Authorize County Counsel, or designee, to sign a letter allowing the Law Firm of
Miller, Starr and Regalia to represent William H. Bailey in connection with his property

Permit and zoning regulations.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The law firm of Miller, Starr & Regalia (principally Ed Regalia) is presently
representing Contra Costa County in connection with a lease purchase dispute with the
City of Concord. That law firm's office has been approached by a Mr. William H. Bailey
(owner of the above-noted property) concerning his current building permit and zoning
relationships with Contra Costa County and an appeal taken by others concerning his
application for a second unit land use permit on his Walnut Creek property.
County Counsel agrees with the Miller, Starr & Regalia's statement that its
representation of Mr. Bailey would not appear to involve any overlapping issues fact or law
concerning Mr. Bailey's Walnut Creek application for a second unit. For this reason, the
County Counsel recommends that the Board consider and approve Miller, Starr& Regalia's
request that the County waive any potential conflict to allow their representation of Mr.
William H. Bailey in connection with his current proposed second unit at 2 Deerfield Lane,
Walnut Creek.
