County Administrator C
DATE'. April 5, 1988 Casty
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT WITH CONTRA COSTA COUNTY BAR
ASSOCIATION FOR INDIGENT DEFENSE SERVICES
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND Aim JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the County Administrator or his designee to execute a contract amendment, and
any further amendments thereto, with the Contra Costa County Bar Association for conflict
defense services to increase the payment limit to $1,570,000 for fiscal year _ 1987/88
(Contract Number 3167100).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds are included in the approved budget for 1987/88 for the costs incurred during the
current fiscal year. Contract amendment does not increase contract beyond the amount
anticipated and budgeted.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The above recommendation is based upon a review of expenditures. under this program,
including the contract with the Bar Association for Conf lict. Def ense Services- through the -
end of February. Given current expenditure trends and caseloads, the increased payment
limit recommended above should be sufficient to carry the Bar Association through
June 30, 1988. Please note, however, that there is a certain volatility to these kinds of
cases and heavy expenditures in the months of March, April and May might require further
amendment. The County Administrator's Office will continue to monitor this budget unit
and work closely with the Bar Association to control costs. Please note that the Bar
Association is also administering claims from attorneys appointed by judges during the
recent public defenders' job action. This was authorized by your Board on
February 23, 1988. This will require an augmentation of the Bar's administrative contract
by approximately $5,000 to handle the increased workload. This will, however, be within
the payment limit noted in the above contract and is consistent with the Board Order of
February 23, 1988.
