Proposal for the City of Santa Ana, CA Page 5 ORGANIZATION QUALIFICATIONS ABOUT RCS RCS (Taxpayer ID No. 330787781) was founded in 1980 by two former City Managers and a Finance Director who, after the passage of Propositions 13 and 4, discovered that user fees were a legal option to recover lost municipal revenues. Forty-two years later, Revenue & Cost Specialists continues its focus on cost allocation and user fee calculation services. After the passage of AB 1600 in 1988, our company added impact fee calculation services to help municipalities finance public facility expansion. In 2000, RCS created Government Software Systems to develop robust costing software that serves fee calculation needs better than spreadsheets. Our company has provided additional services to municipalities, including long-range financial planning, accounting procedures, and utility rate studies. To this day, RCS continues to thrive through repeat business, referrals, and references. As a small business, RCS takes only a handful of new clients each year, allowing us to dedicate the appropriate number of resources to them. What’s unique about RCS is the work longevity of our team members. Client cities from 20 years ago still call and speak with the RCS Partner about their project back then. For 2023, RCS is celebrating our 43rd year in business and looking forward to another 40-plus years of partnering with municipalities. QUALIFICATIONS RCS’s five principals comprise the Limited Liability Company.
