Selectboard authorizes application for an Amazon Business credit card
Summary
The Woodstock Selectboard voted to allow staff to apply for an Amazon Business credit card to centralize departmental purchasing and capture vendor benefits; staff will keep existing internal purchase controls.
The Woodstock Selectboard authorized town staff to apply for an Amazon Business credit card to consolidate and streamline departmental purchases. Staff said departments are increasingly using Amazon for routine purchases and that a business account could capture added benefits; current internal approval processes would remain in place.
A board member moved to permit staff to apply; the motion was seconded and approved with affirmative votes. The board directed staff to maintain existing procurement controls and to bring any changes to purchasing policy back to the board if needed.
No specific card terms, reward structures, or credit limits were discussed on the record; staff sought the board’s permission to submit the application and to continue routing purchases through existing approval processes.
