Consideration of Amendments to Countywide Policy 7035, Purchasing Cards Authorization and Use
Body
Requested Agenda Item Description: These proposed amendments to Countywide Policy 7035, “Purchasing Cards Authorization and Use,” would clarify that county-issued P-Cards should not be used to purchase gift cards for employee use, which is consistent with changes simultaneously being proposed to County HR Policy 4-800, “Service Awards.” If approved by the Council, these proposed amendments would provide that gift cards shall only be purchased for customers or clients for county business-related reasons and may no longer be awarded to employees. County agencies shall have internal procedures outlining the acceptable use, safeguarding, and tracking and distribution of gift cards purchased for county business-related reasons. These proposed amendments to Countywide Policy 7035 would also eliminate references to Countywide Policy 7036, which the Council is considering repealing today as a separate agenda item
