Agenda Item Text:
Adopt revisions to the Purchasing Card Policy effective February 1, 2018.
Background:
The Board of Supervisors originally approved the County's credit card policy on May 14, 2002. Revisions were approved on March 17, 2009. Since that time, business practices by both the private and public sector have changed to improve the efficiency of procuring goods and services and it is good practice to review current policies to insure that the provisions are still applicable. As a result, a review of the policy was conducted and it was determined that revisions were needed to make the policy clearer in regards to acceptable use of purchasing cards.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
If approved, the Procurement Department will begin communicating the revisions to the policy and train all current purchasing card users and liaisons and then put in place the procedures to train new employees who are deemed to be card holders.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
The Procurement Department will continue to communicate the provisions of the current policy to all current and new card holders.
