TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CONTRA
COSTA
FROM: JOHN CULLEN _ COUNTY
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR STA CoUK
DATE: Juane 27, 2006 C' 1 DO
SUBJECT: CONTRACT WITH HINDERLITER, DE LLAMAS AND ASSOCIATES
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR.RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to execute a contract with
Hinderliter, de Llamas and Associates in the amount of $9,600 annually and 15% of revenue
received for sales tax monitoring and information services (not to exceed $400.000) from the
period July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2009.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The contract costs are based on two factors, a $9,600 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:. The County will recover substantially more revenues than the cost of this
contact.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
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. The State Board of Equalization provides
in depth monthly sales tax information to the County and specialized analysis.
The revenue generating potential of various commercial firms is critical to economic and
redevelopment planning. This issue has been discussed numerous times at meetings of the
Finance Committee. 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.
