Department Credit Cards

 9-23-25

Question below from Rebecca at Wabasha County. Please comment below or rlukes@co.wabasha.mn.us

Our Finance Director let us know that our CC issuer will not let the current set up for our Social Services card continue after this year.    

 Our card is housed in Finance, secured and tracked – has Wabasha County Social Services as the name on the card. It sounds as though the bank is wanting to get away from cards without an individual name listed. We are worried that if there is a person listed ON the card, if someone else needs to use it, the merchant will not allow the transaction.     

How does your county handle their credit card?  Are there individual cards issued to people with their names on the card? If so – do you always have that person making the purchases?  Or do you have issues if others use the card? What is the process like if the person whose name is on the card leaves county employment? Is it a hassle to get a new card with a new name, etc?

We are paying for a correctional placement for a kiddo who was charged here in our county and no open workgroup. Has anyone requested reimbursement from the commissioner of corrections? My director sent me the below snapshot of a statute. Thank you!

Evaluation Criteria for Hiring Staff

Question below from Goodhue County:

Do any of you have any specific evaluation criteria for supervisor and/or staff positions? We have the same evaluation used county wide for all positions, but we are looking at creating addendums based off of units/positions.
