Council approves $5,000 credit card for fire chief to avoid out-of-pocket expenses
Summary
To reduce out-of-pocket purchases by the fire chief, the council approved issuing a city credit card for Chief Malthus with a recommended $5,000 limit; the change passed by roll call.
Commissioner Moyle asked that the council put on record a request to issue a city credit card to Fire Chief Malthus, noting the chief had been purchasing supplies personally and later seeking reimbursement. Commissioners and staff discussed typical departmental limits; a $5,000 limit was suggested and accepted.
"If we do... think of a credit limit as well instead of just yes or no," Commissioner Moyle said. The council moved and approved a motion to issue a credit card to the fire chief with a $5,000 limit by roll call vote.
