SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Approve, as Governing Board of the Contra Costa County Agency, the
Agreement for Legal Services with Cressey H. Nakagawa, and authorize
the Chair to execute the agreement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The agreement calls for payment of a retainer fee of $1,000 per month
for 10 hours of legal consultation and advice. Any legal services in
connection with pending or future litigation and for legal
consultation and advice in excess of ten hours each month shall be
charged at $100 per hour. The contract runs from July 1, 1987 through
June 30, 1988 and calls for a maximum fee of $50,000. The contract is
a renewal of a contract which expired on June 30, 1987 . The maximum
fee of $50 ,000 has been included in the Water Agency budget for Fiscal
Year 1987/88.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The Board of Supervisors, as Governing Board of the Contra Costa
County Water Agency, has designated Cressey Nakagawa as Special Water
Counsel to the Agency. This agreement continues the services of Mr.
Nakagawa from an earlier agreement which has expired.
The Contra Costa County Water Agency is involved in several litigation
and water rights matters which require a Special Water Counsel. The
most pressing issue is preparation for the upcoming water rights
hearings on Bay/Delta Water Quality.
Mr. Nakagawa has been representing the Water Agency for many years and
his performance merits renewal of the Agreement for Legal Services.
This agreement has been reviewed by County Counsel.
