Dade County Commissioners Call Special Meeting to Consider Purchasing and Credit Card Policies

DADE COUNTY, Ga. — The Dade County Board of Commissioners has scheduled a special called meeting for Tuesday, November 17, at 4 p.m. to discuss and consider approval of new county purchasing and credit card policies.

The meeting comes as county officials continue efforts to establish guidelines governing the use of taxpayer-funded purchasing and credit cards.

According to the official meeting notice, commissioners will consider policies that would apply to county employees, elected officials, and constitutional officers.

The board will also consider adopting an amendment to Ordinance No. 02-04-16, which governs county-issued government purchasing and credit cards.

The issue of county credit card spending has been a subject of public discussion in recent months, with residents raising questions about accountability, oversight, and the use of taxpayer funds.

Commissioners previously discussed proposed changes to county purchasing and credit card procedures but did not adopt a revised policy at that time.

The November 17 meeting will provide another opportunity for the board to consider formal policies governing county spending.

The official meeting notice does not outline the specific spending limits or other provisions that may be included in the proposed policies.
