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 Director of Community Development 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. An extension agreement for the 1989/1990 fiscal
year was approved by the Board on June 27, 1990. Of the original $50,000
amount, over $20,000 still remains to be applied to this extended contract,
which would run from June 30, 1990 to June 30, 1991.
BACKGROUNDIREASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The Board of Supervisors, as Governing Board of the Contra Costa County Water
Agency, has designated Cressey Nakagawa as Special Counsel to the Water 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 State 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.
