Acceptance and approval to process a partial payment (as required by & to Citi Bank Credit Card Services) in the amount of $4K against (as yet unreconciled) 99 days past due amount of $7,469.57 in order to "release suspension" status on Hidalgo County's Credit Card account with authority for Hon. Norma G. Garcia, Hidalgo County Treasurer to issue check including the overnight mailing of said check to Citi Bank.

It appears that this types of past due balances are occurring since the County as a matter of protocol and process waits to pay all charges to the Citi Bank after receipt of the Final Travel Expense Report is submitted by user and reconciled.  Moving forward, the Auditor and Purchasing will initiate a different protocol in order to have a continuous flow of payments to Citi Bank based on reconciled charges by the Travel Coordinator in the Purchasing Department upon receipt of the Statements.
