RECOMMENDATION(S):

Authorize the Purchasing Agent on behalf of the Health Services Department, to purchase two hundred (200) Safeway supermarket gift cards in an amount of $5 each for a total of $1,000.00 to use as incentives for participation in the Health Care for the Homeless Focus Groups for the period February 1, 2016 through January 31, 2017.

If this Purchase Order is not approved, the County may not be able to meet the Grant requirements by finding participants for the Health Care for the Homeless Focus Groups.
