WHEREAS, the City of Grand Island currently has a limited number of credit cards
that are available from the city Finance Department for travel and purchasing, which has proved to
be a cumbersome and inefficient policy; and
WHEREAS, the City's Procurement Committee has reviewed this policy for
improvements and has recommended that the city's policy be revised to allow for at least one credit
card for each department; and
WHEREAS, it is the recommendation ofthe city's Procurement Committee that the
director of each department be accountable for the use of the credit card for his or her department
and that a monthly credit card limit often thousand dollars ($10,000.00) be established for each
department; and
WHEREAS, the city's Procurement Committee believes that this revision to the city's
procurement policies would facilitate travel arrangements, purchase of items not readily available
locally, reduce paper work and processing and allow for more price comparisons through the use of
the internet.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA, that the City of Grand Island hereby adopts the
attached "Departmental Credit Card Policy and Procedures Manual".
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the provisions ofthe "Departmental Credit Card
Policy and Procedures Manual" shall supersede any prior resolutions, policies or procedures in
conflict herewith.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Grand Island, Nebraska, April 22, 2003.
