DISCUSSION
The Community Development Agency's Santa Ana W /O /R/K Center manages several programs
including the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). Participant clients are offered supportive services
including gasoline vouchers to facilitate their ability to find and retain employment. The prepaid
gasoline -only card program enables clients to purchase competitively priced gasoline at their
local neighborhood gas stations as opposed to a single station. In addition, the Personnel
Services Agency purchases gift cards from SVM as employee incentives for the Commuter
Service Program. Other departments may also opt to purchase gift cards from SVM for various
incentive programs.
SVM, LP, a provider of major gas cards and merchant gift cards, is the sole source provider for
Chevron prepaid gasoline cards. Chevron was selected based on their low surcharge fee and
numerous locations throughout Orange County.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item supports efforts to meet Goal #7 Team Santa Ana, Objective #6, provide a
positive workplace environment that supports the health of its employees and celebrates its
success.
