SUBJECT: CONTRACT WITH CONTRA COSTA COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION
FOR PROVISION OF CRIMINAL CONFLICT DEFENSE SERVICES
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION'S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION.
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to execute a contract
with the Contra Costa County Bar Association, in an amount not to exceed $1,550,000 to
continue to provide mandated criminal conflict defense Services for the period July 1, 2004
through June 30, 2005, Subject to cancellation if not approved as part of the Final Fiscal
Year 2004-05 Budget.
FISCAL, IMPACT
The costs incurred under this contract in FY 2004-05 will be included in the County
Administrator's Proposed 2004-05 Budget and are anticipated to be appropriated in the
Final Budget for FY 2004-05. Provision of conflict defense services by the Bar Association
is contingent upon appropriation of funds in the Final Budget.
BACKGROUND/REASON{ FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
Since 1083, the County has contracted with the Contra Costa County Bar Association for
the prevision of conflict defense services. The original contract was in response to the
escalating cost of conflict defense services under the old system of court-appointed
counsel. Subsequently, in FY 1001-92, 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.

Contract with
Contra Costa County Bar Association
For Provision of Conflict Defense Services
Page 2
June 8, 2004
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 coasts 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, 2004. 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.
