Editor's note— Ord. No. 3691, § I, adopted July 17, 2018, repealed § 3.33.010, which pertained to county counsel fees and derived from Ord. 2947 § 1 (part), adopted in 1987; Ord. 3058 § 1, adopted in 1991; Ord. 3100 § 1, adopted in 1992; Ord. 3135 § 1, adopted in 1993; Ord. 3267 § 1, adopted in 1998; Ord. 3347 § 1, adopted in 2002; Ord. 3403 § 1, adopted in 2004; Ord. 3475 § 1, adopted in 2007; Ord.

Notwithstanding the above provisions, in appropriate cases the county counsel may, with the approval of the county administrator and the board of supervisors, make special arrangements with an independent public agency for representation on a special fee or cost basis.

(Ord. 2947 § 1 (part), 1987)

The fees established by this chapter are less than the reasonable value of the services of the county counsel's office and reflect some subsidization of the agencies to which the legal services are provided. To that extent, the fees specified in this chapter shall not be binding upon the county in cases in which the county is entitled to recover attorneys fees, by court order or otherwise.
