<br />City Council Regular Meeting - 12/20/04 <br />Minutes - Page 16 <br /> <br />Al Sands, 3612 AIdine <br />Mr. Sands questioned the different allocation of cards among <br />various departments. <br /> <br />Finance Director Chris Miller responded as follows: <br />* A "department" card provides less accountability than <br />individual cards; <br />* Different amounts reflect a customized approach to each <br />employee's duties and responsibilities - cards can be limited to <br />specific stores and amounts depending on that employee's job <br />duties; <br />*The only part-time employees with cards are firefighters who <br />are regular part-time City employees, not seasonal or temporary <br />part-time employees; <br />*Purchasing cards are in lieu of petty cash accounts and provide <br />more accountability then petty cash accounts; <br />*Purchasing cards do not change how much money is spent, just <br />how already approved spending is tracked and accounted for. <br /> <br />Councilmember Schroeder spoke against the motion. <br />Mayor Klausing spoke against the motion. <br /> <br />Roll Call <br /> <br />Ayes: Ihlan and Kough. <br />Nays: Schroeder, Maschka and Klausing. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kough also moved, Ihlan seconded, to limit <br />employee meal reimbursement to situations where employees are <br />50 or more miles away from Roseville. Resident Terry Moses <br />spoke in favor of reimbursing only if the travel is overnight. <br />John Kysylyczyn said he echoed the comments of Terry Moses. <br />Mayor Klausing, Councilmember Maschka and Councilmember <br />Schroeder asked for additional detail. <br /> <br />Councilmember Ihlan moved a friendly substitute motion, Kough <br />accepting and seconding, for employee meal reimbursement only <br />if an employee were traveling overnight and out of town. <br /> <br />Roll Call <br /> <br />Ayes: Ihlan and Kough. <br />Nays: Schroeder, Maschka and Klausing. <br />
