CITY COUNCIL MEETING
FEBRUARY 15, 1989
The City Council authorized the City Manager and the City
Clerk to amend the agreement with the Farmers and Merchants
Bank of Central California concerning City credit cards to
make adjustments to the present limits of the City Manager
and City Clerk as follows:
a) City Manager's limit adjusted from $5,000 to $10,000
b) City Clerk's limit adjusted from $10,000 to $15,000
The City Council was advised that, for the past three
years, the Cit.- has utilized credit cards in conjunction
with attendance 5y the City Council and staff" at
conferences, training seminars, and other miscellaneous
meetings. For the past two years the agreement has been
with the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Central California
and this has proved most satisfactory. The use of these
cards results in monthly reports of precise accounting of
such expenditures and has proven to be an excellent
management tool.
It is now necessary to reconunend to the City Council that
the limits presently in place for the City Manager and City
Clerk be increased by $5,000 each. Advance registration
and transportation costs are arranged for, using these
cards. What two or three different conferences, training
seminars, and the like, occur in close proximity to one
another these arrangements can exceed the current limits.
This primarily is the result of increased costs,
particularly in airfare. Accordingly, it is recommended
the credit card limit for the City Manager be adjusted from
$5,000 to $10,000; and the limit for the City Clerk be
adjusted from $10,000 to $15,000. a.l l other cards issued
(Assistant City Manager, Finance Girector, Community
Development Director and Parts and Recreation Director)
will remain at $5,000.
