FISCAL IMPACT The provision of conflict defense services by the Bar Association is contingent upon appropriation of funds in the Final Budget. Appropriations for FY 2005/06 will be submitted for approval in the Final Budget for FY 2005/06, and subject to cancellation if funding is not approved. Funding for the second year of the contract will be recommended for FY 2006/07 with the contract subject to cancellation if not approved as part of the Final Budget for FY 2006/07. BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATIONS): 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 cost 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 all co-defendants.

ABSENT: ABSTAIN: ATTESTED CONTACT: Lisa Driscoll(335-1023) JOHN SWEETEN,CLERK OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR CC: County Administration BY ,DEPUTY Contract with Contra Costa County Bar Association Page 2 June 21, 2005 The contract includes the costs associated with conflict defense services for representing criminal and delinquency cases referred to the Bar Association through a written affidavit of conflict by the Public Defender and the Alternate Defender. Additionally, the contract will include provision for the County's obligation to pay for legal services in Juvenile Immigration and Guardian Ad Litem cases. The contract 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. The contract will include a new fee schedule for cases appointed after July 1, 2005. The Bar Association contract has not had an increase in the fee schedule since July 1, 2001. The proposed fee schedule would increase attorney rates by 5%, and results in an estimated increase of$90,000 in annual costs. Additionally, $70,000 is included in the contract for Juvenile Immigration and Guardian Ad Litem cases that were previously paid by the Courts and reimbursed by the County, but will now be paid directly by the County through this contract. 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, 2005. 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 would be referred to the courts for appointment of defense counsel. Contra TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS '-- + -��'=� r s FROM: Warren E.
