<br /> <br /> <br /> CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM BRIEFING SHEET <br /> <br /> Submittal Date: Originating Department: Presented By: Agenda Item No.: <br /> 9/03/10 <br /> Council Date: Finance Gene Anderson 23. <br /> 09/13/10 <br /> RECOMMENDED MOTION: <br /> Move to approve a resolution repealing Resolution No. 2010-081 and approving a new agreement <br /> between the with MuniServices, LLC for local hotel occupancy tax consulting services and authorizing <br /> the City Manager to negotiate and execute all necessary documents. <br /> POLICY ISSUE(S): <br /> Fiscal management. <br /> The City Council had previously approved an agreement with MuniServices subject to the company's <br /> acceptance of two changes in the proposed contract. One change was that the automatic renewal clause <br /> was to be removed and the second change was that fees were to be paid only on the businesses that were <br /> actually audited. These changes have been incorporated into the attached agreement; however, the fee <br /> for audit only services is $1,200 per hotel audited. The prior agreement fees were $600 per hotel but <br /> were levied against all hotels. Four of those hotels would have been audited in a given year while the <br /> remaining eight hotels would only have an analysis of their quarterly returns performed that year. <br /> <br /> The proposed agreement would also provide a review of the current hotel occupancy tax ordinance and <br /> MuniServices would work with the local hotels and City staff in improving understanding and <br /> compliance with the local occupancy tax ordinance. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: <br /> None <br /> EXHIBITS: <br /> Resolution with agreement. <br /> <br /> ACTION: BUDGET INFO: <br /> ❑ Financial Report ❑ Minute Order Exp.
