Kingsbury County authorizes single purchase card for larger purchases
Summary
On March 17, 2026 the Kingsbury County Board unanimously authorized Auditor Echo Steffensen to obtain a single purchase card from American Bank & Trust to cover larger county purchases. The Board approved the request by motion (Lundquist; Walls) with all five commissioners voting aye.
The Kingsbury County Board of County Commissioners voted Tuesday to allow Auditor Echo Steffensen to obtain a single purchase card from American Bank & Trust to facilitate larger county purchases. The motion was made by Commissioner Corey Lundquist, seconded by Commissioner Roger Walls, and the board vote was recorded as "all present voting aye."
County Auditor Echo Steffensen brought the request to the agenda during the March 17 meeting and described the card as intended for larger, infrequent purchases that present challenges for processing by check. Commissioners did not attach additional conditions to the approval; the action is procedural and authorizes the auditor to obtain and manage one county purchase card. The Board approved the amended agenda to include the request and carried the motion unanimously.
The approval was recorded as a formal board motion (motion by Lundquist; second by Walls). The Board also noted routine clerical items and upcoming budget hearings during the same meeting; no dissent was recorded on the purchase-card motion.
