as part of the new and revised positions for 1996. Seconded by

The committee reviewed request from department heads to obtain
credit cards for their use in making budgeted purchases for their departments as there are occasions where the best price
for an item may be at a company where the City does not have an account, or where they do not accept purchase orders.
Currently, the only department with a credit card is the police
department and it has worked well for that department. By establishing individual accounts, but still in the name of the City, the charges will be more easily reconciled and charged to
the appropriate department. Discussion ensued for reasoning and
number of departments covered. Ald. D'Acquisto moved to defer
until written policy on use is established. Seconded by Ald.
Sanders, motion carried 2-O.
