AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Execute Professional Services
Agreement with Hinderliter, de Llamas and Associates for Sales Tax and
Economic Analysis, Allocation Audit and Recovery, and Consulting Services
($101,847 estimate)
MEETING DATE: July 19, 2017
PREPARED BY: Deputy City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to execute Professional
Services Agreement with Hinderliter, de Llamas and Associates
(HdL) for sales tax and economic analysis, allocation audit and
recovery, and consulting services.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: HdL has provided sales tax audit, economic analysis, recovery, and
consulting services to the City of Lodi for more than 26 years.
Compensation for these services has remained constant at the fee
established by the original contract executed in 1991. The monthly fee is currently $500 and a separate
fee of 15 percent of any recovered revenues is assessed. Over time, HdL has significantly expanded its
service level, number and quality of management reports and added detailed sales tax budget estimates
to its scope of services without increasing the cost to the City. HdL has approached staff with a proposed
increase in its monthly fee to $550. HdL has also proposed a CPI increase component in the updated
agreement. The current compensation will bring Lodi in line with what other cities of similar size and
complexity are paying for the same services.
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed contract would cost the City an estimated $101,847 for the
five-year term. The table below shows the estimate of charges.

APPROVE
er, City Manager
HDL performs audits of sales tax records that have resulted in significant revenue recovery for the City.
Over the past three years, these audits have generated approximately $90,000 per year in revenue. It is
anticipated that revenue recovery will be sufficient to fully fund this contract and increase sales tax
revenue for the duration of the five-year term, making this an overall good investment for the City and the
General Fund.
FUNDING AVAILABLE Both revenue and expenses related to this contract are budgeted in Fiscal
Year 2017/18. Expenses are budgeted from account 10095000.72450.

EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The CONTRACTOR shall perform the following services (collectively, the
"Services"):
A. SALES TAX AND ECONOMIC ANALYSIS SERVICES
1. CONTRACTOR shall establish a special database that identifies the
name, address and quarterly allocations of all sales tax producers within
the CITY for the most current and all quarters back to fiscal year 1988-
1989 or earlier, if the CITY has prior historical sales tax data available on
computer readable magnetic media. This database will be utilized to
generate special reports to the CITY on: major sales tax producers by
rank and category, sales tax activity by categories, or business districts,
identification of reporting aberrations, and per capita and outlet
comparisons with regional and statewide sales.
2. CONTRACTOR shall provide updated reports following each calendar
quarter identifying changes in sales by individual businesses, business
groups and categories and by geographic area. These reports may
include, without limitation, quarterly aberrations due to State audits, fund
transfers, and receivables along with late or double payments, and
quarterly reconciliation worksheets to assist with budget forecasting.
CONTRACTOR shall meet quarterly with CITY.
3. CONTRACTOR shall additionally provide following each calendar
quarter a summary analysis for the CITY to share with Council Members
Chambers of Commerce, other economic development interest groups
and the public that analyze CITY'S sales tax trends by major groups, and
geographic areas without disclosing confidential information.
4. CONTRACTOR shall make available to CITY staff CONTRACTOR's
web -based sales tax computer software program containing sellers
permit and quarterly allocation information for all in -city business outlets
registered with the Board of Equalization and updated quarterly. This
software shall allow CITY staff to search businesses by street address,
account number, business name, business type and keyword, arrange
data by geographic area, and print out a variety of reports.
B. ALLOCATION AUDIT AND RECOVERY SERVICES
1. CONTRACTOR shall conduct initial and on-going sales, use and
transactions tax audits to identify and correct distribution and allocation
errors, and to proactively affect favorable registration, reporting or
formula changes thereby generating previously unrealized sales, use
and transactions tax income for the CITY and/or recovering misallocated
tax from previously properly registered taxpayers. Common errors that
will be monitored and corrected include, but are not limited to:
transposition errors resulting in misallocations; erroneous consolidation
of multiple outlets; formula errors, misreporting of "point of sale" to the
wrong location; delays in reporting new outlets; misallocating use tax
payments to the allocation pools or wrong jurisdiction; and erroneous
fund transfers and adjustments.
2. CONTRACTOR shall initiate contacts with state agencies, and sales
management and accounting officials in companies that have businesses
where a probability of error exists to verify whether current tax receipts
accurately reflect the local sales activity. Such contacts will be
conducted in a professional and courteous manner.
3. CONTRACTOR shall (i) prepare and submit to the Board of Equalization
information for the purpose of correcting allocation errors that are
identified and (ii) follow-up with individual businesses and the State
Board of Equalization to promote recovery by the CITY of back or
prospective quarterly payments that may be owing.
4. If during the course of its audit, CONTRACTOR finds businesses located
in the CITY that are properly reporting sales and use tax but have the
potential for modifying their operation to provide an even greater share to
the CITY, CONTRACTOR may so advise CITY and work with those
businesses and the CITY to encourage such changes.
C. CONSULTING AND OTHER OPTIONAL SERVICES
CONTRACTOR may, from time to time in its sole discretion, consult with CITY
staff, including without limitation, regarding (i) technical questions and other
issues related to sales, use and transactions tax; (ii) utilization of reports to
enhance business license collection efforts; and (iii) sales tax projections for
proposed annexations, economic development projects and budget planning. In

RESOLUTION NO. 2017-130
A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH HINDERLITER, DE LLAMAS
AND ASSOCIATES, OF DIAMOND BAR, FOR SALES TAX AND
ECONOMIC ANALYSIS SERVICES
WHEREAS, Hinderliter, de Llamas and Associates (HdL) has provided sales tax audit,
economic analysis, recovery, and consulting services to the City of Lodi for 26 years; and
WHEREAS, HdL has provided excellent service to the City for that period of time,
including expanding the number and quality of management reports, and adding detail to sales
tax budget estimates without a compensation increase; and
WHEREAS, HdL's services to the City enhance the City's sales tax revenue by ensuring
timely and accurate payment of receipts, as well as thorough review of historical inaccuracies in
sales tax receipts and allocations; and
WHEREAS, based on the recovery rate for the last three years of approximately $90,000
annually, sales tax revenue recovered by HdL will more than offset the proposed increase in the
monthly cost of the services provided; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a
Professional Services Agreement with HdL, of Diamond Bar, to update the City's fee structure to
be in line with the rates other agencies are paying for the same service.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Hinderliter,
de Llamas and Associates, of Diamond Bar, California, for sales tax and economic analysis
services for an estimated $101,847 over the five-year term of the agreement.
