RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a second amendment to the lease between the County and Contra Costa Juvenile Advocates (CCJA) to extend the term of the lease through June 30, 2022, for office space at the County-owned building located at 2020 North Broadway, Suite 203A, Walnut Creek, with no change to the rent.  

FISCAL IMPACT:

Revenue income 100% General Fund. Each year of the lease results in $11,976 to the General Fund.  

BACKGROUND:

CCJA has been a County tenant in this building since September 2017. CCJA provides services for the Superior Courts. CCJA coordinates experienced counsel to represent indigent parents, children, and other parties in the dependency proceedings. CCJA has increased the services provided for this Superior Court location.  


CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

CCJA must be in close proximity to the Juvenile Court in order to provide services to the families and children in need of their legal expertise. If the lease is not amended, CCJA will need to find other space near the Juvenile Court to provide their services.  

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

In order to assign Counsel to children and parents in the juvenile dependency proceedings, a CCJA administrative assistant is present in court to make the assignments, to check the financial eligibility of adults and to determine if any conflicts of interest may exist due to prior representation by attorneys involved in the cases. It is very efficient to have a CCJA representative in Court to assign Counsel immediately as requested by the Court.
