SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
COMMEND Steven M. Woodside, County Counsel, Santa Clara County, for
his tireless service and outstanding contribution in helping to
bring about a very favorable settlement of the State Board of
Equalization litigation.
BACKGROUND:
A task force of California State Association of Counties members
was formed to negotiate a settlement agreement with California
utilities which would be acceptable to the State Board of
Equalization and the State Attorney General.
A key contributor to this task force was Steven M. Woodside, County
Counsel, Santa Clara County, whose tireless efforts and countless
trips to attend meetings throughout the State helped forge a master
settlement agreement of pending lawsuits. While thousands of hours
were spent by the State Board of Equalization Tax Case Committee
members during the past six months, it was the significant
contributions made by Mr. Woodside which helped formulate the
strategy to put together the many intricate pieces of this
agreement. His interpersonal communication skills, powers of
persuasion and professionalism were invaluable in accomplishing
this very difficult and significant task.
The citizens of Contra Costa County appreciate these successful
negotiations which have saved all Californians more than one
billion dollars.
