FROM: Harvey E. Bragdon Contra
a
Director of Community Development
Costa
DATE: June 15, 1989 Coiry
SUBJECT: Approval of Legal Services Contract Extension Agreement with
Cressey H. Nakagawa for Contra Costa County Water Agency
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Approve, as Governing Board of the Contra Costa County Water
Agency, the Contract. Extension Agreement for Legal Services with
Cressey H. Nakagawa, and authorize the Chair to execute the
extension agreement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The original agreement calls for payment of a retainer fee of
$1, 000 per month for 10 hours of legal consultation and advice.
Any legal services in connection with pending or future
litigation and for legal consultation and advice in excess of 10
hours each month shall be charged at $100 per hour. The original
contact runs from July 1, 1988 through June 30, 1989, and calls
for a maximum fee of $50,000. The maximum fee of $50,000 has
been included in the water Agency budget for fiscal year 1988/89 .
of that $50,000 amount, over $30,000 still remains to be applied
to the extended contract, which would run from June 30, 1989 to
June 30, 1990.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The Board of Supervisors, as Governing Board of the Contra Costa
County Water Agency, has designated Cressey Nakagawa as Special
Water Counsel to the Agency. This agreement continues the
services of Mr. Nakagawa from an earlier agreement which will
expire.
The Contra Costa County Water Agency is involved in several water
rights matters which require a Special Water Counsel. The most
pressing issue is continued monitoring of and participation in
the Water Resources Control Board water rights hearings on Bay/
Delta Water Quality.
Mr. Nakagawa has been representing the Water Agency for many
years and his performance merits renewal of the Agreement for
Legal Services.
