Office of the Courts
Fiscal Year 2001-2002
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize County Counsel or his designee to execute a contract for the
provision of legal services by County Counsel to the Administrative Office of the Courts on
behalf of the Superior Court of Contra Costa County at specified hourly rates during the
period December 18, 2001 through June 30, 2002. (No Net County Cost)
FISCAL IMPACT:
For legal services to be provided, the County will receive compensatory per-hour revenue
payments.
BACKGROUND:
Historically, the County Counsel's Office has provided legal services to the Superior Court
of Contra Costa County. Following the enactment of Government Code section 811.9, the .
State Judicial Council, through its Administrative Office of the Courts, became responsible
for the representation, defense and indemnification of courts, judges, and court staff, and
the Court left the County's Risk Management program. The AOC would like to contract with
the County Counsel's office to provide legal representation for the Superior Court on
matters covered under the Judicial Council's Litigation/Risk Management Program. The
contract will enable County Counsel to continue to provide legal services at reasonable
rates for the Superior Court of Contra Costa County and to receive compensation therefore.
To the extent that County Counsel services are provided by attorneys funded by the Risk
Management Trust Fund, revenues received for these services will be reimbursed to the
Trust Fund.
