TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS DATE: February 16, 1988
FROM: cc:
Perfecto Villarreal , Executive Director
SUBJECT:
AMENDED AGREEMENT FOR LEGAL SERVICES
THE OSBORN COMPANY, INC. V. HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE
COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE amended agreement for Legal Services with Respect to Litigation in
Connection with Low Income Housing Project between Lempres & Wulfsberg and the
Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa and AUTHORIZE execution of said
agreement by the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, as approved by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds for payment of both the necessary legal fees to Lempres & Wulfsberg and
the settlement on this lawsuit are available in the Development Account for CA011015,
Elder Winds, Antioch.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
On October 27, 1987, the Board of Commissioners approved a proposed agreement
for legal services on the Osborn lawsuit. This proposed agreement between Lempres &
Wulfsberg and the Housing Authority was submitted to HUD for approval and
reimbursement. Legal Counsel for the Department of Housing and Urban Development
requested that certain items relating to reimbursement and compensation be more
specifically defined and the amended agreement reflects these changes. The amount of
compensation for legal services was not changed. The amended agreement for legal
services has been reviewed and approved by County Counsel .
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners elect to not approve the amended agreement
with Lempres & Wulfsberg and authorize its execution by the Chairman of the Board, as
these modifications are a condition precent to reimbursement from HUD, the Housing
Athority could find itself without funds with which to pay both the necessary legal
fees and the settlement.
