Summary

Commissioners approved a new county credit-card policy to standardize purchases, require clearer receipts, and reduce fraud risk after commissioners noted recurring unclear line items in statements.

San Juan County commissioners approved a new credit-card policy intended to improve purchase tracking and control fraud risk.

Multiple commissioners raised examples of unclear line items on card statements and recurring small charges that escaped earlier review. The policy clarifies required documentation, encourages inclusion of statutory or project line items on receipts and places responsibility for proper charges with card-holders and departmental supervisors. Speaker 1 moved to approve the credit-card policy; Speaker 1 seconded and the board voted aye.

Commissioners said auditors should welcome clearer documentation and that the policy will help keep purchases aligned to proper line items. Staff will implement the new policy and provide guidance to card-holders.
