Answer Question Comments

25 Yes The Local Finance Board recently adopted new rules, outlined in Local Finance Notice 2013-17, expanding municipalities' ability to purchase goods and services with procurement cards. The most significant change is the elimination of the prior per-transaction monetary limitation on P-Cards (15% of local unit's bid threshold) where a Qualified Purchasing Agent manages a local unit's P-Card program. Has your CFO, head purchasing official or other appropriate municipal official evaluated and discussed with your governing body (or an appropriate subcommittee thereof) how and whether a procurement card program could benefit the municipality or, if a procurement card program already exists, whether the program complies with the new regulations? If you answered "Yes", please state in the Comment section in the approximate date of the discussion and whether the discussion was with the governing body or, if with a subcommittee thereof, name the subcommittee. If your municipality has a procurement card program, please name the vendor in the Comment section. Discussed at budget meetings with the Citizens Budget Advisory Committee. Approximate date March 4th, 2014.
