FISCAL IMPACT The costs incurred under this contract in FY 2003-2004 will be included in the County Administrator's Proposed 2003-2004 Budget and are anticipated to be appropriated in the Final Budget for FY 2003-2004. Provision of conflict defense services by the Bar Association is contingent upon appropriation of funds in the Finan Budget. BACKGROUND/REASON(S)FOR RECOMMENDATION(S): Since 1983, the County has contracted with the Contra Costa County Bar Association for the provision of conflict defense services. The original contract'was in response to the escalating cast of conflict defense services under the old system of court-appointed counsel. Subsequently, in FY 1991-92,the Public Defender created an Alternate Defender's Office to handle conflict cases. The cases referred to the Bar Association generally represent multiple co-defendant cases in which the Alternate Defender's Office can only handle one co-defendant. r' CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: —X—YES SIGNATURE: — A6COMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE PPROVE OTHER SIGNATURE(S): "� a Y Action of Boar 1 V ), Z' 7 Approved as Recommended X Other VOTE OF SUPERVISORS I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A TRUE /� AND CORRECT COPY OF AN ACTION TAKEN UNANIMOUS(ASSENT ;.J ti '. ) ARID ENTERED ON THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON THE DATE AYES: NOES: SHOWN.

Contract with Contra Costa County Bar Association For Provision of Conflict Defense Services Page 2 May 13, 2003 The contract with the Bar Association for conflict defense services includes only the costs associated with representing criminal and delinquency cases referred to the Bar Association through a written affidavit conflict by the Public Defender and the Alternate Defender. It does not include provision for costs of representation of dependency cases. These cases have been excluded from the County's contract since the Lockyer-Isenberg Trial Court Funding Act of 1997 placed the responsibility for payment of costs associated with such cases within the Courts' State Trail Court Funding budget. It is no longer a County financial obligation. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Payment of criminal conflict attorney services is a mandated County cost. If the recommended action is not approved, the contract with the Bar Association will terminate June 30, 2003. The appointment and payment of private attorneys for conflict cases that cannot be handled by the Alternate Defender's Office will revert to the court-appointed method used prior to the Bar Association contract. All active and new criminal and delinquency conflict cases will be referred to the courts for appointment of defense counsel. TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Contra' FROM:: Warren E.
