SCOPE OF WORK: INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL REVIEW
This Scope of Work for an Independent Financial Review (Review) is intended to provide a
baseline assessment of the current and medium term financial health of the City of Chula Vista
and its Redevelopment Agency, particularly in assessing current implications of the past use of
financial resources (e.g., MOUs, use of redevelopment funds), the current financial direction, and
recommended course changes in light of debt, obligations, and expenditure levels relative to
revenue sources that include but are not limited to fees, property and sales tax, tax increment,
and developer impact fees.
The City's accounting procedures have been audited and are not a subject of this Review. If,
however, during the course of the Review, financial issues of accounting procedures relative to
the City's financial health are discovered, ltlese shall be identified.
The Review should use existing financial materials and reports provided by the City (including,
but not limited to, three years of Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFRs), audits,
budgets and mid-period reviews, bond statements, state mandated annual redevelopment reports
and any financial forecasts and assessments performed by staff or consultants) to prepare an
assessment of the City's current financial condition and a five-year forecast.
Desired results:
. A summary of the current approach used by the City in managing its finances;
. A review of the current state of City's financial condition relative to trends in revenues and
expenditures, use o/debt, development and demographic changes, sufficiency of
reserves, and identify opportunities and threats;
. A determination of and focus on the most pressing factors on the City's financial
condition, to include best case, worst case, and most likely scenarios for the operating
budget over a five or ten-year period
. A discussion of the financial implications of current and additional support for continued
residential and commercial development in newer areas and in supporting projects such
as the bayfront and urban core;
. A review of capital, infrastructure, and maintenance commitments and spending;
. A review of the past and current use and capability of tax increment financing as a means
of promoting redevelopment;
. An assessment of the financial implications of unfunded retirement liability; and
. Recommendations for strengthening Chula Vista's financial condition with respect to long
term sustainability.
The finished product should provide the City Council, City staff and the incoming City Manager
with a baseline assessment of how the City of Chula Vista is positioned financially for the present
and near future. A fiscal forecast of five to ten years, forecasting revenues and expenditures and
balancing them against the last year (e.g., year 2012) of the forecast should reflect the
anticipated facilities and major expenditures during the five- and ten-year periods.
Products:
. Final report with an executive summary, key findings, conclusions, and
2
) I B-1
recommendations in MS Word and/or Excel format
. Oral presentation of findings and recommendations with accompanying graphics suitable
for presentation (e.g., PowerPoint) to the City Council and to the community in a public
meeting.
