CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum ' li~ .
T0: Mayor and Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Gregg Voxland, Finance Director
SUBJ: Sam's Club Credit
DATE: May 8, 2008
Introduction
Council is requested to authorize the restructuring of the city account
at Sam's Club.
Background
When the account at Sam's Club was authorized and set up, an individual
had to be responsible for the account and Sam's did not take credit
cards. Recreation had requested the account and the Recreation
Director was made responsible.
Sam's has changed their requirements and no one needs to be personally
responsible any more. The restructuring would put the Finance Director
as the primary person for the one city account and would control who
has cards. The Sam's revolving charge would be used because Sam's
currently does not accept VISA which the city uses for its credit
cards. Sam's also offers delivery on some types of purchases.
It is anticipated that two employees in each of the Recreation, Police,
Fire, Public Works and City Hall would have cards. Cards are $35.00
for a set of two. The account itself is $35.00 per year which includes
two cards.
Action
Move to authorize a City of Shakopee membership and revolving credit
arrangement for Sam's Club without an individual being personally
responsible for the account.
