Credit Card Policy

The purpose of this policy is to provide and strengthen guidance and procedures on the proper methods for purchasing goods and services with the City’s credit card. The purchasing card program is overseen by the Finance Department, but oversight for transactions is decentralized to all City departments.

The City’s credit card is designed to be used for conference and travel purposes (transportation and lodging) and specific types of incidental and emergency purchases. Regular standard purchase should always be processed via purchase order. The credit cards are issued to the Senior Leadership Team members after the authorization of the City Manager and can be used to make purchases for goods and services as outlined in the following policy.
