body
BACKGROUND:
The County has had a “no-fee” agreement with MuniServices, LLC (MuniServices) since July 1, 2012. In exchange for access to the County’s sales tax information, the County receives quarterly cash receipts analysis, multi-year sales tax forecasts, sales tax capture and gap analysis, economic updates of current sales tax related events, and an executive summary which highlights economic changes, historical performance, and related news.
DISCUSSION:
Both parties wish to continue the “no-fee” relationship. The Resolution before this Board will allow MuniServices to access the County’s sales and transactions and use tax records at the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (formally the State Board of Equalization).
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form.
Approval of this resolution contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Collaborative Community by maximizing sales and transaction and use tax revenues and ensuring that sound practices are used to project sales and transaction and use taxes for budgeting purposes. Sales and transactions and use tax revenue is a significant general purpose funding source that can be used at the Board’s discretion to provide services that achieve the County’s vision.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
