<br />II. INFORMATION SERVICES <br /> MRCs audit, information and consulting services are designed to assist <br /> Redwood City in developing and implementing strategies and solutions for <br /> revenue enhancement, maintenance and management. MRC's information <br /> services consist of the following: <br /> A. SALES TAX INQUIRY SYSTEM <br /> MRC will install and update quarterly the City's sales tax registration <br /> and allocation data on IBM compatible PCs designated by the City. <br /> We will also train authorized City staff in the use of the Inquiry <br /> System and furnish an easy-to-follow user manual. <br /> The Inquiry System will enable City staff to analyze the contribution <br /> of sales/use tax revenue from each taxpayer in the City, on an <br /> individual, grouped or sorted-order basis by business name, <br /> business type, permit number, size ranking, street address, <br /> development, shopping center or other geographic area. <br /> All sales tax data processed by MRC is located on the Inquiry <br /> System. History for each account can be called up by account <br /> number and even by business tax identification number(s), if the <br /> latter are added to the Inquiry System. MRC has made the Inquiry <br /> System extremely user-friendly, even incorporating different types <br /> of name and address searches. For example, the address search only <br /> needs the street name and will fill in the direction and proper <br /> abbreviation for the street type. <br /> Also, in looking up a particular type of business segment, a listing of <br /> business codes is shown on a "pop up" menu to help the user <br /> identify which code to select. The Inquiry System can also be used to <br /> geo-code specific areas such as City Council districts, shopping <br /> centers, redevelopment areas, etc. MRCs Inquiry System will even <br /> generate the geo-coded addresses, thus eliminating the need to <br /> manually place a code by each firm in a geo-area. The System will <br /> also eliminate a geo-area in a global command rather than having to <br /> eliminate geo-coded accounts one-by-one when removing a geo-area. <br /> Because the Sales Tax Inquiry System contains confidential <br /> information, access is limited to authorized personnel by making the <br /> System password - protected. <br /> "-.--..., -,~~..,.._...".._.."-".._.,----. -.....-..--+- . ,.. .......,._...,.,,,_.. ,_"" ..···.,._·,_".._._·",....m.,",··.·_.,,'_,,~"~~·...·_.··...__~,',..",..,.____~~____ T ....-"._-",,----- <br />
