HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 08252009 - C.89RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee to execute a contract
with Hinderliter, de Llamas and Associates in amount of $375,000 for sales tax monitoring
and information services for the period of July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2012.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The contract costs are based on two factors, a $7,200 flat fee annually for sales tax
information and technical assistance, and 15% of all revenue received by the County as a
result of a contractor's audit. Historically, the County has recovered substantially more
revenues than the cost of this contract. Additionally, the audit fee is one time while the
recoved taxes tend to be on-going.
BACKGROUND:
The need for detailed sales tax information is essential to revenue forecasting and economic
development planning. Revenue forecasting has become more and more difficult over the
years because of substantial fluctuations in revenue. A lack of monthly or annual revenue
patterns require a more in- depth analysis of sales tax revenue. Hinderlinter, de Llamas and
Associates

Subject:Contract with Hinderliter, de Llamas and Associates
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
provides in- depth quarterly sales tax information to the County and specialized analysis.
The revenue generating potential of various commercial firms is critical to economic and
redevelopment planning. Additionally the Redevelopment division of the Community
Development Department is a user of the data generated by HDL in its planning and
analysis activities.
Finally, HDL was instrumental in working with the County to revise the regulations of the
State Board of Equalization to allow sales tax revenue to be allocated to the County for
major industrial facility upgrades and public infrastructure projects.
