The annual renewal <br />agreements specify the vehicle assignments, the per-mile rate charge and the driver <br />cost-per-hour. The Human Services Transportation Advisory Board endorsed the <br />rate schedule for FY99-2000 as follows: Driver rate (bus. Hours) - $.14.00 and <br />(2) Van rate - $ .40 and Minibus/Bus rate - $ .45. <br />These revenues were included in the Department's approved FY99-2000 budget. The <br />agreements also clarify the benefits and responsibilities of the various parties involved <br />in the provision of transportation. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />The rates will help the agencies to continue their service and not have a negative <br />impact on operations. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends approval and Chair to sign FY99-2000 OPT <br />Agreements for Vehicle lease and Driver assignments with human service agencies listed above. <br />FN:/H/bocc/ab91005A.doc <br />
