SUBJECT: ��/
Contract with Jackson/Barish & Associates
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(_S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the County Administrator to execute, on
behalf of the County, a contract with Jackson/Barish .& Associates
in the amount of $60,000 for the period January 1, 1987--December
31, 1987 for the purpose of providing specified legislative
representation to Contra Costa County.
BACKGROUND-
In December, 1986, the Board of Supervisors authorized the County
Administrator to negotiate contracts with legislative lobbyists
for the 1987 calendar year. The County Administrator has
negotiated a contract with Jackson/Barish & Associates to provide
legislative representation on a limited number of specified
issues and to provide general representation of the County on
issues relating to the proposed .local government fiscal relief
program which might include a sales tax transfer in exchange for
giving up certain categorical funds, funding of the trial courts
as proposed in AB 19 ( Chapter 1607, Statutes of 1985) , and
efforts to relieve counties of certain State-mandated local
programs.
A number of the specific legislative initiatives are ones
Jackson/Barish & Associates were working on for the County in
1986 and with which they are already familiar. We also believe
Jackson/Barish & Associates is well-qualified to provide the more
general representation of staying in touch with the leaders in
the Legislature and the Administration to insure that in any
local government fiscal relief program the interests of Contra
Costa County are adequately taken into consideration.
