QUESTION: Do the City of Cookeville and Putnam County offer government credit cards to use on job expenses? Are there limits on how much the employees can spend and what items they can use the cards to pay for? Do all employees have them or just certain departments -- which departments?
ANSWER: Mike Davidson, finance director for the City of Cookeville, said the city provides a credit card to each departmental director and police detective to use for business and travel related expenses. Directors are authorized to purchase items that do not exceed $500 in value without approval from the city manager. Also, the police department maintains a training credit card that is not assigned to an individual officer, but used by any officer for travel related training expenses. Kim Blaylock, Putnam County executive, said Putnam County does not have credit cards. Some of the departments have "store" cards. Only employees authorized to make purchases have assess to these cards.
