At its Jan. 20 special meeting, the Harris City Council reviewed city credit card options and concerns raised by the City Treasurer, and Councilmember Garrett Pearson proposed issuing cards to key departments with preset limits.
Pearson proposed that the Clerk, Public Works and Fire Department receive cards each with a $2,000 limit and that the Parks Department receive a card with a $500 limit.
