommendation of the Public Works Director,
as Chief Engineer, be APPROVED, and the Public Works Director, as Chief Engineer,
be AUTHORIZED to execute the agreement.
I hereby certffy that this is a true and correct copy of
an action taken and entered on the minutes o{ the
Board of Supervisors on the date shown.
