Selected county employees issued credit cards
Staff reporter
Credit cards will be distributed to specific Marion County employees this week which can be used for securing lodging, and purchasing meals, fuel, and items less than $500.
Marion County Clerk Carol Maggard said the "purchasing cards" will have the individual employees' names on them as appointed by department heads. Any purchase $500 or more has to have commission approval. Maggard will administer the card plan.
"Everything will require receipts and will be checked before payments are made," Maggard said. Employees will sign forms regarding the credit card policy and what are allowable charges.
