Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on authorizing the County Treasurer, in partnership with the County Auditor, to initiate a Pilot Program with the Wells Fargo Commercial Card Program, also referred to as a Payables Card, to be used by select Departments for use in the payment of monthly recurring utility and telecommunication billings.

Attached Point Paper.  Departments selected and agreeing to participate are IT, Facilities, and Parks.  A Wells Fargo Department Card will be issued to each Department by the Treasurer's Office.  Payment will be made by the respective Department on receipt of eligible invoices and then a monthly bill with all Credit Card payments will be submitted to the Auditor Office similar to the process currently used with the PCard from JP Morgan.  The benefit will be to pay invoices immediately and thus avoid late fees.  An additional benefit is to reduce the number of invoices submitted to the Auditor's Office with short payment deadlines.
