DISCUSSION  
10.A. Travel Agency Discussion  
Discussion was held regarding the use of a travel agency for company travel. The proposed  
agency, Riverdale Travel, requires a one-time cost of $1,000 for the travel system to be  
implemented. Costs are then accrued on an as-needed basis as employees use the service.  
Utilizing a travel service will provide clear and organized invoices, as well as cut down on  
employees needing to use their personal credit card for travel-related expenses. Employees may  
choose to use the travel service, or they may still book travel on their own. While the travel  
agency cannot register employees for conferences or pay for registration fees, most conferences  
will invoice the County for registration fees and the department can pay the invoice following  
regular procedures. By a show of hands, Committee members gave consensus to move forward  
with a vote on the purchase requisition at the next Finance Committee meeting. It was asked that  
both Elected Officials and County Board Departments be included in the estimated travel costs.  
10.B. County Credit Card Discussion  
The County will not be issuing additional credit cards to any departments at this time. Once the  
new travel agency service is in place, managers and supervisors will be able to monitor how  
much employees still purchase on their personal credit cards for work-related travel and other  
miscellaneous work-related items. For any conference registration fees, employees are  
encouraged to request an invoice from the agency and have it be paid following regular  
procedures.  
10.C. Budget Survey Discussion  
Chair Chaplin asked Committee members for their opinion on the draft budget survey. A request  
was made to include food insecurity as an option under the Community Well Being question.  
Committee members gave consensus to proceed with rolling out the budget survey in early June.  
11.  
OLD BUSINESS  
No old business was discussed.  
12.  
13.  
NEW BUSINESS  
Member Krajewski brought up a change involving credit card convenience/surcharge fees. Staff  
will look into the details of the related legislation to see how it may impact the County.  
ADJOURNMENT  
A motion was made by Member Ozog and seconded by Member Garcia to adjourn at 6:20 PM.  
Upon a voice vote, the motion passed.
