Original Message From: "Fred Ruiz" <fredr@hallcountyne.gov> To: "Pam Lancaster" <pelcommish @charter. nets, "Scott Arnold" <sarnold @gipolice. org >, <daveziola@netzero.com> Cc: "Holly Plejdrup" <hollyp a7 iallcountyne.gov>, "Marla Conley" <marlac@hallcountyne. gov> Subject: US Bank Purchase Card program Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 11:36:16 -0500 I just wanted to give the three of you a heads up on a topic that 1 will be bringing up at the next meeting. Approximately a year ago or so we had a presentation by US Bank regarding a county wide purchase card program; during the interim Marla Conley decided that she did not want to participate in this program. I spoke with Marla and discussed with her that we would be interested in doing this & we would act as our own manager but that it was my understanding that her office would be the contact/contract. This was due to the fact that her office is statutorily responsible for payment of claims. I hope I'm not speaking out of tum but Marla did tell me that as long as she did not have to manage different department accounts she would not be opposed to taking on this program. On Tuesday, August 23` HCDC met with US Bank representatives and the program was briefed to us again. We were told at this time that if the county did join this program that other interested department heads could contact them & they would set them up with the purchase card program. We will do the leg work regarding the application and any other work that needs to be done to apply for the program if we get your approval & Maria's. Just a reminder for the new board members this is a purchase card program that is sponsored by NACO and does generate some funds. for NACO for the use of the card. The card can be assigned to employees who go on transport trips, training /conferences, and be used for meals, equipment, and other approved purchases. The Department manager can set up parameters as they see fit (daily limits, expiration dates, etc.). This is a whole lot better than a credit card issued to me & Hall County while the application to obtain it was derived from my personal information. N
