B. Hardin, J P D. <br />Asst. to County Administrator <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal <br />consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at the regular <br />meeting on August 3, 3983: <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />During the recent budget reviews it was necessary for the Board of <br />County Commissioners to eliminate funding for several charitable <br />organizations during the 1983-84 budget year. Among these organi- <br />zations eliminated was the Association for Retarded Citizens of <br />Indian River County, Inc. and the Vocational Training and. Sheltered <br />Workshop in Indian River County. In an attempt to continue to <br />support some of these organizations the Board approved the purchase <br />of gasoline from the County and instructed staff to make all neces- <br />sary arrangements with approved agencies. 'This 'organization has <br />requested they also be allowed to purchase gas through the County. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />Staff's market survey indicates the price paid for regular gasoline <br />at fuel stops within Indian River County by -The Association for <br />Retarded Citizens is $116.9 cents per gallon. The County pump -price <br />currently is $1.07, a difference of $9.9 cents per gallon. Infor- <br />mation from the Association states that the Association purchased <br />4,895 total gallons of gasoline. By purchasing from the County, this <br />could result in a savings of approximately $484.70 at present prices. <br />By October 1, 1983, larger storage capacity should be available at <br />the County garage This will enable the County to purchase fuel at <br />$99. cents per gallon. At this price a savings on 4,896 gallons <br />will probably result in a total savings of $15.9L cents per gallon or <br />$778.46 annually. Staff would require that all vehicles be properly <br />marked so there would be no problem insuring that no private vehicles <br />were gassed. Drivers would be issued County .ID cards which would be <br />used.to enter grounds and properly identify as authorized personnel. <br />Separate records would be maintained and billing would be forwarded <br />at the end of each month. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends approval of the request to allow the Association <br />for Retarded Citizens and the Vocational Training and Sheltered Work- <br />shop purchase gasoline from the County. <br />53 <br />AUG 31983 BOOK � ��� <br />
