On November 17, 2015, the Board adopted Resolution No. 15-164 certifying HdL as a designated representative of the County of Mendocino to examine all sales and use tax records. This was done to allow HdL to provide specialized services to the County related to sales tax auditing and analysis.

The County conducted a Request for Proposals process and selected Hinderliter, de Llamas and Associates as the contracted sales, use and transactions tax audit and information services firm. The consultant will provide sales tax and economic analysis services, allocation audit and recovery services, consulting and other optional services. The sales, use and transactions tax audit services will be provided based on a 15% recovery fee. The County’s previous agreement with MuniServices was based on a 25% recovery fee. In addition to the recovery fee, the contract provides for up to $100,000 for additional services such as economic development efforts, transient occupancy tax auditing services, and other services that may be provided by HdL, if determined appropriate by the County.
