Resolution #C-71-94
Moved by Councillor Hooper, seconded by Councillor O'Toole
In consideration of the resolutions dea1ing with the use of Municipal Credit
Cards by members of staff and Members of Council for the Municipality of
Clarington. There is an obvious need to bring forward a policy dealing with the
appropriate use of Municipal Credit Cards.
It is not the intention of this resolution to suggest that any member of staff or
Member of Council has knowingly abused the privilege of a Municipal Credit
Card.
Also, it would appear necessary to review allocations made during the budget
process dealing with expenditures of a discretionary nature. These
expenditures should be brought to the attention of Council periodica1ly for
their approval.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the CAOtI'reasurer bring
forward a report outlining any and all existing policies which presume to deal
with the appropriate use or condition of use of Municipal Credit Cards.
THAT this report be prepared in sufficient time to be discussed by all
Members of Council during this year's budget deliberations.
The intention of this resolution is to remove any and all doubt as to the
appropriate use and conditions of use of a Municipal Credit Card.
