Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the

BACKGROUND:
On December 9, 1986, the Board authorized the County
Administrator to enter into contracts with one or more lobbyist
firms to assist in handling legislative representation for the
County on specific issues during the 1987 legislative session.
We are recommending an interim contract with D. J. Smith
Associates on an hourly basis for the first three months of 1987
to evaluate the issues relating to transportation and abandoned
vehicles which have been introduced, and to develop a strategy
for accomplishing the Board' s goals in these areas during 1987 .
Mr. Smith has already appeared before the Board to describe some
of the issues related to the Benicia--Martinez Bridge. This
contract will allow for completion of the assignments made as a
result of that appearance as well as outlining those issues the
Board. will need to address this year in the transportation and
abandoned vehicle areas.
Upon the expiration of this contract, this office will negotiate
a further contract for the balance of the calendar year which
will assist in successfully achieving the goals adopted by the
Board..
