DATE: CITTA cou-,

SUBJECT: CONTRACT FOR LEGISLATIVE REPRESENTATION IN SACRAMENTO
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMORDATION:
1. Approve and authorize the County Administrator to execute on
behalf of the County a contract with SRJ. Jackson, Barish &
Associates for legislative representation in Sacramento during
the period January 1, 1991 - December 31, 1992 with a payment
limit for the two years of $156, 000.
2. Authorize the County Administrator to .attach to the contract
as a Work Plan for calendar year 1991 the Board' s Legislative
Program as it is adopted by the Board on November 27 , 1990 and
thereafter to attach as a Work Plan for calendar year 1992 the
Board' s adopted 1992 Legislative Program.
BACKGROUND:
For the past several years the County has contracted with SRJ.
Jackson, Barish & Associates and its predecessor firms. As we
have reported to the Board of Supervisors in periodic reports,
and most recently in the Final Status Report on the Board' s 1990
Legislative Program, we have been exceptionally successful,
particularly in 1990, in achieving passage and enactment of the
major pieces of the Board's Legislative Program. Several
department heads have commented that the legislation which was of
particular interest to them would not have passed without the
efforts of Clay Jackson and Les Spahnn.
We are, therefore, recommending that the Board contract again
with Mr. Jackson' s firm, this time for a two year period
encompassing the entire 1991-92 Session of the Legislature.

On the Determination calendar this morning the Board will be
considering its 1991 Legislative Program. This Program, once
adopted by the Board of Supervisors, becomes the Work Plan for
this contract. As the Board is aware 1991 will be a critical
year as the new Governor and Legislature struggle with many of
the same budget problems which confronted the State in 1990 and,
in addition, begin to grapple with issues of regional governance.
We believe that it is important for the County of Contra Costa to
provide leadership and influence in. these deliberations. This
can best be achieved, we believe, with the approval of this
contract, along with the frequent (almost daily) contact which
makes this contract work and with frequent input from those
department heads who have items in the Legislative Program and
who are most impacted by the discussions around the state budget.
