This program allows <br />eligible participants to obtain a $12 voucher to purchase gasoline at <br />market rates from Freeway Chevron. These vouchers are part of the <br />supportive services offered to participants to allow them to find and <br />retain employment. The arrangement was made with Freeway Chevron because <br />of the close proximity to the W/O/R/K Center and its willingness to <br />participate in the program. <br /> <br />With the current economic environment and the rapid increase in the cost <br />of gasoline, there has been a large increase in gas voucher distribution. <br />As a result, the $10,000 vendor payment maximum was reached in September. <br />Staff recommends that the contract with Freeway Chevron be amended in <br />order to continue these necessary supportive services to eligible <br />participants. <br /> <br />250-1 <br /> <br />
