Meeting of: September 20, 2022
Submitted By:
Brian Gengler, City Engineer
Subject:
Capital Project Needs Analysis for Green Tree Blvd. Extension and Bear Valley Road Overhead at BNSF Railroad Projects
Recommendation:
That the Honorable City Council approve the Capital Project Needs Analysis for the Green Tree Blvd. Extension and the Bear Valley Road Overhead at BNSF Railroad Projects for Fiscal Years 2023/2024 through 2027/2028.
Fiscal Impact:
The approval of the Capital Project Needs Analysis does not have a direct fiscal impact.
Planned expenses for this fiscal year were included in the approved budget. An additional appropriation is not required.
Background:
The Capital Project Needs Analysis (CPNA) is used to analyze the cash flow needs for the Victor Valley Major Local Highways Program and the Valley Freeway Interchange and Arterial Programs to support decisions that will be made by the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) Board as part of their annual budgeting process. The Measure I 2010-2040 Strategic Plan requires that jurisdictions submit to SBCTA by September 30, 2022, both the CPNA for Fiscal Years 2023/2024 - 2027/2028 and an adopting resolution or minute action.
Discussion:
The Green Tree Blvd. Extension and Bear Valley Road Overhead at BNSF Railroad Projects need to be included in the CPNA to comply with SBCTA’s requirements. The CPNA project reports are attached that show the funding organized in a table by phase, fund type and fiscal year. The funding for the reports must be entered in an SBCTA form that has a pre-determined format. The funding for both projects is consistent with funding agreements (and subsequent amendments) which have been previously approved by 2 7
9 1
both SBCTA and the City. The funded phases are: PS&E (plans, specifications, and estimates); ROW (right of way); and CONST (construction). The fund types are as follows:
“DEMO” (federal demonstration grant funds); “MSI MLHP” (Measure I Major Local Highway Program); “MI LOCAL ST” (Victorville’s Measure I local pass-through); “STP” (Federal Surface Transportation Program); “Other” is Federal HIP (Highway Infrastructure Program); “HBP” (Federal Highway Bridge Program); “DEV LOAN” (road development impact fee loan from SBCTA); and “DEV FEE” (road development impact fees). The funds shown in the “Prior” column are funds programmed prior to FY 23/24. Cash will actually flow over several fiscal years, even though funds are shown in the “Prior” column.
Staff recommends that the Honorable City Council approve the Capital Project Needs Analysis for the Green Tree Blvd. Extension and the Bear Valley Road Overhead at BNSF Railroad Projects for Fiscal Years 2023/2024 through 2027/2028.
Staff is available for any questions the City Council may have.

