Current through 2024-38, September 18, 2024

1. The SLA or Vocational Rehabilitation shall provide adequate initial stock when the vending facility is established. The dollar value of the initial stock will be recorded and charged to the manager. The manager will be expected to reimburse SLA within the first year of operation unless an agreement is already in place for the manager to leave an inventory equal in value when they terminate their association with the facility.

2. The SLA shall provide suitable equipment when the vending facility is established. Costs for replacement or repairs of worn out and obsolete equipment shall be paid by the SLA with set-aside funds. Each manager shall take reasonable care of equipment and maintain it in operating condition. A $200 per item deductible for repairs of equipment shall be paid by the manager. This cost may be deducted under "miscellaneous expense" on the weekly report form. The SLA will be kept apprised of repairs and arrange for the removal of equipment to be replaced.

3. Any equipment to be purchased by a manager must be approved in advance by SLA if reimbursement is expected. If equipment is purchased with this approval, equipment shall become part of the equipment inventory of the facility and will remain at the facility upon departure of the manager. The manager will notify the SLA if they intend to purchase equipment and retain ownership, in which case the manager is responsible for maintaining this equipment. Upon departure from the facility, manager will be responsible for the removal or transfer of this equipment.

4. The SLA shall furnish initial petty cash sufficient to enable the manager to commence operation of the business. Upon termination of the facility operation, the manager shall return the same amount of cash to the SLA.

5. The rights and title to equipment shall remain with the SLA.
