The scope of services within this proposal includes: Services in support of balloted rate increases including: 1.) Recommendations on annexations, LLMD re-organization,or dissolution;2.) Public outreach regarding proposed rate increases;3.) Ballot services; 4.) Preparation of Resolutions and Staff Reports; and 5.) Attendance at City Council meetings(2 meetings) for: • 1993-1 Windsor • 1993-2 Bonde Ranch Serving California public agencies since 1985, we clearly understand these special levies provide vital funding to the City and that the City is seeking to retain the services of a professional levy administration firm to ensure accurate, legally compliant and successful collection of these important revenues. The annual continuance of these special levies is not automatic. It involves important technical, procedural elements and legal requirements each year including the preparation of the annual Engineer's Report.Our commitment is to provide these comprehensive services and minimize the time and resources of the City. We respectfully offer the following for your consideration: MOST COMPREHENSIVE LEVY ADMINISTRATION SCOPE The administration of the City's special levies is a very important fiduciary responsibility that should entail significant effort to ensure that the special levies are collected accurately and defensibly. Through the process of designing and establishing many new post-Proposition 218 benefit assessments, we have gained unparalleled and comprehensive Proposition 218 data flow and compliance expertise. EXISTING LEVY OPTIMIZATION EXPERTISE As noted, SCI Consulting Group's primary expertise is the levy administration of assessments,fees,charges and special taxes for public agencies. With over 33 years of experience in this specialized field, we have never missed a levy submission deadline and have an unparalleled track record of finding additional revenues for agency levies that were previously administered by another firm. In fact, in nearly every case in which SCI has begun to administer special levies that were previously handled by another firm or public agency; we have often uncovered significant additional revenues due to incorrect previous amounts or missing parcels that should be subject to the levies.
