County presents credit‑card inventory for signature and reopens per‑diem discussion
Summary
Finance staff presented a county‑wide credit‑card inventory and clarified that county credit cards may not be used to purchase employee meals; commissioners discussed possibly switching to per‑diem reimbursement but left the matter for future work with full commission present.
County finance staff presented a credit‑card inventory and related materials for the commissioners' review and asked that the chair sign the documents.
Staff noted the county has $273,000 in total credit‑card limits across funds and clarified a policy distinction: meals may be reimbursed under the county travel policy but are not an allowable expense on county credit cards. “Meals on credit cards is not allowed per the credit card policy,” a staff member said, and the finance staff repeated, “Do not. Yes.”
Commissioners discussed moving from an actual‑receipt reimbursement model to per‑diem and whether that change should be considered by the audit/finance committee or a work session with all commissioners present. The audit committee previously reviewed per‑diem and voted to retain the current receipt‑based reimbursement model; several commissioners asked for a fuller discussion with all three commissioners present before making any change.
Staff asked the chair to review and sign the credit‑card inventory and will return a formal item to the regular agenda for signature as needed.