Meeting of: September 20, 2022
Submitted By:
John Mendiola, Finance Director / City Treasurer
Subject:
Amendment Number Two to a Consultant/Professional Services Provider Agreement with Hinderlinter, de Llamas and Associates for Measure P Use and Transactions Tax Audit Services
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that City Council (1) approve Amendment Number Two to the Consultant/Professional Services Agreement with Hinderlinter, de Llamas and Associates (HdL) for Measure P Use and Transaction Tax Audit Services for the current year in an amount not to exceed $150,000.00 and (2) approve Resolution No. 22-107 increasing the budget to cover this agreement amendment.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact of this recommendation will require an additional appropriation of $100,000.00 from the Measure P fund 105. The increase is a result of unknown estimation of audit costs based upon several prior years of sales tax audits. The recent increase in Measure P use and transactions tax revenue, mirrors the increase in sales tax amounts placed in the state pool, resulting in additional audits by our consultant. The costs for the audits are coded as follows:
1050010-52300 (Measure P Contract Services)
Background:
On May 19, 2020, the City Council approved the Victorville Public Safety Plan. On July 21, 2020, the City Council passed Resolution No. 20-065 authorizing the submittal of a one percent General Transaction and Use Tax Measure (Measure P) to be submitted to the voters at the November 3, 2020, General Municipal Election. With the passage of this one percent General Transactions and Use Tax, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 20-112 on December 15, 2020, to authorize certain City officials and the City’s consultant (HdL) to examine California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) 2 7
9 3
Transactions and Use Tax records for any adjustments needed in tax reporting to the CDTFA along with underreported and late tax payments. Since Measure P took effect April 1, 2021, we now have a full year of results and surprisingly, Measure P results almost mirror the General Fund sales tax results on a quarterly basis. Our consultant, HdL, has been tasked separately, to audit all use and transaction tax receipts submitted to the CDTFA. The audit identifies lost revenues due to tax reporting or allocation errors resulting in recaptured revenues for the City. In the last decade, HdL has recovered approximately $3.4 million in sales tax revenue to the City and as mentioned previously, Measure P mirrors our sales tax results and we expect to recapture use and transaction taxes in a similar fashion going forward. For example, for fiscal year 2021, HdL audit costs were approximately $150,000 and with their audit services, HdL was able to recapture approximately $583,000 in sales tax revenue for the City.
Discussion:
Audit services have grown with the increase in distribution warehouses as well as the impacts from increased out of state online purchases (AB 147), since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. As defined in the original scope of services in Attachment A, HdL consultants perform ongoing Measure P transactions and use tax audits in order to identify and correct unreported or point of sale allocation errors, thereby generating previously unrealized use and transactions taxes revenue for the City. They are responsible for contacting the appropriate management and accounting officials in companies that have businesses where a probability of error exists to verify whether current tax receipts accurately reflect the local sales activity. Such contacts are conducted in a courteous and professional manner to encourage local business retention and expansion. Reports of all contacts and results are included in billings. HdL also prepares and submits to the CDTFA all information necessary to correct any allocation errors that are identified and follows up with individual businesses and CDFTA to ensure that all back quarterly payments due to the City are recovered.
As a result of the performance of the consultant in the audit capacity locating and recovering sales that were incorrectly applied to another entity or to the state pool, there is a need to increase the agreement amount to cover the payments to the consultant for their audit services.
Staff therefore recommends that the City Council approve the attached amendment to the Consultant/Professional Services Provider Agreement with HdL along with the attached resolution for increased appropriations. Staff remains available for any questions or comments.

Recommendation:
That the Honorable City Council receive and file this report.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact that will result from this recommendation, which is to receive and file this report.
Background:
At the City Council meeting held September 6, 2022, Mayor Pro Tem Irving motioned and the Council voted unanimously to place a report about the City’s recent community survey on the September 20, 2022 Council meeting agenda.
The City of Victorville conducted a community survey from May 17, 2022, to June 30, 2022, with the help of digital survey provider, Zencity. The purpose of the survey was to gather resident feedback regarding City programs and services to help us further inform our efforts to meet the needs of our community. The survey included questions about specific programs and services, as well as questions about overall quality of life in Victorville. This survey was delivered to residents digitally, in both English and Spanish, through a variety of online platforms. Please refer to Attachment A to review the survey questions.
Discussion:
The survey was promoted independently through digital ads distributed by Zencity, and through the City’s communication channels, including a press release, social media posts, website announcement and post, and digital newsletter, Victorville Connect, which is distributed to more than 35,000 people.

The response to this survey was statistically significant, with 483 residents responding as a result of Zencity online ads, and an additional 295 residents responding via City channels. Census data and rake-weighting were used to ensure the response sample was representative of the Victorville population.
The following are the major takeaways from the survey:
•46 percent of respondents feel the quality of life in Victorville is fair, 30 percent feel quality of life is poor, and 23 percent feel it is excellent. •While 47 percent of respondents would not recommend Victorville as a place to live, 45 percent think they will still be living in Victorville five years from now. •Respondents greatly appreciate that Victorville is rural and close to lots of natural open spaces, but they want to feel safer in our city.
•Respondents are dissatisfied with how the City is dealing with homelessness, and they want to see us invest more in homelessness solutions. •Respondents also want to see us invest more in road improvements. •The Fire Department, Environmental & Sanitation Services, Animal Care & Control, and Public Information were the top four rated services. •Homelessness Solutions was ranked the poorest, with Road Maintenance, Economic Development, and Library & Educational Programs also in the bottom four.
•Respondents’ favorite things about Victorville are our nature and parks, the rural feel, and affordability.
•Respondents would like to see the City reduce the incidence of crime and homelessness, as well as the lack of activities and amenities.
Please see Attachment B for a more in-depth summary of the survey results.
