EXHIBIT A— SCOPE OF SERVICES <br /> ATTACHMENT 1 <br /> Utility Users Tax Compliance and Revenue Protection Program <br /> MuniServices, LLC ("MuniServices") agrees to provide the City with certain professional services in <br /> furtherance of a comprehensive utility users tax/franchise compliance and revenue protection <br /> program ("Program"), with broad participation by California public agencies, that is designed to <br /> preserve,protect,and enhance its utility users tax("UUT") and utility franchise revenues. <br /> Article 1-Objectives and Methods <br /> MuniServices Utility Users Tax Standard Program, described in Article 2 Section A, will <br /> provide compliance reviewing, geocoding, information, and associated services and skills, in <br /> conjunction with the legal and "protective" services of the City's outside counsel, Donald H. <br /> Maynor, A Professional Law Corporation ("Law Firm"),to establish and implement a Program <br /> that will allow the City and other participating California public agencies to preserve, protect <br /> and enhance their UUT and utility franchise revenues focusing on three areas: <br /> • Compliance Review Services; <br /> • Revenue Protection and Enforcement;and <br /> • Client Support Services. <br /> An optional UUT Premium Program described in Article 2 Section B, MuniServices offers City- <br /> Specific Auditing and Provider Specific Geo-Coding Services. These services include <br /> compliance and associated activities designed to establish and implement a Compliance <br /> Program that will allow participating California public agencies to preserve, protect and <br /> enhance their UUT revenues through a combination of auditing, geocoding, tax application <br /> compliance, business detection, ordinance modernization with election approval update, <br /> legislative monitoring, technology update, and other essential compliance and protective <br /> services. An effective Compliance Program will assist the City, and other participating public <br /> agencies, in identifying and correcting errors/omissions causing revenue deficiencies, and <br /> thereby produce new or previously unrealized revenue for such participants. The Program's <br /> tax preservation services will help protect the City's existing UUT revenues from erosion due <br /> to new legislation, new technologies, outdated ordinance language and inaccurate <br /> information. By offering these essential services through a comprehensive Program, with <br /> widespread participation, there are the additional benefits of: i) achieving lower individual <br /> costs for such joint activities; and, ii) developing consensus-based decisions regarding <br /> ordinance interpretations and tax implementation that utility industries require of California <br /> public agencies, including coordinated responses to proposed state and federal legislation. <br /> Article 2-Scope of Work <br /> A.
