Board adopts Resolution 52026 to raise departmental petty cash to $200
Summary
Resolution 52026, which raises departmental petty cash from $100 to $200 (fire department already at $200), passed after discussion about audit procedures; clerk said petty cash is checked "to the penny."
The Board of Works adopted Resolution 52026 at its July 27 meeting to raise petty cash funds for city departments from $100 to $200; the fire department was already set at $200. The chair introduced the resolution and the board approved it by voice vote.
A committee member asked whether staff had audited departmental petty cash to ensure accountability. The clerk responded: "Every single time it turns in, fine tooth comb," saying petty cash is checked closely. The chair noted the $100 level had likely remained unchanged since 2019 and supported the increase.
A committee member moved to approve Resolution 52026 and the chair seconded; the resolution passed on a voice vote. No changes to audit procedures were adopted in the meeting record; the clerk indicated current checks are stringent. The board did not specify an effective date beyond the approval on July 27.
