To BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Contra
FROM: PHIL BATCHELOR
County Administrator Costa
DATE: September 21, 1988 Coo t7
SUBJECT: CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH CONTRA COSTA COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION FOR PROVISION
OF CONFLICT DEFENSE SERVICES
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS•
�1. AUTHORIZE the County Administrator or his designee to execute a contract amendment
with the Contra Costa County Bar Association (Contract #3167100) for conflict defense
services, extending the termination date from September 30, 1988 to December 31, 1988
and increasing the payment limit to $800,000 for the period July 1, 1988 to
December 31, 1988.
2. AUTHORIZE the County Administrator to negotiate a contract with the Bar Association
for the period beginning January 1, 1989 for the continuance of conflict defense
services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None beyond that currently budgeted in the FY 1988/89 adopted budget.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The County's current contract with the Bar Association for the provision of conflict
defense services expires on September 30, 1988. At this point in time, no new contract
has been negotiated. Approval of recommendation #1 is needed in order to allow sufficient
time to negotiate a new contract. Otherwise, contract termination on September 30 will
require court re-appointment of all existing conflict cases as well as court appointment
of all new cases. In effect, this would be a reversion to the earlier system of handling
conflict cases under court appointment and probably will increase the cost of this
service. The three-month extension will allow the County Administrator time to negotiate
a new contract with the Bar Association, which we would anticipate being brought back to
your Board for consideration sometime in December.
