FROM: Wayne Padilla, Finance and Information Technology Director
SUBJECT: APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY
AND MUNI SERVICES FOR UTILITY USER TAX (UUT) COMPLIANCE
AND REVENUE PROTECTION PROGRAM SERVICES PROVIDING FOR
AN EXTENSION OF THE AGREEMENT FOR A 2 YEAR PERIOD
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the amendment of the agreement with Muni Services for UUT compliance and revenue
protection services to allow the extension of that agreement for a 2 year period.
DISCUSSION
In 2011, the City entered into an agreement with Muni Services to provide the City with
information and guidance related to the maintenance and protection of the Utility User’s Tax
revenue stream. Since that time Muni Services has been instrumental in helping the City
successfully update its UUT ordinance through a ballot measure that won overwhelming support
in 2012. Currently, the City is utilizing the outside legal services provided under this agreement
to assist with the resolution of a significant refund claim that has been filed by a utility provider.
Based on this prior experience and the quality of the work performed by Muni Services, staff
recommends approval of the amendment and the extension of this agreement. The scope of
services are described in the original agreement with Muni Services (attachment 1).
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed contract amendment does not indicate a change in the current annual fee ($19,900)
for these services, which have been included in the current budget of the Finance & Information
Technology Department.
ALTERNATIVE
Do not approve the amendment to the agreement with Muni Services. This option is not
recommended due to the reliance that the City has placed on Muni Services in relation to the
current refund claim for UUT that has been filed.
