Romo began RPG in the year 2001 after receiving an MBA degree and having worked as a city <br />planner for more than 10 years. His intent was to provide land use entitlement services to developers and <br />wireless telecommunication providers. However, in a short period, he found a niche serving as a project <br />manager and interim staff planner for several Southern California jurisdictions and has since provided <br />assistance to more than 17 communities at various capacities. Mr. Romo has been contracting with <br />planning firms, cities, and private developers as a division manager, case planner, and staff planner for the <br />last 7 years. <br />The primary objective of RPG is to offer services that will enhance customer service, organization, <br />communication, code interpretation and implementation for community development departments and <br />arrive at solutions to help achieve the goals and objectives of a jurisdiction's General Plan. <br />With more than 17 years of planning experience, Gustavo J. Romo and a network of independent city <br />planners work through RPG to match their urban planning skills with temporary staffing requests and <br />case -by -case assignments. RPG attracts independent planners by providing professional and commercial <br />liability insurance, medical insurance, disability insurance, and technical/administrative support. Due to <br />RPG's low overhead costs, the planner retains 80-90% of the fees charged to the local jurisdiction. The <br />jurisdiction, in turn, avoids paying the high rates often associated with large consulting firms. As a <br />result, planners seeking work through RPG offer diverse backgrounds and experience and are very adept <br />in all aspects of the urban planning process. <br />Page 3 <br />
