Nassau board approves credit card for clerk with $2,000 single-purchase limit
Summary
Trustees authorized a village card (credit rather than debit) for the clerk to make needed online purchases, set a $2,000 per-transaction limit without board pre-approval, and directed monthly reconciliation and documentation.
The Nassau board voted to issue a credit card for the village clerk to facilitate online purchases and reduce delays in buying specialized items for the police and office. Trustees discussed controls — monthly statements and receipts — and amended the motion from a debit-card proposal to a credit card tied to the village’s bank.
Chair asked that card use be limited and documented; the motion approved a $2,000 per-transaction cap that does not require prior board approval, with larger purchases to return for board review. Committee members noted local bank relationships and card policies would be used to provide transaction-level detail for reconciliation.
