Background and Discussion:
The District Clerk's Office coordinates a wide range of office events as well as presentations and using the department's assigned procurement cards is a more efficient way to process these type of transactions instead of having to process individual reimbursements for employees who make the expenses.

Expected Impact:
This approval will increase the efficiency when planning during the fiscal year and serves as supportive documentation to reconcile P-cards per Purchasing Office Policy.

Alternative Options:
The alternative option is for individuals to make the expenses and submit requests for reimbursements each time.
