Department:	Veteran's Service Office

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the development and submission of a contract amendment to the Texas Veterans Commission for the Veterans Transportation Assistance Grant; and to authorize the County Judge to sign all relevant documentation. There will be no impact to the general fund.

Issue: After the first six (6) months of the program's implementation, the Webb County Veterans Service Office has assessed that changes to the proposed budget will improve the program's efficiency.

Solution: The request for amendments to the following categories: salary and wages, travel, equipment and supplies.

Result: The proposed amendments will result in changing the Part-Time Driver to a Full-Time position in order to meet the demand of clients needing transportation to medical appointments. Additionally, a five percent (5%) salary allowance for the Program Coordinator is being requested in order to carry out administrative duties of the program. Costs budgeted for travel will be reassigned for vehicle maintenance and repairs. Lastly, funds allocated for fuel will be reassigned towards promotional activities of the program in order to attract more beneficiaries and ensure maximum client turnout.
