City of Santa Ana Page 6 Community Development Agency Financial Review very beginning. The action plan provides a management tool for assessing progress toward executing the recommendations detailed in our report. PROJECT TEAM Given the nature of this engagement, UPI proposes to assemble a project team based on the unique needs of the City. Michael Busch will provide overall direction and Bill Covington will provide support as necessary. Michael Busch, President, joined UPI in 2007 following a successful career in municipal government. He has a unique background having served as a Planner, Finance Director, City Treasurer, Deputy City Manager, and Assistant City Manager. This professional background has given him extensive experience in strategic planning, municipal finance, and economic development/redevelopment. Michael has a bachelor's degree in urban and regional planning from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and a master's degree in public administration (with an emphasis in finance) from California State University, Long Beach. He recently served as an adjunct faculty member at the University of Southern California, Graduate School of Policy, Planning, & Development. Bill Covington, Principal, joined UPI in 2013 and previously served as a Partner with Lopez and Company, LLC as a lead CPA conducting compliance reviews for the US Federal Transit Administration and Department of Energy (Office of Inspector General). Mr. Covington received his BS degree in Accounting from San Diego State University and MBA from Washington State University. HOURS, SCHEDULE, AND COST UPI estimates that over 125 hours will be required for the project. We will complete the plan of work described above for a fixed fee of $25,000, which includes our expenses. CONCLUSION We look forward to working with the City of Santa Ana.
