Ravalli County commissioners voted to issue a new credit card with a $1,000 credit limit for the county airport’s new manager, Tim Smead, during their July 1 meeting.

County staff said the previous airport manager’s card had been canceled and shredded and that the prior card carried a $1,000 limit; commissioners moved and seconded a motion to issue a replacement card with the same limit. The motion passed with aye votes recorded from Jeff, Greg and Chairman Bryant.

No public comment or additional restrictions on card use were recorded during the vote. The record does not include a formal policy for allowable purchases tied to the card in this motion; staff or finance follow-up was not recorded on the public record.
