TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: PHIL BATCHELOR
County Administrator
DATE: May 19, 1989
SUBJECT: CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH CONTRA COSTA COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION FOR PROVISION
OF CONFLICT DEFENSE SERVICE
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION:
AUTHORIZE the County Administrator or his designee to execute a contract amendment
with the Contra Costa County Bar Association (Contract #3167100), for conflict defense
services, increasing the payment limit to $1,917,000 for the period July 1, 1988 to
June 30, 1989 and approve appropriation adjustment transferring funds to effect this
action.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The projected year-end cost for conflict and court appointed defense is estimated to
be $150,000 over the current budget. This amount includes the cost of cases with
court appointed counsel resulting from the Public Defender's Office 12/21/87-1/5/88
job action. These latter cases are not conflict cases. This added cost will exceed
$100,000 in 1988/89. Because the municipal and superior courts project fund balances
at year-end, these funds can be shifted to cover the additional requirements for
conflict defense.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND-
The County's current amended contract with the Bar Association for the provision of
conflict defense services has a payment limit of $1,750,000. Year-to-date figures
through April 1989, compared to April 1988, show 97 growth in new cases, 327 growth in
the active caseload, and 117 growth in expenditures. The significant increase in the
active caseload is the primary source of expenditure growth. Recent drug enforcement
and other law enforcement activities are causing further caseload increases resulting
in higher costs during the final months of this fiscal year. Increasing the payment
limit will permit the County to meet contract obligations claimed through June 30,
1989.
