Requisition of Credit Card <br /> By Sgt. Jim Way <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The Police Department has been using a credit card for various purposes. From time to <br />time, the police department makes purchases that require a credit card number in order to <br />complete the purchase. Several of the companies that equipment is purchased from will <br />not accept a City Purchase Order Number and a credit card must be used. Also, some of <br />the training that officers attend requires a credit card number to hold the spot in the class. <br />Often times, officers have had to travel outside the city in city vehicles and gasoline has <br />been purchased using a credit card. <br /> <br />During a recent audit of the City of Ramsey, it was learned that the City Council must <br />first approve the requisition of a credit card. This was an oversight by the Police <br />Department in not getting prior approval to secure a credit card. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Allow the continued use of the Community First Visa card by a very limited number of <br />police employees; Sgt. Way, Sgt. Dwyer, Crime Prevention Specialist Kreyer and Office <br />Manager Wiemann. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to allow the Police Department to continue to use the previously obtained <br />Community First Visa card. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Finance Officer <br />City Administrator <br />Police Chief <br /> <br />-51- <br /> <br /> <br />
