Council authorizes city Amazon credit card with $5,000 limit for subscriptions and short-term needs
Summary
Council authorized staff to obtain an Amazon credit card for city purchases and set a $5,000 limit to cover monthly subscriptions and occasional travel-related expenses; legal review was requested before final application.
Council authorized the city clerk to establish an Amazon-branded credit card for municipal purchases and approved a $5,000 credit limit to avoid shortfalls when recurring subscription and software charges post simultaneously.
Council members discussed existing cards, subscription timing (Office 365, Dropbox) and a desire not to carry revolving balances: the stated intent was to pay the card monthly. The chair said Jamie would review legal aspects before submitting the application and that Mindy (the signer) would be the account signatory. The motion to authorize the card with a $5,000 limit passed by the council.
Members confirmed monthly reporting and receipt requirements for purchases to maintain current internal controls (double-signature checks for written payments remain in place).
