AMENDMENTS TO THE EXISTING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND
MUNISERVICES, LLC AND APPROVING A 1 -YEAR EXTENSION WITH OPTION TO
RENEW TO PROVIDE SALES AND PROPERTY TAX ANALYSIS AND REPORTING
SERVICES, AND ON -GOING SALES AND PROPERTY TAX AUDIT RECOVERY
SERVICES
WHEREAS, on October 5, 2010, the City and MuniServices entered into an
initial one -year term to provide sales tax, property tax and audit recovery services for
the City and then, Lynwood Redevelopment Agency, with two one -year options to
renew existing agreement at the City's discretion; and
WHEREAS, the initial one -year term ended on October 4, 2011 and due to the
uncertainty with regard to redevelopment agencies, the City did not exercise its right to
extend existing agreement for an additional year; and
WHEREAS, due to ABx1 26 provisions to dissolve redevelopment agencies,
staff saw a need to renegotiate and amend the existing agreement to omit all services
relating to redevelopment, and
WHEREAS, the new proposed agreement will also allow MuniServices to
continue to provide services to the City for an additional year, with two one -year options
to renew agreement at the City's discretion.
NOW, THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD DOES
HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, ORDER AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council approves a new agreement between the City of
Lynwood and MuniServices, LLC and authorizes the Mayor to execute attached
Agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney.

tax and property tax analysis and reporting services.
Section 3 . For audit recovery services, the City shall remit 20% of newly
recovered sales tax revenues and 25% of newly recovered property tax revenues to
MuniServices. Since audit findings are on a per basis case and cannot be forecasted,
the City Council authorizes the City Manager or his Designee to authorize transfers from
received sales tax and property tax revenues to pay for recovery fees due to audit
recovery services provided by MuniServices.
Section 4. The term of new agreement shall be retroactive to October 5, 2011
and expire on October 4, 2012 and shall include two (2) one -year extension options at
