💳️ Tucker City Council Increases Employee Credit Card Limit

The Tucker City Council recently approved an increase in the city's monthly credit card spending limit from $50K to $100K. Don't worry – this doesn't mean a spending spree! Finance Director Beverly Hilton explained that the city rarely even approaches the previous limit, typically spending between $20K to $33K per month.

The change comes after the city was hitting its credit limit too early in each billing cycle. Currently, 18 staff members have purchase cards with individual spending limits ($5K for directors, $1K for other employees). Hilton emphasized strict controls, noting that employees are personally liable for any charges and must submit receipts for every purchase.

Councilmember Virginia Rece pushed for transparency, requesting a detailed discussion about the credit card policy. Hilton assured the council that the purchase cards are primarily used for necessary expenses like athletic supplies, travel, food, and membership dues – especially since many vendors now prefer electronic payments.
